Le texte de Wednesday — comprendre et analyser

My name is the 3rd day of the week. My father is Gomez and my mother is Morticia. They are husband and wife because they're married. I'm their daughter and I have a brother named Pugsley. He is so stupid! Gomez has a brother (but no sister). His name is Uncle Fester. We don't have an aunt because Uncle Fester is not married. I am his niece and Pugsley is his nephew.

I have a grandmother, Grandma. She loves her two sons. My father has a rich cousin, Cousin Itt, who has a lot of hair and likes hats.

Our house is very big, so we have a butler, Lurch. He is gigantic! We also live with a walking hand named Thing. It helps Lurch in our house. Finally, we have a pet, Kitty, a very aggressive lion. Our family is really crazy!

Questions de compréhension

Qui est Wednesday ?

Wednesday = le 3e jour de la semaine = Wednesday (mercredi). C'est la fille de Gomez et Morticia, la sœur de Pugsley.

Pourquoi pas de tante ?

Uncle Fester est le frère de Gomez. Mais il n'est pas marié → donc il n'y a pas de tante dans la famille.

Qui sont Lurch et Thing ?

Lurch = le butler (majordome), il est gigantesque.
Thing = une main qui marche, elle aide Lurch dans la maison.

Lien Grandma / ses fils
