Summary 1: "Prologue," "The River,"and "The Fire."
The story "Kindred" written by Octavia E. Butler is starting from the prologue and I can see that Dana lost her hand and police took Kevin to jail because they thought he hurt her. She was telling them that wasn’t Kevin’s fault but her own. The police released Kevin from jail but he still lied because they would not believe what really happened. In the content “The River” all happened when Dana had twenty-six birthdays and it was the first time when she met Rufus. She traveled to 1815 year when it was a slavery time. She heard screaming of a young boy who was drowning in the lake. She helped Rufus as fast as she could because he would die. His mother saw everything and she was screaming at Dana because she thought that she wants to kill him but Dana just wanted him to be alive. The young boy’s father came with a gun and was turning to the way where Dana was sitting. She was afraid that he could kill her and she transferred to the year of 1976. She told everything to her husband Kevin but he didn’t believe her because that was impossible to transfer in years. Her second visit in Maryland happened in the content of “The Fire” because Rufus was in danger. She saw Rufus sitting with the fire and the cloth was also in fire. She throws it all out of the room because he could fire himself. After she helped him, they were talking and Dana was asking him questions and Rufus also had few questions for Dana. Dana went to her ancestor’s home and something bad happened to her when she came to the Alice’s house. She went outside of the house and the patroller grabbed her and started to hit her. She was very scared and transferred to the time where she lived as free person. Kevin was really confused what is happening with Dana because it was the second time when she disappears and it was longer than the first time.

Summary 2: "The Fall."
In the second content of Octavia's Butler book is "The Fall" that starts with Dana's and Kevin's work. They work in the same job casual labor agency as Dana and most people call the work slave market. They didn't have a lot of money so Dana needed the job even working as a slave. When Kevin wanted to go to the library Dana started to transfer to 19 century and she didn't want Kevin to leave her. Kevin was holding her to go with her but she didn't want him there because she was scared that something could happen to him. She opened her eyes and she was laying under a tree with Kevin. Her husband, Kevin didn't believe that's all is true until he came with Dana. At first she was looking for Rufus and she found him laying on the ground. He had broken leg and he couldn't walk because he fall from a tree. Dana and Kevin walked him to his house. Kevin told everyone that Dana is his slave because it will be better for Dana. Dana was working in the cookhouse and Kevin was teaching Rufus at his house. Kevin didn't want Dana to work but she had too because everyone would be looking at her and talking about her. He just cared about Dana and wanted her in the Weylin's house with him to be together and not wanted her out of the attic room. she was confused with that proposition because Margaret would be angry at Dana. After a while Margaret saw Dana going out of Kevin's room and she shouted and coursed at her that is a christian house. Margaret never liked Dana even when Dana saved her son Rufus. Dana started to teach Rufus, Nigel and also Carrie to know how to write and read. When Dana was teaching Nigel and Carrie the door from the cookhouse opened and Tom Weylin saw Dana reading. she got beating from him just because she was reading the book and no know could control him because Kevin was in Weylins house and he didn't hear anything after a moment Dana disappeared and transferred alone to 20 Century

Summary 3: "The Fight."
In Octavia's Butler book "Kindred" the chapter "The Fight" starts with Dana's memory of Kevin and her marriage and what their family think about them. Both Dana's and Kevin's family didn't want them to marry because Dana was black skin and Kevin was white skin but they still get married. The house was empty in her own apartment because Kevin stayed in the past. Dana couldn't move because everything was hurting her because Weylin whipped her very badly. She had been at home for eight days and she knew that is the time to going back to the past to find her husband Kevin.

All the time she was just thinking about Kevin and she wanted to get help from Rufus to find him. On the fifth day they found Isaac and Alice. the brought her back to Weylins house. Alice was very weak and she didn't remember anything about her past. Rufus was enjoying it because he loved Alice. Dana was for her like mother because she was taking care of her now. She wanted to disappear to the future with Kevin because she hated to live in the past as a slave. Alice was much better after a few weeks and she knew that people were not telling her the whole truth about her husband Isaac so Dana finally told her something. She hated Rufus and just wanted to kill him. After a while Rufus told Dana to tell Alice that he wants her tonight in his room. She had to go because she could be whipped and then raped. Alice found out that Rufus didn't send any letters that Dana wrote to Kevin because he didn't want Dana to leave again from him.

In the Chapter "The Storm" by Octavia Butler in the "Kindred" I can see that Dana and Kevin came back to the future. Kevin is really confused and forgot how to use some things in their house. He is very bad for Dana and want to be alone in his room but later he gets used to the life that they come from. Dana puts things into her bag for next adventure to the past.

Nigel helped them to get Rufus to his house. Tom Weylin wanted Dana to take care of Rufus to help him get better. Rufus was really sick and Dana didn't know how to help him. She thought that the sickness could be malaria and didn't know how to help him. Dana met Alice and she is still with Rufus and they have son named Joe. After three days Rufus got better but Tom Weylin got worse because he had pain in his chest. Dana wanted to help him as much as she could but his father died. Rufus thought that he died because of Dana and send her working on the field because as Rufus thought Dana killed him.

Margaret changed by the time and wanted Dana to take care of her. Dana was divided because Rufus wanted to help him and Margaret Weylin wanted her to take care of her. Alice was desperate and wanted to escape from the plantation because Rufus would never free their children and their own. Dana also was desperate because most slaves were coursing her because they thought that Dana told Rufus to sell one of the slave man. Dana couldn't live there anymore and she took a knife and cut her wrists. In the last chapter "The Rope" she was laying on her own bed in her apartment. He told Kevin that Hagar, her ancestor has been finally born. After fifteen days together with Kevin she started to feel dizzy and it was the last time that she saw Rufus. He was very mad and sad, his eyes were red and then he walked her to see Alice. She was hanging by the neck. She did all by herself because Rufus told her that he sold their children because she run off. She couldn't live that way without Joe and Hagar and that's why she killed herself. In real he didn't sell their children but he just said to her like that to scare her. He send them to Baltimore and Dana told him to bring them back on the plantation and free them. He listen to her and wanted Dana to take care of Joe and Hagar. Rufus liked Dana or even loved her but she always ignored him.
