Response to first part of The bluest eye

Well initially my first response to this was kinda scary. It seems like Claudia our main character has a good life. Although, it seems that her mom blames everything on her and makes her feel bad and she thinks her life is hard until when she realizes her parents care. It is seen when she says she knows someone loves her because you see her say that her mother came and kissed her on the forehead after what happened with her and the puke. I was a little confused about the things with the out and outdoors because until it was explained I had no idea what it meant. The italic part at the beginning was what through me off because it was just in your face. I am curious to see what happens with Pecola, although the italic part was kinda like a foreshadow of events to come. I am just a little timid sob this book now. The writing is great but the plot seems so, different. And I am looking forward to seeing how the author connects everything and how it goes. I am very curious to see how the title comes into the story and wraps it all together.
