Sula’s absence also causes people to behave differently. The frost ruins crops, keeps people from work, and brings sickness to the population. The hopes are cut short, however, when a storm ices over the entire neighborhood. There is also news that a new nursing home will be built and will be open to blacks like Eva who were forced to stay in the decrepit Beechnut Home. Firstly, there is word that Blacks will be hired to work on the construction of a tunnel intended to connect Medallion and Porter’s landing. After her death, people begin to feel a new hope which is initially confirmed by a series of events that occur immediately after Sula’s death. Sula is placed into the ground in the colored section of the Beechnut cemetery. Some others attend to make sure that those who disliked Sula do not ruin the ceremony. A few people attend her funeral to be sure that she is dead. The people are pleased to find out about Sula’s death.
