I can’t tell which question is the “best,” so here are a few that I’ll have picked by Monday.
Based on The Bluest Eye:
In the beginning of the book Citizen Rankine inaugurate the style she will use during her entire book. Rankie uses secondary person and her writing style is poetic through out this book. So why does Rankie insert images in the book?
Images are very significant as they can have a different meaning to every person. Rankie uses images in her book as a tool for her to capture a broader meaning to her text. The use of images in Citizen is meant to relate both images and text together. By using images Rankie magnifies and highlights moment of her words as it complements her lyrics writing.
The very first in text image we see is a photo street sign that reads “Jim Crow Rd.” This images highlights the racism that is happening during that moment of the text. As the sign rd connects to “Jim Crow Laws,”. Jim Crow Laws targeted the black population. Not only that but it also draws the conclusion of the modern racism that is happening in the book since it’s a road sign. For example “You never really speak for the time she makes her request and later when she tells you you smell good and have features more like a white person. You assume she thinks she is thanking you for letting her cheat and feels better cheating from an almost white person (Rankine, Claudia. Citizen. Graywolf Press.)”. This shows some racist remarks as it illustrates how the girl who is trying to cheat justifies herself as it’s okay that she is because the girl is of a lighter complexion than other people of color. She also “compliments” the girl by trying to say how good she smells and how pretty she is for being a person of color. However the situation also shows a much more modern way to be racist as she doesn’t say it in a rude way and comes off as harsh. The girl simply says it in a normal tone of voice as it was a compliment she is giving. This reflects the image as many modern people might not see it as racist at all and don’t see a problem with it. You can also see more modern racism happening when an Rankie inserts an image of a photo of a wearable fabric sculpture, and a photograph of tennis player Caroline Wozniacki making fun of Serena Williams. This also shows how many people have forgotten that stuff like this is an act of racism.
I also wanted to bring up the cover I know it is representing the case of Trayvon Martin, but I wanted to relate it to a part of the book when Rankie brings up Zora Neale Hurston’s. She mentions the article “How it Feels to be Colored Me” and mentions a line in which it says “I feel most colored when I am thrown against a sharp white background”. I just found it ironic how Rankie also included a white background and the lettering and image of the book was black. This has so much meaning as it relates to what Zora Hurston.
Rankie uses images as a way to represent her text and add more to it. Rankie draws more attention to what is happening in society as well as she shows images of modern racism. 
The question is : Racism, its impacts on society, and ways to eliminate them?
based on the Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison
The Importance of the use of the “second/third person” in the novel and how it impacts the overall story. How does it affect the reader and if the novel would be as impactful if it was done in the first person compared to that like the Invisible Man?
“is there a ‘self self’ at all in Rankine’s work, or does this prove to be a fantasy?”
