Childs View continued....

In response/addition to Julio, it seems to me that Morrison used childrens' points of view to get her message across simply because her fictional story was reality during the 60's and surrounding Civil Rights decades. I believe she wants to portray to the reader exactly how "brainwashed" African American children were, and since young children lack the mental capacity to differentiate racism and bigotry from what is morally correct, if that makes sense. Furthermore, I believe Morrison uses Mrs.Breedlove along with the children to show how the inferiority complex instilled in black children grow with them into adulthood. The epidode of Pauline comforting the young white girl after the cobbler spilled is a good example. Furthermore, it feeds into the daughters Breedlove's sense of inferiority creating a cycle of sorts.
