The Bluest Eye

[b:Toni Morrison 6149 Beloved Toni Morrison http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1165555299s/6149.jpg 736076] is a great author who really wrote a compelling novel called The bluest eye. I thought it was really sad to see how ugly one girl could be; and becomes an outcast to society.When in actual life, it is the people who viewed her as ugly,were the ugly ones themselves. Pecola Breedlove is the protagonist in this book who was raped by her father and had to go through changes as a little girl, from getting her first period, to getting bounced from house to house, to getting pregnant. She wishes for blue eyes because during the 1940's, white little girls and boys with blue eyes and blond hair were percieved as beautiful and others are not beautiful. So she prays to God everyday for blue eyes just so she can fit into society. And what is so good about this book is the fact that there are some actual facts that can/could happen in real life, so you have more of a visual image as well as a deeper connection/understanding with the book.
