The church is described as cold. This reminds me of the way someone might be memorialized at a church when they have died. The coldness also adds onto this as corpses are cold and lifeless.]]> 2021-01-29 14:01:57 UTC https://padlet.com/judeobsc17/wdt8zp1wq4c877pl/wish/1140640020 https://padlet.com/judeobsc17/wdt8zp1wq4c877pl/wish/1140640086 Ella hits the nail on the head when she says "you know just as well as I do that people who die bad don't stay in the ground".

It connects to the gothic elements of spirits and hauntings.]]> 2021-01-29 14:01:57 UTC https://padlet.com/judeobsc17/wdt8zp1wq4c877pl/wish/1140640086 https://padlet.com/judeobsc17/wdt8zp1wq4c877pl/wish/1140651675 in this area of the text the author gave John's back story but contradicts the tough/angry guy image when he begins to start openly being guilty about having broken such news to Paul D. He is showing worry and care toward Paul D and friendship towards others who are mentioned. Theses emotions and actions don't exactly match up with his "I don't need anyone" image. I personally feel that this strays away from a common cold tone to the book and gives a warmer tone. This was a sudden charecter development brought on by his own actions. ]]> 2021-01-29 14:04:30 UTC https://padlet.com/judeobsc17/wdt8zp1wq4c877pl/wish/1140651675 https://padlet.com/judeobsc17/wdt8zp1wq4c877pl/wish/1140688613 The ribbon is very significant, it is mentioned many times in these pages. ]]> 2021-01-29 14:12:17 UTC https://padlet.com/judeobsc17/wdt8zp1wq4c877pl/wish/1140688613 https://padlet.com/judeobsc17/wdt8zp1wq4c877pl/wish/1140864352 When Sethe was walking home from her job she recalled her life at sweet home and the time spent there with baby Beloved. I find it awful that she talked about Sixo being burned and walking past a tree that had been decorated with a handful of boys’ bodies the same way she talks about getting her milk back to beloved.]]> 2021-01-29 14:48:35 UTC https://padlet.com/judeobsc17/wdt8zp1wq4c877pl/wish/1140864352 https://padlet.com/judeobsc17/wdt8zp1wq4c877pl/wish/1140909142 On page 221, Ella goes on to say "Anything white floating around in the woods -- if it ain't got a shotgun, it's something I don't want no part of!" helped bring some Gothic elements back into the average conversation she was having with Stamp Aid. Much like Emily said, the author had consistent Gothic elements. ]]> 2021-01-29 14:57:29 UTC https://padlet.com/judeobsc17/wdt8zp1wq4c877pl/wish/1140909142 https://padlet.com/judeobsc17/wdt8zp1wq4c877pl/wish/1141259156 Sethe comes to the conclusion that Beloved is the embodiment of her murdered daughter who had no choice but to come back in the flesh since Paul D drove her non-material spirit out. ]]> 2021-01-29 16:07:31 UTC https://padlet.com/judeobsc17/wdt8zp1wq4c877pl/wish/1141259156
