Seeking for Happiness

Both books, Of Love and Other Demons and the Bluest Eye, are based on young girls and their personal issues in life. They were both depressing from an African American girl, Pecola, living through segregation, praying to one day have blue eyes and to feel loved. As for Sierva who had her own parents but was raised by the slaves. After finishing Of Love and Other Demons, I caught a tear come down my cheek. Although there was a huge age difference between Delaura and Sierva there relationship was so interesting to me. Sierva was just a young innocent girl, possibly going through puberty, and barely learning life as for Pecola, had no choice but be independent and mature after being raped by her own father. Both came from an unloving family yet still seek for happiness in some way.
