Miss Clairol Multi-Layered Questions

What is Champ looking for in her mother's closet? What might be the significance of owning a "special dress"? How does the significance between owning and not owning a "special dress" relate to the theme of poverty shown in the short story?

What does Pancha let Arlene borrow for her big date? What is the connection between Arlene's lack of her own dresses and the abundant amount of time she spends putting on make-up? How does drastic difference in physical appearance between Arlene and Champ relate to the differences in wealth among families and to the representation of the theme of poverty?
