This week in our class we finished reading “The Song of Solomon” and read the chapter on Interviewing.

I really enjoyed the chapter on Interviewing and I can see why it was paired with The Song of Solomon. Throughout the last portion of “TSOS,” Milkman is interviewing the Reverend and Susan Byrd and through that process his character seems to mature.

He gets a clearer view of his family and ultimately learns he is part of a family who is known to “fly” – which is something he’s always wanted to do.

He also starts to realize that he owes something to those who came before him.

Through the process of interviewing he becomes a more likeable character.

I think our class discussions with this novel have been very interesting. I have enjoyed hearing my classmates insights into the novel which have made me think more deeply about it.
