November's blog


The Magician's Nephew
by C.S Lewis
Significance
I chose this book because I always wanted to read the Chronicles of Narnia but never felt like it
something that I though was cool were the connections to The Lion Witch and the Wardrobe. This year was the best year to start this series since they are all about 200 pages long and very interesting. This book is probably he only book I really got in to so far.
Perspective
C.S. Lewis is the author of an amazing story writer so far I have finished one and on page fifty on the second. These books are something amazing, Magic, Evil Witch, Apples that can make you immortal, Flying horses, Lion, Kids, Baby lamp post. you may think some of the things I mentioned are form LWW but there in the first to.
Evidence
I think the augment that the author is getting at is no one knows whats out there there could be other worlds. Also that immortality is something we all want but always comes to a big cost most people would kill others to get what they want.
Connection
This story connects to the next one to my surprise. I thought there would be no connections but I was wrong very wrong. you know the immortal apples I was talking about well the boy got the apple and gave it to his dying mother so they could naturally sleep without medication. he took the core and planted it in his back yard and put six magic ring's, that sent then to Narnia, around the apple core. Then the tree grew up and had the most Delicious apples ever and when they moved they had to cut the tree down so instead of getting rid of it he turned it into A wardrobe that they sold.
Supposition
I would have changed the story by making them go to Narnia more then three chapters because it is so cool there like anything you plant starts to grow like a piece of a lamp post would turn into a baby lamp post. It would make it more interesting.

The Lion, Witch and the wardrobe







Significance

This book is important because this book has so many connections with the books before and after. Tgis book als is very detailed so you knew what was going on every seconed.

Perspective

This book was much more interesting once you find out how the wardrobe was made what the lampost represents. If I told a 3rd grader about this book I would say this book is about four kids discovering a magical world.



Evidence
I really dont think the auther is making an argument but is just telling a story. This story is compleatly made up.

Connection

I don't think this has any connection to the real world.


Supposition
I would change some of the detail because there was three chapters of really one event. I would make is so there were more creatures like the cenutur and the faun.

Tales of the greek Hereos - Roger Lanceyn Green




Book Review1
Significance
Tales of Greek heroes Is not a good book! For me It was very hard to follow because I could not understand their names. Plus all the family links made my head spin. I do not recommend if you are not a fan of Greek mythology

Perspective
I don't know much about the author but I bet he was really into Greek myths as a kid of even now

Evidence
Non of the text of facts are true they are just myths.

Connections
This book is connected to the real world because people really believe this like every thing in the myths are true but no one knows it could be true.

Supposition
I think if this wasn't real I still might still read it but if the book never existed I might have not spent so much time reading it!


Tales of the Greek Heroes

Significance
This work is important to show that we read the book. I chose this book last year actually but never read it I chose it because I was really into Greek mythology until we learned Greek mythology in class. You should use this book if you have to do a Greek myth project.
This book is not a good book for free time.

Perspective

My perspective on this book is the author Roger Lanceyn Green is really into Greek mythology.
I could not explain this book with out there heads exploding or they forget every thing. This book is so complicated I understand almost everything but other kids might not under stand it at all.

Evidence


I don't belive Greek myths but I thing they are cool. I don't thing anything in this book is true. He doesn't say he is telling the truth. You could not have an argument because no one knows if the myths are true of not.



Connection


This book has no connections with the real world but other myths not in this book sometimes have a myth for everything. Why is the sky blue? Why are we always so sad? things like that.





Supposition

This was not a good book to chose. The only thing I got out of this book is a cycle it was like the same story every time
