It's amazing that someone can live this long.
And that she learned to read when she was so old. And that she was alive during slavery and then stayed alive almost until now.
It was really inspiring to read about her. People would like this who like realistic fiction even though this is actually not realistic fiction it's actually nonfiction. But it's a story more like fiction to me.
