Matilda -- Week 4

Much to my regret, I changed the book to read because it is difficult for me to read Anne of Green Gables. There are oldish expressions that I cannot understand and many words that I don't know in it. However, Anne of Green Gables is a really wonderful book, so I will study English harder to try again in the near future.

Now I am reading Matilda by Roald Dahl. I love his books because they are so amusing. When I was a high school student, I read The Witches and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory written in English. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is his masterpiece because this book was made into a film. When I was a child, I also read Matilda written in Japanese. This book threw me into ecstasies and I read it repeatedly, so this is my favorite book.

Let's introduce a synopsis of Matilda. Matilda is a sweet, five-year-old genius with horrible. However, her parents look upon her as nothing more than a scab. At school she gets along well with her classmates, but there is Miss Trunchbull who is two hundred pounds of kid-hating headmistress and torments many students. In short, this is the thrilling revenge story of Matilda who fights against tyrannical and high-handed adults with brains.

I would like to enjoy reading it.
