How do his interactions with it change throughout the story and how do they affect him? 23cowane1 https://padlet.com/23severwaltern/2tvgo8dcmoa8k8u1/wish/2160797740 2022-04-27 17:20:59 UTC https://padlet.com/23severwaltern/2tvgo8dcmoa8k8u1/wish/2160797740 Looking back at the first supernatural occurrence (red tulips) in the novel vs the last one (Milkman finally flies), compare Milkman’s reaction/interaction. What do you notice has changed? 23cowane1 https://padlet.com/23severwaltern/2tvgo8dcmoa8k8u1/wish/2160845394 2022-04-27 17:49:20 UTC https://padlet.com/23severwaltern/2tvgo8dcmoa8k8u1/wish/2160845394 How does Pilate and her relationship with the supernatural influence Milkman's journey to self discovery? 23yem1 https://padlet.com/23severwaltern/2tvgo8dcmoa8k8u1/wish/2162971297 Pilate's strong connection to the supernatural shows Milkman that the "dreams" he experiences aren't actually dreams. Before, he questions reality and fails to believe these supernatural occurrences. But with Pilate, Milkman learns to embrace the supernatural and use it to learn more about himself. ]]> 2022-04-28 16:41:14 UTC https://padlet.com/23severwaltern/2tvgo8dcmoa8k8u1/wish/2162971297 23schubertt1 https://padlet.com/23severwaltern/2tvgo8dcmoa8k8u1/wish/2162972125 1. Pilate guides Milkman along on his journey. Helping his understand himself and connect to his community.
2. In the beginning Milkman simply accepts the supernatural events around him. As he develops he begins to analyze and question the world around him and in doing so connects to himself, his community, and heritage. ]]> 2022-04-28 16:41:42 UTC https://padlet.com/23severwaltern/2tvgo8dcmoa8k8u1/wish/2162972125 https://padlet.com/23severwaltern/2tvgo8dcmoa8k8u1/wish/2162972360 Initially dismisses the peacock as another waking dream like the tulips dream, but by the end of the novel he is excited to discover his heritage, regardless of how unbelievable it may sound. It enables him to fly.

But at the end Milkman became a direct participant of the supernatural and influencing how the supernatural shall proceed.]]> 2022-04-28 16:42:25 UTC https://padlet.com/23severwaltern/2tvgo8dcmoa8k8u1/wish/2162973187 23lipumal https://padlet.com/23severwaltern/2tvgo8dcmoa8k8u1/wish/2162973335 Pilate's strong connection to the supernatural allows Milkman to root his visions in the material and learn about himself.
Milkman disregards supernatural occurrences early in the novel but comes to accept them and act upon latter occurrences.

Milkman frequently ignores the supernatural and only questions it when someone points it out to him. His interactions change as he begins to question unnatural things around him himself. 
3. Milkman goes from not being present for the supernatural to actively engaging with the supernatural.]]> 2022-04-28 16:42:33 UTC https://padlet.com/23severwaltern/2tvgo8dcmoa8k8u1/wish/2162973355 https://padlet.com/23severwaltern/2tvgo8dcmoa8k8u1/wish/2162973395 2. At first, MM disregards the supernatural as a day dream, and even idiotic (white bull), but by the end, he embraces it which happens simultaneously to when he becomes his actualixed self.
3. He goes from doubting its reality to embracing it fully and confidently]]> 2022-04-28 16:42:34 UTC https://padlet.com/23severwaltern/2tvgo8dcmoa8k8u1/wish/2162973395 https://padlet.com/23severwaltern/2tvgo8dcmoa8k8u1/wish/2162973457 2. at the beginning he mostly rejects and disregards it. he laughs at the story about the white bull, etc. but then when he goes south he starts to accept it more - he believes in flight
3. in the tulip moment, he just accepts it, and in the flight moment, he confronts it.]]> 2022-04-28 16:42:37 UTC https://padlet.com/23severwaltern/2tvgo8dcmoa8k8u1/wish/2162973457 https://padlet.com/23severwaltern/2tvgo8dcmoa8k8u1/wish/2162973487 I think pilates relation to the supernatuarl (in regards to her absent navel) leads her to find herself and devolp into a person seperate from others and i think that is especially important to milkmans journey as through the supernatuarl he is somewhat able to demorphe from the people he has morphed into]]> 2022-04-28 16:42:38 UTC https://padlet.com/23severwaltern/2tvgo8dcmoa8k8u1/wish/2162973487 https://padlet.com/23severwaltern/2tvgo8dcmoa8k8u1/wish/2162973645 In the beginning of the book, Milkman disregards supernatural events. However, towards the end, he begins to see the events for what they truly are and connect them to himself and his family's history. ]]> 2022-04-28 16:42:44 UTC https://padlet.com/23severwaltern/2tvgo8dcmoa8k8u1/wish/2162973645 Question 1) 23macdougalls1 https://padlet.com/23severwaltern/2tvgo8dcmoa8k8u1/wish/2162973903 Pilate's relationship with the supernatural allows for her to help display and model for Milkman how to be more connected with his identity and the supernatural. Milkman begins the book both disconnected with the supernatural and himself. However, as he progresses through the book we see him, just as Pilate does, accept supernatural experiences as real right alongside his acceptance and journey for knowledge regarding his familial history and thus self-discovery.]]> 2022-04-28 16:42:55 UTC https://padlet.com/23severwaltern/2tvgo8dcmoa8k8u1/wish/2162973903 Sheejin https://padlet.com/23severwaltern/2tvgo8dcmoa8k8u1/wish/2162974084 2. Milkman generally accepts many supernatural occurrences as if they're normal, meaning he's very passive. For example, he doesn't really question things like his mother being consumed by tulips. I think as the story goes on he becomes more aware, like with the White Peacock and he acknowledges it (I think?). This shows that he actually lives for a change.

