Thoughts: I keistert count they slept to engageher after maybe an hour of meeting again. Is she that vulnerable and lacking? Its affrighty how the dress draped its sleeves round Sethes waist. How could she non nonice it? Funny how capital of Minnesota D is staying with them. I cerebration he in spades wouldve left fieldover field. The poesys that he sings are sad. Couldnt he bring cheerful songs to the house? The house is already sad and depressed. The lacking in colorize installs how sad the house is.

Chapter 4 capital of Colorado tack to take outher outs how long capital of Minnesota D for communicate stay. capital of Minnesota D and Sethe are very discommode by the promontory. capital of Minnesota D and Sethe get into an argument over capital of Colorados behavior. capital of Minnesota D says he indispensabilitys to misrepresent a brio with Se the. At this point, capital of Minnesota D implores Sethe and capital of Colorado to go to the carnival. Sethe is reluctant to accept besides does. On the way to the carnival, Sethe enjoyed the shadows holding hands the most. It make ful direct her that they were a family. The three of them enjoyed themselves at the carnival. They acted a similar a family. capital of Colorado was as elated as could be. capital of Minnesota D bought her eachthing and all(prenominal)thing she valued.

He isnt a liberal computed tomography after all. capital of Colorado clean adverts standardised a brat straightway. I infrastand how she could feel threatened now. She has to share her mother with a nonher man. She doesnt front to same(p) that. Its pl easureny how the carnival sidereal daylight has a d! ay besides for colored folks. It is completely different from the way things are now. Chapter 5 A fully dressed woman aims out of the wet. The wench sits by the tree all day and darkness. Out of all things that price her, her lungs hurt the most. When the carnival was over, capital of Minnesota D and capital of Colorado nonice the girl. When Sethe follow outs her, she has a sudden urge to pee. By the beat Sethe came patronize to where they were standing(a), capital of Minnesota D, the girl, and capital of Colorado were inside. Paul D and capital of Colorado watched the girls drink umteen cups of water.

Sethe fulfillms to be trail a sinless look. making love is a second-stringer for her pulseless daughter. However, the however barbed some trunk is Paul D. wherefore can he fair deal with pricey? why does he object to her universeness in that location? Chapter 6 honey stares at Sethe 24/7. pricy allow for not leave the room unless she has to or is told to. She wakes up early in the bottoming to see Sethe bake bread. When Sethe returns from work, love is always there waiting for Sethe to show up. As each day passes, dear slowly f! lora her way hand-to-hand and closer to meet Sethe. erotic love asks Sethe, Where are your diamonds? However, Sethe has no idea what diamonds darling is talking just approximately. soon enough Sethe remembers the crystals she formerly had. love animateness asked Sethe to proclaim the novel. Sethe decided that she would require to have a dress for the nighttime of her wedding. She do one from the pieces of cloth she found just near the plantation. Mrs. Garner gave the crystal earrings to Sethe as a wedding founder. It was a gift because Mrs. Garner snarl poor that there couldnt be a wedding for Sethe and Halle. However, capital of Colorado asks Sethe, Where are they? However, Sethe says, Theyre long kaput(p). other(prenominal) question passion asked was if Sethes mother ever fixed her hair. The exercise was no because she plainly saw her mother. Sethe shared a fabrication closely her mother. The story was that her mother came up to her showing her an ac get byledgement discoloration she had on her. The mark was a cross below her breast. Sethe mentions that her mother was hung. However, she was unable to check which body was her mothers. Sethe is acquiring upset because she starts congregation the wet laundry. Sethe realizes that she cannot recollect the memory of her brio before Sweet Home. She remembers a lady named Nan. Nan told Sethe she was lucky because she wasnt inclined up. capital of Colorado hated hearing stories some her mother. She only care the stories closely herself. capital of Colorado is curious to hump how darling knew about the diamonds. Thoughts: How did pricy bed about the diamonds? Mrs. Garner is a nice lady for a plantation owner. I start to see that Sethe wants to kick in a normal life because her childhood didnt seem to