North

While the north was much better than her situation she was in in the south, it wasn't entirely as she expected it to be. Firstly, she in a way expected that the second she reached the north, that she might have a feeling of freedom within her and this was not the case. Even when she was in this free state, she still worried about her freedoms being taken away from her and still confined to some of the habits she had grown up with as a slave, such as the fire bells. She also always found herself not telling the complete truth or leaving out parts of her story because she didn't want people to figure out that some of the things she had been doing in the past had been lies, like writing to Dr. Flint from the north. The one time she did completely come out and share her story, she was told to be more careful about who she talked to like that,because they might think differently of her. This was scorching her freedom a little.
Another thing that was not what she expected to be like in the north, was her trip on the train. In the south she could ride in the boxcars behind all of the white people for free. When she got to the north, she couldn't buy a good seat, and now had to pay to sit in a car full of smoke and dirtiness, a car a slave could ride in for free. This was not what she was expecting and was very surprising to her.
