Eggs

In Chapter 5 the "fried egg" conversation between Milkman and Guitar (pgs.115-116) reminded me of when Pilate in Chapter 2 talked about how to make a perfect soft-boiled egg (pgs. 39-40). Do you think that the eggs symbolize something or is it a coincidence?

Chapter Five: WHAT IS GOIN' ON?

So this last week we have to have read chapter 5. There were many things that were extremely strange but one that particularly struck me as a WTF (WTF- Why the Face (As in my face when I read this chapter)) moment was when Milkman was so chill about being murdered. In the first part of the chapter, he is with Guitar and he is so calm. What is goin' on?

The Weary Blue

Following up our discussion in class about this poem, I am kinda curious why some of us think that the narrator is a white guy?

Langston Hughes

I know this was on our homework worksheet but I was curious to find out which Hughes poem was your favorite.
