Post #2: Elijah and Abby dream of becoming fisherman and moving away from Curry Island, but they must help out the family in order to keep their land. Elijah risks his freedom and life to get the money his family desperately needs. If you had to help your family in this situation, what would you do to earn money to help keep your land/home/property?

Post #1: In the book The Glory Field there is a family tree of the Lewis family that goes all the way back to when their ancestor, Muhammad Bilal, was brought to America on a slave ship. It is an interesting part of the story and usually sparks interest about where our ancestors came from. I would like you to talk to your parents about your family's origins (both sides if possible) and post what you learned from your parents.
