Question
How does Maddie feel after listening to the note from Wanda’s father?
Solution
After listening to the note from Wanda’s father, Maddie had a very sick feeling in the bottom of her stomach. She could not concentrate when she tried to prepare her lessons. She had not enjoyed listening to Peggy ask Wanda how many dresses she had in her closet. However, she had always stood by silently and that was as bad as what Peggy had done. She had thought that they were being mean. She could put herself in Wanda’s shoes. Later, she even called herself a coward.
