Pecola was an
Eleven year old black girl who feels as if being white is the true
meaning of beauty to society and to herself. The Title of this
Novel is The Bluest Eye written by Toni Morrison in the African
American Literature, The novel's focus, however, was on a young
girl named Pecola Breedlove. And Pecola, as we are told in Chapter
11,will be raped by her father around the novel's end. The
beginning states the story so that the reader can know about
