This book is heartbreaking, and beautifully written. The long descriptions of people's lives add to the meaning and message to the story. They could have easily taken away from the plot,but they always added to it in the end. The way that Toni Morrison vividly creates the atmosphere of racism. You see how it all adds up to one girls life. How someone's entire life adds up to one moment. 
 "Adults,older girls, shops, magazines, newspapers, window signs-all the world hadagreed that a blue-eyed,yellow haired, pink-skinnedx doll was what every girl treasured." 
 The book show how important diversity in media is. And how so many people suffered from horrible racism. 
 "She would only see what there was to see: the beauty of other people."
