Where in the classroom does Wanda sit and why?
Where does Wanda live? What kind of a place do you think it is?
Wanda lived in Boggin heights. The poor plight of Wanda's feet make it clear that it must be an undeveloped locality where Wanda lived.
When and why do Peggy and Maddie notice Wanda’s absence?
Wanda had not been attending school since Monday. Peggy and Maddie notice her absence on Wednesday because they want to make fun of her and they enjoy doing that. They got late to school that day waiting for Wanda outside the school.
What do you think “to have fun with her” means?
Peggy, Maddie and the other girls wanted to have fun ridiculing Wanda's poor clothes and shoes. They knew that she was very poor and didn't belong to their community. They always teased her by asking the number of dresses that she had.
