Q2) What does this lesson tell you about ‘Wanda Petronki.?

Ans2) Wanda Petronski was a young polish girl who studied in a school. She lived on Boggins Heights. Most of the students in her class were American who found her name funny. She used to sat at back benches of the room with the rough boys who did not make good marks. She usually remained quiet and seldom said anything. Peggy asks Wanda questions about different items like dresses, shoes, hats, and other things. Wanda claimed to have hundred dresses in her closet. But she always wore a faded blue dress, so nobody believed her. She became laughing stock of the class. Once, her father decided to shift his children from this discriminated atmosphere. She left the school. This deeply affected Peggy and Maddie. But Wanda forgave everyone.
