Gorilla, My Love

Integrity is an important factor in human relations. It is the basis of the reliability between the two, from which the relationship grows and matures. When this trust gets shattered, obstacles are created between the two. Defining a legal contract with a business partner from a foolish devotion to a child. There is no difference in children's eyes. Commitment is a commitment. In Toni Cade Bambara's "Gorilla, My Love", the evolutionary perspective of the difference between betrayal and juvenile agreement was carefully studied through events between her child Hazel and her uncle Hunca Bubba.

"Gorilla, My Love" was first published in Red Book Magazine published in November 1971. The title is "I am not playing, I am hatting". A year later, it became the champion tale of the collection of Bambara 's first short story. "Gorilla, my love" is one of several of the series, characterized by a powerful first person narrator speaking in a conversational style rather than the standard formal English. With this story and the power of others, Banbara is widely praised for its ability to capture the voice of young people and African Americans.

"Gorilla, my love" uses a unique narrative structure. Most of the stories in this series have relatively traditional plot arcs following the narrator through a series of events. However, "Gorilla, my love" is a mix of traditional stories and frame stories. In a sense, the car scene is Hazel's framework for flashback on movie tours. The car scene is definitely the place where most Hazel characters develop, but Hazel's movie tour provides important information about her values ​​and her family relationship. There is also a title of the story. Therefore, the scene of a car is technically a framework of a movie scene, but they have the same theme and the importance of a story.
