Recitatif

Recitatif was a decent story and also easy to understand. The main characters in the story are two females named Roberta and Twyla. The two girls reside in an orphanage due to the fact that their parents are not able to care for them. Roberta's mother is very ill so she is not able to watch after Roberta, whereas Twyla's mother appears to be a prostitute who has no interest in caring for a child. Throughout the four months spent at the orphanage the two girls formed a bond that would last a lifetime. Both of the female's led different lifes but their life intersected a few times down the road. Each girl had their own way of living, Roberta became more of the adventurous type whereas Twyla seemed to be more of the sheltered type. I found this story to show that bonds made in life can be of great value and how times change.
