He Fell of of a horse
In the book "Elijah of Buxton," Mrs. Holton gives Mr. Leroy $20 to take care of Elijah on their journey to the United States.
Elijah was relieved because going with Mr. Leroy to Michigan meant that he would have the chance to escape the threatening situation in Buxton and potentially find his family who had been taken away from the settlement. It also offered him the opportunity to see the world beyond Buxton and experience new adventures.
Elijah returns to Buxton and saves baby hope but Mr. Leroy dies of a heart attack. Elijah becomes the railroad conductor.
There is: -Elijah Freeman -Ma -Pa -Cooter -Mrs. Holton and her daughters(Penelope and Cicley) -Mr. Leroy -Preacher -Mr. Highgate -Emma Collins -Mr. Travis -Mrs. Chloe -Hope Sorry these are all the characters that come to mind right now!
"Elijah of Buxton" is set in the town of Buxton, Canada in the mid-19th century. The town was a settlement established by runaway American slaves, known as "the Refugee Home" where Elijah, the protagonist, lives and navigates his adventures.
Mr. Highgate died in the book "Elijah of Buxton" by Christopher Paul Curtis after being bitten by a venomous snake while exploring the woods. His death served as a significant moment in the book, highlighting the dangers faced by the characters in their everyday lives.
In the book Elijah of Buxton, on page 96 it says "Then I said 'em, I said those words that made it so the lesson 'bout familiarity and contemp'll be fixed in my mind for's long as I live, even if that's to fifty. I said, 'And me and all 'em other little nigg-'" Then as you know, Mr.Leroy backhands Elijah. He blackouts for a moment too. I think we all know what word Eli was going to say after Mr.Leroy's lecture. I hope this answer helps! I'm in 6th grade and because I'm reading this for school I am going to draw a picture of this!
In "Elijah of Buxton," one example of foreshadowing is when Elijah overhears a conversation between the Preacher and his father about an escaped slave. This foreshadows the later events when Elijah encounters the escaped slave, sparking his journey towards understanding the harsh realities of slavery.
