How does the event described in this passage move
the plot forward?
The first time I visited Meg's house, she took me upstairs
to her room, and I wound up trying on her clothes. We
were pretty much the same size, since Meg was shorter
and thinner than average. Maybe that's how we became
friends in the first place. Wearing Mog's jeans and T-
shirt, I looked at myself in the mirror. I could almost pass
for American - from the back, anyway. At least the kids
in school wouldn't stop and stare at me in the hallways,
which was what they did when they saw me in my white
blouse and navy blue skirt that went a couple of inches
below the knees.
