A teacher brought this to my attention by asking posing the questions вЂњIs this novel boring? Do you think they put PecolaвЂ™s pregnancy by her own father is included in the beginning so that it would not beвЂќ (Works)? While I did not edit this book, this suggestion does seem to be very possible, and if true, a great amount of the novelвЂ™s integrity is lost. In addition, this novel can drag on quite extensively in summaries or scenes that are seemingly page fillers. The coincidences in The Bluest Eye seem to be extremely lazy writing that is utilized in an attempt to progress any sort of plot that the novel has, if it even does have one. In Huckleberry Fin by Mark Twain, the writing becomes the readerвЂ™s reality, and there are minimum coincidences that do not take away from the writingвЂ™s greatness. This novel is supposed to become reality for the reader, which is successfully done, except when there are coincidences that occur seemingly to drive whatever plots, if any, that the novel contains.

I do believe that the novel is eye-opening to the horrors of being an African-American child during the 1940вЂ™s, but that these awful situations are not enough to make it a вЂњGreat American NovelвЂќ. I believe that The Bluest Eye is a very good piece of literature, but it should not be considered a вЂњGreat American NovelвЂќ.
