From TV and other media, it is easy for us to have a look at the black 's tragic life. Especially in the past, the black did not have equal rights in politics, and met unfair treat in life. They were treated no better than animals. What 's more, they were even treated as slaves, bought and sold from a buyer to another seller, and from home to a place far away. Simarlar discription of this kind of phenomenon is also common in many other literature works, such as Uncle Tom 's Cabin , and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and so on. The tragic life of the black comes into our eyes soon during reading these books, leading us thinking over their misery.And The Bluest Eye shows the discrimination of the black and their tragic life through discription of different characters ' misfortune in different periods, such as the youth of Cholly and Mrs Breedlove and the time when Pecola stayed with my sister and me(the narrator). Though itseems a little illogical without a main point or a main character, in fact alltheir misfortune are of the same theme. All their misfortune was causesd by discrimination, and made up the whole story. It was true that most of time, the balck still lived together with their blackfellows. And it seemed that they should have lived easily and happily, far away from the disturbance of the white. However, things do not turn out the way you want, their life still went under discrimination, and the discrimination filled everywhere in their life. And they even began to complain about the fact that they are black instead of hating the white. They even thought discrimination was common and they deserved it. Though the black lived together with the white in the same world, they seemed to live in two totally diffferentl evels. The balck are in the low, and the white in the high.All the balck, no matter old or young, or how much they have experienced, begin to hate the white and almost everything related to them. However, they were still in another contradition. The balck hate the white, but still admire their privilege and what they possess. For example, all the balck girls wish to have blue eyes of white girls.nSymbolism of blue eyes :It is true that black girls hate white girls, for example, the narrator even wants to beat or even killl all the white girls every time she sees them, and she destroys all her dolls just because they look like white girls.However, black girls still admire what white girls possess, for example, the blue eyes, and every black girl wishes to have blue eyes eagerly.However, in my opinion, the blue eyes is only a symbol. It stands for all the privilege that white people own over black people. It does not mean that black people are greedy or in want of something beyond expectation. It proves that black people only want equal rights, in politics, and at least in living on the same world. However, blue eyes were born to white girls, but not black girls. And blue eyes can not be installed to black girls. So it also implies that the black have too much difficulity in achieving their goal to gain equal rights as the white. And it seemed that they were destined to live under discrimination, and have no way to rebell.The narrator, as a girl of about 7 or 8 years old, has not so muchexperience of being bullied by white people. However, she seemed born to know that black people were discriminated by white people, black people should hate white people, white people and black people can not become friends, and white people are devils who should be killed. In my opinion, it is because discrinimation against the black has been a common phenomenon, and maybe a law which is deep rooted in everyone 's mind. It is really a pity for black people to have such awareness that they were born to be discriminationed, and more a pity for white people to think they have such superiority than the black.After being discriminated for so many years, many black people have ever tried to rebell. However, they still failed again and again though they have once cried, bled and even died. Their strike ,parade and speech were all repressed.mReason of discrimination against the balcks :In my opinion, there are two reasons causing the discrimination against black people. One main reason is certainly from white peole, and the other is from black people themselves.1. From white people .The white people alwayse thought they were born to have thesuperiority over other races, especially black people. And because oftheir complex relationship with black people since long ago in history, they naturally regard black people as slaves, even less important than animals. Also, because of the skin color of black people, and other features in appearance and behavior, white people show much disgust. They thought balck people were impolite, and uncivilized. And then even black people 's culture seems “black ”in the eyes of white people, owning a lower status, and named as non-standard. For example, the balck English is regard as a bad variety of English. It is really discrimination against from body to soul.2. From balck peopleThe discrimination from white people makes black people born with awareness that they are in lower status. For example, the narrator, though at a young age without too much experience of being bullied by white people, hates white people and things about white people. Of course black people hate this kind of judgement, and try to go against it, and hate white people. However, personally, the fact that black people hate white people, on the other hand, tells that they admit that they are in a lower status. Because they admit their own inferiority ,they admirewhite people 's privilege, for example, the blue eyes.In fact, black people need no such inferiority. If they can alwayse remember that they are no less important, and they are equal with everyone else in the world, and they have the right to have their own special culture, it will be easier for them to win in the fight for equallity. And it is an affirm fact that everyone was born equally. Only when all black people are clear about it, can they get rid of the fate of being discriminated.IVConclusionThe tragedy happened to Pecola makes every reader feel a pity, and disappointed about the discrimination. I am sure that there must be something similar going on everywhere in the world. However, it is useless to alwayse complain about it, and aimless rebellion is useless, too. The first and most important thing for the balck to do is to change their concept and awareness about themselves. The concept is that black people were born equally with white people, in politics, and in the right of living on the same world, and white people have nothing better that is worth admiring 。
