Answer:Emely, I think that in the middle of the story, it slightly describes that they lived in a house before, the one that they actually lived. From my inference in the story, looks like Maggie suffered some burns from that and it is why Maggie is a bit underestimated in comparison with her sister Dee. It is why the mother always describes Dee as the most beautiful. Also Maggie makes Dee remember that past and Dee does not like it. It is why they do not get that much along each other
