Answer : Kezia’s father gave her the pet name “Little brown owl”. As Kezia’s presence always annoys her father, Kezia tries to avoid her presence in front of her father.
Kezia was a slightly sensitive girl and seemed to be afraid of her father, as she was overtaken by her father’s anger and measured his mouth, hands, and neck to be enormous.
Some of the other reasons were that he used to be aggressive all the time, mostly speaking loudly and yelling so much. He repeatedly scolded Kezia and never played with Kezia. Kezia shuttered while trying to talk to his father.
Kezia was afraid even if her father looked at Kezia through his specs.
