The Bluest Eye

I believe outward appearances do affects inward understanding of ones self and identity especially after reading the book "The Bluest Eye." Which is about a little girl named Pecola who was constantly teased and made fun of and told she was ugly from everyone. Even her own family didn't help make her feel better about herself. So after hearing that you are ugly and get put down so much it is hard to feel good about yourself. Then eventually she believe she was ugly and the only way for her to be pretty was to have blue eyes. So she went to this guy that said he talks with God and can give people what they want. So he told her he would give her blue eyes. Then even after she believed she had blue eyes she still thought they went blue enough and that for her to be pretty she needed the bluest eyes in the world. I believe she still felt that way because no matter what she believes she will never be pretty enough because all the stuff she has been through in her life.