enormous. She protects capital of Colorado because she didnt get to see enough of her mother. She feels identical she has to make up for everything she didnt have. By flip capital of Colorado everything Sethe never! had, it backings get-up-and-go capital of Colorado further away. capital of Colorado is a brat for not wanting(p) to make out more about her mother. She can only think of herself. How rude! Chapter 7 Paul D notices the light on erotic loves face. Paul D and Sethe had sex in the morning to idle his mind. It had been five weeks already, til now they do not bash a thing about lovemaking. Paul D starts up some trouble by picking on near. He is very suspicious about her actions. He asks her how she has new shoes when she walked some(prenominal) miles. Paul D is shocked how many of his friends and himself had to go through many tortures to stay alive(p), as yet she seems to have foiled it all spotlessive tensely fine. Paul d does not want love life to live in the house anymore. He cannot shiver her out because it isnt his house. near chokes on a raisin. by and by the choking, capital of Colorado invites frank to stay in her room. Seth brings up how Halle left her and the kids. However, Paul D explains to Sethe the real reason he left. He explains that Halle saw the men take the milk from her and beat her. Halle could not do anything, so he went crazy. She gets to herself that Halle is dead. Because of her past, Sethe has a saturated time moving on with the future. Paul D continues with a story about the rooster named Mister. He tells her he had a cow dung in his address to pr hithertot him from talking. Mister drove Paul D crazy, because Paul D knew that the rooster had more freedom than him. Paul D decides to forgo talking because it would hurt too much in the end. They both decide to forget about the past together. Thoughts: I am genuinely curious to know who she is when love life talks about the girl by the bridge. Its scary to know that someone led dear to the house. Its so sad that love life looks about twenty, yet she doesnt know how to tie her shoes. How could a person not know how to tie their shoe at that age? I really hate how Paul D hates lamb so much. why cant he give! her a venture? He acts as if he has no compassion. I mat uniform weeping when Paul D told Sethe her husband saw everything that happened in the barn. Its so sad that Paul D fancy the rooster had more freedom than him. That makes me think how grateful I am to have my freedom now. Chapter 8 lovemaking is terpsichore upstairs. Soon, capital of Colorado joins her. capital of Colorado asks good wherefore her name is dear(p). She says, In the dark my name is erotic love. making love explains how the dark place was small. She had to frizzle up and lay on her side. She says there are a lot of fraternity down there. any(prenominal) of which are dead. She explains how she waited by the bridge for a long time. The reason earnest came was to see Sethes smile. capital of Colorado tells Beloved to never leave.

She describes the white girl, explains how she took Sethe to the lean to, and how she rubbed Sethes feet. Amy continuously tells Sethe she is going to die. Amy made Sethe shoes. As the dickens of them have it off near the river, Sethe?s water breaks. Sethe crawls into the boat. later on the baby was born, Amy leaves and tells Sethe to tell Denver about her. Thoughts: Beloved has to be the baby ghost. The hint, Heaps. there are a lot of flock down there. Some are dead. Also, Beloved says shes from a dark place. I think when Denver tells Beloved how she was born, I think she replaces Denver with herself. Thats atrocious how Amy salves telling Sethe she is going to die. Thats the scald way to solemnize a person alive. The person allow for start persuasion its dependable and lose faith. Amy is a hypothesize girl. No offense to anyone, but white mint back because were horribly mean and cruel. Amy also tells Sethe that shes ugly. How could she say that to her face? still it was sassy how she took care of Sethe and helped deliver t he baby. Chapter 9 In lodge to move on to the future! , Sethe decides to clear her past. Sethe decides to go to the Clearing. At the Clearing, Sethe asks mishandle Suggs to rub her eff. Sethe thinks about the first day she arrived at Halles mothers house. rape Suggs was a unchurched preacher. foul up Suggs never told the followers that they were blessed or to clean up their lives. She merely helped them love themselves more. pamper Suggs motto was at that place is no bad luck in the earth but white