I am reading The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison. The story is about an eleven-year-old girl named Pecola Breedlove. She is an African American who has a love for blond, blue eyed children. She wishes that her eyes would turn blue so that she will be beautiful. Pecola does not have a good home life, her father is a drunk and her parents fight often. They lived in a storefront below the apartment of three whores, China, Poland and Miss Marie. Pecola visited them and did errands for them. Pecola is now staying with Claudia and Frieda's family, her mother is staying with the woman she works for and her brother Sammy is with some other family because Cholly, her father, is in jail. Frieda and Pecola are the same age and Claudia is younger.
