Relating to - The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-In-The-Moon Marigolds

I can relate to this story because I go to school and I really like science like one of the main characters Tillie (Matilda). I can't relate to the story very much but I also have a pet like Tillie's rabbit.When Ruth comes home from school one day she speaks about Tillie having to speak in front the school, I have to make announcements often for my school. There are a few small similarities between myself and Tillie, we both see our mothers often and  we both have siblings.
