The bluest eye
I read a book called The bluest eye by Toni Morrison.
Toni Morrison is a Nobel Prize and Pulitzer Prize- winning American author , editor, and professor . It is Morrison's first novel , written while she was teaching at Howard University and was raising her two sons on her own.
It is a novel publiched in 1970. It is set in 1941 in Ohio.
The main character is Pecola Breedlove, a poor black girl who believes she is ugly . Then there is her father , Cholly Breedlove, who is an alcoholic and her two best friends Claudia and Frieda MacTeer.
Claudia and Frieda MacTeer live in Ohio with their parents . The MacTeer family takes two other people into their home, Mr. Henry and Pecola. Pecola is a troubled young girl with a hard life. Her parents are constantly fighting, both physically and verbally. Pecola is continually being told and reminded of what an “ugly” girl she is and that’s why she thinks that if her eyes were blue , things would be different , she would be pretty. Pecola eventually moves back in with her family. One day, as her father returns home and finds Pecola washing dishes, he rapes her. His motives are unclear and confusing, seemingly a combination of both love and hate. After that Pecola discovers that she is pregnant . The entire town of Lorain turns against her, except Claudia and Frieda. In the end Pecola’s child is born prematurely and dies .
The language was a little hard for me. There was lot of expressions and I got many new words .
I think the main message of a book is that people discriminate those who are different and this is wrong. You can’t decide who is beautiful and who is ugly.
I recommend this book for everyone, because it is really interesting to read. it makes you think, because issues raised in the book are also problems in our every day life
Where does Claudia and Frieda live?
Why does Pecola think that she is ugly?
why does Pecola think blue eyes will change her life?
What tragedies did Pecola have to deal with?
Why did Pecola’s father rape her?
Why why did the entire town turn againt Pecola?
What happened with Pecola’s child?
In what school was Morrison teaching while writing the novel?
When was the novel publiched?
Who didn’t turn against Pecola?

Bennet to her husband, "and all the others equally well married, I shall have nothing to wish for." In a few days Mr. Bingley returned Mr. Bennet's visit, and sat about ten minutes with him in his library. He had entertained hopes of being admitted to a sight of the young ladies, of whose beauty he had heard much; but he saw only the father. The ladies were somewhat more fortunate, for they had the advantage of ascertaining from an upper window that he wore a blue coat, and rode a black horse. An invitation to dinner was soon afterwards dispatched; and already had Mrs. Bennet planned the courses that were to do credit to her housekeeping, when an answer arrived which deferred it all. Mr. Bingley was obliged to be in town the following day, and, consequently, unable to accept the honour of their invitation, etc. Mrs. Bennet was quite disconcerted. She could not imagine what business he could have in town so soon after his
