Matilda blog post #2

134/240
Matilda was 5 and a half when she started school. She was a little late in starting school because her parents didn't apply in. She was put in the bottom class. The principal was a horrible middle age woman Miss Trunchbull. Everybody was scared of her , teacher and the children. She used to be a famous athlete and she kept  her muscles.She was a massive arrogant woman who looked more like follower of the stag-hounds than the usual principal. Matilda's teacher, Miss Honey was a mild and quiet young lady.She looks fragile like a porcelain figure. Miss Honey found out very soon that Matilda was a genius. She knew math, she enjoyed reading Charles Dickens and she made particular type of poetry ( limerick ) about Miss Honey. Miss Honey tried to explain to Miss Trunchbull how brilliant Matilda was, and that they should place her in the top grade of the 11-year olds. The principal didn't listen to that, a few days before she bought a second-hand car from Matilda's father and she was delighted with that businessman . He told the principal that his daughter was a real wart and if anything bad ever happened in school it would be Matilda's fault. After failing to convince the principal that Matilda deserved  to be treated differently Miss Honey decided to go to see Matilda's parents and have a secret talk with them. She fell confident that she would have no difficulties in convincing her parents that Matilda was really special.  Unfortunately  she was  wrong they were rude,impolite and show no interest in Matilda's education at all. Miss Honey was determined to find the way to help Matilda. She choose textbooks for Matilda to study and a girl could ask her all the questions she wanted. Matilda had a friend from the class it was a tiny skinny little girl, Lavender. One day they were together in the school yard when an older girl, Hortensia, came up to them and she told them that Miss Trunchbull hated small children and treated them badly. She had a lock-up closet where she put the children, it is very tall but very narrow so you can't sit , you have to stand. The problem is that there are bits of broken glass sticking out all over the walls so you can't lean on. Hortensia was punished many times and put in that closet. As a revenge she put the special skin-scorcher n the principal's gym knickers. That made her rushed out of the room in the middle of the lords prayers. Ms Trunchbull used to throw the hammer for Britain in the Olympics and she was very proud of her right arm. She practiced by throwing children. Once she flung a boy through the open classroom  window and the next time she thew a little girl over the play-yard into the grass. The only girls fault was that she had plaited pigtails. She did it pretending to be at the Olympics, grabbed  the girls pigtails starting swinging her around faster and faster and send her like a rocket in the sky. But the awful principal was really disappointed when she didn't succeeds to humiliate a little boy. First she accused him of having eaten her piece of cake which he denied. In front of the other children she made him eat a huge cake. She thought he would cried beg her to forgive him even he would be very sick and throw up. On the contrary he ate it up all,the children shouted and cheered and she furiously crashed the empty plate on the floor.
