Answer 1

Claudia and Frieda already struggle with feeling ugly and unimportant because society says white features are beautiful, so Maureen’s presence makes those feelings worse; her light skin, pretty face, fancy clothes, and spoiled, attention-seeking attitude are the most disruptive. Maureen looks and acts like the kind of girl everyone admires, and that forces Claudia and Frieda to compare themselves to her and notice everything they think they lack. She also uses her charm and money to get special treatment, which shows how rules about beauty and class favor people like her and leave others feeling ashamed. In short, Maureen’s looks, wealth, and superior behavior highlight the girls’ insecurities and make their self-image crumble even more.
