After which event does emotional understanding appear most clearly in the story?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: After her father lets Kezia sleep beside him and comforts her at night
When Kezia is frightened by a nightmare, her father takes her to his bed and comforts her. This makes her realise that his strict appearance does not mean that he lacks love; he works hard and cares for his family. The pin-cushion and torn-papers incidents increase Kezia's fear of her father rather than creating this understanding. Exam tip: remember the night-time comfort scene as the turning point in Kezia's view of her father.
