I remember reading a book called “The Bluest Eye” years ago. It made a strong impression on me. The story is about a black girl. People around her say that she is ugly, but she wants to be beautiful. She has a doll with blue eyes and dreams of having the same beautiful blue eyes as the doll. This novel was the first book written by Toni Morrison, a famous American writer. Morrison went on to write more than 10 novels and win the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1993. She passed away on Monday at the age of 88. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
