The Bluest Eye #9

It's sad that Pecola questions about love because all she sees is abuse and pain from her family.
On page 57 it says "What did love feel like? she wondered. How do grown-ups act when they love each other?"

This book is also full of similes and metaphors. For example, "Winter moves into it and presides there. His eyes become a cliff of snow threatening to avalanche; his eyebrows bend like black limbs of leafless trees." This shows how their father is full of anger? I think. These similes and metaphors are important because it helps readers understand the story.
