Miss Walker lets people rent her house (she is nice).
- Dr.Elder gave even more confident, hope and encouragement in Elizabeth.

- Elizabeth is another step closer to become what she wants to be; the first women doctor.
- Elizabeth gives me inspiration in what I want to do.

4questions:

Why didn't the women and men dislike Elizabeth?

1overview sentence:
-
This chapter is mainly about how she had to rent a room to live near her college so that she'll be able to attend the college, however the people who were also renting the house, disliked her, also the college had told her not to come back even though she had paid for her tutition because they claimed that it was uncomfortable to have a female in the same class as every other male, however, I know she isn't going to give up just yet, because she is a very stubborn girl when it comes to doing things that she believes is right.
