Post #8 – Frank Lopez

In the reading, the part that stood out to me the most was in chapter 8 (page. 127), when Tituba was talking to Benjamin Cohen D’Azevedo in bed. Benjamin was saying how Jewish people had it though and Tituba retaliated saying, “And what about us? Do you know how many of us have been bled from the coast of Africa.” I thought it put everything into perspective because when Africans were being enslaved all these bad things were also happening to Jewish people too. I also found it interesting how well they connected because they were different and discriminated on. Though the relationship was very short-lived it seems that Tituba was very happy being with him. I think that the relationship was forced at first but eventually I felt like they genuinely fell in love and that he was not a bad guy.
