Question

Why does Wandas house remind Maddie of Wanda’s blue dress?

Answer 1

Hint:Eleanor Estes is the author of The Tale of The Hundred Dresses. It is a tale based on the author's true experiences. "The Hundred Dresses II" explains that Wanda Petronski was away from school in the continuation of the previous lecture. The Petronski family wanted to move to a major city where their unique name wouldn't matter to anyone.

Complete answer:
The house of Wanda was sparse, ancient and laden, but tidy and clean like the blue dress she wore at school every day. Maddie was reminded, thus, of the same old blue coat. Wanda was a poor girl, but she was more sober than most kids of her generation, and probably more mature. Her struggles may have given her great life lessons, which are clear in the way she used to keep her clothes or her home. She talked of how poorly Peggy had treated Wanda. Wanda was a shy girl from Boggins Heights who lived there. Wanda was a timid girl who talked about her hundred dresses just once in the school yard. Maggie recalled that Wanda was asking about one of her skirts, light blue with colored trimmings. Then she remembered another one with a red sash, which was a bright jungle green.

Note:Wanda Petronski is a Polish girl who has moved with her parents and younger brother to America. She is really kind and simple-hearted, who with nobody really acts badly. When Peggy teases her, she feels disturbed. Yet she replies to what Peggy says to her confidently and courageously. Every day, she wears the same faded blue shirt, but she never complains about it.
