Matilda’s father speaks harshly to her in the second frame. Assume you were Matilda. Explain how you felt at that moment.

If I was Matilda I would get very angry and feel miserable and discouraged in terms of literature, and that would make me ask myself many questions like, was I a mistake? Are they forced to take care of me? What did authors do to them? Why so much hatred for books? .I mean what kind of a parent would snap his own child when asking for a textbook to read? Many parents would be very happy that their children are interested in literature at an early age, but I guess not Mr Wormwood. Parents sometimes can make one so angry to  such an extent that you want to back chat with them but then you remember the boundaries and the fact that you are talking to an adult not your peers. But deep inside you are fuming with anger and you just want to avenge yourself but don’t know how because of boundries.And getting snapped for all the wrong reasons increases the anger built inside her and if I was her I would want to do something drastic that will make the father to be off my case for a bit. Maybe spend two days without talking to him but doing everything he wants me to do like house home errands but I won’t say any word to him till he realise his mistake and apologise .

At that moment I would wish I could go to school  because when I am at school I would be very happy because they allow us to read books and encourages and motivates us to read even more unlike Mr Wormwood. I would try to think about school to ease up on the anger I will be feeling. In order to remove that discouragement I received from Mr Wormwood about books I would try to think about all the positive side about books, those moments when you read a book and already in your mind you getting ideas of what will happen next then encourage myself to even read more even though at home they do not like it, we cannot have the same interests we are different people.
