The Bluest Eye: Socratic Seminar Questions

1. Like in "Trading Places", do you think Pecola is just a result of bad environment? Or is there another reason why her life played out as it did?

2. Do you think standards of white beauty exist today? If so in what way?

3. Do you think a certain gender is more understanding to race?

4. Do you agree with the way sex is portrayed in the novel?

5. Is the way Pecola's life plays out an accurate depiction of a black girl in the time period?

6. What in your opinion would be the best way to fight racism for Pecola?

7. What do the blue eyes represent other then Pecola's wish to be beautiful? What does it tell us about Pecola herself?
