I find that i like Ruth less and less with each page. She seems completely unable to respect anything new. If it does not pertain to her ideals then it must be related to the devil. It seems hypocritical for someone who talks commonly of her slave ancestors, escaping in equality, to turn around and be so completely closed minded, and cruel to her daughter.
In chapter six I was surprised by Quigley's business, of selling homeless children as slaves. I'm curious as to if that is historically accurate, though after thinking about it, I wouldn't be surprised if someone tried it at one point. I also thought it was fitting that his slave sold him into slavery claiming he was a mulatto just as Quigley had claimed of so many homeless children.
