ASA I am new to this forum, but, I am excited about what I might be able to learn and share. I believe that "Making Mary" involves the process of returning to a process designed to re-train and re-educate the Black Woman, who we need in order to uplift humanity in general. 'Making Mary' refers to providing the world with the prototype of the Mother of Jesus, demonstrating that only through the edification of the Black woman, can we be returned to our natural place as representatives of the Divine...#Global19
Peace and Blessings. Wow!!!! Brother Kenneth, the entire forum is new. I really appreciate your kicking it off with your profound comment! The "process" you mentioned is the meat of it all because many of us could "make" Mary, as you say if we could withstand the pressure of the process. It seems like the process engulfs us, hence our condition today.
I believe the title means through trials, tribulations and life challenges, Mary becomes the woman of the story. Her character, her personality. Her beliefs. Her morals.
I like that..."Mary BECOMES..." This is true because Mary doesn't start off as anything except an innocent baby, a product of her parents, the environment, and her unique circumstances.
Making Mary makes me feel we are about to take a trip through the past in order to identify all the good, bad, and ugly that makes up the woman Mary will become.
Chantaye, you have been assigned the character named Robeena. This means she is you and you are her. You will have to defend her actions or explain them. More on this later!!!
Making Mary-by Webster's definition MAKING- means the act of forming, causing, doing, the process of coming into or becoming. The advancement or process of success...all of the things combined to create or influence what one becomes later in life i.e. Mary.
So, she is a process, right? I want to know more about success, and whether the Making of Mary is successful. Hmmm. (Smile). I can see you are a scholar. Boy, oh, boy!!!!
If she is self-made, that tells me a little bit about what I think you are expecting from the book. Did she make herself? Your next assignment is to read the first 100 pages. I see you have already chosen your character. This should be EXTREMELY interesting.
@Dedra Muhammad she made herself coz she chose the reactions to adopt face to her life experiences. This the essence of making onself : Getting the freedom to extract benefits for us into good or Bad life experiences.

I completely agree

make

Making Mary- bringing about her truths/ reality and all she's gone through to get there.
Interesting and very well thought out. Your response was enjoyable to read!!!

How did you know? lol. Get ready for the ride!!!!!!
@Dedra Muhammad Just a hunch. But the book intriguing!

Marshay, you are being assigned Minnie.
It means the "Self-made woman" thanks to life experiences

Good job!!!!!! So....you are being assigned to two characters. You will need to defend or explain Lee and Casey. Good luck!
