Section 3: Pages 62-66

​Here, the reader gives an emotional reaction. It says, "I cannot believe that the enslaved people’s former owners have changed, yet Spanish forces are trying to keep slavery in Cuba." This shows that the reader is frustrated with the situation the Cubans are facing.

​Rosa says that many of their patients go back out to fight after she heals them. That must mean they are determined to fight for their freedom.

​Here, the reader underlines repeated phrases and notes an important topic: fact versus fiction.

At the beginning of the book, Rosa said that people think she is a witch even though she is just a girl who has learned about medicine. This is the same problem she talks about here.

She says that she is a nurse and a woman, not a sorceress, magician, nor witch. The people at her hospitals know she is a trained healer, but people on the outside, like the Spanish soldiers and spies still think there is something suspicious, magical, or dangerous about her.

Multiple Choice
