This picture shows Lilli, Marilyn, and a few of the other girls who were part of the protest against wearing skirts on cold days. I chose to portray this because this is when Lilli started to become accepted by girls other than Marilyn. There was still the struggle going on between her and Mrs. Davidson, but this shows that she was really starting to become involved and making friends with the other girls.
I drew a picture of Lilli at this time in the book because it shows that Lilli wasn't going to let something unfair like this happen to Marilyn, probably because of all the unfair things that had happened during the war; she didn't want to be a victim again. I put her in front of the other girls walking into the school because she was the one who started the whole protest after Marilyn was suspended. This picture shows that Lilli was wiling to stad up for what's right.
You have nicely captured the significance of this protest. Yes, Lilli should be leading as she is beginning to really live her life here. She also brings much more depth and understanding of discrimination and unfairness to the situation than did any of her new Canadian peers.
