Why does Maddie stand by and not do anyt | Class 10 English - First Flight Chapter The Hundred Dresses - 1, The Hundred Dresses - 1 NCERT Solutions

Question:

Why does Maddie stand by and not do anything? How is she different from Peggy? (Was Peggy’s friendship important to Maddie? Why? Which lines in the text tell you this?)
 

Answer:

Peggy is the most popular girl in the classroom and Maddie is her closest friend in the class. Though, Maddie is poor, Peggy never teases her as she does with Wanda so Maddie is afraid of losing friendship with her. That’s why, she doesn't risk to annoy Peggy and prefers to remain silent. The line illustrates that, “Peggy was the best-liked girl in the whole room, Peggy could not possibly do anything that was really wrong”.
