Due at the End of Class -
Please make sure you have thoroughly answered the questions. Remember to post on the blog (FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS).
We Will View Your Projects On Wednesday. You may leave them with Ms. Alfaro in ESSM if you have them with you today.
1. How is love presented throughout these (13 – 15) chapters?
Refer to pages 306, 315, 319, 323, 336. What is it that Morrison wants us to think about?
2. Summarize the story of Solomon, as told by Mrs. Byrd. Now
consider the last line of the story
on page 337: “For now he knew what Shalimar knew: If you
surrendered to the air, you could ride
it.” What is the connection between Solomon’s story and the
last line? Discuss the pronoun
shift. What does it mean to
surrender? What is the air? What does it mean to “ride” it?
3. Trace one of the following
motifs as it develops through the text: ginger, money/materialism, flying,
peeing on someone, hunger, naming, colors (especially white and gold), roots -What
is the significance of this motif in the novel? How do you know?-Why does
Morrison include it? How does it add to our understanding?
