I NEEDED a book that explains grammar rules as funny and clear as this book. I need to own a physical copy of this book to refer to later.
Sula is the type of person a lot of people aspire to be but because she isn’t politically correct and takes what she wants (usually attributes that are afforded to men) she gets a bad reputation. Her friend Neil and the men she bed was the most interesting part of this story. Taking place in a time of segregation and words like “colored” and “whites” were heavily used; I appreciated that Sula did not let her color or her disability define her! She liberated herself without the approval of anyone! She remained strong and resilient (two words that society won’t let black women forget). She is the definition of the mantra “choose me or no one else will.” But with her confidence, her vulnerabilities allowed me to see her a human. I enjoyed reading about the complexities of womanhood from two different women perspectives different and moral standards.
I have never NOT wanted a book to end! Maya Angelou is one of....if not THE best story tellers that I have ever encountered! All of the lessons her mother taught her...I thought I was learning those lessons too! Maya Angelou taught me how to liberate myself and do what’s right!
This book is a collection of some other things she has said in other books but she wrote about how those things are vital life lessons!
I didn’t want this end and I expected more of the last battle. The one one who is both. One to save and destroy!
I need to read the rest of the books in this series. I couldn't put this book down when I read it. I kept thinking to myself! This could happen! At the rate of current administration, I think the setting of this book could definitely happen.
