A question that I have from the novel that we may have touched upon in class but I dont feel like i have a good answer is that- What do you think the repeated line "there is only under water" mean? An example of this is from page 121.
i read a really good article about Caroline or Change and the author was explaining that the meaning of the line "there is only underwater in Louisiana" is a metaphor about Caroline; like she's literally and figuratively swamped. I just thought that made a lot of sense. I'll try to find that article to post.
I think she feels as if she is always drowning. She will never not be black, and she will always looked at as being inferior. There is only a life of "hell" and being "under water". This is her life, and she doesn't really have many other options
