Asynchronous Friday March 12

My thoughts about the book I choose to read were mainly focused on confusion since I really was lost in what was going on in the book and the different points of views that were being switched around. At the end when I was reading the Authors Note it felt like clarity was finally reaching me since it helped clear all the confusion the was filling my head since I couldn’t really figure out the whole plot of the story.

I thought at the the story and writing were kind of messy since it felt like I was just being stung along in so many directions and I was fighting to not be dragged on the ground. Not after being able to talk to my group I feel the the writing was messy, it was just written in a way to be perceived as messy to me. Why it felt messy to me is that I have read the Heroes of Olympus series and that is a really good at switch between points of view and keeps it simple to understand what is going on in the story. Now looking back the story is kind of sad to think about and just how it affects the characters differently.

For Pecola I felt bad for her since at the end she basically went insane trying to prove she had the bluest eyes in the world. I also felt bad for her since was raped by her own father and was forced to carry the baby, even though everyone else wanted the baby to die. When I fish meat the characters Claudia and Frieda I couldn’t really relate them so I honestly did care for the and athletic the end of the story were they were praying to Pecola’s baby to live I somehow felt that they redeemed themselves in my eyes. I actually like China,Poland,and Miss. Marie since they seemed like these wise and mysterious older ladies and then we find out that they basically are whores, and then I didn’t really know how to feel about that. I was like ‘oh, okay’ and just moved to the rest of the story. Maureen I kind of llooked her I guess it just she was like so much of a forgettable character for me, but I did remember her saying something about throwing the end of the cones out since there is a dead fly stick there. Soaphead Church I didn’t like him because he was like a frighten prick and a narcissist in my opinion and my opinion of hime just keep going down as I kept reading more about him. I especially hated him since he basically forced pecola to kill the old many dog that basically was dying, but still the little girl wanted blue eyes not kill a animal. Then he went a wrote a letter basically being like ‘Dear God, I know I paraded around pretending that I am actually religious. Even though I hate like all human except little girls who I like to touch. But today I had to do your job because this little black girl just wants blue eyes and that it, and you couldn’t even do that.’ I didn’t like Ms, Pauline/Polly at the end where she basically hates her daughter of the way she looks and is so rude to her. Though at first I kind of felt bad for her since she does have a deformed foot which makes her view herself as ugly. And Cholly I didn’t like him at all throught the story and he never really made himself able to be liked to me.
