Answer:

She was a free young woman.

Explanation:

Harriet Jacob's "Incidents In The Life Of A Slave Girl" is a memoir that provides a narrative in the life of a slave woman. The book delves into the system of slavery, and how Linda( protagonist and a pseudonym for Harriet) had to endure hardships and obstacles to be united with her family amidst her fight for personal freedom and family life.

Mrs. Hobbs is the cousin of Mr. Sands, the father of Linda's children. In chapter XXVII, Mrs. Hobb's letter to Linda's grandmother revealed that Linda's daughter Ellen was <em>"given"</em> to her, to be <em>"[her] little waiting maid"</em>. She went on further to state the condition of Ellen's 'presence' in the Hobbs' house, revealing:<em> "I shall send her to school, and I hope someday she will write to you herself."</em>

This shows that Ellen was 'given' to Mrs. Hobbs but that doesn't mean she is a slave and Mrs. Hobbs liked to believe that she is rather a free young woman while still under them.

Moses was chosen to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. Write a paragraph to explain the qualities you think Moses possessed to un
oksian1 [2.3K]

The most important qualities that we can find in Moses are perseverance and wisdom. Over the facts we know of his life through the Bible, we can see that even being a baby, when he was left to his fate in the River Nile, his little body had to persevere beyond the inclemency of weather and hunger. Beeing a young man, he was a good son and a beloved brother within his egyptian family. Later, when he discover his Jewish origins he takes responsibility over the suffering of his own family and his people, and <em>beyond his own privileges and comforts</em> as an egiptian prince, he accepts to carry on with the demands that lay over him. Along times and events, he always persuits <em>wisdom and justice</em> and finds the way to live according to his principles and believings.
