Final Week.

My favorite book of all the books I chose to read would have to be The Wizard of Oz. I enjoyed this book for many reasons. One of my favorite things in the book were the variety of characters. I liked how they had different kinds of characters such as the scarecrow, tin man and the lion. I enjoyed how the different characters got along and all helped each other get to the Emerald City.
Another thing I enjoyed about the book was the flying monkeys. I enjoyed this addition to the book. The flying monkeys were summoned by a special necklace. To summon the flying monkeys the characters had to rub the necklace and say magical words. Each person could only summon the flying monkeys 3 times so they had to choose when to summon wisely.
The final thing I enjoyed about the book were the different twists and turns the author put into the book when they were writing it. My favorite was when the Great Oz made them go kill the witch of the east before he would grant them any of their wishes.

Week 4..

In the quote,"The best book is not the thought that which it contains, but the thought it suggests; Just as the tone of music dwells not in the tones but in the echoes of our heart." I think it means that the best book isnt about what the book is about but the life lesson that you learn from reading it is most important. When Oliver Wendell Holmes said this he wanted to show that when you read a book the most important thing you should learn is the life lesson the book teaches and carry it on with you for the rest of your lives.




The quote relates to my current book Peter Pan because in my book the story is about a magical boy named Peter Pan who wants to take 3 kids with him to neverland and to fly. But the quote relates to it because it tells me that i should enjoy the book and what its about but when reading i should learn the life lesson of the book and carry it along with me for the rest of my life.
