Beloved Continued

So far I have read over half of Beloved and my attitude towards the book hasn't changed too much. I started out liking it and nothing has made me change my opinion. I have read about some major events that have happened like Sethe crossing the Ohio River and her trying to kill her kids. I think that the part about her trying to kill her kids is really gross and inhumane but also interesting. The extent that she would go to to protect her kids from harm is really amazing, but I think it is taken too far. She could have sent them away or set up different arrangements instead of killing them. I thought that it was cool that the article that Mr. Mullins showed us in class about the killing in the Cincinnati newspaper and how it matched up with the real events that happened in the paper. I was kind of confused about how she was actually caught and if her husband was present when this happened. I also was confused about how she was only successful with one kid instead of all of them. Lastly, I was wondering if Baby Suggs knew about what her daughter-in-law was doing or I she was completely clueless about what was happening in the shed that she was really close to.
