Pecola is a eleven year old black girl. She is a poor working-class girl Because her mother works for caring for the well to do white family. Pecola believes that she is ugly and having blue eyes would make her beautiful. These elements contribute to our understanding of the text theme because the author is saying you do not have to look certain way to be considered beautiful. Having blue eyes does not make you automatically beautiful. Also you should love yourself and the skin that you’re in.
