The Bluest Eye • 1969
Here is the house. It is green and white. It has a red door. It is very pretty.

What it means
Our interpretation.
The passage describes a house through short statements, naming its colours and calling it pretty. The simple sequence gives each feature clear emphasis. Read on its own, it presents an orderly, approving picture of a home, without telling us anything about the lives within it.
