Morrison illustrates problems that

    Given the preceding events which very well could have claimed my life, I am mighty relieved to not only scrawl out this lousy note, but to feel breath in these old lungs at all. I’d once thought to go out to sea and prod through the scattered isles; as Shakespeare found his passion in writing sonnets, I’d thought I’d found my lost love in the sea’s outstretching waters.

Her table was a strategic choice; far from, but angled towards, the door- a perfect position to watch for any man that had the slightest potential to be CA152. Talking to a stranger and daring to meet the man and be nervous about it, there was some silliness in that. Waiting at a table alone, with a rose as identification felt completely silly to Veronica

She does this in a way to tease the reader then having the Dick and Jane story run in to one long sentence like it was flowing down the drain and so too Pecola’s perfect family.
