It points out that the novel is not only full of metaphors about Bai Bai, but also has many similarities in the creative skills with the sewing process of Bai Bai. As a black feminist writer, Walker made full use of Banner’s being the flag of this woman, which has made amazing artistic effects while effectively expressing the theme of the novel.
