the group situation

in my english class a few of us are reading the same book "the bluest eye", so today in class we discussed a few things about the book and how we actuallt felt about it. we all are at diffrent lengths of the book, but we all decided that we really dont understand alot of things, my teacher came to our group and said that tony morrison is kind of a hard person to be reading from and it's almost like she was a poet writting a book alot of metaphors and literary elements. but i guess il just keep reading the book and looking at spark notes to understand.
