The Bluest Eye

Recently, I'm reading this book, "The Bluest Eye". Do you know the book? Toni Morrison wrote the book.

I have American Literature Class. In the class, reading three American literature is our homework. So I'm reading it, but I think this is my chance to read books. Actually, I didn't read any books recently, so this homework is a chance to read books.

At first, I began to read the book for my homework, but now, I'm reading it without an obligation to do my homework. This story is about a girl who is an African-American. This is not too old story, but in the time, many African-American couldn't work, study, make friends and live as White people do. There were racial discrimination very much. This story was in such a society.

A girl who was younger than me had became pregnant. Her dad had got her pregnant. When I knew this truth, I couldn't believe it. Why? You're her dad? I thought.

I have another American Literature Class. In the class, I watched a movie, Color Purple. This movie also describes African-American and pregnancy like The Bluest Eye.

Teacher said that it was issue in the time, but I couldn't believe that. It was strange, I thought. However as I study American literature, I became understand it. I know that I can't understand very well yet, but I think history of descrimination made this society.

I haven't finished reading the book yet. In the book, I often can't believe many truthes because these are so cruel, but I'll keep reading it. I hope that people know truths, and no more such things will happen.
