ReplyDeleteIf we are writing a story about the slave escaping on the underground railroad, what should we write for the title? Is slave name's escape OK?
ReplyDeleteIf you are doing "If you were unsatisfied with the ending of Elijah write the next next chapter telling how he arrives back in Buxton with Miss Chloe's baby hope." You only have to do ch,26. Am I right? Or you have to right 2 chapters?
