THESIS STATEMENTThe novel “The Bluest Eye” contains the black people’s acceptance of the idealized beauty of being white and having blue eyes and living in white-green houses and the writer tells the reader about the problems which this internalization of the powerful white culture causes in the lives of black beings by using ironies,comparisons and popular examples.

Dick and Jane * The Bluest Eye
There is a big irony.
The life in the Dick and Jane reader versus the life in the novel.
Pecola ‘s desire The beginning
sentences versus the subject in the chapter

The words above are from Jane and Dick readers and they describe the house as nice.
Ironically the paragraph starting after these words consists of the description of Pecola’s house: “….Rather,it foists itself on the eye of the passerby in a manner that is both irritating and melancholy.Visitors who drive to this tiny town wonder why it has not been torn down ,while pedestrians,who are residents of the neighborhood,simply look away when they pass it” (p.33).
