Use this space to fill your thoughts while reading Sula. Please don't post end-of-the-book spoilers here, but quotes and "while reading" feelings are fine.
This is a space to be expressive.
If you'd like a few guided questions try the following: -The novel’s dialogue is written in African American Vernacular English. What did this add to the story and your experience of reading it? Why do you think Morrison chose to tell the story in this way? -What was your reaction to Nel and Sula’s reunion and its aftermath? As a reader, did you find yourself taking sides with one character or another? -Think about why Shadrack is in the novel. What role(s) does he play? How would the novel be different if he were not present in the text?
