... hand, gives her more credit than she deserves.

I got mad and realized I was pleading with a dumb little Mexican wench and I told her so” (p. 80) This quote makes clear Sal’s intentions with this woman, and also the fact that he is somewhat racist. Then when Sal gets a job working in the fields with Terry, it’s as if he views it all as a camping trip, or even an experiment, to possibly further himself spiritually.
“There was a bed, a stove, and a cracked mirror hanging from a pole. It was delightful" (p. 96) Notice the way Sal makes light of their circumstances. He does not appear to even consider Terry’s poor situati ...

journeyed together.

Pudd'nhead Wilson: Slavery
Number of Words: 853 / Number of Pages: 4
... and Tom is set into slavery and "Valet" de Chambre" is set
free.
The issue of slavery comes up throughout the novel. The reality of

She was to move away to Yugoslavia to escape Hitler’s regime. The girls promised to never forget each other and they never did; even long after the war was over.

I think She did this well because she lived in Austria at that same time and had to leave seve ...
