theme+and+setting



The novel is written in 1st. Person, and that means that the story is told through the voice of Roald Dahl who is the main character in the novel. I think that this novel has drama as a genre. The novel makes me think of how the school rules, rituals and the punishments was in the older days and how it was for Roald to be a young boy. The story takes places many places, but most at kindergarten, at Llandaff Cathedral School in Wales and St. Peter’s. The attitude to the novel was not good on Roald Dahl's behalf, because he got so many penalties and that’s why he got in so much trouble like when he took a dead mouse in a sweet jar in the sweet shop to  Mrs. Pratchette and then he were punished by Mr. Coombes.

The most impotent and interesting scene was when Roald Dahl and his friends took a dead mouse and put it in a sweet jar at a sweet shop. The woman who owned the store was Mrs. Pratchette who was an old, dirty lady and who always shouted at the boys. They took the dead mouse in the sweet jar when Mrs. Pratchette was not looking and then she discovered it and the boys were caught. They were punishment by Mr. Coombes and when Roald’s mother found out she took him out of school for good.
