BOY - Mrs. Prachett's Revenge by Roald Dahl

When the 5 boys were going to school, they saw that the sweet-shop was closed. So they took a look in the shop and saw that the gobstopper was everywhere and a dead mouse on the floor. Thwaites said, "Mrs. Prachett might be dead by a heart-attack!" Dahl thought 'I am a muderer?' Suddenly, they heard the school bell ringing so they went to school. Mr. Coombes said to line up outside against the wall. Mrs. Prachett came out of the school with Mr. Coombes. Mrs. Prachett started to check students. "Too big. Still too big. Still too big," said Mrs. Prachett. So she skipped some students. She got to Thwaites. She said, "It's 'im! 'E is one of them." Then, pointed at Dahl and the other 3 boys. They went into the headmaster's room. The headmaster hit the 5 children at the same place really hard.

I think that kind of punishment is very bad because by hitting the students, they won't do it when they are in the Catherdral school, but if they move school, they will do it again. I think that children should be first punished my talking and if he keeps doing it, hit him. 

Roald Dahl used many similies and interesting language to make the autobiography engaging. For example, Thwaites yelled, "Ow-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w!" and straightened up like elastic and My mind was swimming and my eyes had gone all blurry as I went forward to bend over.

Language Art Assesment

By Whattheheck Spiderman Chikipachipa

    This is a story about a really good dad and his son. Dad keeps his promises everytime. Dad has 2 faults. One of them is he can’t stand flies. If he sees one, he chases it until it is squished. He never, ever, forever uses the fly spray because it makes crazy stuffs in the air. His 2nd fault is the table manner. One day, his company boss came to his house to eat dinner, and his wife said “ Don’t say a single word to our son while dinner” and dad said “ okay”. So the son tried to make dad break his promise. He eats noisy but his dad doesn’t say anything. So he prepared a fly swatter and he put it on the table. Dad says nothing. He drops one dead fly in his dinner. What will happen to dad? What will he do?

   

    I liked the part telling his son to have food manners. ‘Don’t talk with food in your mouth’.

    I also liked the beginning. ‘Dad runs around the house with a fly swatter in his hand’.

    I think I won’t recommend this story because children who reads this story, I think they will try to copy it.

Feeding the Dog by Susan Price

This story is about a witch and his children. The witch Downing couldn't stand when humans be bad to his children so he curse them. One day, a farmer Hollis hit 3 of Downing's children and 2 of them ran home told Downing that Hollis did this. But this time, Downing didn't curse Hollis and made a creature using 2 cats, 1 dog and his worst magic. The creature looks like a dog but has 2 eyes that the color change. The colors are green, blue and red...... Downing said 'Hollis' to the creature and the creature went out.

I didn't like the plot of the story because it isn't well ordered and the story continues hardly smoothly and a n exaple is Downing killed his family before himself. It wasn't hard to predict the next happening. I liked the characters because they made a good story with funny names.

I would recommend this book to age 7+ because it is a great story to tell the message 'If you do something bad to a person, you will get payback'.
