March 27 Blog 8 Reflection 1. One area of growth I have seen in this paper is my use of collecting information and using it effectively. 2. My strength on this paper would have to be my introduction I started the paper off good. 3. An area I need to continue to work on is my conclusions to my papers that would be my weak spot. 4. Another area I need to work on is my organization of the paper and where I am going with it, try to not ramble as much. I am doing this project on the author Toni Morrison. This is going great and has been a ton of fun to write about and look up. This has been pretty easy throughout the whole process and have learned a lot about english and how to do a works cited page and a bibliography. I cant wait to finish it up next week! **Look at my face I have "The Bluest Eye"** Characters: Claudia- Was the main narrator through out the whole book and was a lonely lost human being. Pecola- Was in a bad situation with her family and her becoming a women in the middle of the book didn't help. Mr. Henry- Always smelled and looked his best, the girls would always talk about him and how he smelled. Frieda- Was one of Claudia's best friends who was also lost by herself and had no one to help her through her struggles. Plot:  The plot was in a big city but in a very bad neighborhood where all the poor kids lived because either there parents left them or they didn't have jobs which is really sad to think about. Rating:  I would give this book a 4 because it was an easy read for me and had a great plot and great characters to go with. Wiki Reflection:  I would say in my own opinion that the wiki spaces we have been doing are a great idea and help people find out more about books than just there own I would keep this going! **Man look at them! They are "The Bluest Eyes"** February 7, 2012 I am on page 190 and only have 30 more pages to go before this book is finished! I cant wait to finish this great read, The book "The Bluest Eye" is truly a great read for high school kids that are also searching for themselves as in this book and life. **I love you because you have "The Bluest Eyes"** January 27, 2012 "You are as Barelegged as a yard dog!" this is my favorite quote so far in [|"The Bluest Eyes"]because it is very funny because she never wears socks just because she doesn't want too and her mom yells that quote at her which made me laugh very hard. This book has been great! can't wait to finish it up. **You sure do have "The Bluest Eyes"** January 20, 2012 Recently happening in my book is Claudia is a lonely girl who no one listens too and her mother is rarely ever home to see her so she rides along with her friend Frieda. Her and Frieda struggle they are very cold a lot of the times and don't live in very good conditions either. She is also very nice to people such as Pecola's in which Claudia knows her fate.

I have just picked the book[| "The Bluest Eye"] by Toni Morrison. I chose this book because the cover really drew me into the story and brought interest to me, also Mrs. Olson told me about how great of a author Toni Morrison is and I wanted to see just how great Toni really is. She is the winner of the Nobel Prize in literature, which is always a good author. I am really looking forward to start reading this book I will let everyone know how it is next blog.
