Recitatif response

The Story centers around two girls of two different ethnicities one is black and the other is white but the text never really specifies witch is witch, in fact the Morrison outright confuses the reader into changing there answer constantly forcing the reader reconsider what we thought we knew about the characters. Roberta was the white person for throughout the text we see that she was far better of than Twyla ever was many times when Roberta encountered Twyla outside the orphanage there were emphasis on the fact that she ha a driver or that the first time they met she was bragging about how she was going to a jimmy Hendrix concert. Later in their life they meat again and discus their life’s  it is there that the readers find out that Roberta is married to an ibm and executive a position that I doubt a black man could hold.
