Oh shit, Twyla. Shit, shit, shit. What the hell happened to Maggie?” (Morrison, 153) …Maggie acts as a disruptive presence to Twyla and Roberta, both of whom, despite suffering early on from maternal abandonment, eventually replicate the conventional burgeois family for themselves. Even as the two women journey toward “normalcy,” the anomalous Maggie stubbornly refuses to disappear. (Stanley, 74) In the first quote above – the last line of “Recitatif” – Roberta anxiously wonders what actually happened to Maggie in the orchard. In the second quote, S. K. Stanely argues that Maggie – whose story is unresolved even as “Recitatif” ends – is a representation of difference (physical and racial) that refuses either to become normal or to disappear. Do you agree? Disagree? Both?For your second writing assignment, I want you to continue exploring how Morrison questions our expectations regarding race. However, this time your paper must have a thesis: whether you agree or disagree with Stanely, you must find a space for your own original intervention, and support your position in an organized way with textual analysis. Finally, in making your argument, you must meaningfully use S.K. Stanely’s “Maggie in Toni Morrison’s ‘Recitatif.’” How do they contribute to the meaning of the story? Why does Morrison shape and frame her story in these ways?
