My question is why does Bona want to be with Paul and then just disappear when he is actually starting to realize that being with Bona might be a good thing?

1) The first reading of Cane was very eye-opening and explained the concept of what blacks were feeling during the Civil War and how they felt about living in the South. Jean Toomer asked questions like what was it like for my ancestors in the South and what did they think was their purpose in life. He wanted to fit into new "white" culture but he wanted to stick to his roots and stay in that culture as well. 

2) I just wonder about my ancestory and which ethnicty I belong to because I am Greek, Native American and Irish/Scottish. Sometimes I have to ask but I settle with White/Caucasian because it makes it easier to decide. 

3) My favorite passage was "Avey" because even though the narrator wanted Avey for himself, he tried to win her trust and love but never worked out for him. At the end of the passage, Avey fell asleep while talking to the narrator, "I sat beside her through the night. I saw the dawn seal over Washington. The Capitol dome looked like a grey ghost ship drifting in from the sea. Avey's face was pale, and her eyes were heavy. She did not have the gray crimson-splashed beauty of the dawn. I hated to wake her. Orphan-woman..." This showed us (as the audience) and showed the narrator that she was not the strong woman that she personafied, she was as fragile as a piece of glass. Her falling asleep while they are talking shows that she feels safe with him. 



My question is: How do all of these passages connect to one another?
