In the section of the reading between chapters twenty and twenty-seven, I discover something very significant scene in this novel. The scene was Joseph trying to reach Sophie after calling the apartment phone number. It revealed that Joseph left Sophie and his daughter, Bridgette because he went on a musical tour. Sophie was very nervous about seeing Joseph after he was gone for months. This scene was very significant because it reminded me of a would-be lover that I knew since day camp who have been in the United States Navy for like a month. Another significant scene from the novel was Sophie reuniting with her mother, Martine. Sophie was surprised to her mother because she was different than before. In addition, Martine was very skinny, young and healthy. Also, Martine was more happier than before because she was very strict to Sophie. For example, letting her not see boys and always doing her schoolwork everyday.

Near the end of the novel, I found something very significant in this scene. When Sophie visited Rena’s office, the latter asked how her mother was doing. Sophie said to Rena that her mother, Martine was in her state of mind. In addition, Martine was pregnant. Her plan was to get rid of her baby by abortion. The reason Martine planned to sent her baby to abortion because she heard the baby saying mean things to her. Rena believed Martine needed an exorcism before planning to abort the baby. This scene is very similar to the novel, I, Tituba Black Witch of Salem. For example, Tituba had a child after the former was born from the rape and had experienced tragedy and pain. Unfortunately, Tituba could not raised this child and threw the infant in the fire. Another scene I found very important from Breath, Eyes, Memory was Martine’s death. After Martine committed suicide, Sophie felt devastated of her death because she did not support despite their relationship being restored.

Sophie returned to Haiti after being in New York City for many years. In addition, Sophie was married with Joseph and had a daughter named Brigitte. Also, she met a woman named Louise who wanted to go the United States of America just like Sophie. She worked as a secretary. I found Sophie’s personality significant because she raising her daughter very well and had a full-time job after finishing college. The scene with Sophie missing her husband, Joseph was very significant. I believed it was very important because he used to play his saxophone next to the pregnant Sophie while she was pregnant. Also, she put on one of his old shirts. This shows how Sophie really missed her husband, but never forgotten about him. Another scene was with coal vendor being  attacked by the Macoutes. After the coal vendor accidently stepped on the baby-faced Macoute’s foot, the latter hit the vendor’s ribs with automatic gun. Furthermore, the other macoutes ruthlessly attacked the vendor with their boots. Most of the people including Grandme Ife, Louise and Sophie were appalled at this scene.

While reading this novel, I come across something very vital in this scene. Eighteen- year old Sophie graduated from high school and is going to start college very soon. Her mother put her in Maranatha Bilingual Institution, but Sophie dislike it. The reason Sophie hated it because all of her classes are French aside from English and literature classes. In addition, the students from public school across the street were calling Sophie and her classmates racial names like “boat people” and “stinking Haitians.” I feel sad for Sophie because she felt like an outcast in New York City by other people who were xenophobic to her kind. In addition, I believe her mother was overprotective and very strict to her. Another scene that I found very significant, but confusing and disturbing was Sophie’s mother testing her. When Sophie’s mother was testing her, she noticed her daughter’s body trembling. It revealed Sophie failed the test and her mother angrily to tell to go Joseph. After the incident, Sophie to Joseph’s home and asked him to marry her. I feel extremely angry at Sophie’s mother for testing her body and not caring about what will happen to her when she goes to see Joseph.

During the reading of Breath, Eyes, Memory, I discover something significant in this scene. The scene that I found very important was the army soldiers shooting at a group of students. The students were throwing rocks at the burning vehicle and the soldiers started shooting at them in cold blood rather than detained them. For example, a girl grabbed the soldier by the arm before she was knocked on unconscious on the head by the soldier’s pistol. I was extremely horrified of the situation because these soldiers annihilated underage students without mercy. In addition, this is different from the Vietnam War when the U.S. soldiers killed some Vietnamese Villagers because they thought these villagers were aiding the enemies despite them protesting. Another scene that I discover very important which was Sophie’s mother finally saw her daughter in very own eyes. Also, she hugged and kissed her daughter on the cheek. This reminded of my grandmother who had missed me when I was gone on a vacation for a long time.

