“Maggie will be nervous until after her sister goes: she will stand hopelessly in corners, homely and ashamed of the burn scars down her arms and legs, eying her sister with a mixture of envy and awe. She thinks her sister has held life always in
the palm of one hand, that "no" is a word the world never learned to say to her.”
2. Based on the above passage, what is an inference that can be made about Maggie and her sister Dee?

It seems like Maggie sees her sister Dee as perfect. She wants to be more like her. It says that Maggie was "eying her sister with a mixture of envy and awe." According to this story, Dee always gets what she wants. The narrator says that the world has never learned how to tell Dee "no." Maggie is self conscious about her burn scars, and it seems like she is even more self conscious around her older sister.
