Book Club Journal Entrie # 1
Describe the historical time period, according to the chapter. What clues from the chapter support this time period? How do the characters talk, dress, act, and/or think? How does the setting of the novel lend to your understanding of this time period?
The Historical time period according to the chapter is at the begging of the revolutionary war. It starts when the British defeat to patriots at the fight of fort Washington.The chapter also describes that there was a fight when the main character starts talking to another slave and the other slave describes how "blood was running like water. Blew arms and legs everywhere." The chapter also states that the main character/ Isabell was getting the house ready for a party her master was going to have in honor of the patriots defeat at Fort Washington.
Madam/ the master is getting all dressed up for the big party that that are going to have. The book even says that she glues mouse fur to her eyebrows to make them more bushy! She is acting very proper and talking like she is the most fancy person in the world. The setting of the book lends me to understand the time period because it describes that is takes place around Fort Washington. It also says that it takes place in New York.
In conclusion, the place were Isabell lives is alive with activity and I am sure there is much more big wars, party's, down sides and up sides to come.
