After hearing these questions, Miss Honey seems to get upset, and Matilda, as a sensitive person, apologizes.
Somewhat surprisingly, though, Miss Honey opens up, saying that maybe she was secretly hoping Matilda would make her talk about her life. She says Matilda is like an adult-child combo. Even though she's really little, she's mature.
There's something about Matilda that makes Miss Honey want to confide in her. In turn, Matilda can tell Miss Honey is really troubled.
Then, Miss Honey tells Matilda her whole story, which has been a secret up until now.
When she was little she had a great family. But then Miss Honey's mother died and her aunt arrived to live with her and father.
The aunt was two-faced and super cruel to Miss Honey, but acted nice in front of the dad.
Then, Miss Honey's father died mysteriously, and everything got much, much worse.
Supposedly, it was suicide, but Matilda guesses (correctly) that Miss Honey's theory is that her aunt murdered her father. Yikes.
For a long time after that, Miss Honey's aunt abused her.
She's so traumatized, she doesn't even want to talk about it in detail.
The only time she had some relief was when she went to school.
There was nobody who she could ask for help.
Even though Miss Honey wanted to go to college, her aunt said no. But, at 18, Miss Honey was allowed to do some teacher training.
Matilda can't seem to understand why Miss Honey didn't fight back.
Answer:
The problems faced by people in cities and villages can be called problems or issues in civic life. It is important to be able to identify such issues. One person alone cannot solve such problems. They can be solved through everyone's efforts and co-operation.
