[15] The Blueset Eye: Seasons

When you think of the four seasons, you mainly think about time. But in this novel it shows more that just time, it actually shows more on the description of what happens in each season and comparing it to the main characters lives.

For example:

Autumn: Autumn could be used to represent the ending of a year, to embrace a new year. In the year it's September October and November. In the novel, it shows the beggining, we we are introduced to Pecola.

Winter: Winter could be use to represent the beggining. In the year, December, January, February. People can also see it as cold, and empty.in the novel, Pecola during winter is accused of killing Geraldines cat, so winter could symbolize how cold hearted people like junior were towards Pecola.

Spring:  Spring could be used to represent change, and growing up. In the year, it's March, April and May. In the novel however, during the spring part we see Pecola beaten by her mother, and Frieda being harassed by Mr. Henry, so maybe it's showing that although people see change as good, it isn't always good. Thus relates tonsprijg, because people see spring as sunshine and clear skies, but it also rains and has thunderstorms.

Summer: Summer could be used to represent freedom from normal activity. It the year, it represents June July and August. Summer is the smallest chapter in thus novel l, which I feel relates when we are on summer break, and it always goes by so fast.  But in this novel, i feel that summer was used to show people who go insane, and can't stand the heat. I felt Pecola has went insane, she has thus imaginary friend, and sees herself with blue eyes.
