The loss of Margaret has caused Elaine to disconnect with the world around her both socially and faithfully. (SIP-A) Elaine began to pull away from her friends and other people around her. (STEWE-1) Since Margaret died, Elaine is alone and she needs to learn how to make her own friends. Her mother even told her that “Margaret is gone and that she would have to learn to do things with other people” (54).
