The Pox Party, Book the Second

Octavian was sent to a college and well, by doing that he was snatched away. What Cassopeia and 03-01 are worrying about is Octavian's education and such so he is snatched as mentioned before so he goes around studying a lot, different tutors everyday. Octavian thinks that the college life was amazing but ge always thought that it got a little weird on the other hand, one example is that he realizes that Octavian's mother (Cassiopeia) and him are slaves though to the fact that he has a lot of freedom around the house.

Later on, Lord Cheldthorpe (a royal man from London) wants Cassiopeia to go with him back to London for some reason, and then Cassiopeia remembers that marrying to a royal man would befits her royal line and so she regrets the offer.

At this point of the book, it's mentioned that Octavian is an african-american.

Things are starting to get boring in Octavian's college under the teachings of Mr. Sharpe. The reason is that he is being educated in the most absolute way possible, meaning that everything is taught to him at the same time so its not only boring for him but hard, so Cassiopeia and Octavian rather become servants to the house, so he gets to work with his friend, Bono who tells him what slaves really are. This is all happening inthe house and the college where the colonies are arming up for a war against the Britain Army. This happens because at the time there was a lot of violence because of taxation of brit goods. College events mix when the Brits have taken over Boston at the time, so Mr. Gitney (03-01) recurrs to his brother, Bono gets traded and Octavian's life is starting to get even worse. When all the family and house members get to Canann, Massachusetts, Mr. Sharpe and Gitney for some odd reason decide to make a Pox Party. In the Pox Party, the guests are funders and their families to get inoculated agaisnt smallpox because its has been spreading. 

The Party turns out to be really weird because some guests even consulted yo get vaccined with smallpox! As a consecuence slaves are getting weaker though to the pox spreading around and nobody recovers from it, in fact 2 men and Cassiopeia end up gravely affected. And then, Cassiopeia sadly dies from the infection. Octavian is affected gravely both emotinally and sick-wise but he is able to recover quickly.

Near the end of this Book (Book2/4) Sharpe and Gitney dissect Cassopeia... And poor Octavian has to witness her mother being dissected
