OUTWARD APPEARANCE

I believe that The Bluest Eye deals very strongly with the identity of a person as established a by their outward appearance. In The Bluest Eye, each of the characters the author introduces are bound by their outward appearance .The Bluest Eye is about a young girl named Pecola, that lives with her parents in Ohio. Pecola Struggles with a broken home life and the constant reminder of her “ugliness” Pecola gave up on being beautiful and or cut. Yet her greatest wish throughout the book is to one day have the bluest eyes, which she really wanted her to excpet her for who she was. Since people maid Pecola to believe that she is ugly, it has negatively effected her outward appearance of understanding her true self.
