Tone and Dittmar...

The one part in the book that I thought was interesting was when it shows almost a diary entry when Morrison writes about Pauline. In this passage, which is quite intense, It talks about the relationship between Pauline and Cholly. Dittmar says, "Pauline's description on her lovemaking with Cholly is one of this novel's extraordinary passages." (pg. 14 of course packet). I find this to be true because she talks about a passionate night when they were first married, then the last paragraph states, "But it ain't like that anymore." (pg 131). This kills the mood Morrison has set, and in-hand changes the tone.
