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.
In the fourteenth chapter, Miss Trunchbull pours herself a cup of water during her visit to Miss Honey's class. She discovers that a newt is inside her cup of water, and accuses Matilda of being responsible for this. Matilda, out of anger, tips the cup of water over onto Miss Trunchbull using her mind.
In the fifteenth chapter, Matilda confides with Miss Honey and admits that she tipped over the glass using her mind. Miss Honey asks for proof of this happening, and Matilda tips over another glass cup using her mind in front of Miss Honey.
In the sixteenth chapter, Miss Honey invites Matilda to her cottage to talk about her telekinetic powers. While they discuss the previous events, Matilda wonders about Miss Honey's past, and so Miss Honey opens up to Matilda about her early life.
Novel studies help the reader evaluate their understanding of a book.
