give the character sketch of Mr KEESING (THE DIARY OF A YOUNG GIRL) IN ABOUT 200-250 WORDS
Answers
Mr Keesing was an old maths teacher at Anne’s school.He was very strict by Nature. He would not tolerate anyone talking in his class. Naturally, he remained quiet annoyed with Anne who was no doubt the Chatterbox.He would punish her by giving her extra homework. Anne would stuff her assigned homework with such funny contents that not only the class but even Mr Keesing felt greatly delighted. But Mr Keesing still failed to stop Anne's habit of chattering in the class. With the intention of making a mockery of Anne he gave her an essay to write on the topic: ‘Quack, Quack, Quack,’ Mrs Chatterbox. Anne wrote her essay in the form of a story in verse. It told the story of a mother duck and a father swan. The father bites his three ducklings to death because they quacked too much. The father in the poem is clearly Mr Keesing and the ducklings are the children of his class. Luckily Mr Keesing took the joke the right way. He enjoyed this poem and read it to several classes. He stopped giving Anne any extra homework. He allowed her to talk in the class. He even started making jokes with the children. Thus we see how even Mr Keesing got infected by Anne's sense of humour.

The school which Anne attended had nine teachers, out of which seven were male. One of them was Mr Keesing. Mr Keesing was a strict teacher, hence he was against Anne talking in class. He assigned her an essay titled ''A Chatterbox''. Understanding her teacher's intentions, Anne kept quiet for the rest of the class and finished her assignment.
Yet, she wrote the essay. Mr. Keesing was arguably humored after reading her essay which gave some pretty convincing arguments, justifying why Anne needed to talk in class. She claimed it was a female trait. Also, her mother talked a lot and naturally she had inherited it.
Mr. Keesing laughed at her essay. He ignored her chatting for two whole classes but at the third class, he yet again assigned her an essay ''An Incorrigible Chatterbox'' and ''Quack. Quack, Quack''.
Since Anne had exhausted her ingenuity at this topic, thus took the help of her friend Sanne, who was good at poetry. They composed a humorous poem about a family of ducklings. The father duck bit his three ducklings to death since they quaked too much.
Mr, Keesing, fortunate for Anne took the poem lightheartedly and laughed along with the entire class at the hilarity of it. He added his own comments as well and read it out to several different classes. Despite his strict nature, he took Anne's poem the good way.
After that, he never reprimanded Anne for talking in class.
