Chapters 5 and 6

these two chapters where really interesting to me. It allowed the reader to get more in depth on the Quigly family and to see ruth and oprahs problems. Some of the things mentioned in this chapter were kind of weird and disturbing. It was cool to learn that oprah does art in spare time and it sad that her mother does not agree with it. The reader gets to learn about the community center and how the family functions on a daily basis. In chapter 6 it flashes to when The quigly in the old days lived. He was an irishman who came to america on a boat. When we got here he was very sneaky and tried to make money as much as possible by selling women and fake potions. He had to pay the price though when he became a slave on the Fairfeild farm. The chapter ends with him making a life for himself in kilvert.
