Jaegyum: Hey Jaeyi, I was reading a bit of this book my mom has, it's called "Beloved." It seems kind of sad.

Jaeyi: "Beloved"? What's it about? Is it a ghost story?

Jaegyum: Sort of, but it's about more than just ghosts. It's about people who used to be slaves and how hard it was for them even after they were free. There's this one lady, Sethe, and something really bad happened to her baby.

Jaeyi: That sounds scary! What happened?

Jaegyum: Well, it's complicated. But this ghost of her baby comes back to haunt her house. It's like the sadness and the bad memories are so strong they become like a real ghost.

Jaeyi: So the ghost is "Beloved"?

Jaegyum: Yeah, that's the baby's name. It's like the past is always there with them, and it hurts them. The book talks about how unfair slavery was and how it messes people up even after it ends.

Jaeyi: That sounds really heavy. Like, even if you escape, the bad things that happened still stay with you?

Jaegyum: Exactly! It's like they're carrying a heavy weight of sadness and fear. The ghost of Beloved is kind of like that weight. It reminds them of all the terrible things they went through.

Jaeyi: Wow. That makes you think about how important it is to be kind and fair to everyone, right? So that nobody has a really sad ghost following them.

Jaegyum: Yeah, I think that's part of it. The book is sad, but it also makes you think about how strong people can be, even when they've been through really awful things.
