The Bluest Eye Annotated Image

This image reminds me of Pecola from the story, The Bluest Eye, because in the section, winter,  she is constantly thinking whether or not someone else has bluer eyes then here. This image shows the robot scratching his head which makes me connect it to Pecola when she is always wondering about something. It seems like she is insecure about herself and wants to be known in society. However, she has to find a way to feel and get accepted into society which is why she doesn’t want any competition for herself. Perhaps the only thing that makes Pecola feel good about herself are her eyes. Because of that, she doesn’t want anyone to take away her one golden ticket into society. Without the blue eyes, she feels like she is an outcast.
