BOY

Writing Home

     This chapter talks about how Dahl wrote to his Mum every single week until his mother died, 32 years later. In his boarding school, each boy had to write to their parents at least once a week and thats what Dahl did. The headmaster was checking the letters not for spelling mistakes but for what the students wrote. The students werent brave enough to write that they hated one master at the school for example because they were way too scared of the scary large headmaster.

     I think that it was right that the school made them write a letter a least once a week so that they could have some contact with their parents. But it did not have so much sence to write to the parents what the headmaster wanted them to write so I dont think it was nice of him to do that.
