Dear Ms. Welker,
I've been reading Matilda by Rohald Dahl. I predicted that this book is about a little girl that beats a BIG strong grown up who's name is the trunch bull. That's a pretty scary name. I thought this because I read the back and gave it some thought. Also I had question before I started reading. My question is what did the truch bull have to do with Matilda?
My prediction was right! It was about matilda beating the trunch bull. So after I read a part I had another question. Why did Matilda's parents always want her to watch the telly. Also I had trouble with the word telly so I searched my schema and i figured out that it was just a fancy word for T.V. When I read on I figured out the answer to the first question. The anwser is that the trunch bull was the head mistress at Matilda's school. AKA principal.I also thought that Matilda's parents were mean. I think this because they call her names like stupid, a wart, pain in the neck etc. I feel really sorry for Matilda, but on the other hand she has extrodinary brains. She can multiply numbers like 226*78 almost instantly.She's really smart. So to conclude what I read Matilda is having trouble with her parents, but she is really smart so I think she can find a way to get back at ehr parents.
Sincerely,

Great post Ana,
ReplyDeleteYou are adding in a lot of detail which is great! You asked "Why did Matilda's parents always want her to watch the telly?" but you didn't answer it. Why do you think that is? It seems odd for parents to want their child to watch television all the time!
