ENG 102-10. Seminar Presentation

We made our seminar presentation about the book " The Bluest Eye". Our theme was The Great Depression, Morrison's style and search for love of the characters Cholly, Pauline and Pecola. The writer's style is very impressive she uses metaphors, similes and imageries for explaining and transmitting the story to her readers. She used mostly the metaphor of seed, which means individuals, Pecola's womb etc. I really liked this writing style. There are many metaphors in the book like "earth" and "black dirt" but one of the metaphor was really make me think about it "martyrdom". Mrs. Breedlove goes regularly to Church she is a Church women type. On the other hand her husband Cholly is an alcholic and made mad things in his past ( still does anyway). Mrs. Breedlove thinks that she can save Cholly from hell with her help for quitting alcohol or make his life ordered. If he stops drinking then she wouldn't have any purpose in her life. She wants to be an "idol" humanbeing for God and Jesus so when Choll is a good person than she won't have any aim for cozy up Jesus. I think about that if my husband were Cholly what will I do? Am I help him for my religous belief? I really don't know that but I am sure about that I don't want such a partner.
