1941- Since you've been gone...

Sula is dead, and everyone is acting a fool. The people from the bottom just felt like since she was gone then they no longer had to care for their family. Since she died they believe no one was in danger of getting hurt, cheated on, or killed. I think this is ridiculous, these people should love and cherish their family with or without Sula around. Shadrack is really emotional about Sula's death. He felt as if she was his only friend. When she walked down the street he would tip his hat at her.... even when he didn't have on a hat. She dropped her belt is his house, he kept it and hung it up. That is really creepy to me, because he's a lot older than her. I think he may have had an actual crush on her, and that's why he's so broken up about her death. In our class discussion today we went back to 1940 and we were trying to decide if Nel was insecure and why. We established the fact that she is.
