The North

The North is a huge letdown for Linda. Especially on the train ride she is shocked to find a case where she wishes she could have had the conditions that a slave was given. The slaves were allowed to ride for free behind the white people but when she gets to the north she has to pay for her ticket which she ca not afford. Another thing that was upsetting about the North was that she did not immediately feel free and she did not find her daughter Ellen in the situation that she was promised. She is still waiting on Benjamin to be freed from the South and overall finds the North to fall far short of her expectations.
