Gone With The Wind #4

Scarlett went back to Tara because the Yankees were coming in Atlanta. Melanie had her baby, I believe she named it Beau. Scarlett must have been pretty upset that Melanie and Ashley slept together. Scarlett thought that she still had a chance with him but when she found out that Melanie was pregnant, she was unhappy. She always wanted to have Ashley's baby, a little version of him. Although Scarlett has a child of her own but she is mean to Wade maybe because its Charles baby. She doesn't even take care of him. Sometimes I forget that he really exists. Well, when she came back to Tara it was really a sad moment because on the day that she came, yesterday her mom died. If she came back the day before she would have spent her last moments with her. Also her father is kind of losing it because of his wife dying. In the beginning of the book I sort of didn't like Scarlett but now she is kind of cool. A Yankee came inside the house so he can steal some things. Scarlett heard noises and grabbed a gun, I guess she was not going to let him take anything without a fight. When she saw him he holding her mother's sewing box, without hesitation she shot him. He didn't even have a chance to touch his gun. Then Melanie came by and she had a saber. Melanie and Scarlett had the same idea to kill the man. I think it was good that Scarlett killed him because he was carrying a wallet. It had alot of money and that would help them survive, also he had a horse. After a while they had a plentiful amount of food. Pork was starting to steal for the family. I think that is pretty brave of him to steal, so he can help the family. When I continued reading I thought everything was going to be fine then Yankees came to the house. Scarlett was really brave and a leader. Once she found out the Yankees are coming she ordered everyone to take any animals, food, money down to the swamp. Everyone left and Scarlett was alone with Wade and the baby. They came and was taking everything right in front of her. They even took the gold thimble of Scarlett's mother. That was heartbreaking, if that was me would of said to put that back. They even wanted to take Charles saber. She spoke up and the guy gave it back to her. I would never want to be in her place because they were taking Charles saber and everything that they own. They don't care if was a memory of a person. They would take anything so they can make money. The only thing they did not take was the money in the wallet. Scarlett put that in the baby's diaper.
