[16] Dialogue in The Bluest Eye

The use of Toni Morrison's dialogue in this part of the novel I think is to express how a typical funeral would be. His use of dialogue in this scene seems very natural and realistic to as if a funeral in real life. Everyone is happy, and saying oh how she was a good person, and how she said this, it was a sign, and just like basically faking it all. Like let me put a smile on my face that someones dead and talk about only good things that they did, and keep repeating how she was a good person. I think Morrison's use of dialogue is to show this traditional view of how life is. Like its a tradition to be nice and say that the person who died at a funeral was a good person. So his dialogue brings up this idea of the word tradition and things being original.
