This is truly meaningful to me because it is placed in the classroom of Miss sweeten and it contradicts the schools ambience of not being a conducive place (or even a fun place) learn. This of course is reinforced with the meanest principal on Earth, Miss Trunchbull, who is in fact hates children.

In the movie, reading for me is depicted in two ways. First, reading is a privilege skill that only the sophisticated people can practice fully. This is half uncoiled because nowadays the prices of book are too expensive for the poor people or even rough of the middle-class people. Even some of the books that are published here in the Philippines are too expensive. just now thanks to the very famous Book Sale, we can afford inter national or even local books that have a very good authority and storyline.The second is reading as a very muscular tool in battling simple to complex situations.

The parents are the ones who will instil the very rewarding skill of reading to their children. And I quote from one Emilie Buchwald, Children are made readers on the laps of their parents. We should all be Matilda, a very wide and complex reader and a very enthusiastic one too. Not being a uninspired child who just plays outside. Lastly, I quote from one Frederick Douglass, Once you learn to read, you will be incessantly free.