3. In the tulips event he just lays back and watches Ruth get smothered, while when he flies he's taking charge and going at Guitar. Passive vs. Active]]> 2022-04-28 16:43:03 UTC https://padlet.com/23severwaltern/2tvgo8dcmoa8k8u1/wish/2162974084 Question 3 https://padlet.com/23severwaltern/2tvgo8dcmoa8k8u1/wish/2162974245 Milkman submits himself more and more to his history and heritage and is more and more relaxed. His gradual submission throughout the book leads him to the point where he can harness the supernatural and fly.]]> 2022-04-28 16:43:10 UTC https://padlet.com/23severwaltern/2tvgo8dcmoa8k8u1/wish/2162974245 How does Milkman interact with the supernatural? How do his interactions with it change throughout the story and how do they affect him? 23yem1 https://padlet.com/23severwaltern/2tvgo8dcmoa8k8u1/wish/2162974533 Milkman used to not believe in the supernatural and convinced himself that they were just dreams. But, while learning more about himself, he transforms and learns to believe and take advantage of the supernatural. For example, he talks to trees and they save him from Guitar in the woods.]]> 2022-04-28 16:43:21 UTC https://padlet.com/23severwaltern/2tvgo8dcmoa8k8u1/wish/2162974533 https://padlet.com/23severwaltern/2tvgo8dcmoa8k8u1/wish/2162974829 2. MM interacts with the supernatural in a very strange way. He sees the supernatural occur during the day and he initially dismisses the tulips but recognizes that the peacock is real. 
1. Pilate acts as MM’s guide through life, she pushes him and helps him interpret the world]]> 2022-04-28 16:43:32 UTC https://padlet.com/23severwaltern/2tvgo8dcmoa8k8u1/wish/2162974829 https://padlet.com/23severwaltern/2tvgo8dcmoa8k8u1/wish/2162974915 Pilate's relationship with the supernatural enables Milkman to explore his own. He knows that someone before him has these supernatural connections which then makes it easier to believe and connect with. ]]> 2022-04-28 16:43:36 UTC https://padlet.com/23severwaltern/2tvgo8dcmoa8k8u1/wish/2162974915 https://padlet.com/23severwaltern/2tvgo8dcmoa8k8u1/wish/2162974988 Pilate influences Milkmans journey to self discovery by showing milkman that the supernatural events are real, Convincing milkman to embrace them. ]]> 2022-04-28 16:43:39 UTC https://padlet.com/23severwaltern/2tvgo8dcmoa8k8u1/wish/2162974988 https://padlet.com/23severwaltern/2tvgo8dcmoa8k8u1/wish/2162975561 1) Pilate feels that the bones in her tarp (her "inheritance") are very important. This is because her father told her that she must not fly off and leave a body. Milkman then steals this (along with Guitar) and eventually gets caught. It's this moment that triggers Milkman's quest to find the gold which is what plays the biggest role in his self discovery. 
2. Milkman talks to Circe who is dead and also has vivid "dreams" including the one where he sees his mother being engulfed by tulips. ]]> 2022-04-28 16:43:56 UTC https://padlet.com/23severwaltern/2tvgo8dcmoa8k8u1/wish/2162975561 https://padlet.com/23severwaltern/2tvgo8dcmoa8k8u1/wish/2162975825 I think initially milkman somewhat disregards the supernatural- disassociates himself from it but as he continues his journey he is able to connect with it stronger ]]> 2022-04-28 16:44:06 UTC https://padlet.com/23severwaltern/2tvgo8dcmoa8k8u1/wish/2162975825 23laln https://padlet.com/23severwaltern/2tvgo8dcmoa8k8u1/wish/2162975976 2. Initially, MM didn't really believe what was going on, but at the same time did not care. By the end, he cared and even showed pride. 

3. In the beginning, when Milkman saw his mother with the tulips, he was unbelieving and embarrassed. In the end, by the time he had heard of the stories of Solomon and his flight, he believed in it. He even bragged about it to Sweet. When he took his flight, it was as a believer and a changed man.

In addition, Milkman used to disregard the idea of supernaturals in the beginning but in the end, he was more aware and accepting of it. ]]> 2022-04-28 16:44:36 UTC https://padlet.com/23severwaltern/2tvgo8dcmoa8k8u1/wish/2162976571 https://padlet.com/23severwaltern/2tvgo8dcmoa8k8u1/wish/2162977927 Pilate is almost like a pilot to her people - she guides them, and in particular Milkman, toward a broader understanding, of not only the natural, but the supernatural world

Milkman at first is very disbelieving and even passive to supernatural occurrences in his life. Gradually, though, he begins to find himself, and when he does, he begins to actually interact and respond to the supernatural aspects of his world]]> 2022-04-28 16:45:26 UTC https://padlet.com/23severwaltern/2tvgo8dcmoa8k8u1/wish/2162977927
