Chapters 3 and 4

In chapters 3 and 4, I found myself more interested in the events that took place. In chapter 3, I found the way Toloki helped Obed get out of a court case very interesting. It showed me the kind of caring, honest guy he is and how kind and forgiving Beth Eddy was. I was still a little confused at what all of the ancestor stuff and Shawnee versus Cherokee argument was about. However, I found chapter 4 extremely interesting. I really enjoyed learning about the struggle of Nicodemus and Abednego and their escape to freedom. I found the role of the Massa Blue Fly very interesting and all of the little people that helped make such a huge difference along their journey, both good and bad. I though reading this chapter helped me understand their life and the similarity between their life and the Quigley's life and beliefs about tradition. I am interested in learning more about the Quigley's and Toloki's experience with them.
