Why Does Isabel Deserve Respect
I think Isabel deserves respect because she has many virtues good in a person. One of those is that she does the right thing.For example,when she finds the list of all the Loyalists who plan to kill George Washington, she turns it in to the patriots, even though her master would be furious if he found out.I think I would be scared to do it.Another virtue of hers is bravery.She keeps a fair head even with a new master and mistress and calms Ruth.I think that she is probably scared but tries to hide it so Ruth does not worry. Which brings us to the next reason, which is that she loves Ruth so much.When Ruth has a seizure, she stands up for her so she does not get sold.I think if my brother Arlo had a seizure then, I would stand up for him, but
