first paragraph for my essay Tayeb Salih’s Season of Migration to the North and Marshall Paule’s Praisesong for the Widow are all about culture conflicts between North and South. The characters in both novels have struggles with their ethnic identities while growing up in different cultures. In Praisesong for the Widow, the protagonist Avey Johnson is trying her best to be “white”. She moves to North White Plains and she is on a cruise ship named “Bianca Pride” .Avey is a black woman, but she is on a “white” cruise ship. Avey is almost forgets her heritage as a black woman. Marshall Paule describes Avey takes different journeys in the novel and these journey guides Avey to find her lost identity and root.
