Intensity
I never actually enjoyed reading books in elementary and middle school. This may have occurred because I have never found the “right” book for me. All the books I read were chosen by the teachers.

Intensity, however, would change that feeling in

Interpretation of "recitatif" by Toni Morrison
“Recitatif”, by Toni Morrison, is a profound narrative that I believe is meant to invite readers to search for a buried connotation of the experiences that the main characters, Twyla and Roberta, face as children and as they are reunited as adults. Some of the story’s values and meanings involving race, friendship and abandonment begin to emerge as the plot thickens; however, more messages become hidden and remain unrecognized, even until the very last sentence.
