Toni Morrison's "Beloved": Healing, Recovery And Memory
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Much of Toni Morrison's novel "Beloved" seems to be about one's memory or repression of a traumatic past. While Baby Suggs urges Sethe to "lay down your sword and shield. Don't study war no more," Sethe finds herself so mired in the past that "her brain wasn't interested in the future" (Morrison 70). Freudian theory would have it that we can't be freed from our past until we face it. With that in mind, one can readily surmise that the connection between healing, recovery and memory in "Beloved" is a long and arduous process of painful explication typically found in slave narratives.

Toni Morrison’s “Beloved” -- Comparing Movie to Novel
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses Toni Morrison’s 1987 novel, “Beloved,” and the 1998 screen adaptation of the novel starring Oprah Winfrey. The writer expresses a strong preference for the novel and asserts that the film was not a good adaptation of it. One of Toni Morrison’s great talents as a writer is the way she develops her characters throughout the process of the story she is telling. Each presents himself or herself as an individual in their own right who is about to be irrevocably changed by virtue of the life processes they will encounter. Unfortunately, such depth is neglected in the movie. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

What It Means to Be Black in America, As Described in "The Confessions of Nat Turner" and "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass"
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper which offers a comparative critical analysis of "The Confessions of Nat Turner" and "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass" in the context of James Baldwin's comment that, "All you are ever told in this country about being black is that it is a terrible, thing to be. Now, in order to survive this, you have to really dig down into yourself and re-create yourself, really, according to no image which yet exists to Americans in America. You have to impose, in fact-this may sound very strange-you have to decide who you are, and force the world to deal with you, not with its idea of you." Bibliography lists 2 sources.
