By result of the community's disconnection, Pecola is left by herself dealing with her inner demons. With blacks wanting to assimilate into white culture within the 1940's and 1950's, there was a lot of separation within the race. As stated in the novel " She had to explain to him the difference between colored people and niggers...Colored people were neat and quiet; niggers were dirty and loud." Many Black-Americans didn't want to be associated with the lower-class blacks, which Pecola is very much classified as. This contradicting mindset many blacks had at this time is the reason no one in Pecola's community made the effort to help
