Summary - This is the scene when Dana and Kevin return to 1976 after Kevin has been in the 1800s for five years. Kevin becomes infuriated by the fact that he can't get any inspiration for his writing. And says that "Five years is longer than it sounds".

Why it fits into identity -
After spending five years in the 1800s, Kevin has become a different person. Although he did help slaves escape to freedom, he did have to assimilate and act like a white male was expected to act in the Northern United States.

The children are pretending to be slaves at an action who are selling eachother off. This fits with education because it shows how the slavechildren are so easy to accept the fact that they are seen as property and even play at selling eachother.

Rufus tries to get Dana to tell Alice to come to him and Dana says she will not help him 🤬 her. Rufus goes on to say how he loves Alice like Dana loves Kevin but then proceeds to make a pass at Dana telling her that Kevin has probably moved on because it's been five years. Eventually, Rufus tells her that if she doesn't get Alice to come to him, Alice will be beaten until she does. In response, Dana says "Is that what you call love?" 
This relates to culture as it shows how in Rufus' time black women were treated as not much more than sexual objects. ]]> 2020-09-01 17:11:22 UTC https://padlet.com/msmclemore25/7ewfwaqtxbfntf44/wish/712516465 Identity https://padlet.com/msmclemore25/7ewfwaqtxbfntf44/wish/712520869 Page 165
When Dana goes to Alice on Rufus's account and is then later asked about her husband, Alice yells at her for being white. 

This shows how Dana's behaviors and desires (such as keeping in contact with her white husband) is shameful from her side. This causes Dana's overall identity to be questioned as to which side/community she belongs in. Is it with the white community that she has grown to get along with, or it is her heritage from the black community?]]> 2020-09-01 17:12:27 UTC https://padlet.com/msmclemore25/7ewfwaqtxbfntf44/wish/712520869 Science msmclemore25 https://padlet.com/msmclemore25/7ewfwaqtxbfntf44/wish/712529291 p. 13, 19

Dana is helping Rufus after he got beat up and is realizing that she isn't the best guardian for him. She has concluded that since she is a black woman in the antebellum south she is putting her life in danger by continuing to take care of him. This fits with identity because it shows how her race and gender affects her life by making it more dangerous.]]> 2020-09-01 17:15:02 UTC https://padlet.com/msmclemore25/7ewfwaqtxbfntf44/wish/712533690 Science, Technology msmclemore25 https://padlet.com/msmclemore25/7ewfwaqtxbfntf44/wish/712537666 p. 73 and 75 - Dana worries about gems in 1819 and realizes that the people in this time period don't know anything about the science of cleanliness ]]> 2020-09-01 17:15:56 UTC https://padlet.com/msmclemore25/7ewfwaqtxbfntf44/wish/712537666 Identity 1100344784 https://padlet.com/msmclemore25/7ewfwaqtxbfntf44/wish/712539483 Page 93

Dana discusses with Kevin about Tom Weylin's children that he has had with slaves. This shows his power over all his slaves and if he wants to he can 🤬 them and force them to have his children. He controls every aspect of their lives and traps them on the plantation by forcing them to have children.]]> 2020-09-01 17:16:38 UTC https://padlet.com/msmclemore25/7ewfwaqtxbfntf44/wish/712540405 Art msmclemore25 https://padlet.com/msmclemore25/7ewfwaqtxbfntf44/wish/712541817 p. 56 - Writing as art, Kevin writes a book.

It is Dana's first time working on the fields and Evan Fowler, the guy that supervises the slaves is extremely brutal and violent to her, raising his whip and hitting her several times. This shows power because Fowler treats her and others as if they were inferior, making them live with fear. ]]> 2020-09-01 18:55:33 UTC https://padlet.com/msmclemore25/7ewfwaqtxbfntf44/wish/712941753 Identity https://padlet.com/msmclemore25/7ewfwaqtxbfntf44/wish/712942820 pg 223-224
Dana tells Carrie she feels guilty for not letting Rufus die and says that she is more white than black and a traitor. Carrie wipes Dana's forehead and holds her fingers in front of Dana. Nigel later explains that this gesture is Carrie's way of saying that the black on Dana does not come off and who cares about the people so say Dana is anything than who she is. I believe this is under this field of inquiry because this is a big part of the books reassures Dana of an important part of her identity, her race.]]> 2020-09-01 18:55:53 UTC https://padlet.com/msmclemore25/7ewfwaqtxbfntf44/wish/712942820 Science and enviornment https://padlet.com/msmclemore25/7ewfwaqtxbfntf44/wish/712942829 Page 203-205

When Dana is summoned by Rufus when he starts the fire,  he refers to black people using the n-word. Dana then is shocked and corrects him to use 'black woman' or refer to her by her name. Dana believes that she should be called what she wants and her correcting Rufus and reprimanding him on this matter helps build Dana's identity by expressing what she is and what she wants to be called by by Rufus. This also alters Rufus's identity because it teaches him what is wrong and what is right which was hard in the antebellum south considering that it was pre-civil war.

