[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I loved how in the end it was a black woman that "saved" her. [/quote] I was cringing at this trope. The Magical African American Friend. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magical_Negro[/quote] Interesting. I didn’t see it that way. The friend was successful in her own right- had obviously overcame aging out of the orphanage, was smart, and made something of herself. She was going to be a lawyer- no small feat- and made it clear she wanted to fight for civil rights. She arguably had it more together than the main character. The friend has been following the main character’s very public success and so knew how to get in touch. She didn’t initially show up to help; she showed up because of the funeral. That trajectory seems different than what is described in this article. [/quote]
