“The Hundred Dresses – II” gives out a moral lesson of what a person should be like as Wanda displays herself in the given situation.
Wanda Petronski’s letter enlightens her greatness which gives us a view of her nature as a simple, loving, caring, and friendly human being. She gifts her drawings to Peggy and Maddie though they teased her a lot. It shows how great she is as it requires a lot of courage and patience to do so. An ordinary person can not do that and would definitely hate them but Wanda shows polite and peaceful traits of her character.
In our society it is very difficult to find such a character but such traits are must to be good human being. Here, in our society, people tease others with racist remarks, which are not a sign of good civilisation. A polite and friendly manner is good for society and human beings.
Wanda is portrayed to be a humble person. We all should try to have or acquire such traits in our character so that everyone praises us and we can live peacefully.
