Lucy is smart because she reads a lot of books, she remembers all the books and won a school spelling bee which she said on p.12 "the one book I owned was Ivanhoe, won it during a school spelling bee. I'd gotten mighty tired of it during the months of travel, but the only other thing around to read was a broadside posted on the general store about titter worm in horses. Fortunately Massachusetts had been bursting with books, and all those I had ever read were still there in my head. So one good day, good and sick of Ivanhoe, i leaned back the taut canvas of the tent, closed my eyes, and found a way to
Leave the lucky diggings.

2) the disease that Papa and Golden die from called "pneumonia" is a lungs disease.
3) "dag diggety" is a saying that they use in the diggings, and it's kind of a curse, and isn't that polite.
4) "cobweb"can help keep wounds clean and prevent infection.

Lizzie is curious because she finds a lot of places. For example: "Lizzie said, "Here." "Here" was a meadow in a clearing surrounded by trees. The meadow was filled with wildflowers, white, yellow, gold, orange, striped, dotted, small, large, and in between." p.109. This shows that Lizzie is curious because she showed Lucy the field, and she only could've showed Lucy the field if she had found it, and she only could have found it if she was looking around, and she only would have looked around if she was curious, 'cause if she wasn't curious she wouldn't have looked at all. There for Lizzie is curious.

Lucy is caring because in the book Lucy wants to go back to Massachusetts but she can't and trough out the book she show caring, kindness and the value of love, not only that but the author made Lucys character traits so moving that when Butte dies I nearly cry as the way Lucy reacted to it showed true love and loyalty to him. Lucy has a heart and in time she doesn't always to the right thing but always end up doing every body good.
