PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Mansfield expertly weaves a tale of the differences in social class. The distinct personalities, even in a playground full of little girls, is just a small cross-section of the society in which they lived in. Even at a young age, the two Kelveys remained segregated from the rest of the group.

The meek, happy-go-lucky attitudes of Lil and Else portray the lowest working class in a more likable perspective because even though they endure hardship, they retain a positive attitude.

On the other hand, the Isabel and Lottie Burnell, along with their older relatives, were rather snobbish about their high class, eliciting feelings of disgust from the reader. However, the fact that Kezia Burnell was kind enough to invite the Kelveys over to see the doll house shows that not everyone fits their stereotype.

Mansfield does an excellent job of portraying a lesson of kindness regardless of the recipient's social status. The story is versatile in the way that it can be read as a children's story or analyzed with deeper meaning and symbolism.
