Peggy says, “I never thought she had the sense to know we were making fun of her anyway. I thought she was too dumb. And gee, look how she can draw!” What led Peggy to believe that Wanda was dumb? Did she change her opinion later?
On being asked about the number of dresses, Wanda always said she had a hundred dresses lined up in her closet. Peggy would get surprised because everybody knew that she was poor. Moreover, she knew everybody was laughing at her. But, she would keep saying stolidly that she had a hundred dresses lined up in her closet. This led Peggy to believe that Wanda was dumb.
She changed her opinion later when she saw the drawings of those hundred dresses Wanda had talked about. The beautiful drawings of hundred different dress designs impressed Peggy. She realized that Wanda was a talented girl.
