Pick ONE of the essay topics below for your paper.

The Bluest Eye

 

1)      Define how Pecola’s idea of beauty is influenced by what society tells her. You can reference the idea of blue eyes, the dolls, the role Maureen and any other examples you may find helpful. She is driven to sadness because she cannot achieve many of the qualities that define beauty.

2)      Morrison calls the problem Pecola faces with beauty and society “The Thing”—in this essay explain she meant by this and how it effects her.

3)      Cholly’s rape of Pecola is obviously an upsetting scene. For this essay explain what past events in his life have led him to commit such an act. (Think of his overall feeling of powerlessness).

4)      Explain the living situation of the Breedlove’s and how that effects their lives. The fact that they live in a storefront puts their very unhappy lives on display. How does this effect their lives?

 

• Never end a paragraph with a quote.
• Cite outside sources within in your text; if it appears on your works cited page it has to be used in the paper (direct quotes or paraphrasing).
• Always keep in mind: is this quote proving and supporting my thesis? If not, do not use it!
• WITHOUT A WORKS CITED PAGE OR OUTSIDE SOURCES THE PAPER WILL FAIL