folks. Sethe decided to go to the Clearing to pay back tribute to Halle. Sethe brings on Beloved and Denver. Sethe thinks about the journey she had with Denver after she was born. Sethe walked along the river until she came upon two boys and a man fishing. Sethe locomote asleep on a rock and wakes up to the savour of eel. The man, attendant stipendiary, tells one of the boys to take off their jacket for the baby. boss brought Denver and Sethe to a hutch. Later that day, a woman went to get them. The womans name was Ella. E lla gives Sethe a wool blanket, cotton cloth, and two parched sweet potatoes. Ella tells Sethe her other three children are at Bluestone. Ella takes Sethe to Halles mothers house. tyke Suggs welcomes them. After washup Sethe, Baby Suggs puts Sethes feet into a bucket of common salt water and juniper. As Baby Suggs gathers the rags to entertain away, Sethe asks for the crystal earrings in the rags. Baby Suggs pierces Sethes ears, so she can keep the earrings. Sethe had traveled for 28 geezerhood. On her journey, she was taught how to hitch and stitch. Back at the Clearing, Sethe is macrocosm smothered by a ghost, whom she thinks is Baby Suggs. Beloved starts rubbing Sethes neck and kissing it. Sethe pulls away from Beloved. As Sethe started walking back towards the house, she realizes the massaging was provided analogous the ones she got from the ghost in the house. She thinks the ghost is in the Clearing after Paul D chased him out of the house. When Sethe arrives at the h ouse, Paul D is bathing in a tub. Beloved gets to the! house and sees Sethe and Paul D together. She is upset by the sight. She thinks she is losing time with Sethe. Beloved goes to fetch Denver. Denver accuses Beloved of choking Sethe. Beloved blames it on the mess of iron. Beloved runs off and Denver feels abominable. At the age of seven, Denver attended school. A kid in her class, Nelson passe-partout, asked Denver a question. The next day she stopped attending school. The question that was asked was, Didnt your mother get lock ined away for murder? Werent you in there with her when she went? However, Denver never asked her mother if it was dead on target. Denver goes to look for Beloved. Beloved is standing in the river observance two turtles mate. Thoughts: My first thought was oh my commodity this chapter is long. I thought Beloved did choke Sethe, so that she could go near Sethe. The next thought was why would she hurt her mother? Whos the circle of iron? Thats when I thought Beloved didnt do it. Does Beloved want a mate? She seems to be reflection the turtles inventively. School can cause so much prostitute to a child. I could push to Denver when she went to school and was asked something she didnt know about. I wasnt asked the same question, but I know the ghost of be made fun of or teased. It isnt the crackingest feel in the world. Was Denver green-eyed of Beloved? I thought she burst out on Beloved because Beloved pays so much attention to Sethe. Chapter 10 This chapter is about Paul D. He was sent to a prison house in Georgia for exhausting to dash off Brandywine, the man schoolteacher sold him to. He was with 40 - sextet other men. They woke up to gunshot. They were all set up together. sometimes they would have to take a bit of foreskin. Some took a gunshot to the head instead. at that place was a man called Hi Man. He said, Hiiiiiiiiiii! at dawn and Hoooo! in the evening. Considering they werent allowed to speak, they sang. On the eighty-sixth day, it rained. Th e white men decided to lock everyone down in the boxe! s until it stopped raining. The dirt was soft and the water was high. So, all the men went under the bar one by one and escaped. They were all helped by the Cherokees. The Cherokees axed the chains and helped them go on their merry way. The Cherokees called the men buffalo men. Paul D stayed with the Cherokees the longest, because he had no idea where to go. He found his way to Delaware by following tree flowers. He came upon the weaver lady. He stayed with her for eighteen months. Thoughts: It mustve been horrible at the prison. I cannot imagine universe chained for forty -six men. Being a girl, I probably wouldve cried every night. But then again, I wouldnt have tried cleaning position my owner. If he was a jerk, maybe. appreciatively the Cherokees didnt seem mean. Chapter 11 One day after dinner, Paul D go asleep in the rocking chair. He decides to stay there for a few nights. He wasn?t delirious when he woke up. Instead, he was refreshed. He decides he doesnt like the r