Her First Ball:
An Important
Idea: Isolation.
- Leila attends function
where she feels socially
out of place
- She faces the challenge of not being overwhelmed by the event:
This ball being so different to her experience of learning to dance
with other girls at boarding school.
- Reader can clearly see this with
the contrast between Leila and her
cousins.
- The determination to get
something positive out of a night
that has been so disastrous and
not just ‘give up’- this is an
important idea for teenagers to
learn from.
