Compare and contrast Bambolona and Anthony.
First Anthony is a boy and Bambolona is a girl.  Therefore Bambolona can become a strega but boys do not become stregas.  Also Bambolona is responsible and learns quickly but Anthony can not learn anything and messes up everything.  Still Strega Nona like Anthony and Bambolona.

 Do you think that Strega Nona knew that Antonia was really Anthony or not? Give reasons for your belief.
I think that Strega Nona knew all along that Antonia was Anthony because when he first came to the house Bambolona and Strega Nona looked at each other funny.  Also he was wearing Signora Rosaís dress and Nona recognized it.  Lastly they play a joke on Anthony that makes it look like Nona has disappeared.
