Question #3

On page 17, Morrison writes, “Being a minority in both caste and class, we moved about anyway on the hem of life, struggling to consolidate our weaknesses and hang on, or to creep singly up into the major folds of the garment.” I believe that like most of the immigrants they have that dream of making money and to have power so they won’t be a minority; be ignore and consider garbage by the superior class. in the novel The Bluest Eye Pecola; wants to be lighter, with blue, blonde curly hair to be beautiful and be appreciated by others. She believe that having those characteristics would be the free pass in society ; meaning she will be accept and considered beautiful, treated with respect.  White race has the power and authority to advertise whatever they consider beautiful and put down the beauty of the black race. They society have implied into young girls and everyone else that in order to be consider beautiful you have to be light skin, thin body, blind hair and BLUE Eyes. This is the same as the American dream because it consists of people trying to move up in their social status by working and getting the nice cars, houses, clothes, all of the things that are seen by society, as the things that are what an American should have. However, in the Bluest Eye Implies beauty, what society have consider every woman should e to be consider beautiful and be fit on society.
