BOOK+COMPARISON

//Beloved// & //Song of Solomon//

- Toni Morrison focuses on a very similar topic to //Beloved// - slavery, black people's lives, etc. - The kind of language: narrative is in a similar style, third person POV, dialogue - She writes about a very controversial...or more of a very specific subject of matter. Main characters are black people. - She really brings out the culture of black Americans - no censorship or efforts to hide something that's either brutal or too biased. She sticks to her true intentions in both books. - Both books consist a picture of black people trying to find their place and identity at this time: although with different approaches, similar goal. - Toni Morrison accentuates names in both books: Beloved & Milkman Dead--they both have a significant meaning to the character's origin & characteristic.
