Essay # 2 Introduction with Assertion
Who is Frank Money, and have you wondered about Frank and the increasingly dire
circumstances he endured in Toni Morrison’s novel Home? Frank Money is an African
American male who served in the Korean war. Frank was impacted by individual trauma, and
cultural trauma at a young age. However, even though having endured individual trauma and
cultural trauma Frank achieves healing at the end of the story. When Frank witnesses the burial,
he becomes traumatized, but he does not admit to it. Instead he hides the fact that he is
traumatized and won’t own up to the truth. We can see this when Frank said “I really forgot
about the burial. I only remembered the horses. They were so beautiful. So brutal. And they
stood like men” (Morrison 5). The second event that had traumatized Frank at a young age was
the cultural trauma he and his family endured, when they were forced to flee from their house in
Texas. According to Gonzales, Susana Vega in The Grove “The Keys to the House of Healing:
Toni Morrison’s Home” she says that “After being run out of their Texas house, the Money
family settles in Lotus, a small Georgia town where there were no sidewalks or indoor plumbing.
Having no house there at first, they were begrudgingly accommodated by Lenore, Frank’s
grandmother, and her husband.” In addition Gonzales, Susana Vega also states that “As African
Americans in a hostile land four-year-old Frank and his family are forced to flee from their house

in Texas, where lynching and persecution against African Americans take place, also you could
be inside, living in your own house for years, still men with or without badges but always with
guns could force you, your family, your neighbors to pack up and move with or without shoes”
(Home 9). The third event that traumatized Frank at a young age According to Gonzales, Susana
Vega (The Grove) is “the emotional gap that is left upon the siblings, who can only rely on each
other for love and safety. From an early age, Frank and his sister Cee experienced emotional
bereavement caused by the long hours their parents worked and the lack of loving care from a
grandmother, Lenore, who is in charge of them while their parents are at work.”
