ghgvgcgc {pecola.jpg} The first critic talked about how The Bluest Eye symbolized the breakdown of community and family support in African American communities in the mid-twenties. She gave many examples, the book screamed her thesis. Just look at Pecoa's homelife, her father and mother would beat eachther, fight and beat their children too. To me the critic ut herwork together vey well and was easy to search though and find information. The second critic spoke about how motherhood is different in blak and wight house holds. She gavea good amount of references to The Bluest Eye, specificaly the differences in Pecoa's household and Rosemary's houshold. One is deprived and the other spoilded. I Feel the second critic did well on organizing the information, but I do not completely agree with her, due to that, at least now-a-days, the households do not seem to differ much.
