18. The Bluest Eye _ Volume 1: Autumn

This section contains pages 9-58. the author introduces us with her characters; the MacTeers, the Breedloves, and the 3 whores. Now lets have a deeper look:

The MacTeers:

• Claudia, 9-year old girl, the narrator
• frieda, her sister, 10 year old girl
• Big Mama
• Mr. Henry, the roomer
• Rosemary Villanucci, white neighbour who eats bread

The Breedloves:

• Sammy, 14 year old boy
• Pecola, 11 year old
• Mrs. Breedlove, mom
• Cholly, the dad, alcoholic
  

They call their mom with her name because of respect and fear, but we would see later a surprise about that :D
The surname is ironic because in family they don't breed love, they always fight instead

The 3 Whores:

• China
• Poland, who sings blues
  
• Miss Marie, fat one
