BELOVED

Today - we are going to talk about the ending of BELOVED and how Part III works.

As promised I will give some key words for themes (remember you need to take this words and discuss Morrison impression or presentation of them in the text.  Example - what is she saying about Slavery.  Slavery is a theme - but what is exactly is Morrison suggesting about slavery.  Write that and you have a theme that you can explore in the text).  Think of this list:

Slavery
Memory and the Past
The Presence of Evil in the World
Love
Community
Family
Identity
Masculinity

Any others?

I hope to give you a few minutes to do a journal entry or two. 

Also, I promised a list of critical essays for essay #7.  Go HERE.  Zach there is even an essay about TREES in BELOVED.

By the way, you might have a quiz if I believe people haven't finished the book!  Also, Monday is Halloween.  Get some journals done so you're not up all night.

Here are some videos - to watch on your own time - that are so what entertaining:
