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.

The Bluest Eyes

I was shocked when Claudia destroyed the doll. I tried to find the reason why. It seems to be more than the fact that they didn't ask her what she wanted for Christmas. I think she had rejections issues. I think she felt that she was fighting for a cause already lost. she didn't "fit" the "standards" prone at that time. She is not able to see her worth. At a so young age she is a "follower". She needed an idol, that she could relate to. The barrier that society put between "Black and White" Prevents her from seeing what really matters. She lacks of self confidence and parental attention.

    I think that she goes and lashes out on the doll for both that she is angry, and she is taking her anger out on the doll. And also for attention, because she is not getting it from her parents or really her sister.
