This family consists of Paulin 's mother, Collier' s father, Sammy 's son, Pekora' s daughter. The focus of this novel is in her 11 - year - old black girl, her daughter trying to conquer the game with self - hatred. Every day she encounters racial discrimination not only from Caucasian but also from her own race. In their eyes she is too dark, her dark skin suggests she is inferior, and according to others, her skin makes her more "ugly". She feels she can overcome this conflict of self-hatred by getting blue eyes, but it is not any blue. She wants blue eyes. This short story offsets the two viewpoints. One is a tragic result of racial discrimination, the other is racial discrimination and boycott.
