Poetic response to Morrison

              Many authors like to use poetic quotes or just parts in there novels. To me it helps bring out the main concepts of the story and theme. Reading the poetic parts of the story helps me imagine me being part of the story. It helps expand my critical thinking to understand what is really going on in the story. Making each section a season has helped me  imagine that I am going through them with the characters in the story. It helps me imagine that I am facing the things that they are going through.
           There was one part in the Winter season that I felt was very poetic. The quote from this part was when Frieda and Claudia were walking away from Pecola after they said goodbye.
  "We walked away quickly at first, and then slower, pausing every now and then to fasten garters, tie showlaces, scratch, or examine old scars. We were sinking under the wisdom, accuracy, and relevance of Maureen's last words. If she was cute-- and if anything could be believed, she was-- then we were not".  
            To me this is poetic because it is showing how the girls were feeling after listening to Maureen basically belittle them. They felt that they were less then nothing. It was as if they were nothing compared to anything else.
