Hearts Day: honor to Toni Morrison

On Friday February 13th I attended the Hearts Day conference. I watched the second session of the day and did not really find it quite interesting. I was actually confused and did not really understand the purpose of my session even though the flier said it was supposed to be "Approaches to her fiction." I do not think everything was quite clear and well expresssed. I did get something out of this session and it was on the topic of motherhood referring to her novel, "The Bluest Eye." In the novel, the mother was not emotionally attaching herself to her children. The message of the book was that women and men can sometimes accept a better image of themselves if nutured by their mother and father figure. I believe this point is true because the nuturing of your parents is like a feeling of support and love, which is something that every person wants and needs in their life.
