The Bluest Eye: Socratic Seminar further analyzed interesting parts of Morrison’s chapter, autumn. First, I thought it was an interesting that white standards of beauty today are not as prominent as it was in the past, but as society evolved these issues plaguing our society has also evolved into different forms. For example, in the modeling career there is diversity among campaigns like Aerie and as Emily experienced first-hand, beauty touches today are with physical makeup instead of edits for a perfect beauty image. However, the pressure for beauty is still a problem, as Jamie said, when you search Google the first images that show up are white women and as Christina said, actors like Beyonce, a confident black female, have edits making them lighter, showing that there is…

Moreen’s relationship with Morgan is not common for a mother and her son. She treats him like a mere object and considers him to be worthless as he “fetch[es] her fan”. Readers can also infer that Mrs. Moreen speaks harshly of him because Pemberton is able to note that a “boy of eleven shouldn’t catch” the things she says. Nevertheless, she still has the caring heart of a parent and the reader can assume that she chose Pemberton because he was the most intelligent and wants the finest tutor for son, who must be dealing with a medical condition. Assuring Pemberton that his wage will be “quite regular”, he is able to understand that the definition of “regular” varies between…

In my opinion I do not believe that eye witness testimonies should be the sole evidence in a court case. Mainly because like Scott Fraser said eye witness identification is foul. There is up to 280 documented cases where people have been wrongfully convicted of a crime. Three quarters of those cases involved only eye witness identification testimonies during the trial that convicted them. He said that even under the best observation conditions we can only detect and store bits and pieces of the entire experience in front of us.…
The collaborative experience described in the essay “Eyeball to Eyeball,” does resemble an activity where I had to collaborate with other people. I will be giving two examples of when I needed to collaborate with other people. The first example is from when I was on the Gymnastics Team in High School, we had to collaborate to make floor and beam routines. To make a floor or a beam routine, was no easy tasks. Multiple people would be involved, including the person who would be performing the routine, and two to three creative people from the team.…

I would pay $79.95 dollars to go through this scanner just to be on the safe side of things. I think if they hired me to be a security guard I could take out the bad people. I would take the job.…

The structure of the eye contains several complex structures that make the eye like so of a camera. Without using complex equipment to view all parts of the eye or dissecting it, one can see three structures of the eye: the sclera, the iris, and the pupil.

The black dot one can see in the middle of the iris is known as the pupil. The pupil is in charge of letting light into the eye.…
