- For pity's sake, Amelia. Where did you ever hear such pompous nonsense?
- When a bear walks into Lyddie's cabin, Lyddie calmly defends her family. ". . . Lyddie looked up from the pot of oatmeal she was stirring over the fire, and there in the door was a massive black head. . . 'Don't nobody yell, ' she said softly. . . She heard her mother whimper. 'Shhh,' she continued, her voice absolutely even(Paterson 1). During the circumstances, Lyddie was calm and protected her family during this conflict.
- After meeting Ezekial, Lyddie is constantly fighting the fact that she is no more than a slave. ". . . 'I ain't a slave,' she said. ' I just- I just-' Just what? 'There was the debt my father left, so...' Whatever she said only made it seem worse"(Paterson 41). When Ezekial compares Lyddie to a slave, she instantly rejects it. To explain how she was not a slave, she started coming up with excuses. But, those excuses made it even more clear, she was no more than a slave.
- "When Amelia tries to get Lyddie and Betsy to walk with her, she starts insulting novels by calling the devil's instrument. " Amelia came closer. 'You've been reading that same book for months .' She reached over and took Oliver Twist out of Lyddie's hands. . . 'Oh come,' she said. You've already read this book. I've seen you, and besides, it's only a silly novel-not fit for reading, and a sin on the Sabbath-' Lyddie could feel the gorge rising in her throat"(Paterson 90). Amelia's strong belief in the Sabbath conflicts with Lyddie's desire to read. They begin arguing about whether the Sabbath or reading novels is better.
