- Reading
- Read together at a comfortable pace, pausing when the sisters’ wishes diverge. Invite each reader to notice what Maureen and Fran want, then consider how both might feel.
- Themes
- Individuality and sibling closeness: Fran pursues activities and clothes that distinguish her from Maureen, while Maureen worries that they are growing apart. The contrast between Fran’s wish for more independence and Maureen’s worry gives the story its central relationship tension.
- Worth knowing
- Maureen experiences the sisters growing apart as upsetting. The plot also includes disagreement around changing interests and spending less time together.
