Question

Peggy was not really cruel. She protected small children from bullies. And she cried for hours if she saw an animal

mistreated. If anybody had said to her, “Don't you think that is a cruel way to treat Wanda?” She would have been very

surprised. Cruel? Why did the girl say she had a hundred dresses? Anybody could tell that that was a lie. Why did she

want to lie? And she wasn't just an ordinary person, else why did she have a name like that? Anyway, they never made

her cry.

As for Maddie, this business of asking Wanda everyday how many dresses and how many hats, and how many this

and that she had was boring her. Maddie was poor herself. She usually wore somebody's hand-me-down clothes. Thank

goodness, she did not live up on Boggins Heights or have a funny name.

a) What was bothering Maddie? b) What showed Maddie’s poverty?
