Morrison uses within the novel is syntax with stream of consciousness narration. In the second part of the book‚ one of the chapters contains no punctuation. This method of writing is better known as stream of consciousness. In this chapter Sethe is the narrator and the reader is reading her thoughts. Personally‚ I found this method very effective because I could follow Sethe’s thought patterns and understand what she was thinking. Another example of effective syntax is in the third part of the book‚ the

Wharton had chosen to tell the story in first person‚ from Lydia’s point of view‚ the narrative would be clearly subjective. Readers would be aware of the limitations of a first person narrator. Consequently‚ they would have plenty of incentive to question the accuracy of Lydia’s perception.
