Part 1
1. The Good Lord Bird represents understanding, as stated in the book "a feather from a Good Lord Bird'll bring you understanding that'll last your whole life"(McBride, page 33). I suppose it connects to the title of the book because this whole book is about making people understand that slavery is wrong, which is why John Brown is trying to abolish it.
2. Henry's new nickname is "Little Onion." Henry earned this named after he took a bite out of the "dried, dusty, covered with feathers, cobwebs lint, and other junk"(McBride, page 23) onion that The Old Man gave him to hold because he thought The Old Man wanted him to eat it.
3. Henry's rationale for living a lie is because he's scared. Henry just saw is father get killed right in front of him and now a white male is kidnapping him, he doesn't know what's going to happen to him. Slave life is also a bit easier for girls, so Henry is also hoping on that to live easy. It is completely justifiable because he defending his life. Henry is trying make it out as safe as possible.
