Chapter 3 - Claudia's Story : Green Pyjamas

Claudia starts telling her story to the other children: Claudia's parents quarrel a lot until her father decides to take his things and move away to his mother's house. One night, there was a flood of phone calls, and for the first time, Claudia hears the name Stella, her dad's new girlfriend. After that night, Claudia's dad dare not visit nor come near the house anymore, but only talks to Claudia over the phone. On Boxing Day, Claudia meets Stella for the first time and thinks that Stella is a plain and mousy person. After a row with his mother, Claudia's dad then moves into Stella's house. Later, Stella gives Claudia a pair of beautiful green pyjamas as a late Christmas present even though Claudia is always rude and mean to her. One evening, Claudia's dad and Stella holds a dinner party to celebrate his thirty-seventh birthday. During the dinner,Claudia's dad's friends ignores Stella as they think that by doing so they would be loyal to Claudia's mum.

    In the first part of this short story Stella Rondo comes home unexpectedly and brings her two year old “adopted” daughter who just so happens to be the spitting image of Papa Daddy. Sister never really liked Stella because she was incredibly spoiled. This immediately makes Stella the enemy because from the narrator's point of view Stella is not a very good person. I think one of Sisters main character traits is her doubtfulness. She doesn't believe a word out of Stella's mouth because she is “spoiled.” As evidence from the sixth paragraph she is incredibly doubtful of Stella's story about Shirley T being adopted “Sister, I don't need to tell you you got a lot of nerve and always did have and I'll thank you to make no future reference to my adopted child whatsoever.’ ‘Very well,’ I said. Very well, very well.”…

    The character in this story, Sister, seems to be in a way jealous and a little selfish, but with good reason, she has a sister, Stella-rondo, who has always been everyone's favorite and everyone would believe everything she said, from her saying that Sister was "one-sided to her,( Stella-Rondos ) "adopted" child.

The story is told from the Sister’s perspective and describes Stella as being spoiled and having everyone turn against her. The author starts to introduce the Sister 's circumstances early on in the story.
