I think the story is about everyone being mean to Elmer expect his mum and how I know that I’m from the title.
The word sissy is negative because it is mean.
Elmer likes cooking and In the story it said he is a sissy.
He is different because he dose not like things that the over ducks like.
The over ducks treated Elmer rudely and they should not treat Elmer that way.
The saying is true!!!

The Sissy Duckling
1) I think the text is about this how ever you look we will all love each other the same way.
2) I think that sissy is a negative and unkind word to use because it is not nice to call someone a coward .
3) Elmer has a little amount of friends.
4)he is different because he doesn’t always get everything right.
5) Other ducks treated Elmer bad and no they shouldn’t have the right to disrespect him.
6)This is false because when people do call you names it will hurt your feeling.
