1) I'm finished! After a long 4 hours I finally finished Thousand Pieces of Gold! I have to admit it was sad. Polly or Lulu died in 1933. She died from a horrible fever. Her last words were "Bury me next to Charlie" Charlie was Polly's lover. He died of blood spitting disease, where you cough up blood until you die. He was the only one that made her feel like a woman. He also did anything to protect her. Polly also did anything to keep Charlie alive even when he didn't want to. I guess her worst fear was losing the people she loved.
