Ada is sorrowful because; she doesn't feel homely being her father just died and now she has to fend for herself which she's totally unprepared for.

She is able to read and write well on her own and has succeed in passing the normal education for women at that time.

Ruby is smart because; she finds free shelter while also not reducing herself to a servant, she only asks that her and Ada be equal and she  will help her just as Ada will  help as well.

As he goes through his journey, he is faced with so many challenges. Although they never end, he tries to see the brighter side of things.

The preacher is sinful because; he was illegitimate and had an affair with a poor woman, to make matters worse he wanted to kill her to cover up his dirty deeds.

From chapter 4, Ada and Ruby are already planning on working on the farm. She makes sure to get Ada's opinion on everything before making a decision.

# data[].attributes.body
Deontre: Ada doesn't want to leave the farm where her father resided. She delays her return to Charleston and takes up the farm in remembrance of her father.

# data[].attributes.body
As he goes throughout his life he ended up going through many tough challenges and is forced have to deal with all these problems and get though life as best as he can. That is why he is running because he is scared of whats going to happen

# data[].attributes.body
Even though a lot of stuff has happened to Inman he still keeps going. For example even though his mind was mentally flushed he still had the strength to keep on moving.
Gracious

# data[].attributes.body
Inman seems like he just wants to have some peace. Inman tries to stay positive and find the silver-lining in his situation but with what has happened to him it had become increasing hard to do but he keeps moving forward to his goal

# data[].attributes.body
The preacher is a hypocrite because he doesn't behave the way we imagine a preacher would. He has an affair, and also tries to kill a women.

So far from what we've read about her, Ruby may not be book smart, but she is very skilled and intelligent in other areas of life like farming. She's clever and knows how to make the best out of what little she has.

# data[].attributes.body
Although he faces a lot of set backs, such as being shot at, it doesn't stop him from trying to get where he wants to go or stop him from doing what he wants.

Inman knew that he was not supposed to leave the hopsital he

# data[].attributes.body
I say the preacher is wicked because of the attempted sin he was about to perform. He is aware of what he was going to do

# data[].attributes.body
Deontre: Ruby doesn't want to be paid a lot and she doesn't want to be treated as a servant. Also She declines living in the house with Ada and decides to live in the hunting cabin,

# data[].attributes.body
Ada while uncmmonly smart for a female of that time she still has things to learn. Taking care of her land and surviving on her own is something that she is struggling with. Although she does get help from Ruby, she doesn't stop trying to learn and better herself

# data[].attributes.body
I believe Inman is fearless because he never backs down from a challenge. He is always ready for a fight and speaks his word. For example, when the preacher had the girl on the horse he was not scared to confront him and make the right decision about the girl.

# data[].attributes.body
Inman is somebody who works hard at what he does. I know this because in the book it describes one of the battles he was in where he never let up and kept shooting until he couldn't even lift his gun anymore

# data[].attributes.body
She is hard to get for Inman. She is very different from the other girls around her. She knows they all want her. She is playing games.

# data[].attributes.body
Ada is passionate about things she loves. By having her character like that she becomes super relateable.-Devyn

# data[].attributes.body
She's way smarter than any man would think she was by just looking at her. She's a very educated woman.

# data[].attributes.body
He tried to kill the woman he had an affair with who was pregnant.

# data[].attributes.body
I say this because everytime she is described, it seems that men are always falling for her. At the church the men were scared to talk to her until Inman had Sally introduce them.

# data[].attributes.body
Ada is open-minded and and is willing to do whatever she has to do to live her life, such as growing her own food.

# data[].attributes.body
She is intelligent, and tends to be polite. She is kind towards people, but does not want to be noticed in a bad way. - Trevor R

# data[].attributes.body
Ada is someone that Ruby can rely on. Before Rudy got there the farm was falling apart. Now since Ruby is there, Ada can rely on her to take over the day to day operations of the farm, and also help her make rash decisions. Also she can rely on Ruby to bring some energy and joy to her life.
-Christian McDonald

really not a nice guy oof

Deonte: The preacher breaks multiple laws. He first commits adultery. This is punishable. He also tries to commit murder by trying to kill his mistress. Ultimately hes worried about his image and the consequences for his mistake.

# data[].attributes.body
The preacher tried to kill the woman that he is impregnated without any remorse. He also cheated on his fiance behind her back. The preacher calls himself a man of God but does nothing to show signs of faith. He wanted to

# data[].attributes.body
Though Inman has gone through a lot, he is persistent and determined to survive and get himself home.

# data[].attributes.body
I say this because she was ready to help Ada from the jump. She came to the farm and listened to Ada and started helping out. Also, she helped Ada learn how to do somethings around the farm.

# data[].attributes.body
She is always going back and thinking about the past and letting it affect her.
Gracious

# data[].attributes.body
I say this because he was trying to kill his pregnant girlfriend. I believe it said he gave her some powders to put her to sleep. He does not act like a preacher at all. First, he got a woman pregnant that he is not married to. Then he drugged her and tried to kill her. These are all things that are seen as sins in the church.

# data[].attributes.body
Ruby is very educated and caring. She's helping Ada with the farm and she's educated in working on the farm.
-Amya Hall

# data[].attributes.body
Ruby is resourceful, know how to use the resources. Very smart in my opinion. Doesn't trust the economy, relies on trading.

# data[].attributes.body
Ruby is intelligent and kind of a person people would look up to.

# data[].attributes.body
He tried to kill a pregnant women. That's enough said.

Ruby starts setting the farm to right, and teaches Ada how to work. Also she helps Ada get rid of the rooster that is bothering her

From the start even though her father didn't provide for her she took care of herself and didn't let it affect her to the point where she couldn't function.

Ada is gloomy because of the passing of her father. She loved her father very dearly, and after his death she fell into a depression. Her live changed drastically. Luckily, Ruby is around now and changing things for the better.
-Christian McDonald

# data[].attributes.body
Ada is feeling sorry being that she's not educated enough to work on her fathers farm. But, with the help of Ruby she feels saved but not comfortable being that its not her father.
-Amya Hall

# data[].attributes.body
He is stupid, he doesn't own up for his own actions and he would rather put somebody else's life in danger to save his.

# data[].attributes.body
Seeing things from her point of view, is interesting because she sees things in a different light. She's a deep thinker when it comes to herself emotionally and the world around her strategically.

# data[].attributes.body
The way Inman goes to thinking of home, he is determined, attached and unwavered. It seems as if nothing will change his mind on making it home to Ada.

Inman is determined because he left the hospital knowing that he isnt mentally okay and that his injuries are healed enough.
-Amya Hall

He

# data[].attributes.body
He is hypocritical because he doesn't live by the morals of his own religion.

# data[].attributes.body
Ada portrays herself

# data[].attributes.body
Ruby comes into the story hearing that Ada needs some help. She is black, illiterate, poor, but she is very loyal. She distrusts money cause she never had very much. When she was growing up she had to learn how to survive on her own. From hunting to gathering and from growing to farming. she trust the trading goods for goods instead of using money.

# data[].attributes.body
The Preacher seems like a dishonest and disloyal man. Not only did he commit adultery but he cheat on his fiance. The preacher was ready to kill the young pregnant woman to hide his secret but because of Inman he goes back to the village where he gets tied up and gagged. Not only that but Inman writes a note of what he knows the preacher to have done even the attempt of murder.
