1overview sentence:
-This chapter is about how Elizabeth's career is about to start, and what / how she has to do and with the help of her brothers, its making it less diffucult even though her dad had passed away but her brothers are still there for her, also Mr. James H. Perkins was even encouraging her to become a physician, just like her dad they are egalitarian, she became lonley too when her dad had passed away and it was hard for her, however her job is giving her a challenge which she enjoys so that should occupy her for a while.
