Chapter8-9 page 57-74
One day, Harriet couldn't endure the treatment to her by her owner and planed escape from him, but her family frevented her from escaping. She give up escaping once. However, she couldn't endure after all. Finally, she performed escaping. Her owner put $300 reward on her. The search for her lasted much longer than she would expected. Her friends and family tried to persuade her to give up escaping and ask her owner's forgiveness, but she didn't follow the advice. While she was running away, she was bitten on her leg by poisonous snake, so she needed someone's help. Then, Mrs.Wright, who had known Harriet's grandmother and always had been very friendly to Harriet's family, sheltered Harriet in her house. While Harriet was hiding in Mrs.wright's house, Mr.Sands bought Harriet's sister and children who was in prison from the owner.
These chapter contain a lot of unknown words, so I couldn't read quickly.
I mourned her unhappiness that she was bitten by poisonous snake during escaping.
My reading speed is so slow. Next week, I'm gonna try to spend more time to read.

I'm fascinated by the idea that Harriet's family tries to persuade her not to escape. I would like to believe that our families would support our quest for freedom and dignity, but in reality it is often our families and close friends who prevent us from achieving our dreams, because they know that what we plan is dangerous.