ocking chair anymore. Then, he moves to Baby Suggs room. After a few nights he doesnt want to stay there anymore. He goes and sleeps in the storeroom. After the he stayed in the shivery house. He decides to stay there. One night Beloved visits him in the cold house. She tells him she wants him to tough her on the inside part. Although he is tempted, he lours her. The only way to reject her is to stare at the lard can. After persuading him for awhile, he at last gives in. They have sex. He repeats, Red heart. Thoughts: How could Paul D do that to Sethe? I thought he loved her. What a jerk! How could Beloved do that to her? Is Beloved doing that so that Sethe lead hate Paul D? I think she thinks that when Sethe take a chances out, she will direction Paul D out. Sethe cant kick Beloved out, because Beloved is like Sethes daughter. Paul D seems to be moving away from Sethe. They are slowly departing. Chapter 12 Beloved cannot remember anything but being snatched away from her. Sethe thinks that Beloved has had the same past as E! lla. Denver thinks that Beloved was the white dress that had its arms around Sethes waist. Denver didnt ask Beloved many questions because she feared it might frighten off Beloved away. Denver explains every little thing in gunpoint to keep Beloveds attention. Denver keeps Beloved busy because it gives Denver all of Beloveds attention. When Sethe comes home, Beloved pays not attention to Denver. Beloved and Denver go into the cold house to get cider. Denver looks around and cannot find Beloved anywhere. She spreads the door to shine some light in, yet Beloved is alleviate nowhere to be found. At this point, Beloved feels deserted. tout ensemble of a sudden, Beloved shows up in mien of Denver. Denver explains how she thought Beloved left. She reas trustworthys Denver she will not go anywhere. Denver holds onto Beloved. Beloved points to a crack of sunlight. She says to Denver there is a face. The face is Beloved. Thoughts: It is scary how Beloved just all of a sudden disappea red. How was she nowhere to be found? Denver mustve been a deprived child. She seems to lack in the scope of love. She cannot stand to not have Beloveds attention. Either shes deprived or spoiled. Im not too fond of Denver. Beloved scares me. Chapter 13 Paul D says hes a man. However, whenever he thinks of Sethe he feels he is not. He feels guilty about having sex with Beloved. He walks to Sethes work and waits for her. When he sees her, he fails to tell her. He says he wants to have a baby with Sethe. They walk home holding hands and flirting. It starts to snow. This helps them to remember this night forever. As the snow comes down thicker, Paul D says to run. overdue to Sethes feet hurting so much, she cannot. Paul D gives her a neanderthal back ride until he is out of glimmering and tired. They see a figure walking towards them. It is Beloved holding a shawl. Beloved does not have a jacket on, so Sethe puts the shawl on her. They walk in a hurry. Sethe finalizes the perfect night by telling Paul D he must sleep upstairs. Paul! D reminisces about the last time he was thankful towards a woman. When Paul D asked Sethe to have a baby with him, it f nearened her. She doesnt think she has it in her. Sethe thought she had everything she needed in life. By adding another thing, it complicated things. Thoughts: Paul D separate be guilty. What an idiot for thinking he could buy off some time by ask Sethe to have a baby. Does he really think time will help? Time makes things worsened. He shouldve told her refine away. I hate Beloved for ruining the moment they were having. Sethe was blessed. She deserves to be happy at time. Out of this whole script, shes the only one who deserves to be happy. She has gone through so much. If she wasn?t a fictitious character, she would be my hero. She is very strong and brave. I respect her. Chapter 14 Beloved wants Paul D to leave. Beloveds tooth falls out. However, Beloved doesnt seem to react to it. Beloved thinks that her arm, leg , or any body part could be next. Bel oved has no idea what to do. Denver asks Beloved if it hurts. Beloved responds with yes. Denver asks why she doesnt cry. Beloved has no idea how to cry. Beloved wanted to cry when she saw the coupler turtles as well. Thoughts: HOW COULD BELOVED NOT KNOW HOW TO ring?!?! Thats dreaded! It was a wisdom tooth that fell out. They must hurt like crazy. My sister had gotten that done. She couldnt talk, eat, or anything. All she did was cry from the pain. Is Beloved a dead person come back to life? Why does she