QUESTION1:Which character would you like to be like? In what way? Why?
I personaly think that I would hate to be any other characters. But if I had to choose
it would probably be Sofia. She is the character that strongly and proudly stands up for herself. She stood up and fought back when her husband thought he had the right to hit her when she did a mistake. She is also not afraid to be herself. In the book when a white lady asked her to be her maid she said she is not a slave to be doing that. She ended up in jail for disrespecting them. My point is that she is one of the characters I have lots of respect for and if I had to choose to be someone it would be her. Simply because she has a strong personality and stands up for herself.

QUESTION2:What do you think about a particular character's actions? Was he/she right or wrong to do that?
The most imppresive action that one of the characters took in this part of the book was Sofia disrespecting the mayor. She knocked the mayor down after he responded by hitting her. So she went to jail. I think that maybe it was not respectful, but after the mayor hit her I think Sofia had the right to hit him back.Even though I feel she could of done something else, but for right now I think that was the best way to let him know that he has no right to hit her.
