Presentation Polish immigrants came from Poland to America. It was a very poor community and was discriminated for their style in United States. Today we are going to read the chapter The Hundred Dresses. This story is written in 1994. It is a sensitive account of how a poor girl is judged by her classmates. The name of the girl is Wanda Petronski. She is a young polish girl who goes to school with other Americans in an American town. These other children see Wanda different in many ways such as, she was poor, she was from another country, she has a funny name, she doesn’t have mother, she always wears the same faded dress. But when asked, how many dresses do you have Wanda? She will always answer, A hundred all lined up.

Model Reading Today, Monday, Wanda Petronski was not in her seat. But nobody, not even Peggy and Madeline, the girls who started all the fun, noticed her absence. Usually Wanda sat in the seat next to the last seat in the last row in room 13. She sat in the corner of the room where the rough boys who did not make good marks sat, the corner of the room where there was most scuffling of feet, most roars of laughter when anything funny was said, and most mud and dirt on the floor. Wanda did not sit there because she was rough and noisy. On the contrary, she was very quiet and rarely said anything at all. And nobody had ever heard her laugh out loud. Sometimes she twisted her mouth into a crooked sort of smile, but that was all. Nobody knew exactly why wanda sat In that seat, unless it was because she came all the way from Boggins Heights and her feet were usually caked with dry mud. But no one really thought much about Wanda Petronski, once she sat in the corner of the room.
