        <description><![CDATA[Robert Smith is introduced to us at the beginning of the story.  In chapter one of &quot;Song of Solomon&quot; we learn that Robert Smith is an insurance salesman and a member of the Seven Days.  He is a man who really demonstrates one of the ongoing themes of this novel which is the idea of flying or flight.  Robert has  “wide blue silk wings” and goes to the top of Mercy hospital and jumps to his death because he believes he can...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Corinthians has difficulty finding a job because she isn't qualified to do anything.  &quot;She is light in skin color, and has no real skills. She is a delicate-appearing ornament. She is “enlightened in education” so that she is “able to contribute to the civilization” or “civilizing of her (backward) community.” In this ironic tone, the narrator equates a liberal arts education at what she considers to be an uppity rich white...]]></description>

The purpose of the navel is the reminisce of the umbilical cord a mode of survival and she had no need of it. I did not see this as a supernatural significance.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I believe she has no navel because she serves more as a goddess, rather than a human.  She has some ineresting abilities as well, such as being able to change her shape and her voice when necessary.  She is a myth.  Her name is surely a play on words. In reference to the Pilate from the bible, as she is responsible for her own mother's death, but more importantly, she is Milkman's pilot, his spiritual guide assisting him on his journey to...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Morrison says she writes in order to show her readers the viewpoint of African Americans. She thinks &quot;black people have a story, and that story has to be heard.&quot; She categorizes her novels as &quot;village literature&quot; because they reflect &quot;old values&quot; and not &quot;urban values&quot;. In her effort to restore the heritage of black culture, Morrison uses black oral history and myth. This novel begins on Morrison's...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Milkman's father, Macon, has told him to stay away from Pilate because she is a bad woman. However, he disobeys and does go to see her. She tells him a story of what happened when she was twelve years old. Her father was shot one day, and she ran away. She and Macon hid in a cave, which was already occupied by an old white man. Out of fear, Macon killed the man. They discovered that the man had a stash of gold, and Macon wanted to take it,...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I would say that Morrison used such a strong array of sexual imagery in the novel for several reasons. First, passion in general plays a strong role in all of Morrison's work, and sexual desire is a powerful passion. Second, there is a longstanding stereotype about Black sexuality, and I think Morrison is playing against and exploding that stereotype. Another way she's writing as a Black writer is by writing about how the African-American...]]></description>
