Blog 121214 - My signature passage

The Girl Who Fell from the Sky page 58
This passage when Rachel describes the first black Miss America is one of my favorite passages. Rachel is saying how white-looking the woman is, and how non-white-looking black women are happy about her being Miss America because she's black even though they look nothing like her. Rachel and the first black Miss America both have blue eyes, and Rachel feels like she could look pretty like her. Rachel cuts off her hair so that she doesn't have nappy hair to feel beautiful. Rachel tries to change herself to "look less black" to be pretty.
