Hello class

        Author: Dalene Matthee

Today I will teach you on chapter 17 and the beginning of chapter 18of the book Fielas Child

        Ok so as everybody should already know, in chapter 15 Master Petrus had promised Fiela and Selling that he would personally go to the magistrate and find out what happened to Benjamin and where he was. Fiela was confident because she knew that the magistrate wouldn’t just shut the door to Petrus. This gave Fiela hope and she was able to sleep well again.

This shows us how much confidence Fiela has in Master Petrus. For the entire time in which Benjamin has been gone she hadn’t slept well once, however once she knew that Master Petrus was looking into the issue she was able to sleep well again. I think that this was a great way in which the author, Dalene Matthee showed us how confident Fiela was that Master Petrus would be able to find out where Benjamin was staying.

        At the beginning of chapter 17 Fiela is trying to make Kicker and Pollie mate, even though everybody is secretly worried about Benjamin. Fiela and Selling are both worried that Master Petrus is taking so long, however they conclude that time is good as the magistrate would need to send for Benjamin and his things, and this would take time.. While Fiela is worrying, she is also picturing Pollie walking around with 12 chicks, of which she would sell 6. This shows how worried Fiela is, she tries to ignore the facts that are bothering and she worries about other things. When Fiela sees Master Petrus she trys to keep everybodys spirits up, saying that it is because Master Petrus had to go to court

However Fiela starts becoming angry and Master Petrus tries to convince Fiela to let the issue rest, however he achieves nothing doing so. The next day a constable comes from the magistrate giving Fiela the message that if she makes any more trouble, then ...
