Middle Passage 2

This part of the novel filled in all the holes that left me wondering in the first half as to what was going on. Calhoun talks about his family which clears up some confusion that I had and why he is the person he has become in the novel.His past experiences with his family comes in connection with his feeling on commitment and marriage. Johnson makes it known to the read in this part of the book why he doesn't want to settle down. He never really had that role model to follow, so he would rather be by himself and not involve anyone else in his mess.

This novel is very interesting because of what happend on the ship. We have not really read about slave being in control. It was very exciting to read that the slaves took over the ship.
