From the Paper:

"Many authors use their work to convey a feeling, a belief or a value, but every once in awhile the world is treated to an author that knows exactly how to convey the human spirit, both in the negative and positive light. This is the case with well known author Toni Morris and her work Beloved. Morris uses the work to illuminate the plight of the slave, and the ability for humans to act humanely and inhumanely at the same time. The work is important to the history of America as it blueprints a time and attitude that should never be repeated."
