Q: Based on the novel you have
studied, write about an event that fills you with joy.
Based on the novel, The
Railway Children by Edith Nesbit, an event that fills me with joy is when Roberta is kind and thoughtful
to her family members and strangers.
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 her family members and
strangers. That is why I find this event fills me with joy.
