1919 Crazy Shadrack

Sula has grabbed my attention entirely. I felt like the farmer feed false lies to the worker because the farmer did not want to give the worker useful land. The Bottom in Sula has opened my perspective of how African-American race were treated by the white folk in Medallion. The Bottom was considered poverty for the African American race. I find it ironic that the hills looks down upon the white folks but in reality the white folk look down on the African American. National Suicide day is interesting because why would you make a day to kill yourself. that seems redundant because you are going to die anyway why take a day out of your schedule to die, when you can do something useful with your time. I have mixed feelings because Shadrack, who created National Suicide Day, uses the day to heal from the traumatize experience he had in war. Also I wonder what smell Shadrack thought as painful because the book did not describe the smell. Right now I feel sympathy for Shadrack because no one really knows what he has been through, so no one can help him. That has leads him to self destruction when he came back from the war, and from there he just went downhill from that point.
