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 Through historical references the reader finds out that the time setting is the 1950's.
Rising Action: Grocery store, in the 1970's. Rich, working class. it was friendy akward feeling.
Climax:The school parking lot. Twyla is in the car and Roberta is picking. It is a scary,mean and voilent feeling.
Falling Action:Twyla is returnig to school and picketing.And resigns herself to maggie's race.And didnt kick her.
Resolution:They are both at a diner in the 1980's and Roberta confesses that she lied about Maggie. She didnt kick her.
