Answer any 2 of the 5 questions below.

1) Which of the 3 writers were you most drawn too for today? Maya Angelou, Toni Morrison, or Alice Walker? Try to explain why and perhaps quote a passage from the text.

2) Can you relate any of the themes or images in the writing of one of these writers to another other writer we have read at any point in the semester? Do so in the space below and try to quote the texts that you compare.

3) In Toni Morrison's "Recitatif" we meets the characters Twyla and Roberta. Toni Morrison never explicitly tells us the races of the two characters. How did this impact your reading of the story? What are Twyla and Roberta's races or can you say for sure? If you can tell, then how can you tell?

4) How do you feel about Dee? Do you sympathize with her desire to "improve" herself and her family? Why does Mrs. Johnson decide to stand up to Dee and not allow her to take the quilts at the end of the story?

5) We opened the class with Angelou's "Human Family" back in week one as a sort of theme for a class on American Literature. Was this poem a good fit or is there another work that best sums up the many voices that we have encountered this semester.
