The Bluest Eye (Annotated) Study Guide and Aid
* Study Guide
This is a 62 Page breakdown of Toni Morrison's "The Bluest Eye." This study aid gives detail summaries, including plots, character analysis, themes, symbols, quotations, and key facts from the work. Also an in depth look at the author
My study aids are well put together in an easy to read format that will guarantee success. Unlike other postings, I have included a snip below on how my study aids are written and analyzed.
Example Summary or Commentary
This first fragment seems to be an excerpt from a 1940s American first-grade primer, one that was used for decades to teach white and black students to read. In short, simple sentences, the family in the primer is described as a happy, picture-perfect, American white family, consisting of a big, strong Father, a nice, laughing Mother, a clean-cut son, Dick, and a pretty daughter, Jane.
The paragraph is repeated, and this time all punctuation disappears, along with the capital letters. When the paragraph is repeated a third time, the spacing between the sentences fades, flowing into one long, almost incoherent sentence. The primer's once-perfect sentences are fractured and disjointed, rushing into a flood of words--incomprehensible linguistic chaos.
The perfect world of the happy white family in the first-grade primer is unlike any world Pecola Breedlove knows. In her neighborhood, there are no green and white houses with white doors. In her neighborhood, families are not happy. Jane has a pretty red dress; Pecola does not. Jane's father and mother laugh and play; in Pecola's world, no one laughs or plays, and there are no happy fathers and mothers.
