I started with winter section to this book because I understood clearly this section. I needed to read Autumn section again and I did but I had no time to comment for that. So, I will write about autumn section after winter section.
In this section, the new caharacter which is called Maureen Peal appears in the winter section. She is new girl in school which Frieda, Claudia and Pecola went. She is black and rich. Whole school adore her because she is superior. One day, when they go to their home they started to talked. They talked about naked man and Pecola's father as sleeping naked. Claudia and Frieda tried to stop conservation about Pecola's naked father. I can guess about them. I think they afraid from sexual thing because they tried to stop her words. Because they know Pecola had injuries about sexual harresment. After that, this conservation turns about uglyness. Maureen said them that they were ugly because of thair skins were black. They hurts. So, we can see the reaction againt to be black.

Next, there is a family, Geraldine, Junior, and the black cat. Grealdine is a mother who cares to her black boody and her clothes. Junior is Geraldine's son. Mother said to her son to play with white children because she believe there is a class between black and white people so Junior growns with this ideas. So, when he net with Pecola and he kellied the cat but he said that his mom, Pecola killed the cat. When she said her: "nasty little black bitch", we can understant her ideas about class between black anad white people. There is and racism in this section as we see.
