Answer:

to emphasize the narrator’s desire to dress like her classmates

Explanation:

<u>It is said in the story that Meg was dressed like all the other girls – this meant jeans instead of skirts, especially for riding a bike, and often a T-shirt. </u>

When the author tries these clothes at Meg’s house, she says she could “almost pass for an American”, meaning this is how she saw the majority of the children born and raised in the US to dress and what she regarded as the American clothes. <u>This part explains how much the author wants to feel part of the crowd and to dress like everyone else.</u>

Instead of jeans, the author had to wear a navy skirt her mother bought her. The family did not have money for different clothes, and it is evident this type of dressing, while common in China, was not as common in the American school author attended.

<u>The clothes in the story are the symbol for standing out and the wish for belonging.</u>
