In her life was a miserable channel of her dead daughter and escaping slavery, she appears to escape these discouragements with being upfront with everyone she meets. The people that have immense conversations with Sethe feel that she is a caring person.  Sethe tries to make friends with those that she respects or is empathetic with her and her struggles. Even though Sethe went through traumatizing events of slavery and the death of her young daughter, she lives on, treading through whatever obstacles she comes across. Some words to describe Sethe would be caring, devoted, independent, reliable, easy speaking, tender, matter-of-the-fact, shy, strong, (extremely) motherly. So far, she has a decent relationship with her daughter as she takes care of her, and a close friendship with Paul D as she talks about essentially anything with him.]]> 2017-01-24 20:54:24 UTC https://padlet.com/mcwilliams_p/bs7rex9idw3y/wish/149172150 mcwilliams_p https://padlet.com/mcwilliams_p/bs7rex9idw3y/wish/149442526 2017-01-25 19:31:44 UTC https://padlet.com/mcwilliams_p/bs7rex9idw3y/wish/149442526 mcwilliams_p https://padlet.com/mcwilliams_p/bs7rex9idw3y/wish/149443733 Sethe's language is a weird flowery language, especially in ways that she introduces things to other people. One such example is how Sethe described the way she described the way her baby died. Paul D reiterates, " You said she died soft. Soft as cream." (Pg. 11) This gives texture and life to the words being spoken.]]> 2017-01-25 19:35:01 UTC https://padlet.com/mcwilliams_p/bs7rex9idw3y/wish/149443733 mcwilliams_p https://padlet.com/mcwilliams_p/bs7rex9idw3y/wish/149448017 The way in which Sethe speaks is unique. Her dialect is in a sort of Southern hospitality, not being rude due to her situation, and always having a tenderness to her language. "That's just it. She got no cause to act up with a stranger. Oh baby, what is it? Did something happen?" (Pg. 17) She speaks to Paul D with her motherly intent over her daughter.]]> 2017-01-25 19:47:43 UTC https://padlet.com/mcwilliams_p/bs7rex9idw3y/wish/149448017 mcwilliams_p https://padlet.com/mcwilliams_p/bs7rex9idw3y/wish/149453157 The word choice used this early shows how grateful she is to be a mother for her children, and to be free from harm and slavery. "How loose the silk. How loose and fine and free." (Pg. 33) The appreciation of these details of the silk also describe her in the sense of being loose, free, able to do what she wants .]]> 2017-01-25 20:02:44 UTC https://padlet.com/mcwilliams_p/bs7rex9idw3y/wish/149453157