Dana is talking to Kevin about how her family feels about them marrying each other. She explains that her uncle and aunt have differing views upon the marriage. Her uncle does not approve of the marriage because of the fact that Kevin is white. Due to the times of slavery and segregation, he was not willing to accept a white person into the family. On the other hand, Dana's aunt is indifferent because she thinks it would be better to have someone of a lighter skin tone in her family as she embraces "white" features.]]> 2020-09-01 18:55:57 UTC https://padlet.com/msmclemore25/7ewfwaqtxbfntf44/wish/712943034 Environment https://padlet.com/msmclemore25/7ewfwaqtxbfntf44/wish/712943544 Page (191-192)
The way people use their environment has changed from the 1800s to the later 1900s. People have become less active and tasks have gained efficiency. Dana states that it makes life less memorable and "real-like." People living in the environment of the 1900s would not be able to relate to those of the 1800s. 
At the end of page 192, she talks about having no love for Rufus's place but it still feels like home. In a way, it made me think of an abusive relationship, Dana finding reason to stay.]]> 2020-09-01 18:56:05 UTC https://padlet.com/msmclemore25/7ewfwaqtxbfntf44/wish/712943544 Page 144-145 https://padlet.com/msmclemore25/7ewfwaqtxbfntf44/wish/712943663 Dana goes to help Tess with the laundry and thinks about how much freedom she has compared to the rest of the slaves.

This passage of the text illustrates a circumstance of Dana's mother on how when her car broke down, she waited for her brother to pick her up. While she waited, three people called the cops on her since she seemed suspicious. After Kevin's sister rejects Dana and Kevin's relationship, Dana speaks about how some people are just racist. However, she goes on to speak about how she thinks that, overall, times have changed and that people are more accepting. This section is important because, the issue that Dana and her mother faced in 1960 and then again in 1976, are similar because they deal with racist views towards Black people rooted in slavery. However, because Dana said she though the situation was better than that of her mom, is not entirely true. In fact, in her own life, her identity was assumed for her and that is still the case for people in today's society. Previous to this section, Dana's uncle urges her to marry a black man and not Kevin, so he is reinforcing to stay within her community because they would accept her more than Kevin's community.

In this scene Dana talks about how she views Tom Weylin as a man who's not necessarily a monster even with the immense amount of power he has over the slaves. She explains how Weylin is just doing "monstrous acts" that are legalized and permitted at the time. This part is also where she is speaking to Rufus, who explains that he will not let his father do anything horrible to her. This reveals a new dynamic of power/authority, as well as Rufus ensuring that at least some of Dana's dignity and human rights are preserved. It shows how Rufus somehow has control or authority over some of the actions of his father.]]> 2020-09-01 18:56:48 UTC https://padlet.com/msmclemore25/7ewfwaqtxbfntf44/wish/712946176 Identity https://padlet.com/msmclemore25/7ewfwaqtxbfntf44/wish/712946620 2020-09-01 18:56:56 UTC https://padlet.com/msmclemore25/7ewfwaqtxbfntf44/wish/712946620 Identity https://padlet.com/msmclemore25/7ewfwaqtxbfntf44/wish/712947764 Page 21

Dana describes how Sarah ran and managed the house while Margaret was away and a dispute that had occurred between the two of them. In this dispute, Dana questions why slaves should work hard as it isn't to their benefit, and they speak about slaves escaping which Sarah likens to heaven. Sarah also denounces the idea of black people writing books, and overall, is very shielded in terms of accepting anything that Dana mentions. It exhibits how Sarah buys into the identity of herself and other black people in this era that has been instilled in her practically since she was born. Dana also identifies her as an Uncle Tom and as being morally superior to her.]]> 2020-09-01 19:02:35 UTC https://padlet.com/msmclemore25/7ewfwaqtxbfntf44/wish/712964978
