Throughout, Randall lifts characters and plot lines directlyįrom Mitchell's novel, though she tweaks the names - Scarlett is ''Other'' Rhett Butler is ''R.'' Tara becomes ''Tata.'' Randall's own plot inventionsĬonsist mostly of expository back story: Cynara, sold away from Tata as an adolescent, is now the 28-year-old mistress of none other than R.

Only poetry is capable of expressing the full range of the people's emotion about what has happened.” The Song manages to focus the Israelites' intense feelings. “A poem,” writes Professor and Bible translator Everett Fox, “is necessary at this point in the story, to provide emotional exultation and a needed break before the next phase of Israel's journey in the book.
