My thoughts
I think this story is setin a strange place. Is part 21, for example why do keep flying? I think this is very strange. And seagulls will be tired. It is very strange.
I think part 22 is very exciting, because James make a plan to fly out of the ocean. He uses Earthworm to lure the seagulls down, then He uses the string to catch the seagulls. It is very exciting.
James he is very brave, and he is clever. James fat was very bad. This two aunts always call him a beast. But when he meets his friends, he starts to became brighter.
The two aunts are very cruel, and one is name’s Sponge and the other Spiker. Their figures are in contrast.
Aunt Spiker is very thin, and tall. She looks like a bamboo rod. She wears glasses.
Aunt Sponge is very fat, and short. Her eyes are like a pig. She looks like a big peach in this story.
The bugs have their own skills. They use their skills to do tasks . They worship James, because without James, they would’t have this life.
The bugs are also very funny, like Centipede. He is melancholy, but he always does funny things. Like in chapter 23, Centipede dances on the peach, but he dances falls into the ocean. It is very funny, and James goes to save him.
I think this story is so-so, because at the start of this book it is very cool and exciting, but when I read to the middle of the book, I thought it became more boring, and the action wasn’t as excite.
This book’s ending is good, because at the end of book everyone is happy, and they me used they’re own skills to find work. Their job are cool and bizarre.
What I learn
I learned many words form this book. Sometime the pages had many words I didn’t know and they were very difficult. When I started reading this book I thought the vocabulary word was difficult.
But when I read more and more pages. I felt it was earlier to read in English book. Then the words helped my English became better.
Now I can quickly read one page, and the vocabulary begun to make sense a little.
And I learned that no matter what happens, if I try my best, I will have a chance. If you don’t try, you won’t have any chance at all.
I think reading English books is very fun and funny, and I learned more knowledge. And in reading English book you learn more grammar and vocabulary
I don’t like the two aunts and the Cloud Men, and I also didn’t like the Centipede. I think the two aunts are very cruel, and they often say they are beautiful. They may be are crazy. They are so ugly. Sponge is fat and Spiker is to thin.
I don’t like the Cloud Men because they are offensive. They make clouds, and to hit the peach.
And I do not like Centipede, because he provokes the Cloud Men.
I think this book is very good and exciting. You can read it and enjoy this story.
