Beloved

It took me a little bit to get used to Morrison’s writing style in the first couple chapters. I found myself having to re-read a few sections that caused some confusion. I found this to be surprising because Morrison’s foreword was so well developed and gave great in-depth as to what she was going to talk about. Although I found the first couple chapters to be a little confusing, I particularly enjoyed the foreword. I believe it made the reading mean more from the start instead of trying to figure out what the authors intentions were throughout the reading like we have done throughout most of our readings.
Once I finally caught a grasp on what was actually going on I really began to enjoy this book. I am not particularly into ghost stories and what not but I found that it really helps to portray what I believe Morrison is trying to exemplify through writing this novel. For instance when Morrison describes how the two boys even ran away from the house because it was haunted, I found that Morrison showed weakness in men / boys through this scene.
This novel is written in feminine text and I found it to be easy to relate to. We have read a couple feminine texts throughout our readings and I found myself being able to relate to this one the most. I found this to be true mostly because Morrison’s style of writing seems to connect very closely with the contemporary issues of sexism.
