Henry as a roomer because his rent money will help pay bills. Claudia and her older sister, Frieda, have just started school. We then segue into a lengthy flashback, to Autumn 1940, a year before the fall when no marigolds bloomed. She tells us that Pecola's father, Cholly Breedlove, is now dead, the baby is dead, and the innocence of the young girls also died that fall. She was only a child then, but she remembers that no marigolds bloomed that fall, and she and her friends thought it was probably because their friend and playmate, Pecola, was having her father's baby. Claudia MacTeer is now a grown woman, telling us about certain events that happened during the fall of 1941.
