By Megan Stacey
Student # 2343308

"There is lies, sound asleep…", "Hasnt anyone written poems to the wind? ... The flow of her sentences is unsteady and loose, like the wind, and like the contents of an adolescent girls perspective.
The wind is a metaphor of the force that is driving away everything enjoyable about childhood, and Matilda feels defenseless as it is taken away. ... She is in her room, which is so still and sheltered, and where she can smell the soot from the wind blowing down the chimney while the wind rages outside.
