I already knew that the slave system was awful, but I really didn’t know how bad it was until I read this book. Even the kind “masters” really did not care about their well being. If they had cared they would have set them free, and offered them an option of working for him if they wanted to, but would not forced them to work for him.

They knew that if they were being whipped they needed to work harder, and faster. The over seer’s thought that if they would beat them it would make the quality of their work increase.

What are your priorities when buying a car? I have many priorities when I will buy a car, and this is the first one.

It must be used, there is no reason to buy a new car when you can buy a perfectly fine car that has been used. It’s like when your buying things at a garage sale, it’s been used and it works fine.

I want my car to be able to last me at least ten years. If I keep it in good shape and take care of it then it should last me that long. If I get into a car wreck and it’s totaled then that is something different, but I think a good car should last you ten years.

I want a car that will be reliable. It can’t do things that will make me unsure that I think I won’t be safe.

The brakes must work very well. I know over time the brakes become not as good, but the brakes must work.

Those are the top things on my list, and now I just want to talk about some of the things that I would like to have.

I would like a blue car, I want a radio, I want a jack where I can plug in my phone and play music from it.
