The main Character is Julia. Who is actually the author and the illustrator of the oak. So basically it is her autobiography.
Rare, unique, uncommon, extraordinary..
American writer, Alice Malsenior Walker was the eighth child of Georgia sharecroppers
I think the author uses a tone that is calm at times and frenzied depending on where in the story you mean.
