what i found interesting in reading chapter 10 and kinda through out the novel is how tituba voice start builds up to what seems more than a slave it seem tituba as a slave she has a voice and people will listen to her. for example when the two little girls and her friend would ask tittuba to tell them a story and when the kids began to ask so many questions about death, devil,and the evil, tituba had the power to run all the kids away and band them from the house because the kids were getting out of line. i would never thought a slave has the power to give orders, which bring us back to the question, do slavery novel do a great job of showing how bad slavery was? i truly believe slavery will never be understood, only people who will ever understand slavery will be people who was actually apart of slavery, all we will get out of slavery is the bad treatment and brutality, but there is so much that was apart of it all, and we might never know the truth.

what really strike me with this reading is tituba need for helping her mistress even though she treat tituba so bad. tituba feel like if she helps her mistress that she will be more accepted of her and john indian and possibly change her image of being a “witch”, i also fine tituba to be a sex addict she believe that sex is the solution to any situation, i find it to be a symbolization of her wanting to be loved she did not receive love from her mom so the craving for sex is to make her feel wanted by someone, more specifically a man, and compare to mary prince tituba also has genuine kindness in her heart and she feels the need to help others and try to make them feel something she might have felt or never felt before for example how amaze tituba was when she realize that abigeal williams never had a child hold before and deep down inside she feels the need to help her  she just feel that abigel just miss the most important times of her life which was her child hood

reading the first few pages of tituba was very interesting to me, because compare to Mary prince it seems like the brutality towards slaves got worst. On page 24 it mentions how the slaves would get whipped and when they flesh are exposed slave master would get raw hot pepper sauce and throw it on there flesh, words can’t even explain how devastating that was towards slaves and once again slaves are proven to be strong, and brave people by over coming the brutality towards them in some cases i see them as cheating death cause any average person would break down and give up on life, but other than the brutality towards slaves i found it very fascinating how tituba would be so intrigue with yao relationship and her mother, seems like tituba seeks the love of a man from a early age ion her life. she feels as if a man can be her protector

from pages 41 to the end of the narrative what really interest me was how dramatic everything was from the brutal beating Mary received and the unsafe work condition that all the slaves went through, but in my opinion i find that being dramatic throughout the novel was a necessity to show the reader how important slavery was, because many people throw the word slavery around as if it means nothing or its just something they brush off they shoulder and in reality it is a horrible history that we all share, i find that the novel give very good details that paints a very important image in our head because when people hear the word slavery they think of beating and attending to someone needs but the book being so dramatic it give us a clear insight that slavery was so much more than that from the slaves being dehumanize, treating like animals and all the pain and suffering they went through, so slavery should not be taken lightly because its a time in history that will never be forgotten.

Reading page 20 to 40 was a real eye opener to me of the type of person Mary really was, in some cases she remind me of a early rosa parks, she stands up for what she believes in. As Mary strive to find her to way to freedom. It is clear that she is not just fighting for herself but she is also fighting for race. Mary has genuine love for people. And she just don’t fight for freedom, but she is fighting for freedom for all. Not to just abolish slavery, but freedom for the whites to see there worth, freedom for equality. Freedom for a better life, And she believe it start with her race coming together. Coming together to make a difference and off the record what really open my eye is the fact that as the black culture came together for freedom through the love of each other, but somewhere along the way to modern time we kinda lost where we came from and instead of keep fighting for the better. together, we continue to fight each other, kill each other, and forget how we made it in the first place was through the love of one another that I see in Mary as a person, Mary character as a person really influence me because it shows me that u might be going through rough times, but your not the only one, there are many people around that can be going through the same thing so why talk only for yourself and not of all. Mary prince

Reading the first 20 pages of Mary prince and listening to her story of hard labor, the physical and mental punishment she went through as a slave really touched me, and brought back flashbacks of my past. Mary prince in some cases has lived the saying we have heard over the years. That “the grass is not always so greener on the other side”. In the book Mary explains how she was with a wonderful family that took her in to be the companion for they daughter Betsy until Mrs. Williams had pass away and the former husband of Williams had found a new wife, but needed money for the wedding so he decided to sell Mary, her mother, and sisters, Mary was then bought by captain I where she was treated very cruel where as when she was living with her former master and mistress she was treated with love well at less that’s what it sounded like cause we can also make the prediction as the reader that maybe marry was just too young to start getting treated cruel like she was treated further into her story, but moving on, Mary was treated so bad by captain I the pain was unbearable. She was wiped many times and punished until she felt like giving up on everything, unable to bare the pain Mary had ran away from her master and eager to find a new one where she realized that the grass is not always greener on the other side, thereafter Mary was then bought by captain D captain D was a very cold hearted guy and he made marry worked for hours in the salt water pond where she eventually got sick where it affected her joints, but captain D wanted his slaves to do nothing but work and when they failed to do so he would whoop them, hereafter Mary might have realized that the grass is not greener on the other side. This part of Mary life really touched/ influenced me because for almost my entire life I lived with my father back in Jamaica while my mother was living in the U.S. Trying to build a better life for me, but life with my farther did not seem like life at all. My farther would come home drunk on many nights and he would beat on me, punch me. I was fat as a child and he would tease me I was so abuse as a child that I start to forget who “I Am”. I can remember the moment like it was yesterday. I would hear him coming up the steps and I would run into the closet and hide cause of the fear he will beat on me. Unable to take the pain. I reached out to my mother and told her of the situation. But she seem to b in disbelief and told me I’m crazy, so I decided to reach out to other family member. Determined to move away from my farther and came to find out that the grass is truly not greener on the other side when my uncle decided to take me in. I thought it would be a great idea seeing that that we had a nice relationship as a child but surprisingly my uncle was a drunk as well and he would beat on me worst than my farther did
