Waverly says she likes her nose for it makes her look devious. The following quote is Waverly's definition of devious.
"'We mean what we say, but our intentions are different'" (266). This sentence is a
compound sentence because it is made up of two independent clauses combined with a coordinating conjunction. The quote describes the title of the chapter: double face. Lindo went back to China and dressed as she had when she was there, but now she knew she was American.
