Sula’s End.
One thing that I can not stand is when a book does not excite me at all. That would sum up Sula for me. There was no action. It did not feel like there was rising and falling action or ending kind of feeling. I had no connection to this book at all. It was really predictable and that annoyed me.
Questions about the end could be why did everyone else see a rose above Sula’s head and Shadrach saw a tadpole? I know he’s at one with the fishing realm but it’s very strange. Secondly why in every book we read does someone want to mutilate their lover. I think it was Sula who wanted to pull
Ajax skin off him to see if he was the color underneath that she expected. Crazy woman! Another question is
Plum really talking to her about Chicken Little because no one else was around her that knew. Eva did not see it so how can this be explained? I know she and Sula were one but that doesn’t mean it was Nel’s fault. I agree she should have done something though.
Sula was out of control. I wonder on what planet that it is okay to sleep with your best friend’s man and think its okay? Sula had something seriously wrong with her. Just because you shared everything doesn’t mean men are included. It sounds horrible but I think Sula got what she deserved when
Ajax left her. She got a taste of her own medicine.

Dawn, I most certainly agree that Sula got what she deserved when Ajax left her. Sula had been sleeping with various different men without having any feelings attached what so ever. When she found Ajax, her feelings changed. She actually found someone she started to actually care about; however, when she began to change the way how she used to act and became more domestic, Ajax was not pleased. He left Sula and she was very upset. I did not feel bad about this because Sula got a taste of her own medicine. She had slept with guys and then left them and this time she was the person who got dumped.
