Vocab Ch 1-4 Day of Tears

In these chapters, I noticed that the characters obviously use a very different dialect. Here are some examples of how different language was back during this time.

-"Say" instead of "said"

-"What" instead of "that" (which was one I have never heard before.) ("The one what bought my sister didn't even let her say good-bye to me.")

-"Was" instead of "were"

-"Think" instead of "thinks"

-"Knowed" instead of "knew"

-"Good Book" is referred to as the Bible

A strange phrase I noticed was "The rain comes down like fiery sorrow." I have never heard this phrase before.
