This week in The Bluest Eye, we uncovered how much African Americans did not like their own appearance
and lifestyle. We also dwelled upon how the African American has tried to mimic
other cultures to be more accepted into society. So than I thought is there any
situation or event that whites or other cultures try to fit into or at least
change their appearance completely. And then I noticed it was closer than
expected : Halloween. Ah the time to dress up as are favorite celebrities,
characters or creature for jokes, laughs and parties. Although, being a person
that hasn’t celebrated Halloween since I was in the 1st grade, I don’t
see the point of it all anymore. What is the meaning of this Holiday? Is it to
scare people? Is it to live in the life of someone else for a day? We have all
seen the dedication some people put into their costumes and it seems like they
are so dedicated into leaving their own personality to disguise themselves with
another one. I know that it is commercialized as just a fun thing to do but is
it really for fun or is it to view ourselves as “superior” beings?
