Love Post #1

First off, I found Love about as hard to follow as Rabbit, Run. Once I figured out who the characters even were and how they interacted with eachother, I was intrigued. I found it interesting how you would think that the wealthy older characters in the book would be the most enlightened and intelligent, but it was interesting how Junior, an 18 from the projects, seemed the most street-smart and intelligent. Another thing I liked about how Morrison speaks of what "is" and what "should be" is her ability to take away the easiness and pleasantries so often portrayed in modern day culture and strip it down the basic foundation...conflict and reconciliation. Love is not an easy thing, as most of us can speak from experience, and I like how she portrayed that.
