Choose to focus on Claudia or Pecola. Write a paragraph that ICEs two quotes from The Bluest Eye to complete an intersectional analysis of how Pecola or Claudia’s life is shaped by the intersection of her race and gender. You should use your analysis of two quotes to create specific debatable thesis about how racism and sexism shape that character. Do not forget to use MLA parenthetical citations.
Each quote should allow you to think about how both sexism and racism simultaneously shape that character’s experience.
● Try to ICE one quote from Winter #1-2 and one from Autumn #1-3
● Make sure your analysis of each quote explores both racism and sexism
● If your recollection of intersectionality is fuzzy, revisit Kimberlé Crenshaw’s TED Talk,
The Urgency of Intersectionality
