Chapter 1 & 2

Though I have already read the book, I've forgotten many details of the plot. After reading the first chapter, I can only imagine the culture shock Toloki must have experienced. I also am very interested in who the sciolist is. I don't understand why he keeps abandoning Toloki either. I don't like the character of Toloki. I don't really know why exactly but something about him kind of annoys me. I liked chapter two a lot more than chapter one. I liked learning of the plantation and the Abyssinian Queen and her children. It's sick how the slaves were used to quench the sexual desires of the plantation owners. Reading about the quilts, I found it interesting that the Abyssinian Queen actually made the quilts into a map of the plantation and a quilt that had patterns that gave advice to the slaves that knew what the symbols meant.
