Answers
Answer:
a)Message-
"Appearances can be deceptive".
Kezia's father looked like a cruel giant. She crumbled in his presence. His harsh words made Kezia to curse herself. She later on found that her father was not devoid of human feelings. He also has a soft and kind heart for his daughter.
b)Kezia father always scolded her never spoke to her in a loving manner. So, Kezia stammered in front of her father because she was afraid of him and found it difficult to speak in front of him.
c)Fathers are not alike. Some play with their children while others love and are for them. Theyshow their love to them by working hard and giving them all the facilities as well as instructions. Though they never express their love they have a deep love for their child. Kezia's father belongs to the second type. He did not believe in showing off his affection for his daughter. He believed in showing his love by making her future more secure. When she tore his papers unknowingly, he beat her harshly. But in man end, we find him a very loving and caring father. Thus it is true that every father loves his child, but the way of love is different from one person to another. Most of the fathers live their dream in their children. Their strictness is also a kind of love.
d)Parents are very fond of their children. They always desire to see them on the top. If they punish them, it does not mean that they want to hurt them. Kezia had stuffed the pin-cushion with the papers that contained important speech, which was great damage for her father. If her father beat her, he only wanted to teach her that she should value the important things in life. His punishment had a lesson for Kezia and before doing any work, she would think twice whether the work that she was going to do was right or wrong.
e)When her mother was hospitalized, her grandmother went to stay with her. Kezia used to sleep alone at night. She was so scared that she started shouting at night. She had nightmares and trembled a lot with fear. Then her father came to her room and took her into his aims to comfort her. She felt secured with her father near her. Then she realized that her father was busy with work and had no time to play. She even realized that her father loved her but didn’t have the art of expressing it. Thus, her attitude towards her father changed towards positive.
hope it helps
