Really this is my favorite blog about the slavery.These representations I wanted to put in my anterior blogs, because  we have many materials and all of them very significances about the novel that Octavia Butler, in her narrative recreation of slavery, has shown the life during the slavery in the life in general, in the plantations and dedicated her novel to teach us about African American slavery.

We  were witness of the abuse, the power and traditional gender roles, mysterious and how the African American Women suffered in that time being slave.

The blog that I'm not to proud, but that impressed me was when Dana being good educated black, strong woman was obligated to go and see the life in the plantations and slavery, how the kids were taking out from their mother and sell them and send to other place, where they had another master and exposed to the abuses, cruelty, ignorance, limitations and have to server to white man only because he was white and other was his slave, or because he was a "nigger"that they usually call them. Also another act of repudiation was when the slaves where whipped,insulted, slapped in special the women were treated as animals.

All of them  accepted the situation because they didn't have another choice, they didn't receive any education. The slaves were victim of that kind of abuses from their masters and the system itself. Verbal abuses, psychology, emotional, fiscal and the most cruel daily brutal act,  was taking the kids from the their mothers and send them to another plantations.

I consider that we have learned many things reading this fiction novel. The way how we were encouraged by you,  to read and enjoy each act, in natural way that you did. Also to think about how many slaves are now in our society, that they are treated with crudely  and terror. Maybe we are slave, but in different ways, it is another time,  and other circumstances, but we have systems that we are absorbed us and some people are abused by their "masters".

I learned also from my classmate that they are very smart and all of them did a excellent job, each other understand the concept of the novel and the massages that Octavia Butler wanted to transmit through the story.and how she developed and put the right characters to play the life as salve.
The slaver systems have been managements and controlled by white people who, through the abuse or tyranny,oppression have specially black people to work for them, for a few benefits or in very difficult way of live,also the relations interracial es that we can notice in this novel. Kindred was a great opportunity that Octavia Butler showed us all the contrasts of life in the plantations and the differences of cultures, the ignorance of all slaves.

The abuse, degradation, humiliation,they were to whipping for so little or without reason,all of the salves were expose a all kind of abuses.  The women had to give their kids to the master and be sold.  All of this things made the Kindred a spectacular novel in 1979 when was its first publication.

Looking back at Kindred

Dana, Alice and Sarah 

                               http://lesasbookcritiques.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html

1.  Like Butler's mother, Sarah, Alice and Dana are forced to endure constant exploitation an degradation to survive and to allow others to survive. Taking Fowler's definition of heroins into account.

Dana was a strong  and educated e independent black woman, who got married with white men, it was unusual couple in1976, and less acceptable in1819.
When she thought that she had everything, appeared Rufus in her life and pulled her to the past to protect his life. She was obligated to see the horrors of living and being a slave, being Rufus's obsessive way to treat her. But Dana had the encourage to see the worst life and the slavery world.
She was whipped, slapped, insulted and humiliated, she was treated like a real slave. But she resisted everything with dignity and face the felt compassion for all the people who lived around her, how they were treated, and forced to live in slavery. Dana felt great pain for the slaves, not because they were salves and black, also because they are human beings.

Also when Dana was in the Weylin's house she knew Alice, Sarah and they were living in the Tom Weylin house. Sarah was who thought  Dana to cook, gave some advances about how work in the plantations. She show her the real face of being slave, how hard was living in the slavery fields, how the kids were separated from their mother to be sold by masters, how the families were spread out and how they lived accepting the kind of life. Sarah had good hard and convinces Dana not kill Rufus, she is very sweet and compassionate woman. Her daughter  Carrie is mute, she lived with her because she can  be sold for her defect.

Alice was a Rufus's  Childhood friend, but he didn't want her as a friend,he wanted her his wife, but she got married with another slave his name was Isaac Jackson, and treated to run away with him, because Rufus didn't like him, so he wanted Alice too,but they were caught, and Rufus sent Isaac to the South and Alice was bought by him, she was forced to be a slave, Rufus was obsessive with her, and wanted her to do whatever he wanted, she have only affection.  She has four kids with him,and this is the power she has over him but she wanted to run away, he was angry and sent the kids away, and made her feel very bad the kids well be sold, she was deeply but he children were near. Rufus made this to Alice because she looked to Dana  and he was obsessive with one of his ancestors specially with Dana. Alice was beat, raped and mentally and psychologically and degraded by her master.

Butler put in his novel to this three ladies, Sarah, Alice and Dana, to show how each one in their fields were heroins and great examples. As her self was obligated to work very hard since she was 10 years old in many jobs. All of this endured her after many years of sacrifices and built in her the characteristics of the hero.
The same way Butler described and made the novel as a example of putting in  Dana, Sarah, Alice's life as a sacrifices and showed how they became heroins.
Dana being a black woman educated, strong that was living in plantations and doing and being treated as never, Sarah as good mother  that with her sweeter love knew how to gain the Dana's love and working in the slavery with resignation and taking care of her mute daughter,and finally Alice was a victim of Rufus that he wanted to retain her and took her children. She loved her kids and had to support all of this.
