Page 5 - 18. THE HUNDRED DRESSES I LN5 PPT

The Hundred Dresses Summary

The story is about a quiet and shy girl named Wanda

Petronski, a Polish immigrant, who had come to America with

her family.

She attended school with American children who found her

name to be strange and probably, the weirdest in the classroom.

This is because they all had easier names.

She was poor and was always seen wearing a faded blue

dress.

Her classmates teased her because she claimed to have a

hundred dresses “all lined up” in her closet albeit, always being

seen wearing one.

The ones who mainly teased her were the two best friends,

Peggy and Maddie. Peggy was the most famous girl in school

while anyone barely knew Wanda.
