Plot Line

Exposition: In the exposition we met two eight-year-old girls, Twyla and Roberta, whose mothers had left them in an orphanage. Morrison never identifies either character by race, but the reader is told that one girl is black and one girl is white. In the orphanage, Twyla and Robert become friends and stick together in an environment where there is confusion, hostility and loneliness. Through historical references the reader finds out that the time setting is the 1950's.
