Question

What are some of the differences between the Schillings and Adeline’s own family?

Answer 1

This excerpt is from the Chinese Cinderella

Explanation:

• Schillings family made Adeline feel that she was a part of their family and she was equal to everyone. Schilling's children felt sad when Adeline was not shopping and sight-seeing with them.

• Adeline was the fifth youngest of the Yen family. As mother passed away as soon as she was born so this brought animosity among the other sisters.

• Adeline lauds the brother-sister relationship exhibited by the Schillings children. She was very compassionate with James, the third brother of the Schilling's family.
