I think that the brown eyes and blue eyes thing was a great thing to do and at the same time a bad thing to do. I think that it really hit the kids and made them understand very well. I think as they grew up it helped them know that blacks and whites are the same. The kids that were on the bottom were affected a lot because they were getting their feelings hurt and they were feeling like an outcast. Being on the bottom I think affected them emotionally and made them learn a lot.
