Song of Solomon Entry 7 - Responding and Reflection

         While reading Song of Solomon one thing stuck with me the most, that being Milkman's sense of confusion with his culture and race.  Milkman grew up in a middle class environment and because of that he feels a certain disconnect between himself and other people of his ethnicity.  I feel same way more or less about my race not because of a socio enconomic difference but just as much of a cultural barrier.  I grew with people not of my race and aside from having a Chinese mother there was never much Chinese cultural influence in my childhood. That's what I got out of Song of Solomon.
