Two part reading response "The bluest eye"

"The bluest eye" novel written by Toni Morrison talk about the life of a young African-American girl whose name is Pecola.  She was a black girl who comes from a poor and depressive family.
Facing domestic violence, sexual assault, and living in a community that associates beauty with whiteness, she suffers from low self-respect and views herself to be ugly. She hated the fact of how she was, she couldn’t accept her appearance that way. She couldn’t even think that beauty means ‘Her’ in all the different ways possible, and the idea of it was more forced by the non-educational way of her parents. Even though she has her thoughts she never had the support of anyone to change her ideas of herself. She believes that whiteness is beautiful. Pecola prays for her eyes to turn blue so that she will be as beautiful and beloved as all the blond, blue-eyed children in America. Her madness at the end of the novel is her only way to escape the world where she cannot be beautiful and to get the blue eyes she desires from the beginning of the novel. Eyes have the ability to reveal our inner emotions and they’re our window to the outside world and she wanted them blue because blue eyes are said to be the most desirable and loved and at least that was all she ever wanted, to be loved, once.  I really believe in illustration of the fact that we don't need to be perfect in no way, we need only to make an effort and to keep learning about the world, and to take care of ourselves and people around us, no matter how we may be look like ,or how old we are in years.
Let us love wisely, unconditionally for once!
