Close Read of The Bluest Eye!!

So far, I have found this book to be very interesting and a lot better than I thought it was going to be. I haven't gotten as far as I should be in the book, but have really liked how the author uses the different seasons to tell the story. Iconography plays a HUGE role in this book, which, in my opinion is really what makes the text so powerful. The ideas about the dolls and Claudia's hatred of white dolls, actually has to do with her resentment of white girls. The symbolism and iconography of this book are what I like most about it so far.
