Quote #10
The BFG expressed a wish to learn how to speak properly, and Sophie herself, who loved him as she would a father, volunteered to give him lessons every day. She even taught him how to spell and to write sentences, and he turned out to be a splendid intelligent pupil. (23.13)
Someone who already has taught himself to write, and who has expressed so much care for the importance of language throughout the book, would definitely be a good pupil. It’s nice that the BFG gets his wish, even if it means he doesn’t say any more wonderful made-up words.
