Ben en fait j'aimerais vos avis sur ce commentaire( intro et annonce de plan uniquement) sur un extrait d'une oeuvre qu'on a lu en anglais spé ( Sula Toni Morrison)
This document is the prologue of Toni Morrison's novel entitled Sula.The story takes place in the small Ohio town of Medallion in the USA more precisely in a neighborhood called the Bottom, where only black people live because of a segregationnist society which forbidds blacks and whites miw in everyday life.
The novel traces the lives of two black girls from their growing up together to their two different choices of womanhood.The one, Nel Wright chooses to stay in the place of her birth, to marry, to raise a family and to become a pillar of the Bottom's black community.The other, Sula Peace submerges herself in city life and when she returns to Medallion it is as e rebel and as a wanton sexual seductress.
Morrison begins the novel with this prologue which foreshadows the changes that will occur throughout the story.
In a first part I will highlight Medallion's interverted world order that already appears in the prologue, and then I will underline the anecdote of the white farmer and his slave which foreshadows the Bottom's black community behaviour in front of segregationnism.
