Goodbye Toxic peopleĮven at the young age of four, Matilda realizes that there is no place for toxic people in your life. She helps Miss Honey find the courage to stand up to her evil aunt Miss Trunchbull and reclaim her home. She is brave and stands up for herself against people who are way elder, larger and stronger than her, which includes her parents and Trunchbull. Matilda teaches us that it isn’t okay to be bullied and manipulated. Today, I know I can’t sleep without reading at least a few pages a day. Nothing changed during University days as well. I even snuck a library book under my desk during lessons. Thanks to Mum, I’ve always loved reading since I was a child and I owe everything to her for inculcating this habit in me. Matilda loved reading and she spends almost every waking hour with her nose in a book. Her brutal punishments took away the joy of learning but with the help of her allies – her school friend Lavender and her teacher Miss Honey, she confronts her Principal and how! Matilda, the Avid Reader She hoped that things would change when she started school but she had a beast for a Principal, Miss Trunchbull who took pleasure in bullying little kids. Books are her best friend and even at the early age of two, she could easily speak fluently and by the age of four, she could read Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations. She walked alone to the library where she got lost in the world of books. While her father sold patched-up cars for profit, her mother left her alone at home to play bingo. She is unheard, unseen and unloved by her parents and big brother.
