This Sandbox Essay on Rhetorical Narrative focuses on how Toni Morrison intended the experience of Recitatif to be through the use of language as well as character experience. I learned that Recitatif being a tough to understand text, is what makes it so great. Morrison is telling someone else’s story and is intending for the reader to experience it, and because it is a hard story, the reader experience can match the intention of the experience which is interesting! This theory reminds me a lot of empathy in the sense that when you read or watch something you are putting yourself into the shoes of others, the feelings of others are being commanded to be felt by the viewer and that is part of the embodiment of Rhetorical Narrative Theory.
