Thank you for your well-wishes, we are all doing great, though it is hard for my son to understand why this little baby is taking a lot of my attention, but he's being a really awesome and helpful older brother. <br /><br />I agree with you -- I think that the climax of the book is when we find out that Sethe killed her baby. As a mom, I could never imagine doing that, but I have also never had to endure the horrors of slavery, so I don't understand the hell that Sethe had been through, and feel like I cannot judge her actions without having been in her shoes. The fear and hysteria she must've been experiencing when seeing the schoolteacher's hat must've been so overwhelming... I don't know how I would've made such a decision so quickly, in the time that he came up the road to her house. However, I don't think that Sethe's decision means that she was mentally ill, necessarily.<br /><br />I enjoyed that Paul D came back to the story at the end, as I feel that poor Sethe really had everyone leave her (including Beloved leaving TWICE), except Denver, who as Weldy pointed out, really became the adult or the "normal one" in the end, by becoming the provider for the family as Sethe and Beloved devolved into arguments and obsession with one another. <br /><br />Hope all is well, good luck on your finals, everyone! -Ms. Lauren lolositahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12767757034930712336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6027649051535433788.post-10936973867388406002015-01-21T13:23:43.947-05:002015-01-21T13:23:43.947-05:00regarding the harming of sethes kids, i feel as if...regarding the harming of sethes kids, i feel as if she thought by sending her children to heaven they would be better there than with schoolteacher, she didn't want her kids to go through everything she did, yes what she did was completely wrong but to her there was no other way, it was heaven or hell and sweethome is her own personal hell which her kids had no knowledge of and she wanted to keep it that way. <br /><br />btw your baby is so cute congrats <br /><br />-MelodieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6027649051535433788.post-3314481724234792382015-01-16T14:50:18.110-05:002015-01-16T14:50:18.110-05:00Sethe have suffer when she was a slave so she did ...Sethe have suffer when she was a slave so she did not want to see her children suffer the same thing she went thorough by them becoming a slave. schoolteacher showed up at the house with one of his nephews, the sheriff, and a slave catcher.

Do you think that the scene of the baby's murder is the climax of the book? If so, why? If not, what do you think is the climax, or action-packed moment of truth?<br /><br /> I think that the scene of the baby's murder is the climax of the book because we find out a dark side of Sethe and make Paul D decide to leave the house cause in my opinion he taught he was living with a person that need help or have mental problems. Another reason is that Paul D was saving to make their own family but that change his mind until the end of the book when Beloved is gone and Sethe look hopeless.

It didn't take a rocket scientist to know that schoolteacher had come to take sethe's children. Sethe that had such horrible past on slavery did not want her experiences to happen to her children. Slavery had a really bad impact on Sethe's life that overtook her to commit murder to one of her child, and attempt to the Buglar, Howard, and Denver. The arrival of the schoolteacher to 124 meant that they would be sold to slavery. I think that Paul D was justified of leaving Sethe after learning the truth. As said in the very first chapter, Paul D had always fantasied of Sethe when they were in Sweet Home. And also explained through the book, Paul D loved her, and now finding out she was a murdered no matter the reason was wrong for him to support her in. He also believed there could have been another way out for her to save her children instead of murder. I think Sethe going mental because she wanted to satisfy Beloved's wishes was the turning point.

Sethe did what she did so the school teacher wouldn't take her kids back to the plantation and put them through slavery.<br />Paul D left Sethe after finding out the truth because he wanted to have a child with her, thinking that the baby would be free. Of course he wouldnt want to have a baby with her knowing that eventually if the school teacher would ever come back to 124, Sethe might kill their child out of fear. I think he was right and wrong. Wrong because she cant help why she did what she did in the past, and right because no one would want to have a child would someone who might kill the life they brought into the world.<br />I do think that the scene of the baby's murder was the climax of the book. That basically explains the reason why Sethe is the way that she is and why Denver's life is the way that it is. It explains why nobody comes to visit and everyone keeps their distance. The baby of the past is the key that unlocks the door to the future in a way.<br />- OnajahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6027649051535433788.post-70278793208971221172015-01-15T14:27:05.792-05:002015-01-15T14:27:05.792-05:00Why will sethe kill her babys ?

What I think was another action packed of truth is when Beloved slept with Paul D because it brought us to where Paul D left when Sethe heard that Beloved and Paul D was sleeping together and it is also where Beloved was Pregnant.

It was probably the wrong decision because Paul D, as much as he didn't want to have an affair with Beloved he should have took care of Beloved because after that affair Beloved was pregnant and was turning into a crazy insane person.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6027649051535433788.post-49831372370569935072015-01-13T10:57:30.231-05:002015-01-13T10:57:30.231-05:00JESUS SAYS - ayoooooo miss, hey i think your baby ...JESUS SAYS - ayoooooo miss, hey i think your baby is adorable she is sooo cute and im happy for you, im glad you brought a new baby into this world ! <br /><br />Question 1.

The school teachers arrival had Sethe screaming and telling Buglar and Howard to run to the shed while taking beloved and Denver and running to the shed so she can try and kill them and make sure that they wont get taken from her.<br /><br /> I think he wanted to leave after beloved and him had sex because he didn't want to keep on living there with beloved being there. I think that he would've drove himself insane with beloved still being there and after Sethe found out who she was, she would've told Paul D and he would've ran away just like Sethes sons. So I think it was right for him to leave, Sethe has a really big heart but Paul D wasnt going to be able to handle the fact that Beloved is sethes baby that she killed in the shed and shes back in human form Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6027649051535433788.post-14417596911895006182015-01-13T10:50:30.684-05:002015-01-13T10:50:30.684-05:00Sethe was a very powerful woman who had the streng... Sethe was a very powerful woman who had the strength to kill her own children because she believed that slavery was worse than death. There are many people who wouldn't kill her children because they believed it was morally wrong. Sethe believed that sending her children to slavery was wrong. Sethe was a good mother and didn't mean to kill her babies, she just did what she thought was a good idea for them but apparently wasn't such a good idea as she thought it was. Slavery is a fate worst than death. Paul D walked out on Sethe its pretty obvious.

On to beloved .....AWWWWWWW THE BABY IS SO CUTE ! <br /><br /><br />On to beloved .. Why do you think that Sethe acted so violently against her children? I think she acted voilently because she really loved her kids and didnt want schoolteacher taking them away. I think she felt like if she couldnt have a her kids then nobody can, and therefore she killed them. <br /><br /><br />What does schoolteacher's arrival at 124 have to do with Sethe's actions? I believe that school teacher's arrival at 124 impacted sethe actions because seeing him probably brought back bad flashbacks that she was already trying to get rid of. Seeing him changed everything, making her realized what she really had done. <br /><br /><br />Why do you think that Paul D left Sethe after learning the truth? I beleive that Paul Left after finding he truth because he was hurt, the fact that anybody can kill their child is truly disappointing.The fact that she lied to him about what really happened is upsetting as well. <br /><br /><br />Do you think it was the right decision for him to make? YES, he should of been by her side, supporting her and trying to understand. On the other hand i could see why he left.<br /><br /><br />Debbie Hardnett <3Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
