The book Matilda is written by Roald Dal, the same author as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. It is full of intellectual rigor, curiosity, critical thinking, ethical reflection, and resilience. The main character in the story has many good things in it, too. The main character self-learns, solves creative problems, and more.

When Matilda is three years old, she can already read books that not everybody can, and when she is five years old, she can already read complex literature. She visits the library by herself. It makes many people like to learn. We can make a Matilda-style book fair in many places, and we can do better if we do not just want to attend an Ivy League school.

It uses many literary techniques, like hyperbole, to describe Ms. Trunchbell. This will help us write more and better than before, and use literary devices to write essays and stories just because of the book.  

Matilda’s intellectual curiousity enables her to learn many things, like multiplication, which is better than all years old children. However, what truly sets Matilda apart is her superpower! She can control things using her eyes. She uses this power to help Ms. Honey by writing messages to someone using her eyes. She must be very focused to perform her magic, which teaches children to be more focused.

In conclusion, Matilda was a must-read book for three reasons. Matilda promotes intellectual pursuit not by enforcing elitism, but by nurturing intellectual independence, ethical clarity, and resilience. Moreover, it shows children that brilliance is not a matter of privilege, but a matter of mindset, courage, and curiosity.
