Research Paper On Roald Dahl
Fiction stories are believed to be made up and imaginary. You have no idea what the author’s mindset was when they had written their story. You would expect the author would have some form of connection with his or her writing, but you would not know or could guess what it was without personally knowing or reading about him. You would not think to compare someoneś life to their fiction book. Children´s books are written to entertain children. You would not expect them to have a real meaning behind them. They may teach lessons, but not be relatable to their author.As a child, many children books I read were just for entertainment. I never thought about why the story was written.

Even though The Witches can relate to his childhood, he was inspired by his NOrwegian heritage when writing that story. Other stories were influenced by his first career, piloting. Stories like, Over to You: 10 Stories of Flyers and Flying, was certainly prompted by his experiences in the R.A.F.
