9) Summer

And this is the last part of the novel. However, in my opinion, the most important part is the summer part. Because we see goodwill, purity, innocence and gossip, blame, suspicion, charge at the same time.
Pecola was raped by her father and the other people from town wanted her baby to die. Although this was not her fault, people from town were insulting her. And Mrs. Breedlove's attitudes to her daughter was not good. But, Claudia and Frieda were trying to help her by their marigold seed money. They collected and sold marigolds to buy a new bicycle. They sacrificed their money to Pecola. Although Frieda and Claudia were too young to understand everything, only tried to help her and they were the only one who made the correct decision.
Experiencing awful things made Pecola to have an imaginary friend. I read a lot thing about children's psychology and I learned that if a child has an imaginary friend, she or he maybe had a trouble or maybe feel lonely or maybe be exposed to bad treatments from her or his family... And many of these reasons were suitable for Pecola. :(
At the end of the story Cholly ran away and Mrs. Breedlove and Pecola were moved to another place.
I do not understant the attitudes of the people. And there was an irony in this book. When Mr. Henry touched Frieda, one of the neighbour gave a gun to Mr. Macteer. They blamed on Mr. Henry. However, in Pecola's situation, no one though Pecola and they wanted her baby to die. Mrs. Breedlove did not believe her at the first time, beat her. I do not understant that how people become like that. It is not fair...
