The words that Morrison uses to describe things throughout the book creates a very vivid and clear picture in my head. I thought this section was interesting but very disturbing to read at times. At one point in this section there were two black boys picking on Pecola, “It was the contempt for their own blackness that gave the first insult its teeth” (Morrison 65). I thought it was interesting that they were teasing Pecola about the color of her skin even though they were black too. I thought this represented their hate and frustration with being black. They are making fun of her being black because they hate being black themselves.
