The Bluest Eye- Winter

Two things that bother me most out of this part of the novel was the fact that Mr. Henry had the prostitutes over and tried to buy the kids out of the house with ice cream so he could have alone time with them. The girls found out about it anyway, but where told not to tell there mama. And when Pecola goes over to Jr's house and she is blamed for killing the cat. Jr, clearly has some jealousy issues between the attention that the cat gets from his mother and the attention that he does not get from her, they are not the same. The cat was there before he was born, it gave her the love and attention that she needed. And when he was born was she just suppose to forget about the cat. She gave him what she thought that he needed, and that is what any mother would do. This was not enough for him so he went and killed the poor cat. I don't think that the relationship between him and his mother are going to change now that the cat is no longer alive. But over all The way that the mother acted with Pecola was uncalled for, she is black too, she might not be as black as she is but she comes from the same color bracket. The mother should know her son well enough to know that he had it out for that cat. That's why she never really left them alone together because he would harass the cat.
