How do these traumas shape her view of love, family and trust?

Bernice McFadden uses fiction to explore many ideas. One of the ideas explored in “Sugar” is the idea of intergenerational trauma. Please write a paper discussing how the past traumas of the Laceys as well as Shirley Brown, Ciel Brown and Bertie Mae Brown shaped Sugar’s personality. How do these traumas shape her view of love, family and trust? Your paper should be 2-3 pages, typed, double-spaced, 12-point font. No outside sources. Your papers are due on Thursday, November 10th by 11:59 PM. Please email your paper. I prefer a Word Doc, but Google Doc or PDF is also fine. If you chose the latter options then your paper must be made editable by me. Please remeber to put your name and page numbers on your paper.

Make sure you are responding directly to the prompt given. The Sugar novel is a tragedy written to explore the hardships faced by black women in the south prior to the Civil Rights Movement. Unlike their white counterparts, these women received no protection under law. They were often abused both in their own homes and neighborhoods, as well as their places of employment. The paper is about how these abuses affected Sugar’s personality. The paper is not about judging Sugar or any of these other women for the circumstances of their lives or the choices they made.
