Question

With respect to the events in the story, ‘Should Wizard Hit Mommy’, who would you support , Wizard or Mommy? Justify your choice.

Answer 1

- The title encapsulates the thematic question addressed in the story. 

- It’s open to debate and the writer chose to keep it unresolved; added a question mark.

- While Jo would want the wizard to hit mommy, Jack didn’t. ---- shows the contrast between the two of them. 

- Jo- independent and thoughtful --- unconvinced that mothers are always right -- empathizing with the sorry situation of Roger -- wanted the Wizard to hit mommy 

- Jack- unwilling to change -- reminded of his own mother-- supports the mother’s stand against the system that fits individuals into the conventions of body/colour etc . 

- Title depicts the larger question ---two ideologies 

▪ one that supports conventions 

▪ other that supports individuality. 

Answer 2

Mom is right because wizard was left.
