Reading | Sequence of Events | Evaluating Text Understandings

A novel study analyses information from a story to develop a persons literature skill and understanding of the text. This novel study is based around the story, 'Matilda'. Matilda is about a little girl who loves to read, and is incredibly smart. However her own family treats her unequally.

During the weekly test, Miss Trunchbull tested the students on how well they can recall their three times tables. A student had gotten the answer wrong, so Miss Trunchbull punished them. Out of anger, Matilda used her powers to write a message on the black-board. The message frightened Miss Trunchbull, causing her to faint. Later in the week, Miss Trunchbull disappeared, leaving her house and her money to Miss Honey.

Matilda returned from school and entered her house. She found that her family was packing clothes and items into a suitcase. Her parents inform her that they are moving to Spain, but Matilda refuses to go with them. She runs out of the house and goes back to Miss Honey to inform her of what her family is doing. Miss Honey decides to adopt Matilda because of many reasons. One of which is that Matilda's family neglects her. Miss Honey becomes Matilda's legal guardian and they live a peaceful life.

It is important to understand that novel studies can help the reader and audience to analyse the text and evaluate their understanding of a book.
