- Elizabeth is right, it doesn't matter who you are, as long as you have the mind to what you want to do, don't give up nor let other people get to you.
- The director of Philadelphia's almshouse is chauvinist; just because Elizabeth is a girl, he don't think its the right place for her to go to, to gain the experience to help him.

- Like in chapter 1, Elizabeth and her dad does have a way to convince people.

1overview sentence:
- Well this chapter is about how atfirst the director of Philadelphia's almshouse didn't want her to go to the almshouse, but she had convinced him to give her a chance and when she got there, she started nursing and convincing the sick to eat and drink their medicine, also I learned that she was very patience with the patients, also she has a great admiration; Dr. Nathan Dow Denedict, also Elizabeth is caring and gentle towards the patients, she even knows how to make a doll, even though it was hard for her, atleast she made one friend and after all this is done, a guy who was the most coldest towards her had came and apologize and said that she would one day become a very fine physician.
