But for PEOP, the components can affect each other and have interaction. Person as intrinsic factor and environment as extrinsic…
The exploration of the sense of self through both the “The Bluest Eye’ and “The Complete Persepolis’ can be distinguished as similar but severely complex. Bildungsroman formats the journey of love, independence and identity for characters development. ‘The Bluest Eye’ endures reconciliations between the protagonist, Claudia MacTeer and the world as she recalls a childhood memoir of being surrounded by “ruined” (Morrison, p.101) women, a corrupt family and a misfortunate lifestyle.

It is very important to understand that some groups will have greater influence than others. As much as I believe that our identities are the result of our group choices, I also think that society imposes what groups we are categorized in, based on race, class and gender. Ultimately, our social identity is related to the…
