LESSON
Q: Based on the novel you have
studied, write about a valuable lesson you have learnt.
Based on the novel, The Railway Children by Edith
Nesbit, a valuable lesson I have learnt is we should be
kind and thoughtful to everyone, including strangers. This is seen in Roberta.
In
this novel, Roberta asked the driver and
the fireman to mend the broken toy engine. When Peter gave Roberta half his toy
engine, she took the broken half. She wanted to get it mended for her brother.
So she met the driver and the fireman to ask their help. They agreed to mend
the broken toy. Some weeks later, she took Peter and Phyllis to meet the driver
and the fireman. Peter was excited to see his engine mended.
Furthermore,
Roberta hid the story about her
imprisoned father from her brother and sister. Roberta went to the station to
collect some old magazines. Perks wrapped the magazines with an old newspaper.
On the way home, she stopped to rest. She read the newspaper. It is about her
father. Roberta learnt that her father was in prison for spying. Nevertheless,
Roberta did not tell Peter and Phyllis about it. She did not want them to be
upset like her.
Finally,
Roberta made Jim comfortable in the
tunnel. Jim had
a broken leg and cannot walk. So, she made Jim comfortable by put her petticoat
under his broken leg. She talked to him and got the necessary information to
help him. She found out that he is Jim from Northumberland.
In conclusion, it is clear that Roberta is kind and thoughtful to everyone, including
strangers. It makes this novel
interesting.
