Chapter 17: The Flight

Chapter 17:
The Flight






Summary: This chapter was about Linda’s escape from slavery. She left her master’s house late at night, visited her children and then went to the house of a friend who planned to hide her. At the end of the chapter an ad was posted declaring a $300 reward for her capture.

Importance: This was an extremely important episode because it was the climax of Linda’s life. It was also the turning point in her status as a slave.

Connection to Theme: This connects to the theme because it shows the great lengths slaves go to in an effort to escape from slavery. They are abused in more ways than one that they feel no other option than to leave by whatever means.
