Denver and Beloveds relationship in chapters 8 and 9 is overall positive and the reoccurring theme of sisterhood appears again. https://padlet.com/wprentiss1/ils2x04ulys3bpfr/wish/894318025 2020-11-05 15:11:07 UTC https://padlet.com/wprentiss1/ils2x04ulys3bpfr/wish/894318025 After Sethe felt as if someone was choking her at the clearing, Denver accuses Beloved of choking her. After Beloved denies this and runs away, Denver is "Left alone, Denver wonders if, she had been wrong' (119). This shows a change in Denver's feelings towards Beloved.

Once Stamp Paid saw Sethe he immediately stepped in to help. He even told one of the boys he was with to undress in the cold so that he could wrap the baby in something. Stamp Paid made sure Sethe and the baby crossed the river safely and said, "'Wait here. Somebody be here directly. Don't move. They'll find you'" (107). Even though he had just met Sethe, he felt it was his duty to help another slave escape. ]]> 2020-11-05 15:29:07 UTC https://padlet.com/wprentiss1/ils2x04ulys3bpfr/wish/894411496 ryanc77 https://padlet.com/wprentiss1/ils2x04ulys3bpfr/wish/894434323 There is evidence to support that Mrs Garner was relativly nice to Sethe. When Sethe went to Mrs Garner to tell her that she was going to marry Hallie Mrs Garner "touched Sethe on the head saying,'You are one sweet child" and then no more"(31, Morrison). This proves that Mrs Garner treated Sethe in a nicer manner. though she still "owned" Sethe it goes to show that she may have treated her slaves with more respect considering that Sethe feels comfortable enough to share personal information. 
In this article the desendants seemed nice considering that "an elderly white woman held the hand of a black man with whom she was deeply engrossed in conversation". This proves that the desendants of slave owners and slaves were able to learn from past generations somewhere on how to treat everyone with decancy. ]]> 2020-11-05 15:33:42 UTC https://padlet.com/wprentiss1/ils2x04ulys3bpfr/wish/894434323 The Four Horseman of the Apocalypse wprentiss1 https://padlet.com/wprentiss1/ils2x04ulys3bpfr/wish/900316810 Where does this reference come from?
