To the F to the R to the double EE to the D to the O to the M
Linda Brent obtained her freedom by Mrs. Bruce. Emily flint got married and went to New York in search of Linda. The Flint's were broke so they really needed to capture Linda for her high value. When Linda heard Emily Flint was in New York she ran away to one of the Bruce's friends. Mrs. Bruce finally went to the Flints and asked to buy Linda so that she could set her free. The Flint's didn't agree at first, but the Mrs. Bruce assured them that as long as they kept serching for Linda the more she would continute to hide and they would protect her. So the Flint's finally agreed to take the money that Mrs. Bruce offered them for Linda, and then Mrs. Bruce gave Linda her freedom. Linda has mixed feeling about her freedom at the end of the book because in one aspect she is grateful that she is no longer owned, but she is also upset because she hates the fact that her life had been boughten when her life was never actually anyone's else's to take or belong to.

First off, love the creativeness in your title B.Will. Second, I think this is a great post about how Linda finally obtained freedom through Mrs. Bruce. I think Linda also had mixed feelings about her freedom at the end of the book because she had to go through a system just to be free, when in fact she was in a free state. And also, as you pointed out she's frustrated with the fact that her life, that was never really anyone's to take even with being a slave, had been broughten.
Great post and keep up girl!
