Upon reading the story one can't help but feel anger towards Dee. She seems to think herself so big and superior to her sister, Maggie. Maggie who has scars and burns hates seeing Dee because she feels so worthless around her. And that feeling of worthlessness comes out when Dee tries to take the quilts intended for Maggie. It is really sad to see siblings fight and tear one another down like the way Dee does to Maggie. However, Maggie shows Dee in the end that she has a better heart than her and the mother seems to see that as well.
