this book is timeless in the way it tackles issues that are specially relevant in 2026:
beauty and conformity.
morrison answers this (i feel like) by telling her readers to have a strong self identity. be authentic to yourself.
pilate from song of solomon embodied this and i strive to be like her everyday.
i like how the north symbolizes the fleeing of one’s identity and then creating a worse superficial identity.

hearing pauline’s (chollys) backstory is fascinating and tragic.
morrison seems to be building the foundation as to why pecola is the way she is, and why vanity is ultimately destructive. whether it’s through looks or status.
i see morrison projecting through pauline, specifically highlighting the idea that trying to fit in will not benefit oneself. being individualistic and chasing that dream is most important

Just got to the last section, summer. The last few pages of spring were tough. The writing is brilliant, no surprise with Toni Morrison holding the pen.
