Hello all,

I apologize these questions are so late.

Thank you for understanding.  See you in a few days!

Recitatif

1.  From the clues provided by the narrator, how do you figure out the race and class backgrounds of the two main characters, Twyla and Roberta?  Why do you think Toni Morrison presents this in the way she does?

Sonny's Blues

1.  Francis "had not developed his memory as a sentimental faculty."  Why is memory important in this story?  What kinds of memories do people try to ignore and what kinds of memories actually do surface in the story?
