    Your response for week three was a pleasure to read. I agree with your opinion, in which Twyla and Roberta became friends despite their differences, because there was a lack of community among the other girls. Throughout the story of Twyla and Roberta’s friendship, I believe the main idea Morrison wanted to reveal were the racial issues present during the Civil rights movements. The issues present throughout 1954-1968 included segregation in regards to race and religion.

He was tougher than the rest of us — tougher, colder, meaner.” (10) The gang thinks of Dally as a cold and bitter person.
