The way Pearl was speaking to her mother in chapter 16 in the scene with them both having a conversation in the woods really hit me hard with her use of vocabulary when speaking about the Black Man. It was a little scary just thinking about how a young girl who knows so little about the world speak about the Black Man and how she was repeating the story she heard about it coming to you with a big heavy book with iron clasps and how it tells you to write your name inside the book with an iron pen with your own blood. Like no normal child would talk about this subject. Rather, a normal kid would be scared and frightened and wouldn't want to talk about it but Pearl, with her abnormal self, continues to continue to get deeper in the conversation with her mother. It really tells us how Pearl is just a freighting human with a tremendous amount of curiosity within her.
Another thing that came into my mind is a comparison with my book I have read called "The Slender Man" and how the creature in this book live in the forest also along with the Black Man. Now we can assume the Black Man is the devil or something in that nature or based off of my preference, can be a similar creature as the Slender Man.
This chapter to me really has me thinking and questioning about Pearl and the outcome of her weird self because of the fact that she is somewhat in a sense "related" to this thing referring back to the previous chapters on how she was claimed as the "demon-child." I don't know about you guys, but I just really want to know what is the outcome of her phenomenon with the philological indifference is.
