My speaking abilities: Chapter 13

I used my friends to help learn how to talk. As they taught their visitor, Safie, i also learned as she learned. I was s o proud of myself because I learned faster and understood more than the "Arabian, who understood very little" (Shelley 85).  While I improved in speech, I also "learned the science of letters " (Shelley 85). I can't wait to introduce myself to them, I'm sure that if i learned to speak and talk like them, they won't rebuke me the way that the villagers did earlier. I'm really looking forward to being a part of their family soon. I also listen to narrations that Felix reads to Safie. These stories inspire me. They make me think and sometimes I compare myself to the men that I hear about. I wondered about laws and punishments and why they were necessary in a world of man. I wondered how one man can kill and the other can give life. I can't wait to learn more from my friends.
