Answer 1

Answer: Why Sally looks at her feet and walks fast to the house she "can't come out from"

Explanation:

In the Vignette, "What Sally Said", Sally speak of how she is abused by her father who believes that she might bring shame to the family like his sisters did when they ran away.

In order to guard against this he is very strict with her and hits her for any perceived wrongdoing and sometimes the beating is so bad she has to miss school. The is why she walks fast to the house so as to avoid provocating hom.

The one time she manages to get a sleepover, the father comes and pleads with her to come home. This shows that she doesn't get to leave the house often either.
