Q6- What sort of punishment did Kezia get for her mistake from her father? Was it
justified? What light does this incident throw on her father's character?
Answers
Answer:
Kezia was afraid of her father it was due to very less interaction. Once it was cold outside so, Kezia was kept inside. Her grandmother asked her to prepare a cushion for her father's birthday gift which was next week. Little Kezia stitched the three sides of the beautiful silk cloth but was confused with what to fill the cushion with. So she went to her mother's room and found some papers she tore them. Those were a actually her father's speech for the port authority. He didn't listen her explanation and beat her with a scale on her palms. This further terrified her.
This punishment is not justified as he must have given her chance to explain, he must have heard her. This further tell us that her father was a kind of father who loved her daughter but never showed it.
