Hi everyone, my name is Raquel and today I want to present the book The Bluest Eye.
00:00:00
Okay, I'm going to talk about the author, who is Tony Morrison,
00:00:06
was an American writer who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1993.
00:00:10
Her works often are about themes like identity, racism, and the African-American experience.
00:00:17
I'm going to make a brief summary about the book.
00:00:24
The story takes place in Lorin, Ohio during the 1940s.
00:00:27
The main character is Pecola Breedlove, a young African-American girl who dreams of
00:00:33
having blue eyes, believing that will make her beautiful and accepted by society.
00:00:39
Pecola lives in a dysfunctional family.
00:00:46
Her father is alcoholic and violent, and her mother is distanced.
00:00:49
She faces discrimination at home and in her community, which leads her to want to chase
00:00:54
her appearance to feel loved.
00:01:01
Okay, I'm going to say the points that mostly call my attention.
00:01:03
One of the central themes is internalized racism.
00:01:09
Pecola believes that having blue eyes, like the dolls she sees in stores, will make her
00:01:13
beautiful.
00:01:20
This reflects how societal beauty standards can damage self-esteem.
00:01:21
Another theme is lost chillhood.
00:01:26
Pecola loses her innocence because of the traumatic circumstances.
00:01:30
She lives through showing how environment can affect a chill's development.
00:01:35
Family and community also play a major role.
00:01:42
lack of support and love around pecola contributes to her emotional collapse now i'm going to say
00:01:46
one scene that what is my favorite of this book is when pecola plants a flower named
00:01:55
marigolds hoping they bloom and bring happiness into her life but the flowers don't grow
00:02:04
symbolizing a loss of hope. Another powerful moment is when Pecola expresses her wish to have
00:02:11
blue eyes. This longing shows her struggle to find her place in a world that constantly rejects her.
00:02:20
In my opinion, this book moved me deeply. The way that Morrison shows Pecola's pain is heartbreaking.
00:02:30
It made me reflect on how beauty standards and discrimination can destroy a person from the
00:02:39
inside. I recommend The Bluest Eye to anyone interested in stories that are related to
00:02:44
important social issues and make you think it's a heavy read but a powerful one. Thank you for
00:02:51
watching. I hope you like this booktube and it's useful for you to know what book you should read
00:02:59
next and bye
