First Flight lesson solutions

QUESTION:

Why didn't Maggie ask Peggie to stop teasing Wanda? What was she afraid of?

SOLUTION:

Section 1: Background Context:

Here it has to be mentioned that Maddie was not born with a silver spoon as Peggy and was suffering from inferiority complex for a very long time. Since Peggy happened to be Maddie’s best friend, she didn’t want to help Wanda. Also, Maddie was afraid of being teased for her poor clothing.

Section 2: Explanation:

Maddie actually thought about writing Peggy a note to avoid asking Wanda about the count of dresses that she had. But she changed her mind later, owing to the fear that she might also be insulted the same way if she tried writing a note. Further, she thought that Peggy would ridicule her, if she found that Maddie is not in her side in teasing Wanda.
 
Section 3: Direct Answer:
 
Maddie was not in a position to do so, since she was afraid of Peggy and other girls, who could possibly make her the next target for bullying. She was also not willing to break the good relationship that she had with Peggie, by raising her voice in support of Wanda.
