Two part reading response "The bluest eye"
"The bluest eye" novel written by Toni Morrison tells the life of a young African-American girl named Pecola who grows up with great depression. She is regarded as 'ugly' because of her skin and she believes that whitenes is beautiful. Her parents have both had difficult lives. Her father, Cholly, drinks and her mother, Pauline, has always felt isolated. All what Pecola requires to God are a pair of new blue eyes,like she was buying shoes ,thinking she would become beautiful. What I think is that children learn behaviours from their parents and the story treats lot of social problems such as: racism,incest,child attitude and parents inferiority towards their childrens. Beauty is an obsession that has been present and it is even nowadays. We should understand that it isn't beauty who makes a person, is the inner side who really matters.
