The movie is about a clever girl named Matilda. When she was two years old she started cooking her own lunch, because her mom went to play BINGO with friends, her dad went to work, and her brother went to play. Then one day when she was three and a half years old, she went to the closest library, and borrowed books starting from little baby books to grown up books. She read grown up books with great vocabulary when she was only four years old.
Then, one day when she went to the library and the owner said "You have been reading very well you may keep some books you borrow, if you would like." "Really?" she questioned. "Really" the librarian answered. She was so excited that she almost went to the wrong direction. One day her dad Harry found out she was reading books, and he did not want her to. He said "Do not even mention reading." He wanted her to watch TV and play all day, so she watched for about three seconds and the TV exploded but it did not damage the furniture. It was red with two antennas. This is when she learned her eye powers. She can move objects around and put them in a different location by looking at them and then looking else. She was cautious when she would do this.
One day her dad said "You want to go to school?" She replied, "Yes" excitedly. Her dad said, " Fine. Come along with me." Matilda was so excited. Harry took her to his car and drove to school. When she got there she saw many students standing by a big building. Next, she noticed the principal. She looked really scary, so Matilda hid in a big crack in the building next to the school. Another girl came to hide too. She said "Scary huh?" Matilda whispered “Yeah." When everybody started walking in, they followed.
Their teacher, Mrs. Honey was very kind, and they got to be friends.
A couple days later in the morning the principal saw a girl wearing two braids. She swung her around and around. Then, let her fly away. She almost fell onto sharp edges of the gate, but luckily she flew over and landed in a patch of flowers. She picked a few flowers, and gave them to her teacher.
A few months later someone ate the principal's cake, so she called the whole school to come into a large room. Next, she called a fat boy to eat the rest of the cake to see if he had eaten the cake. He started eating and the crowd chanted to help him eat a yummy cake. The principal shouted "Stop chanting." When he finished the cake the principal took him to a closet of spikes everywhere.
A couple weeks later the class Matilda was in were discovering and learning insects, but when Matilda was still outside packing her books she got put in the closet of spikes. When class started her teacher let her out.
Days later they made a plan, so they all came early and put an insect in the principal's glass of water. She drank a bit and saw the insect, she shouted "who put that snake in my water." Matilda's friend raised her hand slowly, so she also got put in the spike closet.
That evening Matilda wanted to scare her principal, so she used her eye powers first to steal her teacher's doll. Next, to make the house shake. She did.
The next morning she gave the doll to her teacher without the principal seeing.
A couple of days later when the principal got to school, Matilda used chalk erasers, and clapped them in her face. Next, Maltilda used her eye powers to swing her on the globe. The principal hung Matilda's friend on a bar, so Matilda used her eye power to get her down carefully. Then they started throwing food and candy at the principal. Next, the principal drove home and was never seen again. Matilda lived with her teacher happily every after.
Purple Pear’s comment:
I saw the movie Matilda on November 7th, 2008. I like the movie, because it had a lot of action and it caught my attention. I almost did not blink the whole time.

Purple Pear’s terrible, horrible, very bad, no fun field trip
Once I went camping at C.A.W. Camp site. I was so excited to go there, because I thought I might be able to climb to the top of a tree. I got there at 11:30am. I was very excited. But quickly my excitement went away after I saw 2 toads, 5 spiders, and 4 bugs in the bathroom of my cabin. After we got set we ate lunch at a Cafeteria. The food was horrible. I took the food choice I liked best, but I forgot what I had. After that I went to the rope course. I was excited, but Mr. C – my friend’s dad got hurt. He fell from a wooden climbing wall. An ambulance came to send him to the hospital. It started raining and we didn’t get to climb the rope course. It was no fun. I could tell that it was going to be a terrible, horrible, very bad, no fun field trip.
We had to run to the basketball court. The game we played was boring, and at dinner everyone got two popsicles with jokes on them. The popsicles were green, my favorite, and I got one popsicle with no joke on it. It also melted, and spilled on my new rainbow shirt. I could tell that it was going to be a terrible, horrible, very bad, no fun field trip. At the talent show I did not get to sing Kids Bop, a song Anna and I made up, and I did not get to perform a magic show because it's getting late. Jess told me Mia lost my goggles when she was washing them in a lake. I cried. I got tired before I sang “Beautiful America” with Mia. We finally got to sing it. I could tell that it was going to be a terrible, horrible, very bad, no fun field trip.
The next day when I ate breakfast everybody got a little cereal box, but I did not. My friends all got a pancake with syrup on top, but I did not because they ran out. After that we played prey and predator. I did not like the game. I was at the bottom of the food chain, so higher people of the food chain could catch me. They could take one of my lives, so I just tried to lose. I did. I could tell that it was going to be a terrible, horrible, very bad, no fun field trip. After that we played "Get The Bears Fish". I never got the bears fish, so I never got to be the bear. I was so sad. After a while it started raining hard. We ran to the cafeteria to eat lunch because it was raining. I could tell that it was going to be a terrible, horrible, very bad, no fun field trip.
After lunch we had three choices. I picked fishing. When we got there, I did not catch any fish. Not even one. Then, we went to the volleyball court. I did not serve well at all, and the ball never came to me. I did not get a chance to hit the ball. Sand was stuck on my foot. It would take hours to get the sand all off my foot, but we had to leave. Some sand was still stuck in my sock and foot. We left for the tennis court. I could not play tennis well at all. At the tennis court, we played games I did not like. On our way to dinner it was raining. At dinner everybody got a brownie, but I did not. The brownies were crispy, full of chocolate, and my favorite. The brownies were out when I went to get one. I could tell that it was going to be a terrible, horrible, very bad, no fun field trip.
After dinner, we went to the campfire. I did not have fun, and I only got to have 2 glow sticks. My job in the game defense was security. I made sure none of the bad people came to the good area. I did not like my job. It was a boring job. Later we went back to our cabins, took our shower, brushed our teeth, and climbed into bed. We talked for a little while and fell asleep.
Nana woke up first. Next, Dana woke up. Then, Mia and I woke up at around 7:00 at dawn. Rain said she could wake up at 4:00 at dawn, but she did not. She probably lied. We got ready to go to breakfast. I think it was raining. I sat next to Mia and Dana. This time the food was not so bad. One, because I liked mashed potato. Two, the cinnamon rolls were delicious. That was all they had left. I exclaimed. After breakfast I went to archery. It was a long way to get there. I got poison ivied. When we shot bown’arrows I almost got hit by one of the arrows. I only got one turn to shoot bown’arrows. The tips of the bown’arrows were sharp. Then, we went to Scott Hall where we got to play games like Bingo, ping-pong, and pole. I only got to play Bingo. I also lost. I could tell that it was going to be a terrible, horrible, very bad, no fun field trip. Next, we went mountain boarding. It was scary, but I made it down the small hill. Next, we went to lunch. The food was not great, but not horrible. I had some mashed potato, carrots and some cheese.
After lunch we packed our stuff and went home with a chaperon. My chaperon was Anna’s mom. On our way home we talked about how much we practiced to do the talent show. I practiced for a week or two, but we did not have time to sing it. I also really thought I would have a great time at the beginning, but I had the worst time ever. When I got home, my mom told me some field trips were like that. “Next year it will be better” she said.
