Answer 1

Compare character of Kezia with statement “Love and Compassion are like sunlight for children who are like sapling”:

In the story 'The Little Girl', Kezia has strict parents. Her father is so busy that he has no time for Kezia. Her mother disciplines her and teaches the traditional values.

But they are so cold and formal. Kezia's father gives her a casual kiss every day. Her mother reads a book while his father sleeps on Sundays instead of bonding with her. Since she couldn't receive love from her parents, stress increases. It, in turn, creates speech problems.

Answer 2

hi

here's ur answer

The relationship between Kezia and her father was a delicate one. He was a conventional disciplinarian and as the head of the family, he asserted his authority over everyone, including his little girl. He often scolded her for her sad looks and for stuttering. She was made to take off his shoes and put them outside when he returned home from the office in the evening. He even punished her when she mistakenly tore his important papers. He did not give her even one chance to explain herself and failed to see her loving intention behind the mistake. As a consequence of her father’s overly strict behaviour, Kezia developed a strong fear for him. She preferred to stay out of his sight and was relaxed only during his absence from the house. She compared him to be a giant – a dreadful creature for little children. After being beaten by him with a ruler, she even questioned the purpose of God in making fathers.
