For this paper, construct your own ideas about Toni Morrison’s novel Sula. Support your ideas with evidence, examples, and quotes. Be detailed. Use precise language.Your paper should have a clear structure and few if any grammatical errors (discipline) but it should also explore new ideas and potentialities (creativity). Below is only a limited list of topics. You are free to write on another topic of your choice so long as it is related to Sula and you have an engaging, central idea.Guidelines: 1000 – 1,500 words (about a 4 to 6 page paper) double-spaced in MLA format… you will lose credit if your paper is under the length requirement.You must use at least three direct quotes from Sula. Blend all quotes into your writing grammatically (see Modules for help). Always cite the page number.You may structure your discussion however you see fit, but please:– Assume the reader has not read the novel, so I recommend one or two sentences of summary somewhere in the first page of the paper (including author and title).– Start each paragraph with YOUR idea. You need not have formal topic sentences, but use Morrison’s words, or any other evidence you may want to use, as backup to your position. Avoid starting paragraphs with summary.– You may use outside sources for this paper, but you are not required to do so. Topics:Write an essay about the traumatic and devastating impact of (institutionalized) racism on the experiences of one or more characters in Sula. You may want to consider the history of redlining, white flight, suburbanization, and other systemic forces.
