        <description><![CDATA[Maggie, &quot;the kitchen woman with legs like parentheses,&quot; is a target of violence and scorn for the &quot;gar-girls&quot; at St. Bonny's. Maggie is significant because she is racially ambiguous--she is &quot;sand-colored&quot; but Roberta calls her &quot;black&quot; while Twyla does not think of her as such. This story is all about racial stereotypes. By making both Twyla and Roberta a &quot;mix&quot; of black and white stereotypes,...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[It is easy to see that you are confused because the story involves the friendship and conflicts of two women, Twyla and Roberta. But, the narrator and main character is Twyla, and since we get events through her perspective, it can be seen that she is the protagonist. Twyla exhibits typical patterns of a protagonist-some type of trauma-which is her abandonment by her mother and time in the orphanage, and some kind of conflict-which would be...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Yes, the word is a form of “recitative.”  The OED gives several definitions, one of which is “A style of musical declamation, intermediate between singing and ordinary speech, commonly employed in the dialogue and narrative parts of operas and oratorios.” A second definition is “The tone or rhythm peculiar to any language” (an obsolete use of the word). Both meanings are pertinent to the story.  First, Twyla’s story that...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I would have to say that Twyla is a girl that was brought up by her mother--to be same what racists, but at the same time she is a strong girl and improves that aspect of her. For example, at begging of the story she refers to Roberta (the African American) as being &quot;smelly,&quot; however she only said this (I think) because of what her mother told her, &quot;that they never washed their hair and that they smelled funny.&quot;...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Twlya is the main character, and the stories narrator.  I think that I would describe her as determined, and a bit hard headed.  She gets into conflicts (such as the busing one and of course her interactions with Roberta) and she is very hard on herself.]]></description>
