I tituba pt. 2 pg 8 to 12

what stood out to me the most from reading this portion of the text was the fact that upon returning to Barbados tituba didn’t visit the jew, that benjamin told her to look for when she arrived there; this was significant because it showed that despite the fact that benjamin treated her extremely nicely, compared to her other slave owners, and looked out for her, even granted her freedom she this wasn’t enough for her to go look up some stranger; not knowing what to expect, she much rather to stick to her “own kind”  because the idea of fitting in and feeling accepted by them was much more important to her.I think this helped the authors main goal by showing that tituba always felt connected and was always loyal to her own people. Another significant moment was when she was having a conversation with the maroon people and they seemed very surprised at the idea of her using her powers to help the “wicked” people, despite the fact that she did not answer, this is significant because it shows how naive tituba was before she had came to the same realization earlier on in the book; that using her powers to help the “wicked” was probably not  the best idea.
