MatildaMatilda is one of my all time favorite movie and book. It makes me imagine different things that seem impossible here in our world. I also loved the way Ronald Dahl wrote his stories in a way that young children can enjoy it.
I like the way Matilda is characterized in this story. She is a very gifted girl who is not being appreciated by her parents. Well, I surely do not like the part about her not being appreciated, but I like the first part. She is a very gifted child who uses her knowledge and her found powers for good. She stood up for herself even at a very young age by not going against the people directly. She knows how to put her power into good use. I hope that the way she acts may serve as an example on how to behave properly and how to use what we have right now wisely.
