Beloved

From what I heard about this book, it is suppose it be really good. I am very interested to read more into. When I started readinging it though, I became a little confused. I feel as though Morrison could have addedd alittle more detail into describing the characters.

A part that caught my attention was in chapter one. This is where she comes in connect with the five former slaves she was pout with. Morrison writes about how she is "with" all fo them and finally decides on one of them and ends up having a fourth child. All of th eguys were waiting for her to pleasure them, but in the long run the man she chose disappeared. It seems as though she can not hang on to people she lost. She has lost her baby, her sons ran away, her mother-in-law, and the men she slept when. I feel as though I see a theme of lost happening in the book. I am veyr interested to see what happens.

I have heard a lot of good things about this book so I was actually excited when I found out we were reading it. I was also confussed in the begining of the book. I found it to be so confussing because i didnt expect the book to start out the way it did. I didnt really think about loss being a related theme throughout the book but after I read your blog I could see how this could very well be a related theme.
