"A thick slice of bread covered with molasses was usually the sole article of our supper, and we were sometimes ingenious, if not over honest, in our search for food: if we could beg something of the cook it was the easier way; but if not, anything eatable left within our reach was surely confiscated."
This is my favorite sentence from the reading. At first glance, it seems like a sentence someone would normally just read, not analyze. But I took this sentence as a cue to trust the author. Honesty stands out to me the most. There is an admittance presented in a very subtle way. The author is telling us that she is not perfect, but in a way that allows the audience to relate and trust her.
