The Bluest Eye

The Bluest Eye is about a young girl named Pecola who thinks she is ugly. In fact, her entire family thinks they are ugly. The novel gives a short biography on both of Pecola's parents' lives, which helps readers see how their "ugliness" came around. However, Pecola believes that if she were just to have blue eyes, she wouldn't be so ugly, and her parents wouldn't fight around her as much.