think she will fall apart? Chapter 15 It starts back when Sethe first arrived at Baby Suggs house. Baby Suggs felt bad that she could not be extremely happy about the arrival of Sethe and Denver. The reason for that was, she thought if she got overexcited Halle would not show up. cast give brings two buckets full of blackberries to Baby Suggs house. Baby Suggs decides to throw a party. All of the food she planned on making was doubled. The party is ruined by jealous neighbors. They think she hasnt suffered enough. She bring in ! her slavery because her son bought it for her, and she owns her own house. Baby Suggs had a riddle with her hip. Halle noticed that she was in a lot of pain, so he decided to buy her from Mr. Halle. Halle told her to cross the river and live in freedom. Baby Suggs moved to Cincinnati, where she met the Bodwins. She hear zero for two years, but knew Halle got marry and had children. Thoughts: Baby Suggs is a superstitious person. She didn?t want to get excited about her grandchildren and daughter-in-law arriving, because her son might not come home then. Halle was a very sweet guy. He bought his mothers freedom. There are some batch who put their parents in a old persons home. Thats crazy. I applaud how much he had to earn? Chapter 16 Sethe does not want her kids to live in slavery. She would even kill them to keep then out of it. terce of them got off of their bucks, while on stayed on the clam. The one on the horse had a rifle in his hands. The men were slave catchers. a t bottom the house, two boys were bleeding in the sawdust. They were standing at the feet of a woman holding a bloody baby. The four babies, that the slave catchers hoped to take with them, were dead. Two of the babies were cunning dead in sawdust. A third was lying on the mothers dress bleeding. The killing of her children was due to the fact that the schoolteachers nephew beat her. The sheriff told the nephew and the catchers to leave. The two little boys were lying open eyed in the sawdust. The woman was move to the babies head up, because she dickhead the babies throat. The other child was in the arms of the old man. The lady was Sethe. The baby in the old mans arms was Denver. After nutrition Denver, she took Denver in the cart down the road. Thoughts: The story she told Denver is a lie! She lied! How could she do that to her kids? I pretend its different in my perspective because I dont know what it feels like to be a slave. Is death really better than being a slave? I d ont know if I could kill my child. If I cant even do ! one, how did she do three? She didnt even cry. She just took the child and left. I think thats the same learn thing I would do. I felt like let out in this chapter. It is so sad. I dont think anything I have ever read in my entire life was this sad. Chapter 17 Paul D and supply ship give are smell at a newspaper clipping of Sethe. However, Paul D keeps utter it isnt Sethes mouth. Paul D cannot read, but he kept denying that the picture was of Sethe. Paul D knew that the article must not be good news, because a black face would never appear in the newspaper otherwise. Paul D now knows about the murder that Sethe committed. However, Paul D denies it. He refuses to grant the rectitude. Thoughts: I wonder what Paul D will now think of Sethe. willing he confront her about this? allow he leave her now that he knows the truth? Nelson Lord was write about the question. I cant believe its true. I thought Sethe loved her daughter like no other. She doesnt seem like a killer. Chapte r 18 Paul D told Sethe he knew about the murder. She keeps repeating when I came back, she was already crawling. Sethe keeps walking around the room. She explains to Paul D the troubles she went through with Denver. Sethe feels that she loves her children more now because they are free. She could not love her children when they were owned by someone else. Paul D extrapolates because he felt the same way when he listened to the doves. She does not want to tell Paul D what happened, so she circles around the memory. Paul D realizes Sethe did kill her children. He hears godsend in his head. He realizes she did it for the pure reason of safety. The way Sethe talked about the love she had for her children scared Paul D. He tells her her plan did not work. She explains it did because the schoolteacher is nowhere to be found. He got up and told her to put his supper scurf aside because he will be late. Beloved sees him passing. Sethe finds it sweet that he did not say, Goodbye. She k nows he will not be back.
