Why do you think Kit was disappointed with her first view of America?

I was trying to imagine how it might have been to grow up around the beautiful blue sea and colorful landscape, and then have your 'new life' begin in a place that seemed so bleak and dull. The homes looked much like boxes sitting beside one another. I bet Kit was sad having to leave her old memories of her grandfather behind and get to know the relatives that have always been distant.

From Brandon|
I think that she was scared since she was dressed differently than other people.

Ingrid said...

I think because how she was dressed, like brandon said, but also because she probably expected something besides the box houses and what was also there.

Brooke said...

I think what Ingrid and Brandon said. I have two questions which is why do they want a cousin so badly? Also why doesn't her uncle or whoever (I forgot who) want Kit to give the girl her dress?

Dear Mrs.Darnell,

Unknown said...

She was not eager to greet the new colony becase she her clothes were different.

Brooke said...

I would feel bad if someone told me that I was to stupid to go to school so, I wonder if the little girl felt bad when the woman told her she was to stupid for school.

I wonder how hard it is for Kit to make new friends in such a different place? How in the world did she get used to so many new things?

Ingrid said...

I wonder why this book is called The witch of blackbird pond? What witch? It is Kit when everyone was suprised to see her swimming and reading?

Ingrid said...

I wonder if kit would rather go home? Is she having more fun with her new friends than her old life back in Barbados?

Nica said...

Kit had expected to see a nice neat town and it was less than she expected. She did not have the same clothes as the others and she felt out of place and different.
