        <description><![CDATA[In the novel "Kindred" by Octavia Butler, Dana is a Black woman shifting back and forth in time.  She soon realizes that when she is "called" back in time it is to rescue a boy, and later an adult, Rufus Weylin.  Rufus is a spoiled boy that seems to try and please Dana because he knows that she will "come" when he is in trouble.  As an adult, Rufus is "erratic, alternately generous and vicious."  He lies when necessary and tells people...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The only place where the slaves felt safe, and which Dana herself refered to as the "safehouse" for slaves was the cookhouse. In the cookhouse, the slaves felt free to talk to each other and speak about whatever they wanted. In there, they also ate and shared. Dana would use that place also to read and teach the little one to read. Aside from the cookhouse, the only other place she felt safe was the attic, where she slept with the other...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[This question is difficult to answer in a true or false way.  Yes, Mrs. Weylin always foregave Rufus and spoiled him.  Yes, Dana forgave him most of the time, but at the end she did not forgive him.  She killed him.  Mrs. Weylin gave into Rufus because he was her son and during that era nothing was more honored by a southern woman than to have given her husband a male offspring.  Dana gave into Rufus and went back to him time after time...]]></description>
