In the book "Life of a Slave Girl" by Harriet Jacobs, there’s a part called Northward Bound. This chapter is really important because it shows how brave the main character, Linda, is. She decides to run away to the North to escape her terrible life as a slave.
One trait that Linda has is her courage. Even though she is very scared about leaving everything she knows, she doesn't let her fear stop her. She thinks about her children and how she wants them to be free, and that gives her the strength to keep going. Linda has to be really smart and careful because there are many dangers along the way.
Linda's courage helps her believe that she can find a better life, and her story teaches us that being brave can help us face big challenges. Even when things are hard, she keeps pushing forward for her freedom and for her family. That makes her a really strong character in the book!
