New book..


I just finished my book The Wizard of Oz and I enjoyed reading it very much. I would suggest the book to anyone who enjoys adventures and unexpected twists and turns. The book can also appeal to your emotions sometimes in the book. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book and I hope my new book The Wind in the Willows is also very enjoyable for me to read.

Week 2..

I think the quote, “Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it. It enriches the necessary competencies that daily life requires and provides; and in this respect, it irrigates the deserts that our lives have already become.” - C. S. Lewis, means that Literature and reading don't only help develop our brains, but they help make life fun and enjoyable. Literature helps add to the expierience of life. It helps enrich our lives and make it better, and helps make the most boring of lives become fun.


The quote relates to The Wizard Of Oz in man ways. It helps you think outside the box and think of things that haven't already been thought of. When I read the book I can look at whats happening in the book in many different ways to make the book more enjoyable and fun for me to read. If The Wizard of Oz only had one aspect to look at whats happening it wouldn't be as enjyoable for me to read. I think the quote helps by providing me with different outlooks on The Wizard of Oz and gives me different views in which to read the book.

The Challenge..

I think this book will challenge me because I am use to reading more current book written in the 21st century and not before then. I think it will be hard for me to understand the book at some points so to deal with that if i don't understand a word I will read the part again until i get a complete understanding of that part of the story.

My Book..


Today i chose the book The Wizard of Oz for my English project. I chose this book because I very much enjoyed the movie when i was younger and I also had a dog named Tootsie who looked like the Dorthy's dog in the book. I know books aren't like movies but I can't wait to read the book and find out whats different!
