Beloved Chapter 2

Bellringer: (write #1)  If you experienced a pattern of losing loved one's in the prime of your - like Baby Suggs, who had nearly all or her eight children sold into slavery, or Sethe, who lost a child and a husband - what psychological means or coping methods might you adopt to carry on? How might your past experiences of loss affect your ability - for better or worse - to relate to others? 

Write #2: Morrison presents trees in a variety of ways.  What are some of the different possible interpretations of the significance of the various tree references? Are they related in any way(s) or does each reference stand alone either literally or metaphorically/symbolically?

Discuss within small groups and discuss your individual questions

HW: I will be out tomorrow. You must read and annotate in class tomorrow (35 minutes); finish chapters 34-59 for Friday.  Tomorrow, you might also do an AP practice reading passage. (15 minutes)
