Which two lines in this excerpt from "Inge's Wall" suggest that Inge was envious of

the people on the other side of the wall?

Aside from her school and other crumbling buildings in their neighborhood, their world was a few rooms in a dull, gray concrete flat with no yard and no trees.

The wall was part of the view from the only windows they had, and Inge was drawn to the sounds she often heard from the other side-laughter, shouting, music, and the noise of busy traffic.

Through the hole, Inge caught a glimpse of a whole new world.

It was a world of people who did not begin and end each day in shades of gray.

One fall day in 1990, as Inge headed for her favorite spot in the wall, she noticed that the towers from which the guards viewed her neighborhood were empty.

Others, mostly young men with a mix of other people, some of whom she recognized were at already at the wall or moving toward it.
