Reading between the lines
Readers are detectives. We use details in a story as clues to understand its characters. Read this opening from J. M. Barrie’s Peter Pan, then look for what it tells us about Wendy and her mother.
READ & WONDER
All children, except one, grow up. They soon know that they will grow up, and the way Wendy knew was this. One day when she was two years old she was playing in a garden, and she plucked another flower and ran with it to her mother. I suppose she must have looked rather delightful, for Mrs. Darling put her hand to her heart and cried, “Oh, why can’t you remain like this for ever!”
J. M. Barrie · Peter Pan (1911), Chapter 1
