Witch Of Blackbird Pond Analysis

Witch of Blackbird Pond As i boarded the longboat i couldn't help but notice the young lady with the brightly colored clothes.I could tell immediately she was not from here, and i did not like her the minute I laid my eyes upon her.There was also a tall angular looking man who boarded with us. Nathaniel came running down the dock and untied the boat and we departed. When we were well on our way my daughter was a fool and leaned over the railing dropping her doll into the water. I yanked her back into the boat and scolded her. "After the work he went to. All that fuss for a toy, and then the minute you get one you throw it away!".Then the most Bizarre thing happened the woman in the bright clothes yelled at the captain to go back for the doll,
but he ignored her then the woman leapt into the water and was swimming to retrieve the doll. "shame on you!" i said. When she immerged i was furious. “You must be daft” i hissed “to jump in and ruin those clothes”. The girl responded "Bother the clothes! They'll dry. Besides, I have plenty of others." This made me even more furious almost to the point of shock. This woman had the audacity to make a comment like that. Luckily Nat snapped on her and said
"Then you might have a thought for somebody else!" snapped Nat, slapping the water out of his dripping breeches. "These are the only clothes I have."
After that we confronted her about how she could swim.
Her eyes widened. "Swim?" she echoed scornfully. "Why my grandfather taught me to swim as soon as I could walk."
I sat there wondering what kind of witch she was and how awful this young woman was. I looked over in horror as my daughter was staring at the girl like she was a god. As we were approaching the ship the woman huddled under her fancy red cloak, and i sat just waiting to get away from this witch.
