Summarizer
This section takes place in the Chalmers’ new home in
the countryside. It involves Meg, her
sister Molly, and their mom and dad. It also introduces their neighbor, Will. Meg
describes Molly as being the pretty daughter and herself as being the smart
one. Meg talks about how Molly had
already made friends through the cheerleading squad at school and how she was
already popular. She describes Molly as
having a figure and discusses how different she is from her. Meg says Molly’s goal in life is to me
married to someone while Meg’s is to have her name known for something
important. Meg’s problem is that she is
younger than Molly and not as outgoing so she hasn’t made friends as
easily. Later, Meg wanders down the road
and meets her neighbor, Will, with whom she becomes friends.
