Answers
Answer
Maddie made a decision that she would convince Peggy to stop teasing Wanda. She knew that she would never have that courage to speak in front of her. So she started writing a note to her.
While she was writing, she pictured herself in the school yard surrounded by many girls. Then Peggy would ask her about her dress and make fun of her poverty. She would ask her that how many dresses she had and she would have to reply that it was one of Peggy's old ones. This was what she was afraid for. Consequently, she ended up tearing the note.
Peggy was the most liked girl in the girl, So it was hard for Maddie to go against her.
The important decision that Maddie made was that she would never stand by. If she ever heard anybody picking on someone, she will say something. She will not let anyone make fun of anyone’s look or because they had strange names, she would speak up. She was feeling guilty for not saying anything when everybody else was teasing Wanda. This guilt made this decision so hard.
