The Quilt
1. Read the quilt (137-38). What stories does it tell? What sort of narrative? George and Cocoa disagree over its use (147): what's the significance of their disagreement?
The Quilt basically recounts the past about Cocoa's ancestors. It is interesting to note that Mama Day notices a pattern in the history of her family and suddenly stops making the quilt because she hopes that the same story will not be repeated again by Cocoa. George and Cocoa disagree about its use because they both have different backgrounds and Cocoa has an actual connection with the quilt, which she feels is a part of her.
