Post six..Some research finding! Maybe next post will be an example of an entry from Sethe?!

       Alright, so I was doing some research in how to get into a character's head, and I saw this video that I found pretty interesting across my findings. It's of Liam Neeson talking a little about how he got into character for his role in the Schindler's List, which is another story (but in film form) that is sad but a decent representation of a powerful, and historical event.

Confession:
It's a tad difficult reading Remembering Slavery , and it's honestly because it's written in such a way that I don't speak. That's only because of the differences in how we were raised. I had it pretty good growing up, the slaves in this book clearly did not and that hurts me. I wish that there was something I could have done. Anyway, I think that the way this book is written is actually very good because it gives you insight onto how some slaves actually talked lol. I also really liked that there were pictures of the people speaking in the book. What they said have deeped my research and understanding of what it must have been like for Sethe as a slave.

Update as well, my Uncle Vick had said that although slavery wasn't his specialty, but what he did say was that the first slave owner was a black man, part of the white house was built by slaves, they were not given adequate clothing, slaves were encouraged to marry because if they had children then their wealth would increase, and most importantly: Slavery was and still is wrong. 

That makes me think that for Sethe, it was probably good that her kids were not with her when she was a slave, because she says something about not wanting them to endure all the pain and torture she went through being a slave, hence why attempted murder was a thing she did. I mean, why on earth would she want to help her slave master? Or risk her children being beaten or raped like she was?
