Question

In what way was Wanda different from the other children?

Answer 1

• Wanda was different from other children. She did not have any friends. She came to school alone and went home alone. She always wore a faded blue dress that did not fit her properly

Answer 2

Answer:

Wanda Petronski was a Polish girl whose parents had shifted to America from Poland. She was a source of amusement because of her name which her classmate had never heard before. They found it difficult to pronounce as Americans did not have such names. Hence, she was treated differently by he classmates.

She came to school all by herself and her feet were always caked with mud. She had no friends in the class. She preferred to sit in isolation as she feared being ridiculed by others. She had only one blue faded dress but she claimed of having a hundred dresses and sixty pairs of shoes when asked by Peggy and Maddie. These are some of the reasons which set her apart from other children
