It sounds weird to say this but one of my favorite conflicts in the story is when Pecola is being bullied by some boys in school, they kept calling her names when Freida and Claudia came to defend her. Their attempt doesn’t help, but when a pretty girl named Maureen chimes in the boys leave. Then the girls stroll around in the city and get ice cream.
