I choose
The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison because I was interested in a lot of the content concerning women and the way that beauty standards shape women and especially young African-American women. This book has been challenged and continues to be challenged by people today due to the explicit sexual content involved incest, pedophilia and sexual abuse. I choose to read a section where the little girl talks about how Pecola Breedlove, the girl who falls victim to all above make the rest of the young girls in that community feel better about themselves because of what she suffers. It is not a boastful part of the novel yet a sad part, nobody feel good about the pain endured by Pecola. I hope that you enjoy this section of the novel and choose to pick it up too.
