Sth, I know that woman. She used to live with a flock of birds on Lenox Avenue. Know her husband, too. He fell for an eighteen-year-old girl with one of those deepdown, spooky loves that made him so sad and happy he shot her just to keep the feeling going. When the woman, her name is Violet, went to the funeral to see the girl and to cut her dead face they threw her to the floor and out of the church. She ran, then, through all that snow, and when she got back to her apartment she took the birds from their cages and set them out the windows to freeze or fly, including the parrot that said, “I love you.”
- Jazz by Toni Morrison

should think about - 1) Symbols (Roses, Names, Black Box, places);
Characters (Miss Strangeworth, Tessie Hutchinson); Themes - traditions,
the meaning of home, appearance vs reality. Finally we are going to look at a syntax primer and work with types of sentences, parallelism,
sentence length and all various writing exercises to get you ready for
writing your personal narratives. We will be working on this for the
