Linda's escape towards freedom

Linda is planning her escape towards freedom a.k.a. the North. She takes a boat and a train to go north. On the boat she is worried because the captain is white. She found it hard to trust him because her masters had been white. As time progresses she realizes that he cares for her because he is trying to help her. When Linda was in Philadelphia she couldn’t buy a ticket for 1st class, as she wanted. Instead she had to sit in the 3rd class. This shows her that there is still problems and discrimination that arise in the north. She finds a job, and she got to see her children free in the north.
