- ... to kill her baby girl rather than allowing her to be exposed to the physically, emotionally, and spiritually oppressive horrors of a life spent in slavery. Sethe's action is indisputable: She has killed her child. Sethe's motivation is not so clearly defined. By killing her "Beloved" child, has Sethe acted out of true love or selfish pride? The fact that Sethe's act is irrational can easily be decided upon. Does Sethe kill her baby girl because she wants to save the ... is clear that Sethe believes that her actions were morally justified.

- 757: Television Is Ideally a Tool
- ... need a tool to familiarize them with the outside world, something that won’t scare them, but rather inform them. Too much television can be very harmful to anyone. A portion of television, for a child, can be used as a great tool. If a kid were to watch approximately three and half-hours everyday, this cure for boredom could start to become a bad influence. You should have a heavy persuasion on the content. Letting your child watch television for more than two hours without any breaks, can also be harmful.
