>> Good hearty read not too sure about the focus
After taking a class on American literature and being assigned Toni Morrison s Beloved and really feeling the emotion from that novel I decided to read another one of her books The Bluest Eye I understood the reasoning behind the scattered chapters where Morrison introduced and explained the histories and background for the characters but I struggled when I got tangled in the imagery Morrison describes settings actions and images in length before getting anywhere I think the themes of the American definition of beauty as well as the oppression that Cholly and Pecola both feel in the novel is beautifully described and heartbreaking at the same time and though hard to read was necessary Though not justifying the rape of Pecola Morrison explains why it happened and how much Cholly truly loved his daughter The theme of paralysis shown in Claudia Pecola and Cholly shines through and the reader can really feel how trapped each one feels in their skin Not being able to change a situation that has gone so terribly wrong and not being able to find a way out This novel really opened my eyes to what poverty and oppression does to people This book was really hard to put down but left a pit in the bottom of my stomach after completing it This is definitely a book that needs to be read and is still prevalent in today s society forty years later and is promised to make an impact
