Blog Post 9: Pilate...like Pilot

Milkman is drawn over to Pilate's house because his father forbade him from being there and even from seeing her. As kids, when we are forbidden from doing things, we usually want to do it and see what is wrong with it. We want to break rules by nature. He had been warned by his dad for a long time but his interest of wanting to be there, lead him there. He was curious of how his aunt really was after hearing stories about her. "All those unbelievable but entirely possible stories about his father's sister-the woman his father had forbidden him to go near-had both of them spellbound. Neither wished to live one more day without finding out the truth, and they believed they were the legitimate and natural ones to do so. After all, Guitar already knew her, and Milkman was her nephew." (Morrison 36) Milkman and Guitar observed how Pilate was. "She was the one who was ugly, dirty, poor, and drunk." (Morrison 37) They described her appearance as "Bright orange she was peeling". When they got there, they seemed a bit nervous but as they kept the conversation going, they got a bit more trust with her. When Milkman is at home, he is quite, kind of shy because his dad is around. When he goes into Pilate's house, he starts to loosing up a bit and starts to be a bit more comfortable  around Pilate. Pilate is a kind of person who really does not care how she looks likes or in what conditions she lives in. Her house has no furniture inside of it other than the things already installed, the table, and chairs.
