After trying so hard to become beautiful and things going bad the harder she tried, she just gave up. As is the case in Toni Morrison"tms story. Pecola, being a child, did not know that her wish was just not possible. The characters in her story think that they are ugly, by others opinions of them, and want to become beautiful so they will be recognized and be the center of attention. So she thought if she had blue eyes, things would be different and she would be recognized and become beautiful. Although Pecola never really got blue eyes, she thought she did and it was enough to fulfill her needs. People only strive for becoming beautiful because they want attention. I don"tmt believe I ever did get over that" (123). Pauline seemed to have just worse case of bad luck, when she was a child she stepped on a nail and she was left with a limp forever. Pauline gave up on her quest to become beautiful, the harder she tired the worse things got. I had good teeth, not a rotten one in my head. But she was a kid and didn"tmt know any better.
