1965 - She Cries Out for Her

Sula oh Sula. . . 

Since her death...twenty five years has now passed. Things are really changing in the Bottom. Women all still close to their husbands, just as if Sula was still there. This is a good thing though, women should value their marriage not because they fear someone will interfere, but because its what you are supposed to do in a marriage. So things are really coming together in the Bottom...

 

Nel is still though, one of the curious ones. 

She really wants to know more about Eva. I think that she is just so used to hearing rumors in the Bottom about her, so she wants to see for herself what type of person she is.


This turned out to be everything Nel thought it wouldn't. Nel went to the nursing home where Eva was. She was welcomed by Eva with no problem, and out of no where it was like Eva just started to accuse Nel of being the one who killed Chicken Little. I was thinking, "Yeah, Eva is really messed up in the mind." She was saying things that didn't make sense, while she was being an asshole towards Nel; like she kept on saying things about orange juice, while the topic was who killed Chicken Little. Nel tried her best to plead her case, that it was Sula who killed him. Eva didn't listen, she thought they were the same anyway. 

Yes, Nel and Sula...Eva said "whats the difference?"

Nel is really feeling some type of way about this, so she leaves before this argument may have escalated into something much worse. 

As she makes it onto the streets, all she can do is look at flashbacks in her mind. Surprisingly, Nel didn't have a nervous breakdown or anything like that. She sees a lot of her past. She even meets Shadrack as she walked back toward the Bottom. Shadrack knew he had seen her before too. He didn't say a thing though, so they both walked further and further away from each other. I kind of thought Shadrack was going to say something to her for sure.They both just walking, and thinking of the past.

 

 

 The very segregated town of the Bottom, was becoming less racist. Everybody started coming together, and making things better in the community, and also in their lives. I really thought that Shadrack would have been another victim for death, as well as Nel. Although, these two characters remained. I just hope that no one ever comes back in their society that is another "Sula".
