When she comes i will meet — but there they are! maggie attempts to make a dash for the house, in her shuffling way, but i stay her with my hand. "come back here," i say. and she stops and tries to dig a well in the sand with her toe. it is hard to see them clearly through the strong sun. but even the first glimpse of leg out of the car tells me it is dee. her feet were always neat-looking, as if god himself had shaped them with a certain style. from the other side of the car comes a short, stocky man. hair is all over his head a foot long and hanging from his chin like a kinky mule tail. i hear maggie suck in her breath. "uhnnnh," is what it sounds like. like when you see the wriggling end of a snake just in front of your foot on the road. "uhnnnh."dee next. a dress down to the ground, in this hot weather. a dress so loud it hurts my eyes. there are yellows and oranges enough to throw back the light of the sun. i feel my whole face warming from the heat waves it throws out. earrings gold, too, and hanging down to her shoulders. bracelets dangling and making noises when she moves her arm up to shake the folds of the dress out of her armpits. the dress is loose and flows, and as she walks closer, i like it. i hear maggie go "uhnnnh" again. it is her sister's hair. it stands straight up like the wool on a sheep. it is black as night and around the edges are two long pigtails that rope about like small lizards disappearing behind her ears."wa-su-zo-tean-o! " she says, coming on in that gliding way the dress makes her move. the short stocky fellow with the hair to his navel is all grinning and he follows up with "asalamalakim, my mother and sister! " he moves to hug maggie but she falls back, right up against the back of my chair. i feel her trembling there and when i look up i see the perspiration falling off her chin. which line from the passage best symbolizes dee's character?
