The Bluest Eye part 2

My reaction to the beginning of the Spring section in the book "The Bluest Eye", by Toni Morrison is that I felt that I enjoyed the book a lot more I understood more about how the book was written. The discussion we had in class really helped me to appreciate the book more than when I first read it. I had a feeling that Mr. Henry was not trustworthy because he had just decided to move in with Claudia's family and seemed too nice. I wonder what other secrets he is hiding. One thing I don't understand in this section is why Frieda is so upset that Mr. Henry molesting her will ruin her. I also don't understand why Ms. Marie is called the Maginot Line, is it some kind of symbolism? One of the biggest questions I have is why there are multiple narrations seen in this book and why the story is not really that linear. The story seems to jump from when Pecola is staying at Claudia's house, to before Cholly gets arrested, and to Claudia's later life. It makes this book very interesting and a little confusing to understand.
