Puzzle Paragraph Two

While others may say that they aren't influenced by society's standards, the truth us that they really are in some way, shape, or form.  In Toni Morrison's novel, The Bluest Eye,  she references a distant conversation she had with a girl named Pecola.  In this conversation, Pecola expresses her longing for blue eyes.  However, Toni doesn't think that Pecola should have blue eyes and tries to make it seem like she isn't profiling. Toni believes that Pecola shouldn't be a lone ranger and accept her looks as who she is.

From this forward, I can tell that beauty and color are going to be two main themes throughout this book. If Pecola keeps trying to change herself based on society expectations, then she will dig herself into a pit of hopelessness.  This pit is sort of like a casino; once someone starts gambling then it becomes impossible to stop.  I expect Pecola's path to be similar to a fire, consisting of destruction and suffering  Although this book isn't a memoir, it will still have the same effect as one.  I am sure verisimilitude will be used throughout this book as the characters fight a battle against society's norms.
