Eyes And Teeth ,

 In the story "Eyes and Teeth", Their's a character named Buzz, he's dark skin. Yet his mother doesn't like him because he's dark skin. She thinks dark skin people are ugly. This story is a little racist because the main characters mom, doesn't like him because of his skin color Buzz's mom is "black" too, they are a poor family with Rats in their house. Buzz suffers a lot just because of his skin color, he always gets talked about, his own family talks about him. Also he is very miserable. But in the end it all works out for the best.

    This story has many themes, One of the themes of this story is personality. At beginning of the story Buzz says how much he likes to be around the girl. It’s also personality because when Buzz hears his own mom say bad things about him he starts to change and act different, It’s also personality because when Buzz hears two conversation between his mom and the girl’s mom he reacts to it in a angry mood and very sad mood. This is when he really starts to change, and feels very miserable. 

 Another theme that goes with the story is racism.  This theme is another theme that can be found in the story.  When Buzz’s mother says “ I can’t stand to look at nothings but black”. This shows that his own mom is being racist against Buzz. Yet his own mom is also "black", but she just doesn't like Buzz ((her own son)) because he's very dark skin. When Buzz hears that he su changes and thinks that his mother is being racist to his color and how he looks. When Buzz hears this he feels very sad, and miserable. Then he starts to doubt and feel uncomfortable about himself, all because of the things his mom says.

    In conclusion to the story is after he hears the conversation between his mom and the girl’s mom he goes away for twenty years. The no one sees him for that tine. Until he comes back to go to his moms funeral , and when he was younger his mom always thought he was going to be unsuccessful with his life. But he returns to his moms funeral with his beautiful wife and two babies. He is also very wealthy, and you can say everyone was jealous of him.
