In all, I found the bluest eye to be a profound book. Toni Morrision packs the book with literary symbolism, which is good, however at times it is somewhat overwhelming. It's the kind of book you have to go back and read, or even research her meaning behinf the symbolism. Young readers, most likely would have a hard time reading this book, because the one needs to do an interpretive anaylisis to thouro0ughly grasp the concept. However the change of narritive sequence,was something I didn't understand at first but later I I realize Morrision used this literary device, to understand the root of Pecola's problem.

At first I did not understand the book, but i soon got into the whole swing of it. I loved how the author looked into the past, seeing all the characters really helped me understand. It is a chilling story of a girl who just wanted to fit in and live a normal life. It is a ouching story, beautifully written, it speaks for all the black people who have suffered and who still suffer today. The author created an amazing story that has changed my life.

I disagree with some of the people who thought this book was boring. It was a book that i found quite interesting. I had to choose a book for a book review and this was the book that I chose. Reading The Bluest Eye helped my class have a class discussion that I never really thought about. My teacher came across with a question that she didn't understand. My teacher is white, she wonted to know if the darker complexion and lighter complexion African Americans hang with others like them. In otherwords do your skin color have to do with the people you are friends with. Like the stereotype, light skin girls with long hair and darker skin with the normal length hair or shorter hang out.

A SIMPLE BOOK! The only profound effect it might make on someone would have to take effect on someone who has experienced the same type of pains as the characters. I was not terribly bored, yet I would not neccessarily recomend it. Though, I am only a 18-yr. old white girl without the experience of a segregated society. Even without the experience, I do not feel I have been enlightened to anything new.

I liked the book, but the flashbacks got kind of confusing. TM is a goodn writer and expresses her point very well. I had to read this book as a project, and as it turned out, I liked it. The main themes of Racism, and Racism within a race are articulated nicely. Me being black I can totally understand TM's point of view. The vulgarness of this book is somewhat deep, and unecessary. Still though, GOOD BOOK.
