Question
Why is Maddie embarrassed by the questions Peggy asks Wanda? Is she also like Wanda, or is she different?
Solution
Maddie feels embarrassed by the questions Peggy asks Wanda because she is poor herself. But, she is not as poor as Wanda. Moreover, she doesn't belong to an immigrant community. Maddie also wears somebody’s hand-me-down clothes.
She has no sympathy for Wanda. She apprehends that the others might mock her too. She thinks that she is different from Wanda because she would never claim that she had a hundred dresses as Wanda did.
