Peggy and Maddie were closest friends. Peggy was the most popular girl in the class. She was pretty, had pretty dresses and could draw better than other girls. She was not really cruel but rather insensitive in teasing Wanda about her hundred dresses. Maddie was a poor girl who couldn't speak up against her friend and benefactor, Peggy. She wore handed down old dresses given by Peggy. In the end, she decided to speak up against injustice even if it meant losing Peggy's friendship.
