Welcome to the blog for Prof. John Talbird's English 204 class. The purpose of this site is two-fold: 1) to continue the conversations we start in class (or to start conversations before we get to class) and 2) to practice our writing/reading on a weekly basis in an informal forum.

[10] The Bluest Eye

So far, I felt that this novel was pretty symbolic and refers to people today, because even today we see blue eyes as a art with such beauty and magnificent. So the fact that the character Pecola sees blue eyes as being pretty does show how blue eyes symbolize beauty. Also from what I have read so far, this novel gets quite violent, but is acknowledged like its a normal thing. The fight between Cholly and Mrs. Breedlove. Like just out of nowhere he begins to beat her, she hit hits him, and like it seems to be normal, like it happens all the time.

This is an example I was referring too how we see blue eyes as beauty. This cat has its beauty from its blue eyes.
