Gone With the Wind. P 900-1025
Frank doesnt really like that Scarlett is in charge of the business aspect of running a business. She is the only woman in Atlanta to be in charge of a business herself. Frank starts to feel that if she had a baby to worry about, she wouldnt be able to focus so much on the business. Scarlett is money crazed though, and believes that making money will make anything possible for her. Scarlett ends up having a baby and needs to find someone who she trust that will run her business for her while she takes care of the baby and does things around the house. She beginnings seeing Rhett quite often and the two of them get drinks together to help calm her with everything is going on in her life. Then when she is very stressed, she gets news from Tara that her father has passed away. After the funeral, Will explains that Suellen may have been the reason for Geralds death. She had tricked him into signing papers with the Union and after he has torn them up, he rode off on his horse and fallen when he tried to jump the fence like he used to do. Will also goes on to tell her that he plans on marrying Suellen so he can stay at Tara forever. At the funeral Will tells everyone of his plans to marry to help lighten the mood. After the funeral Scarlett offers Ashely half of the mill to run, and although he refused to take it, Melanie learns of it and tells him he must accept. After Scarlett has had the baby, frank doesnt want her to go back to the mill because the streets of Atlanta are getting dangerous. She hires convicts to work at the mill and to get things done. To her surprise, one of them seems to do better work than what Ashley does. There is much activity going on in Atlanta, and the boys go out one night in part of the KKK. When they come back, Frank is not with them and they tell Scarlett that he was shot in the head. Rhett jumps on this and asked Scarlett to marry him. She says yes and they marry and go to New Orleans. The two go on to have a rich lifestyle and Scarlett becomes pregnant. She wants to get an abortion, but Rhett tells her its too dangerous for her and so she has the baby, Bonnie, and Rhett falls in love with it. As Bonnie grows, Rhett works to regain popularity with society so that Bonnie has the right life. Bonnie ends up dieing in a horse accident, and it causes alot of fighting with Rhett and Scarlett. Then Melanie dies. Scarlett realizes that she doesnt love Ashley and only wants Rhett, but he says that he is done with loving her anymore. He also replies that he doesnt give a damn about what she feels. He then leaves Scarlett.