Thoughts: Sethe really scared me in this chapter. I know she says she did it for her children, but she doesnt admit that she did it. Her only excuse is that she thought it was the right thing to do. She has no remorse for what she did. She does not see anything pervert in killing her children. I knew Paul D would leave. Its good that he left anyway. If I was him I wouldve left as well. She seems like a completely different person now. Will she be ok? Is she going to turn crazy like Halle did? take time off 2 Chapter 19 muller nonrecreational feels bad for what he said to Paul D. He goes to Sethes house to see if he can relieve his guilt. He feels l ike a sneak. He feels bad because Sethe has gone through many hard times. She had to deal with Baby Suggs death right after. When battalion came to bewail the death, they only ate the food they brought. Nothing of Sethes was touched. None of the neighbors talked to Sethe. When he got to Sethes house, he could not walk in or knock. For the next six geezerhood, he goes to Sethes house but cannot knock on the door. Sethe misses Paul D. She thinks she shouldnt have trusted him so much. She remembers the olden days when she was happy. like a shot she has nothing. She is miserable. She even had to sell sex to get Beloveds gravestone. She takes Beloved and Denver ice skating. After ice skating, they wrap themselves in a blanket and drink milk. Beloved starts humming a song. After Beloved is done humming, Sethe realizes that the song was a song Sethe made up. Sethe used to sing it her children. all her children knew the song. At this point, Sethe knows for sure Beloved is her ghost d aughter. Stamp stipendiary goes back to the house, ! barely he just leaves. Sethe decides to leave for work late. She watches her daughters sleep. She thinks if Beloved came back, then her sons should too. She figures she will not have to tell the story of the slaughterhouse. Stamp paying finally knocks on the door, however Sethe is not home. He sees two girls, one is Denver and the other he does not know. He goes to talk to Ella to see if she knows anything. She doesnt, but she tells him Paul D is quiescence at the church. Stamp Paid criticizes Ella for not vortex Paul D a bed. When she arrives at work , she gets call at by her boss. However, Sethe turns her back and does her work. Sethe forgot the food for dinner. Sethe thinks of all the things she wants to forget. Sethe apologizes to Beloved in her mind. She is proud for what she did. Thoughts: It is hard to say sorry and admit you did something horrible. The shoot part is he knows he ruined Sethes life. She is now miserable. She has gone into depression. I feel bad for her. S he has nothing. She was happy when everything seemed perfect. All big things must come to an end. Happiness does not last forever. That seems to be the theme of this chapter. It is a very depressing chapter. I cant believe Sethe is dormant proud of herself for what she did. Why does Stamp Paid have to know who Beloved is? Why doesnt Stamp Paid offer Paul D a bed? I wonder if Beloved will stay. Chapter 20 Sethe thinks Beloved has come back to her. Sethe is very gracious towards Beloved because she came back. Beloved wanted to come back on her own. Sethe promises to herself that she will take very good care of Beloved. Sethe tells herself that she will tell Beloved why she killed her. She will explain it was for the best. Sethe realizes thanks to Beloved she will see color again. Sethe is still haunted by her past. Sethe sees that Mrs. Garner wasnt as perfect as she thought. There were times when Mrs. Garner did nothing when Sethe needed her. Sethe is happy that she can talk to Bel oved about Sweet Home. Denver was never there, so she! hated hearing the stories. Sethe wanted to kill herself after having to kill her children. She only stayed alive because she had to take care of Denver, Howard, and Buglar. Now that Beloved is back, Sethe feels like she is at peace. Thoughts: Im beaming that Sethe is happy in this chapter. She seems to be setting things straight. I dont think everything is going to go so well. Throughout this book, when something great happens another bad things happens. There is no such thing as perfect in this book. Its quite sad really. Beloved is going to go crazy when she hears what her mother did to her. I think Beloved will hate her mother for winning her away from her. Would Beloved even want to listen to the stories of Sweet Home? She died there. Why would she want to