The quality of the novel overall is exceptional, there is an excellent use of language, imagery, as well as irony. The novel is put together in such a way where the author utilizes poetic language and a creative story line. The characters drive the story line with their unique personalities and views.
We feel this novel is appropriate as a high school text. Students are a lot more mature than the school board or some administrators give them credit for. Students of the Miami-
Dade school system are exposed to much harsher and crude material on a daily basis. We believe this novel can only open the minds of students due to the fact that it exposes them
to a different and unique style of writing. This book has become very controversial in the school system, many don't agree with its content while others such as ourselves believe this and other novels like this can only enhance the growth and maturity of the student body.

Sula by Toni Morrison tells the story of two women, Nel and Sula, who were childhood friends in a Black community. The story follows Nel and Sula till the death of Sula while the town serves as the backdrop with scandalous infidelities and drunken men. Sula returns to town after years of being away and her friendship with Nel remains strong but all that shatters when Nel caught Sula having an affair with Jude, her husband.
Morrison portrays Nel and Sula's friendship with realism and passion but the novel emphasized too much on sex and cheating spouses. However, with a combination of friendship, race, and love, Sula will surely leave a profound impression on the reader about the culture of the 1920-1960s.
Haikus for Sula
Friends from childhood
Until Sula slept with Jude
Nel forgave her
Scandalous in town
Sula was hated by all
She was the devil

Sula by Toni Morrson is a scandalous story about Sula and her friend Nel and their experiences growing up in a racist time in a colored town in Ohio called the Bottom. Sula's father dies when she is very young which forces her mother to move back in with Sula's grandmother in order to raise her. Sula's mother, Hannah, never remarries but throughout the novel makes love to many local men. Sula's grandma, Eva, is the matron of her household. Eva witnesses the death of two of her children by means of fire. After Hannah's death, Sula models her mother's behavior and ends up sleeping with many men. She eventually dies from illness, being outlived by Eva and her best friend Nel.
Sula scandalous,
Maker of love with many men,
Lover of Ajax.
Down to the Bottom,
Racially separated,
Sula and Nel walked.

Toni Morrison's unconventional novel Sula (Vintage International) retells the story of two young girls who grow up in an Ohio slum. Spanning 48 years, the tale follows the relationship of Nel Wright and Sula Peace, as they travel along the turbulent waters of adolescence as best friends, then find themselves as worst enemies in adulthood. Following Nel's marriage, their lives take totally contrasting paths as Sula goes to college and Nel remains in the black community of the Bottom, becoming a staple member of the deteriorating ghetto. When they meet again, ten years since they last saw each other at Nel's wedding, Nel finds Sula in bed with her husband. Nel, understandably, spends the next couple decades brooding over Sula's betrayal, while Sula goes on to have sex with half the men in the continental United States.
As a humble high schooler, I was surprised by much of the content in the book- in fact, this book made me feel downright dirty. Lurid accounts of burning bodies or drowned corpses or spontaneous sex in pantries inspired a strong desire to take a shower... or at least wash my hands thoroughly. Insofar as the novel's quality, I felt underwhelmed given Toni Morrision's high acclaim; the novel has an amateurish feel, but its grit and brawn do make it worth a read.
Haiku Time!!!! Haiku's for Sula!
Wild savage passion
Man does she want that sausage
I want to vomit
Kerosene baptism
Swiftly becomes creamation
Mama don't love ya
hoo ha!
