Daughter Response up to pg.35

After reading the first 35 pages of The Poisonwood Bible, we were to respond to it by predicting what we supposed would happen throughout the rest of the book as far as the position and development of character in the four Price daughters.
Leah seems to be a very neutral character in the book with a subtle personality and an apparently gifted mind. She seems somewhat of a kiss-up and perhaps she is a
favorite of her father. I think that throughout the rest of the book
she will be a very steady and supportive character towards her father.
Ruth May is the baby of the family and so I think that she will always be treated as such. She may despise it, but at times it is probably what saves her from being exposed overly difficult situations that she might not be able to handle. Her childish ignorance is amusing and will probably slip further and further away throughout the book.
Rachel seems just as ignorant as her youngest sister Ruth May. She does
not seem to care much about anything besides herself, though I think we
will see that there is more to her than her appearance.
Adah, to me is one of the most interesting characters and I expect she will
remain so. I like the way that she narrates the book and the
perspective with which she sees things. She as all of the other daughters
has an unsettlingly strong faith in God and all that comes with him. I look forward to seeing all four daughters develop throughout the book.
