Long Answer
1. The book is titled Sula because her presence or lack thereof affects every character. The people of Medallion use Sula as a measuring stick for good and evil. Nel defines her goodness against Sula’s badness. Shadrack defines his purpose based on Sula’s presence. (All chapters)
2. The span of years covers World War I through the beginning of the civil rights movement. Within this historical backdrop, the people of Medallion live their lives for good or bad. Morrison suggests that the wide arc of history has little to do with the day-to-day lives of Black people, except that racism keeps them from getting jobs to build the tunnel and their neighborhood is replaced by “white progress” in the form of a golf course.
