Arguements

Over time there have been many works of literature that have conveyed the struggles and/or triumphs of African Americans. Two works of literature that stand out from the rest are The Bluest Eyes By Toni Morrison and The Souls of Black Folks by WEB DuBois. Among these two pieces of literature only one portrayed the struggles and/or triumphs of African Americans better than the other people would argue. The Bluest Eyes, by Toni Morrison portrayed the struggles and/or triumphs of African Americans better than The Souls of Black Folks by WEB DuBois for numerous reasons. One reason why Morrison portrayed humans struggles better than WEB DuBois because she used direct characterizations and racial tensions in a black society to develop a better understanding in the readers mind, unlike the other reading where information is given to the reader in a boring manner. Another reason why Morrison did a better job portraying the human struggle is through symbolism which is used very often in the novel.
Also Morrison developed the way she portrayed human struggles by using real life experiences people faced in society. In The Bluest Eyes by Toni Morrison She used direct characterizations and racial tensions in a black society to develop a better understanding in the readers mind about the struggles they faced. In the novel Pecola faced a lot of discrimination. One example of her facing discrimination was in the store when she went to buy candy. Another example pecola facing racism is when she was taunted by the children at school and in the community on several occasions. One example of this occurred when a group of boys made fun of her, saying, “She also knew that when one of the girls at school wanted to be particularly insulting to a boy, or wanted to get an immediate response from him, she could say. ‘Bobby loves Pecola Breedlove! Bobby loves Pecola Breedlove!’ and never fail to get peals of laughter from those in earshot, and mock anger from the accused.”
