Toni Morrison: "...one can never really define good and evil. Sometimes good looks like evil; sometimes evil looks like good--you never really know what it is. It depends on what uses you put it to. Evil is as useful as good is..."
Assignment for discussion: locate specific places in the novel where "good" and "evil" are intertwined; where what might be assumed to be "evil" is explained in terms of "goodness" or vice versa. Be prepared to share your passage in front of the class and explain why you chose it as well as what is adds to our "definition" of evil/good in the book.

Notebook Entry for Toni Morrison's Sula is due Tuesday, March 17th on Turnitin.com by 11:59 PM
Your first NB entry should answer ONE (and only one) of the following questions within the world of the novel:
- What does it mean to be good? What is evil? What does it mean to be a man? What does it mean to be a woman? (Understand that potential answers to these questions are based in character(s) and situation(s), rather than abstract philosophical argument)
This NB most closely follows Category 2, option B (make a judgement about something within the text).
