From the first page of this book I can already tell the complex story plot and the different style from that of Bless Me, Ultima. The constant flashbacks are really confusing, just like the rest of the storyline. It took me a while to catch on Paul D and Sethe's stories and relations from their conversation. I dislike the style the author uses, but I think it gives the book character and is very unique.
             I was very confused about the house being haunted at first, but I believe it is a conflict between the human world and the spirit world. The house shook when Paul D touched Sethe and took him by surprise.

Denver cares for her after she, Sethe, and Paul D came back from a carnival. Beloved only asks for water and sweets in her weak language. However, Beloved, although appeared frail, is able to lift a chair and show her strength. Denver loved caring and tending for Beloved and with her presence, Denver no longer feels alone.
             In Chapter 6, Beloved is obsessed about Sethe's every move and her stories of the past. It seems that Beloved needs Sethe with a frightening intensity. Her need to know stories of Sethe's past is more inclusive than Denver's. Denver wanted to know only stories that concern herself, but Beloved wants to know everything abo
