In The March of Folly, historian Barbara Tuchman
expresses how she feels that wooden-headedness,
the source of self-deception, holds a large role
in political affairs. Wooden-headedness consists
of assessing a situation in terms of preconceived
fixed notions while ignoring or rejecting contrary
signs. This statement is a good one, it can be
argued that wooden-headedness is present in not
only political matters, but in all human affairs.
The writer agree with this, from reading the book

Misdirection of Anger Anger is better [than
shame]. There is a sense of being in anger. A
reality of presence. An awareness of worth. (50)

The Bluest Eye felt. They faked love when they
felt powerless to hate, and destroyed what love
they did have with anger. The Bluest Eye shows the
way that the blacks were compelled to place their
anger on their own families and on their own
blackness instead of on the white people who were
