3.) What does Lyddie
become very interested in
at the end of the
chapter?

Lyddie became very interested at the story of "Oliver Twist" by Charles Dickens that Betsy read to her.

Explanation:

Katherine Paterson's "Lyddie" revolves around the story of a young girl named Lyddie Worthen who had to endure a lot of hardships to stay alive and save her family and their farm. Set in the mid 19th century, the novel follows Lyddie as she grew from a small scared girl to becoming an independent girl capable of making her own decisions.

Chapter 10 opens with Lyddie's first day in the factory, working herself out. She had not expected it to be that tiring and she at times, found it suffocating. Her feet were swollen and she would rather want to be in a quiet room, eating her meals away from the clutter and noise of the 30 other females working in the factory.

After a hard day, she came to her room where she saw Betsy reading her novel, which was Charles Dickens' "Oliver Twist". When Betsy began to read to her, she (Lyddie) began to think of Oliver Twist as her brother Charlie. This awoke her, giving her a hunger to know more about the story. She felt a familiarity in the story to that of her brother and wondered how the story ends. That was why she was very interested in the story at the end of the chapter.
