In search of our mother's gardens - the bluest eye

"In search of our mother's gardens"

When i read the essay i love it because it speaks about black woman and how the had overcome racism sexism and become so called "Saints ". In the text it explains and gives many examples of the ordinary people and the struggle that they have faced. But also it shows how woman are able to do everything so they can be happy. At the text it was a part that i liked the most and grap my attention was that how woman were called "the mule of the world , Matriarchs , Mean and Evil Bitches". It isn't right the way they are called in fact i am speechless because only animals are called that way. And another thing that i i liked was how woman are often misunderstood, the frase says  "When we have asked for simple caring, we have been handed empty inspirational.  This sentence is so strong and powerful because it shows the reality not only of the black woman but also white women facethat kind of situation . We all want a little bit more caring but in fact all that we get is "HUMILIATION".

"The bluest eye -Toni Morrison 
  The title of the book looked so interesting but if you read it you will understand that it is a story that makes you think about your own life. The story speaks  about a young girl called Pecola she is only a kid and she is raped by her father and bulled by her neighbors. Even she has past many difficulty the only think that she wants is to have the bluest eyes. She says that because she do not want that people talk about how she is abused or how ugly she is . She wants to give people another reason to talk and to forget everything that she is facing . In fact also this story has some connection with our world because people sometime want to change themselves because they are not liked in the eyes of the others.
