In the excerpt from Toni Morrison's "Home," Frank gently encourages Cee, who is feeling deeply sad, to express her emotions. He whispers to her, suggesting that crying is a natural response to her pain and that she doesn't have to suppress her feelings. Cee asserts her right to be miserable, indicating that recognizing and confronting her sadness is important, rather than avoiding it.

This moment highlights Cee's determination to embrace her truth, even if it brings her discomfort. Despite no longer sobbing, she continues to let her tears flow, symbolizing her acceptance of her emotional state. Morrison captures the essence of grief and the importance of acknowledging one's feelings rather than repressing them.
