As I keep reading and reading I'm still not quite understanding everything that's happening. I try and imagine myself back in the 1800's and what it would be like for me if I went through something so dramatic then having one of my children's sprit come back. It would all be a blur for me trying to rebuild my life moving on and then just like that have my whole world turned upside down. I'm still not done reading going along piece by piece gives me a little bit more understanding but not alot yet. I picture myself being in Denver's place knowing what I want being independent wanting to feel wanted but sometimes I feel like I'm just the opposite however I do know what I want in life helping others has always been important to me. This maybe a bad thing to say or maybe not but if I were in Sethe shoes I would be dazed and confused abot why the spirit of my daughter beloved came back and be horrified and tell my husband and daughter Denver not to get to comfortable around her not knowing what should could be capable of. I have to remember that Beloved is still a child and doesn't know alot even though she came back in adult form being in a situation like that me personally felt like if it was me in that situation I would have came back as an adult knowing more about the world who my parents were my sister my two bothers understanding what was going on around me anything that happened to me. Beloved came back as this beautiful young lady with good skin and a beautiful face just like I pictured in my dream. I pictured myself in Sethe's place again the mother who's always had a problem with her bladder since she was a little girl if that was me I would be able to control it maybe Sethe has a bladder infection I thought to myself. Maybe the older she gets it's gotten worse.

As I've been reading through this book in my opinion it's alot to take in and grasp. Sethe the mother had four chidren Denver, baby Suggs, Howard, and Buglar. Baby Suggs was killed by her mother because she didn't want her to be sold and become a slave eventually baby Suggs came back from the dead in adult form and began to haunt her family the youngest daughter Denver took a liking to her and helped her how to walk feed her bathe her and looked after her. This is the kind of book that you have to keep reading more than once to really understand it. They all lived in a gray and white house in Cincinnati in the 1800's I felt like Sethe the mother did what she had to do in order to keep her baby from being sold but, I also ask myself was that really showing protection from a mother towards her daughter? In a way back then that was the way I think former slaves did things to keep their children from becoming slaves themselves. Sethe's husband paul D. also experienced the sprit of baby Suggs it was almost like baby Suggs wanted to let her family know that she wasn't ready to go yet that her sprit would always be alive no matter what. Denver was mad at first for baby Suggs dying she bacame depressed and lonely until she found out her spirit had came back if I was in that situation I would be scared to death and not know what to do but stay away from my family. Sethe's two boys Howard and Buglar had run away from home they couldn't stand the fact that baby Suggs was dead and they couldn't stand living in the little house. As I keep reading this book it gets more and more intense and powerful making it intriging for me to have more to talk about.