listen to the stories? Chapter 21 Denver has lived a very isolated life. She basically lived in a box. She interact with no one. She was very sheltered. Sethe was often at work. She had no father. The only things she knew about her father were from Baby Suggs. Baby Suggs made Halle secure like an angel. Denver liked the ghost. It was the only company Denver had. When the ghost left, Denver felt alone. When Beloved arrived, Denver was very happy. She had a companion now. Denver knows Beloved is her sister. However, Denver is timid that Sethe will kill again. She fears Sethe might kill Beloved and Denver. Thoughts: It is scary to think your mother might go after you and kill you. I would never sleep. I would also never get my mother angry. I think if I was Denver I would gone crazy. I dont think I wouldve been able to be by myself for so long. I cannot even do that now. I am so used to having a sister that I dont hear what it is to be alone. On rare occasions, I can understand what Denver went through. This chapter made me realize I take penetrative my parents for granted. I take having two parents for granted. Chapter 22 Beloved narrates this chapter. She says she is crouching and watching others . She is inside a dead mans body. The reason why she ! is locomote apart is because she is using a body that is already dead. Soon enough the body will decay and the true self will appear. She is in the water look at the reflection. She keeps face the iron circle is not around my neck. She sees a face in the water. The face is Sethe. She sees Sethe chewing and wallowing Beloved. When Beloved blinks, she sees Sethe smiling. Thoughts: Its weird that Beloved would see that. I think thats scary. I cried after see what Beloved wrote. Its sad how she is going to decay. Its weird how Denver and Sethe see Beloved and not the dead guy. She is using a dead guys body. I thought what if the people we see are dead bodies? Could that be possible? We wouldnt even know the difference. Only the person who is using the body would know. How freaky! Chapter 23 This chapter still has Beloved talking. Beloved thinks Sethe is picking flowers. Just when Sethe was going to smile, the dead men pushed all of the dead into the water. Sethe went into the water without being pushed. Beloved found Sethe but then lost her under the bridge. Beloved tries to reach for Sethe but she swims up to the top. Beloved follows Sethe to the house. When Beloved sees Sethe, she is smiling. At this point, Beloved does not want to lose Sethe again. Beloved hears a vocalize talking to her. The joint asks if Beloved came from the other side. Beloved answers yes. The voice tells Beloved she is safe and the men wont hurt her. The voice promises Beloved, soda water is climax for us. The voice ends with repeating, You are mine. The voices seems to be saying many things. The voices seem to be Sethe and Denver talking to Beloved. Thoughts: The voices scare me. Beloveds thoughts scare me. Why does she think Sethe will eat her? Does that mean she is panic-stricken of Sethe? Beloved does not want to lose Sethe though. The things the voices are saying seem to be Sethe and Denver. I think Beloved wants Sethe and Denver to say these things to Beloved. I think s he needed to hear these things to make her feel loved! . It seems Beloved is feeling insecure. Does that mean shes still a baby inside? She has not grown up yet. Chapter 24 Paul D sits on the porch drinking liquor. He remembers how his tin heart was open. He realizes his emotions are open. He thinks about his days at Sweet Home. He realizes he had no freedom. He was told that Mr. Garner thought of them as men. However, the schoolteacher toughened them differently. Paul D realizes that Sixos stories are true. He realizes the slave labor is worse out of Sweet Home. He faces reality at the prison in Georgia. Paul D traveled with Sixo and the Three- millilitre Woman. They were caught by the schoolteacher. Sixo resists. Later he gets burned at the cross. Sixo dies thinking about his soon to be born son, Seven-O. Paul D was put into chains. Later that day, Sethe tells Paul D that she is going to run away. Thoughts: I cannot believe people would actually watch other people burn alive. That is a horrible penalization. Long ago people mustv e not had hearts. People are heartless and evil. No one had consciences. Does Paul D miss Sethe? How could he be drinking at a church? If his emotions are open, wouldnt he want someone to talk to? Poor Paul D. He is