Dialogue of 140-142 "The Bluest Eye"

The dialogue of that entire passage is pretty long but I think the point of it shows how many voices can contribute to the same story and mix in together. Like the narrator said "The creamy conversation fascinated him" probably due to how voices mixed together so smoothly even though we really don't know the identity of the people talking which would sometimes be chaotic because we don't know who they are exactly. It also shows how smooth the transition in conversations can go as well because first they were talking about the cause of death, to thread, to Essie's feelings and so forth but I believe what is also important is the speculations that go on that can cause a child's mind to wander on as well, especially when the people talking were speculating on the cause of Aunt Jimmy's death.
