Jane Eyre, Childhood and Innocence

Heya.

For my English Coursework, I'm doing an essay comparing the portrayal of childhood and innocence in Jane Eyre and The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison. I knew this was going to be a challenge, but I would like your views not of the title of my work, but on the subject matter. In what ways can I compare the two novels? I've spent a lot of my word count talking about Jane and Pecola and how they are both portrayed as 'the Other', but I know that, for a good grade, I'll need to dig a bit deeper.

What do you all think?
