Mama's decision to give quilts to Maggie has a development on the plot by creating the rising action. Mama can see that Maggie really wants and deserves the quilts.
Hope that helps you
The answer is
To tell Penelope about her son's return.
He was upset because Renee was supposed to do the heavy (yell and scream at Bella for making bad choices) but doesn't. So Charlie went moping around till the wedding came so technically he was upset that Renee hadn't rat Bella out.
This would be diction. Diction, by definition, the choice and use of words and phrases in a speech or writing. The authors diction determines the tone or mood of the story. For example, if the author described something as being depressing or something like that, it would be a lot more effective and more intense than just sad. I couldn't really come up with a better example than that lol but I hope this helps!