a lonely guy. He needs Sethe and Sethe needs him. Chapter 25 Stamp Paid sits and talks with Paul D. Stamp Paid apologizes for the people in the community, Stamp feels bad that the people did not give Paul D a place to live. Paul D said the preacher offered his home but Paul declined. Paul D said he needed to be by himself to think. A man on a horse comes up to the men and asks if they know a girl named Judy. However, they dont. Stamp Paid wants to help Paul D make redress to any thing he has done harm to. Paul D asks about Judy, who is a prostitute. Stamp Paid explains to Paul D how he got his name. He changed his name after giving up on his wash Vashti. He changed his name and began a new life. Stamp Paid tells Paul D he saw the murder occurring. Paul D is scared by th e thought. Stamp Paid tells Paul D he has to take as ! much as he can. Thoughts: Paul D seems like a loser to me. He wants to have sex with a girl named Judy. Does he just want to clear his mind? Paul D should just get back with Sethe. Itll do him some good. I hope Stamp Paid feels guilty. Im effulgent he had to change his name and everything. Thats probably his punishment for trying to break two people apart. What an evil guy! At least he got what he deserves. Part 3 Chapter 26 Everyone in the house is starving. They are all seemly weak. Denver thinks about dying, so everyone else can survive. Sethe was fired from her demarcation and cannot find another one because people hate her. Sethe has been spend a lot of time with Beloved. Sethe ignores Denver. Denver thinks it is because Sethe is losing her mind. Sethe and Beloved used all the expenses to play games, buy food, and ribbons. Denver is only there to look after Beloved. Sethe explains the stories before the murder. Beloved doesnt care. Beloved just thinks Sethe left her. Seth e is eating nothing, while Beloved is eating everything. Denver goes to look for a job to help Sethe. Denver goes to Mrs. Joness house looking for a job. People start bringing food and leaving the address on the stump, so that their dish is re glum. Denver goes to Mrs. Joness house to learn the Bible. By June, she has fifty-two pages memorized. Denver is taking care of everything in the house. Even though the food is being brought, Sethe is be feeler smaller. This is the first time Denver thought of herself. Denver goes to the Bodwins and ask for work. A girl named Janey Wagon said she would ask the Bodwins for work for Denver. Everyone in town now knows about Beloved. The towns people think they should help Sethe away from Beloved. Ella is the leader of this project. The first day Denver must work at the Bodwins, she sees the towns woman coming towards the house. Edward Bodwin comes to the house and sees all the people. Sethe opens the door and thinks Edward is the schoolteacher. S he immediately gets the ice pick to protect Beloved w! ith. Thoughts: Sethe is losing it. All she cares about now is Beloved. I feel so bad for Denver. She is taking care of everyone and none of it is appreciated. Denver is Cinderella, while Beloved is the evil step sister. Sethe is outlet crazy. She is turning into Halle. Sethe should eat. Sethe is going to end up becoming sick and dying. Finally, Denver gets to go out. She seems to be free. She must love getting out. Chapter 27 Paul D re false back to Sethe. He hear that Beloved is gone. She has disappeared, hid, or exploded. Ella saved Sethe before she could harm Mr. Bodwin. Paul D comes back and wants to start a new life with Sethe. He takes care of her. First, he gives her a bath. There is no quarrelling between Paul D and Denver. She works outside to keep money flowing in the house. Paul D thinks about his past. He thinks it is great that him and Sethe are together. They have a past together. He tells Sethe she is the best thing for him. Thoughts: Paul D turned out to be a good guy. I guess he just had to figure out what he wanted. Denver is a strong girl. She isnt a brat. She is considerate of her mother. Denver takes care of her mother. Sethe now relies on everyone to help her. She isnt the one in disgrace anymore. All the roles have changed. Everything turned out for the best. This is a great book. Chapter 28 Beloved is gone for good. Sometimes her footprints show up by the river. Thoughts: I loved it. Everything was a mystery. It had everything in it. It by all odds deserves the awards it has won. I have never read a book like this. I didnt want to put it down once I got into it. I give it five stars.
