Golden Necklace
She gets upset that her child is given a golden necklace because the necklace is made of linked chains. She doesn’t want any of children to ever be in chains, even if it’s just a necklace. When she sees this happening she thinks it’s the same as sealing her child’s fate into slavery. Linda is so devoted to making sure her children don’t ever have to experience slavery that she doesn’t even want them to have a necklace that resembles chains. I think that her comparison is valid. She knows the evils of slavery and is therefore frightened to see something that resembles chains to be on her children. Linda is paranoid about her children’s future. It’s like when someone is trying to forget a person that meant something to them and everything they see or hear reminds them of that person. This is why when she sees this golden necklace around her child’s neck she immediately sees this has sealing her daughter’s fate into slavery.

Good response Thomas. I agree with you and I believe that she made the right decision by not accepting the golden chains. You should of talked about the person who gave the chains because she didn't accept them even though they were a present from her old master.
