Interesting Passage
For me the most interesting passage is at the top of page 89. The passage is first talking about prices for slaves, which for me is still shocking. It is just weird for me to think about quantifying a human life. The most interesting part of the passage for me however is ", the doctor would have sold any boy of Benny's age for two hundred dollars; but he could not bear to give up the power of revenge." I think that is interesting because it puts together two qualifying factors, the life of a slave and revenge for the doctor, and shows how Dr. Flint clearly values his own dealings more than the life of a slave and in some cases even money.
