By entering Samara's thoughts, the point of view allows readers to understand her motives for taking action.
The passage would contain scenes at the library and the zoning meeting, but would not show how Samara got the idea for a park.
Explanation:
The story is told from the point of view of Samara and allows the reader to enter into her thoughts to understand why she does what she does. For instance, the reader is able to understand that she got the idea for the park from seeing children play in cramped spaces and from seeing Mrs. Yang having only a limited space to plant vegetables.
If the story had being from the point of view of Wanda, the reader would not know why Samara came up with an idea for the park as Samara did not tell her in the story. It would also only show scenes at the library and the zoning meeting because those are places where Wanda and Samara interacted.