While reading this new novel, I come across something very significant in this scene. The scene that I discovered important was Sophie’s concern of reading with someone. The reason she was concerned about this because the young should learned how to read from the old, respected and wiser people. Another scene which I found very important was Tante Atie not going to New York with Sophie to see the latter’s mother. Tante Atie told Sophie that she cannot go to New York because she had to take care of Sophie ‘s grandmother at home. In addition, Atie was only in Croix-des-Rosets because of Sophie ‘s schooling. I feel pretty upset that Tante Atie cannot be with Sophie, but Sophie’s mother wanted to see her for real. Atie says, “When she left you with me, she and I, we agreed that it would only be for a while” (Danticat, 20). This proves why Sophie’s mother really wanted to see her own daughter for the first time since the latter was with Tante Atie.

Towards the end of the novel, I find out that Tituba died. Before she died, Tituba was pregnant again. I believe that Tituba had an important relationship with Christopher. For example, he reveal his true feelings for her which was quite to Tituba’s previous lover, John Indian. In addition, Christopher also provided her with her own hut. During most of his times, Christopher usually relaxes in his hut smoking a cigar. While Christopher treated and respected Tituba as a lover, the spirits of Abena and Mama Yaya including the other slaves showed disdain. The scene I discover very significant is Tituba tending a boy named Iphigene who had experience two hundred fifty whip slashes and dangerous spell. Furthermore, I feel sad for him because he lost his mother who was whipped to death by master Edward Dashby. Also, he referred Tituba as Mother. Iphigene wanted Tituba to go back to Christopher so he and the other slaves planned to revolt.

During the reading, I found something very significant in this scene. Tituba encountered Benjamin Cohen d’Azevedo, a Jew, who had tragic history of losing his wife and his youngest children from an epidemic disease. I found this scene kind of sad because Benjamin cannot get over his deceased wife. Furthermore, Tituba decided to support him by speaking to his deceased wife. I discover this very interesting because this was first time that Benjamin had ever communicate with invisible spirits. Moreover, Benjamin and Tituba revealed their different tragic historical and cultural backgrounds. Another very important scene in this was Tituba reunion with Mary Black. It was very ironic because both ladies were being accused as witches. Mary revealed to Tituba about the town’s deception since many girls were being tricked by their parents for money, land and rivalries. Also, the villagers planned to force Samuel Parris out of the village. Tituba also found out that John Indian was in Topsfield. This had left her devastated.

While reading I, Tituba the Black Witch of Salem, I come across something very significant in this scene. After Tituba ended up in shackles for being accused as a witch, she encountered a fellow female captive named Hester. While Tituba and Hester were talking, the former noticed that the latter is pregnant. It was revealed that Hester committed Adultery. I believe this scene was ironic because of Hester’s pregnancy. It was similar how Abena and later Tituba were pregnant while they were slaves. On the other hand, both of them did not want to accept this because of their horrible pasts. Hetty’s pregnancy from the novel, “The History of Mary Prince” also reflects this scene. Another scene that I discover something very important and disturbing is Tituba losing a lot of strength and energy due to the lack of food and water. In addition, many crude strangers would observed her appearance and made offensive comments about it. I feel devastated about Tituba being on the verge of death and Hester’s pregnancy while in shackles because they both had encountered a lot of trauma and pain.

During chapter ten of I, Tituba Black Witch of Salem, I discover something very significant in this scene. Since Tituba had been in Salem, most of the villagers of Salem resented her because of her status as a witch. Another significant is Tituba was trying to help the ill Betsy off the floor before the latter uttered a terrifying scream. This scream was in fact monstrous rather than human. I found this very important and mysterious because Tituba was aware about this unseen evil came from her before it attacked Betsy. Unfortunately, it also came in contact with Abigail Williams and started screaming similar to Betsy. The Paris couple accused Tituba of bringing her decevious spells upon them. Samuel Parris threatened Tituba to have her hanged by the neck after he finds the evidence of Besty and Abigail being affected by her witchcraft. Dr. Griggs studied two girls’ bodies and found no physical evidence except one theory that Satan was upon them.
