The Phantom's Tollbooth is about a boy named Milo who's life is always a bore and he finds a tollbooth in his room, when he goes in it, he transports in to a world he never heard of, in the world there are many weird things like a place where you buy and eat words and a place your not allowed to think.
One of my notes were very simple, I wrote, This world is weird, and it is very weird. A couple reasons I think it is weird is because, in the first world that Milo went to, which was called the Doldrums, In the doldrums, you weren't allowed to think, and I think that that is impossible, as you speak your always thinking, when you sleep, you dream, don't you. The people of the Doldrums run on this schedule:AT 8 o'clock, they wake up and, from 8-9 they daydream, from 9- 9 30, they take an early mid morning nap, from 9 30 to 10 39, they doddle and dally, from 10 30 to to 11 30, they take their late early morning nap, from 11 30 to 12 00 they bide and eat lunch, from 1-2, they they linger and loiter, from 2- 2 30, they their early afternoon nap, from 2 30 to 3 30, they they put off tomorrow what what they could have from 3 30 to 4, they take their early late afternoon nap from 4-5, they loaf and lounge till dinner, from 6-7 they dillydally from 7-8they take an early evening nap, and an hour before before they go to bed, they waste time.what you could have noticed is that there life is really dull, and they sleep a lot, but another thing I noticed is that, how do you get food when you don't even go shopping for food and still can't think of how you don't think.
that does seem like a weird world to live in good note
ReplyDeleteI liked the way you really put in one sentence about what the book says, and in another sentence you add your own opinion. Really good!
