Quote #4
There was this girl, who I thought was the teacher, but she turned out to be a kid in our class. She was very tall (that's why I thought she was the teacher) with eyes shaped like a cat's. You could see the outline of her bra through her blouse and you could also tell from the front that it wasn't the smallest size. (4.13)
Laura Danker is a reminder that appearances can be deceiving. Though she's often reduced to what she looks like, she ends up teaching Margaret this lesson better than anyone later on.
Quote #5
I took off my dress and put on the bra. I fastened it first around my waist, then wiggled it up to where it belonged. I threw my shoulders back and stood sideways. I didn't look any different. I took out a pair of socks and stuffed one sock into each side of the bra, to see if it really grew with me. It was too tight that way, but I liked the way it looked. Like Laura Danker. (7.1)
So even though Margaret follows the rest of the girls in judging Laura Danker because of how she looks, Margaret wants to look like her. That's pretty hypocritical, if you ask us.
Quote #6
Grandma smelled delicious. She was wearing a green suit and had on lots of green eyeshadow to match. Her hair was silver blonde. Grandma's hair color changes about once a month. (8.10)
