Journey Toward Freedom fifth journal entry

pg 200-253
Five things I understand
1. Truth was able to meet Abraham Lincoln.
2. Went to the Freedman’s Village to help the women that were there learn house keeping.
3. Abraham Lincoln had died.
4. Truth had s lot of trouble in order to get on a bus because of her color.
5. She died on November 26, 1883.
Four questions I Have
1. Was Abraham Lincoln actually racist?
2. What happened to Truth’s daughters?
3. How many people did Truth help?
4. Did she know what she was going to say in her speeches beforehand?
Three Vocabularies
1. Clerical pg 204: A member of the clergy
2. Peevishly pg 215: Something about which one frequently complains; a particular personal vexation
3. Ramschakle pg 219: So poorly constructed or kept up that disintegration is likely; rickety: a ramshackle cabin in the woods
Two literally elements
1. “Smallpox spread like a brushfire” pg 201- Simile.
2. The falling action would be the President freeing the slaves.
One sentence Summary
1. Truth was able to open the eyes of many people that need help in order to see what was in front of them.
