Beloved blog post #6
"She was crawling already when I got here. One week, less, and the baby who was sitting up and turning over when I put her on the wagon was crawling already. Devil of a time keeping her off the stairs.
Baby's have to learn how to crawl before they can walk having the stability of parents is very important knowing they'll be there to catch them before they fall. Roll over all the motor skills they learn before they can walk even talking a little. Hand movements eye movements sometimes getting lost in strange places being around dangerous things that can harm them. Parents responsible for making there children feel safe making them feel happy and enjoy life while they are still babies. At the same time keeping the baby away from darkness. Darkness of evil sadness depression just being a happy and healthy baby.
Almost in my opinion while the baby is still a baby keeping them from going over into the dark side like there's a door nearby where a baby is crawling and its filled with fog coming out of it somehow in the baby's head they know that's where evil lurks and knowing not to go near that door. Hearing the voice of god in the baby's head telling them and guiding to just keep crawling and rolling over progressing into a toddler to finally start walking stay away from evil which of course is the devil.

Beloved Blog Post #5
Her father's daughter after all, Denver decided to do the necessary. Decided to stop relying on kindness to leave something on the stump. She would hire herself out somewhere, and although she was afraid to leave Sethe and Beloved alone all day not knowing what calamity either one of them would create, she came to realize that her presence in that house had no influence on what either woman did. She kept them alive and they ignored her.
Feeling not wanted by your own family is a cruel hurt to the heart. It's kind of like being in a room full of people talking away trying to make conversation and nobody's listening. Living in a fantasy world trying to understand if you'll get anyone to ever appreciate you as a person. Kind of like having the heart of a guardian angel guiding, leading, trusting, advising, providing knowledge, courage, proudness, dedication, hope not even a thank you. So it's time for that person to move on leave find what makes them happy. Developing tougher skin and not just letting the world walk all over you like a door mat even in families trying to stay and help for the longest time and not ever getting a thank you weather it's with parents or siblings even both.
There's really no solid answer for why people behave this way no appreciation no thank you show no gratefulness just shellfish. Maybe that's the way some people were raised to show no appreciation they live their lives seeing other people doing and think it's ok for them to do it. Taking care of someone in a caring and loving way is a lot of responsibility then finding out your presence in the home was useless seemed like nothing but a waste of that persons time.

"Here," she said, "in this here place, we flesh; flesh that weeps, laughs; flesh that dances on bare feet in grass. Love it. Love is hard. Yonder they do not love your flesh. They despite it. They don't love your eyes; they'd just as soon pick em out. No more then they love the skin on your back. Yonder they flay it. And O my people they do not love your hands. Those they only use, tie, bind, chop off and leave empty. Love your hands! Love them. Raise them up and kiss them. Touch others with them, pat them together, stroke them on your face ' cause they don't love that either.
Being true to yourself and proud of the person you are is very important loving how you look and carry yourself. Yonder to me meaning slave masters will try to tear you down in everything you do whip beat and kill for not obeying them. Wishing probably you were in a different world different planet in a world where everyone is kind, respectful, treats you like an equal not a slave. Love every bone in your body and take pride in everything you do in life. Even though you might have scars on your back that shouldn't stop people from living there lives as proud as can be even though the scars make them ashamed.
Very deep and intense know one wants to be reminded of the past if they've lived a dangerous and brutal one it's like driving on a rough road for a long period of time not knowing when it's going to become smooth again, or walking on hard rocks or broken sharp glass to painful to even speak. To be put in an in closed space by yourself no one to talk to feeling the space get smaller finding it hard to breath and began to suffocate. The only thing that can be on a persons mind is trying to figure out a way to get out without dying and losing grip on reality. Always remembering there hands they still have is the main key to help them.

Beloved Blog Post #3
For days she slept, waking and sitting up only for water. Denver tended her watched her sound sleep, listened to her labored breathing and, out of love and a breakneck possessiveness that charged her, hid like a personal blemish Beloved's incontinence.
Like a baby sleeping not wanting to eat just being thirsty for fluids. A mother watching her child happy to be a mother but wondering what's the problem with her eating habits. The overwhelming of sitting being overprotective of a child perhaps being in a dark room just starring at the baby wondering what's going on inside their head. Dreaming of what life would be like for the child as they got older the good times the bad times the happy times the sad times. all of this while still watching the child sleep. Listening to the child's heartbeat wondering what a baby might be thinking themselves even though there so young.
Barricading in the room maybe wanting to know all the baby's secrets and fears if any wishing maybe that the child could speak letting the mom know what there thinking how they feel about there family what they would like to accomplish in life the careers they want to have it's almost like an addiction the mother can't stay away from her child to attached to think about anything else or do anything else. In a quiet room just mom and child sharing a bond together as if no one else matters but them the world is in both of their hands.

Analysis For Beloved
My interpretation of the last two pages of the book Beloved is how Beloved repeats herself by saying
This is not a story to pass on". The saying "It is not a story to pass on". While reading the book and it being so intense and complicated to understand she recommends no one else reads it because it's so brutal even with the other quote meaning the same thing. Sixty million and more refers to slavery back in 1873 Sethe the mother didn't want her child to be sold as slaves so she kills them. Sethe felt like she was doing the right thing when she killed her children to protect them.
Other issues for slavery included another quote from the book "Inevitably these thoughts led me to the different history of black women in this country-a history in which marriage was discouraged, impossible, or illegal; in which birthing children was required, but "having" them, being responsible for them being in other words, their parent was as out of the question as freedom".(Foreword) Having to protect Sethe refuse to take care of her children but not in a bad way just to keep them from being sold. To some people this quote might sound like the parent doesn't want to be bothered with the child they birthed because the love is not there but in reality back in the 16th century I feel like there doing the right thing.
In the 16th century when slavery still existed there were other mothers that tried to kill their children one mother escaped slavery but later was arrested for killing one of her children and trying to kill the rest. There's something else in the book called the terrain slavery a tract of land especially as considered with reference to its natural features military advantages. Not quite sure what that all means.
Beloved doesn't like being alone the thought of it makes her sick rocking back and forth with her hands folded on the ground feeling neglected and unwanted there's a quote from the book "counting on the stillness of her soul, she had forgotten the other one: the soul of her baby girl. Who would have thought that a little old baby could harbor so much rage?'(pg.5) To me the rage from baby suggs is since her spirit came back it's build with anger and frustration of being killed by her mother Sethe no one would know her name or remember who she was.
Beloved has such a hard time because she feels like Denver the other daughter gets more attention then she does it's kind of like a bad dream to her only the dream is real. The distant is a problem for Beloved eventually it's like Beloved never existed even down stream of I24 where Denver goes all the time. I think Beloveds family in the end decided not to remember her or her spirit because there was alot of drama that went on in that house the killing of Beloved by her mother for not wanting her to be sold the brutal deaths on the way they were killed.
This is not a story to pass on.
