Question

write a note on the racial discrimination as expressed in the story the hundred dresses​

Answer 1

Explanation:

This story is about racial discrimination which many of us may have faced or may have meted out to others. When someone is different from the mainstream of society, he/she may have to face some sort of racial discrimination. This is a sad aspect of human life, but it happens in almost every country. This story is about a Polish girl who is living in America. The Polish girl is subjected to everyday humiliation for being different in terms of funny name, accent, unusually dress, etc. Some of the characters in this story may be indulging in harmless childhood pranks but those pranks are making an indelible impression on the person who is at the receiving end. This story also tells about the steely resolve which many people develop in unfamiliar circumstances because they have to survive in the new surroundings at any cost. Migration is like a one-way ticket to a place which can be foreign in many aspects. It can be very difficult to develop roots in the new surroundings. Finally, this story is also about the realization which people from mainstream society are forced to make that ‘different’ people are also human beings with similar potential and emotions.

Part I

Question 1: Where in the classroom does Wanda sit and why?

Answer: Wanda used to sit in the penultimate row of benches. She was from an immigrant colony and was from a poor family. Moreover, she seems to be a quiet person engrossed in her own world. She doesn’t like to mess with anybody. That is why she sits isolated from the main group of girls.

Question 2: Where does Wanda live? What kind of a place do you think it is?

Answer: Wanda lives on Boggins Heights. The fact that her shoes are covered in mud gives an idea that Boggins Heights is not a developed area. That can be like unplanned colonies or slums in present day India. You may notice that most of the new residential areas in Indian cities develop in unplanned ways. Especially slum areas don’t have proper roads or drainage system. This leads to waterlogging and creates unhygienic conditions.

The fact that Wanda was from Polish immigrant community gives an idea of the level of underdevelopment of Boggins Heights.

Question 3: When and why do Peggy and Maddie notice Wanda’s absence?

Answer: On a Wednesday when Peggy and Maddie waited for Wanda to have fun with her, they got late to school. Because they got late to school so they noticed Wanda’s absence.

Wanda was a non-entity for students from the mainstream section of society. This happens everywhere. You tend to notice street urchin only if there is some problem with him. Otherwise we seldom notice millions of destitutes roaming our street.
