Chapters 1 & 2

During my reading, I was confused about what was going on in the first couple pages. After that though I felt like I could relate to Toloki because he was experiencing Halloween in Athens for the first time like I did last fall. He also talked about specific paces at Ohio University which I could familiarize myself with. I thought the story about the ghost of Nicodemus was an interesting twist as well. I also thought that the idea that some quilts had slave escape routes hidden in their designs was very interesting.
