Why is Maddie embarrassed by the questions Peggy asks Wanda? Is she also like Wanda, or is she different?
Maddie is embarrassed by the questions Peggy asks Wanda because she is also poor and understands what Wanda must be going through. She also wears dresses handed down by a rich family. Though she is an American, she can relate to Wanda in some ways and doesn't want anyone to tease Wanda because of her dress or her name.
