I agree with the argument of Toni Morrison about the origin of racial division and its relationship to dehumanization. The short story implies that mending racial divisions requires facing our propensity to dehumanize others.

Numerous employees have perished in the Hawks Nest Tunnels…

There are relationships between the structures of many language levels, such as those between sound and meaning, grammatical organization and thematic patterns, or reinforcement or contrast and…
