Does anyone else get the feeling her dad's bones are in the bag? "'What the devil they want that for?'" (pg 186). "...the bag was much lighter than they had anticipated" (pg 186). "The moonlight was playing tricks on him, for he thought he saw the figure of a man standing right behind his friend" (pg 186).

Does Hagar not know what's in the bag? Why would she let Milkman and Guitar into the house without saying something? Why didn't she try to kill Milkman while he was there?

# data[].attributes.body
I think an extremely memorable image is the final scene/image of ch 8 where it shows that "a women" saw all of what Milkman and Guitar were doing and was confused as to why the took it.

I think this clearly suggests that there really is no gold.

Why did Pilate and Macon leave each other after one argument when they were children? They were both young and afraid with no one else, so why did they so readily separate?

"what the devil they want that for?' she wondered" (186). i thought this quote was really funny and shows how its probably not the gold that macon and milkman thought. they planned this great heist, but in reality pilate ( i think) watched them waste their time.

(Ch 7) I think that it's lines up with Macon's character that he would demand his son go steal gold from his sister, kind of like Scrooge. He is willing to put him in danger for his own plans, although it remains to be seen what he actually steals, given that the sac likely doesn't contain gold.

Will the dad's ghost show up again later in the story, or is this the actual last time we see him? Also is the doctor going to come back as a ghost, or is he already the flower things?

"Everything they did seemed to be about him, yet nothing he wanted was part of it." (165)

The imagery found in Pilate's life story was extremely moving with moving backstory explaining her life actions. Especially memorable was her isolation and eventual acceptance of herself. This contextualizes her actions throughout the other parts of the story.

This might happened again after Milkman and Guitar found out that nothing valuable inside of the green bag.

Not sure if there are more examples but it is very clear that Guitars mind is very focused on the Seven Days' mission, and finding explosives. One quote I thought was "funny"/humorous was on page 181 where Guitar says, "'I don't understand you. You come running after me with a dynamite proposition..." I liked the word choice here emphasizing the focus of Guitars thoughts.

It's something mentioned repeatedly throughout both chapters and there's a lot of emphasis on how it reacts w/ Milkman and the Dead family, which I also think will become more important later on.

Will Macon actually give Milkman half of whatever's in the bag?

"a woman's face appeared. "What in the devil do they want that for?" she wondered."

"and this latest Jack and the Beanstalk bid for freedom, even though it hd been handed to him by his father - assigned almost - stood some chance of success" (180). I just like this quote because it represents such a deeply-rooted conflict within Milkman, where he wants be freed from his family, but has so much passed down from his father, like behavior, the last name, etc, his "freedom"is even dependent on his father.

Guitar might come after Milkman and/or Macon for the gold

I thought the white peacock stood out as a symbol that seemed out of place and significant.

"And if I do it, will it change me too?" (176). This quote stood out to me because it goes back to why we thought that Guitar told Milkman about the 7 days. Is Milkman thinking about joining the 7 days?

"Each thought it was the way freedom smelled, or justice, or luxury, or vengeance" (pg 185).

What does the white peacock stand for?

What are the chances that Hagar actually killed Milkman earlier, and the rest of this is his fever dream?

how is the white peacock and wealth related?

Will Guitar actually kill those girls? I felt like deep down, he was struggling with it morally at the beginning of chapter 8 and pretending it was about money.

# data[].attributes.body
not gonna quote directly from the book but guitar uses really dehumanizing and vulgar language to describe white people, which is an extreme position he uses to justify committing acts of terrorism (179-180).

Maybe the ghosts of the white kids he killed will come haunt Guitar later
