Free Write For Beloved

Beloved is suppose to be one of the best books on slavery and in my opinion it lives up to its expectations. The best part of the book is that it always keeps you wondering especially with beloved. Who is she really? what is she a symbol of? how come she decided to come back? Because of this its a very interesting book. One thing i wonder throughout the novel is how come beloved didnt come back and murder the mother when the mother is the one who killed her as a baby. There are two different sides to this. One might believe that she didnt come back and kill the mother because the mother killed her because she loved her and didnt want to see her go through what she experienced with slavery. others might think she should have got back at her mother because you should never kill anyone even out of love especailly your own child. this book leaves many questions in peoples mind
