The second part of the project I have chosen to express and demonstrate the scene in a form of a poem with an expressive picture in its background.
The scene I talked about in part one is when Baby Suggs got her freedom and moved to Cincinnati. Halle worked hard even weekends to make enough money to free his mother. I personally find this act very touching and heartbreaking. Selfishness stops behaving at some point when we deal with some categories of people such as family.
The poem is told in first person, using Halleâs voice. The poem expresses the value of the mother and the joy she deserves. It is mentioned that Baby Suggs welcomed the travelers, it is meant here by whom who followed her later on to Cincinnati and join her in her house. The path Baby Suggs has taken and her move to Cincinnati was also described in the poem as I said âDays felt long, terrifying, full of struggle and horror ~Not anymore! Mother, now, you can live in peace and in one piece and feel as a survivor no more.â It is noticeable that this wasnât easy to happen and wasnât a walk in a park.
âThe side where we can have some sense of humor.â the side cross the river is the place where Baby Suggs has moved. It is obvious that people have no sense of humor being slaves but this was generated and reborn again in their lives after their freedom.
The picture in the background shows two mature women whom are represented as Baby Suggs and Sethe surrounded by Setheâs kids in their new home in Cincinnati.
