In Uncle Wiggly in Connecticut by J.D. Salinger, Eloise is cynical because she tragically lost her husband in the war, and now she feels completely alone. As a result, she tries to force Ramona to grow up faster than she is ready to. This frightens Ramona, and causes her to become more reluctant and shy around people, and to prefer her imaginary friends over real ones. Therefore, Eloise is alone and so is Ramona, but they refuse to find a happy medium between the two of them so they do not understand or accept each other.
