These two week I have read about the situation of Pecola's family. They lived in a very shabby house. They lived because they were poor and black, and they stayed there because they believe they were ugly. One day, Cholly, Pecola's father, had come home drunk. And Mrs. Breedlove, Pecola's mother, asked him to take some coal for her. But Cholly didn't want to do it. Then they started to fight each other. Pecola's brother, Sammy, even screamed, "Kill him! Kill him!" Pecola was so afraid that she started to pray. Pecola thought if her eyes were different, her teeth were good, and her nose was not big and flat, she would be beautiful. Maybe Cholly would be different, and Mrs. Breedlove too. Each night, she prayed for blue eyes.
When I read this book, I deeply feel sad with the little girl, Pecola. Everything was not her fault, but she had to accept all of the harm. Racial discrimination exist in this society for a long time, and also made a lot of problem until now.
