Rita didn't go to Frank's dinner party because she felt that she did not know how to behave well in a party where she would meet people with a higher level of knowledge than hers.
Neither did she know what to say nor remembered anything about what she had learnt. Moreover, she did not know what dress to wear and what sort of wine to buy.
Anyway, after a long journey because of taking the wrong bus, she could get there. However, she did not dare to come in. She seemed to be very disappointed.

So this is what has happened, Lili... Now, what does this all mean to you? Here are some questions you may want to reflect upon:
1) Should Frank not have invited Rita?
2) Have college lessons prepared Rita for effective interaction with higher socio-economic classes? Where and how was she supposed to learn "what dress to wear and what sort of wine to buy"? Who should have taught her things like this?
3)Why might she feel "disappointed"?
4) Have you (either as a teacher or student) ever experienced a similar situation?
Looking forward to hearing more from you!
Big hug,
Gladys
