In Search of our Mother's Garden, by Alice Walker

This is a book writen by Alice Walker. I like this book  because is talk about her search of the African American women’s suppressed talent, of the artistic skills and talents that they lost because of slavery and a forced way of life. Throughout this story, Alice Walker explains many hardships of life and struggles during the times that her family went through. Also explaining how even in the hardest times when your in despair, you may be able to find the one specific thing that puts you at peace. Alice is a  girl who always used to stay with her mother, and support her in everything. She was a black women and the life of black people characterizes in her work .Just like Alice's mother, she  was a women that sacrifice her life for their children,she was always in work for her children to have e better life.  Alice's mother is a very hard working women who struggles to run their family and feed her children. She has no free time because her day starts before sunrise and ends late at night, but even she had time to take care for garden.In these story black woman are treated as a “sexual object” to do all the thing that man want to do. The black women knew very well they right ,they do not want to be object in the hand of man , but they dont have courage and strength to act for this thing. I like this tilte “In search of our mother garden”because express the strength ,courage and care for the things that she really  wants.She really wants to care for her garden because she belive that if you make something with love and passion every thing that you want will realise,  you should never give up and kept doing what you really want to do. Everyone has a specific garden of theirs, they juts have to find it and make a positive change to do things more better.



The Bluest Eye , by Toni Morrison

The Bluest Eye tells the story of a young eleven year old black girl named Pecola .  In the story, Pecola desperately wishes to have blue eyes in order to be accepted amongst white children in America. Unfortunately, due to her skin color and the way she looks, Pecola's life severely changes in painful ways. She live in a family with her mother ,father and her brother.  Her mother  Pauline works as a housekeeper for a rich white family. She lived a horrible childhood and also suffers racism like her daughter Pecola. Her father is an  alcoholic ,violent and abusive. And she has the brother to. In this book is tell the story how Pecola was raped by her father  in horriblie way and this thing happen for the second time.She said this thing to her mother but she didn’t belive her. In this book the main themes are prejudice ,discrimination and rape. Pecola exemplifies this in the story because she is often verbally and physically abused by others along with being called "ugly" due to the fact that her skin is black and her eyes are not blue.In this story Pecola was prejudice for her skin and eye color and  I am disagree with this fact because everyone is unique in  their owm and no one should prejudice for those things. Pecola begins to believe that if she only had blue eyes, her family life would be completely different and people would love her. This is a wrong belife – that by changing your physical appearance you could change your all life. This thing is completely wrong because we do not have to change, to accept by others .We should accept ourselves  for who we are and not  what others want us to be.
