Pecola's poem

To see the world through blue eyes
must be happiness.
Everything would have that blue tint.
Bright.

Mine are brown,
and all I see
is tainted by that colour.
Dark.

If I had blue eyes
everything would be easy
and I would be happy.

I think you have managed to imagine Pecola's view on life, and I love your idea of everything being tainted by the colour of one's eyes. Well done!
