Harriet Jacobs; Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl

I need each one of these questions answered based on chapters 31 through40 in the book Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl. 

Answer each question thoroughly and in full sentences. Provide examples from the text to support your answers. Each question should have a page number cited (for these assignments, any way you choose to cite the page numbers is acceptable). Your answers should be 300 to 400 words total (that means all of your answers together should add up to 300 to 400 words for the whole assignment and you don’t need to write 300 to 400 per question). 

Questions: 

 1) What is Ellen’s condition when Linda finds her daughter? 

 2) From Linda’s perspective, how did the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 affect the black communities in New York City?
