How does the text relate to the theme of a journey?
The text shows the uniqueness of one's life experiences from young to adulthood. The significant people, including the authority figures imprint positive as well as negative impressions and experiences a we encounter them in different developmental stages of our life. It also narrates the different stages, the successes and failures and how we move on from there. All these life experiences shape us into who and what we are now.
What is the main issue of the text?
Roald Dahl's life experiences with the significant people in his life throughout his early days beginning from his childhood up till his teenage years. Life is not always fun, it can be painful and unpleasant at times. All these memories add to the meaning of life.
What quality do you admire or dislike in a character?
Love of a mother toward her children despite all odds and obstacles she faces in life. Roald Dahl's mother doesn't obviously show it on her face, it can be felt by the way she cares for him and every other things that she had done for him.
How does the text develop your understanding of the world?
From the incidents that Roald Dahl undergoes in the schools he attends, I learnt that there are so many people out there who shut themselves from the truth and live their lives in dispute, refusing to give others chance to make clarification regardless if they are right or wrong. they hold on to the perception that they are the supreme ones.
