Love Life

Bone Black is a lovely novel. It provides valuable insight behind how black woman are treated in society. The purpose is to help educate readers of the struggles and accomplishment of black woman. Bell Hook's, author and character of the novel, does this by writing short 3 page chapters or "snitches" of her memoirs. She did an excellent job on delivering a feeling of visualization. It was as if I was there for myself. By the same token, her ability to capture a child's tone was astonishing. Hook's experiences throughout her childhood most definitely explain her passion for wanting to her own happiness.

Hooks came from a poor family. She was not directly told that they were living in poverty but her living situation and attire surely showed it. Although this is not reason to ruin ones happiness, it did have an impact on her regime. She couldn't even play the piano because she was too poor. She lived with her mother, father, siblings, grandmother and great grandmother. This attracted me. Typically a child's parents are not still in the same household as their parents, especially not the parents of your parents. This had to have an extreme impact of Hooks. While she had additional support and love, the constant surrounding of your family and seeing that they still live together is not necessarily positive. This scared her because for her it seems as if she is supposed to follow in the footsteps of her parents. That she would be living in poverty with an abusive husband, your children, and their children's children.
