. . . I have just found out Ms. Sue died 2 years ago. All apologies, may you be unplagued by the rudeness of this world, Ms. Sue.
I feel embarrassed by my lack of knowledge. *cough*
Might SOMEONE still help me? Writeacher?
Can you all check my answers?
Here's the story:

And then this:
Revisit one section in the story you tagged with a sticky note or where you had a question. Write a statement or question about that section in the story.
"The woman’s hair is set in a mass of curlers and all of those curlers are made of paper money, here a dollar bill, there a five-dollar bill. The girl’s hair is arrayed in curls, but some of them are beginning to droop and
this makes me happy."
This is the part that I had tagged, not sure what to question or anything. Prompts, please?
Thank you!
