ses in The Bluest Eye
 In the United States, beauty is the combination of blonde hair, blue eyes and white skin. This standard does not only exist in American society; but also in narrator’s view, it seems the core of Western civilization, the black community which lives in the aesthetic standards has experienced a very long psychological test. The Bluest Eye is composed of three kinds of discourses. Through the three kinds of discourses, Toni Morrison realizes her writing purposes, the self-denial discourse exposes the black people’s self-loathing psychology; the racist discourse enables readers to further understand the trauma of the black; and the constructive discourse shows hope in the black. So Morrison let us understand the psychology of the black and have a further understanding to appear this psychological reason.
 2.1 Discourse                                         
The term “discourse” is used by many in very different senses, some having little to do with language. For instance, the term “discourse of racial discrimination” as used in the Medias and some of the social sciences often refer not to the language use of those who practice racial discrimination but to the ideologies and belief systems generated therein.

 Understood as a medium, then discourse functions as a powerful tool through which social and political conventions beliefs and practices, ideologies, subject positions, and norms can all be mediated. Yet as we have seen, discourse does not simply serve as a connecting link between a stable, exterior society and the individual. All of these social values emanate from individuals who enunciate a discourse that is at the same not completely their own, a discourse which in turn implants and reinforces the notion it contains. Discourse always consists of both input and output, and is always at once an extension of our culture and of ourselves.
2.2 Self-denial Discourse of the Black
 Concerning to aesthetic standards for whites, Karaulin·Gerrard, a black writer points that those whose points have reached or are close to this standard believe that they are perfect , but those whose points have not reach this standard give up their self-image and they have the result of self-denial. This phenomenon is fatal to the immature psychological. Unfortunately Pecola lives 本论文由英语论文网提供整理，提供论文代写，英语论文代写，代写论文，代写英语论文，代写留学生论文，代写英文论文，留学生论文代写相关核心关键词搜索。
