For example when "harouns eyes almost fell out of his head" it allows the reader to envision what is happening in the text very clearly. it just makes the story better overall in my opinion.]]> 2021-03-22 17:32:54 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/b86onsmzj00ri8ai/wish/1339268580 1abgilmore https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/b86onsmzj00ri8ai/wish/1339282983 I think this book was filled with so many metaphors that it's almost a blurry line between what's real and what's a metaphor. For example, I think that Haroun not being able to stay focused on anything for more than 11 minutes could be interpreted as a disability, and through the events of the story I think that it's possible that this book could be trying to convey to readers that no matter what struggles you deal with internally you can still make a difference and make the lives within your community better. This really just seemed like a creative way to get a very inspiring message across to all readers.]]> 2021-03-22 17:35:21 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/b86onsmzj00ri8ai/wish/1339282983 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/b86onsmzj00ri8ai/wish/1339284762 My favorite part of this book is the importance of storytelling, this is one of my favorite parts of the book because it's something that is constantly brought up, and it gave me a strong take away of telling my own story, and telling my family's story , and learning more about my own family and asking more questions about my heritage. An example of this is when haroun and rashad learn the full importance of storytelling and protecting the stories on Kahani they feel more inspired to pass on their knowledge, and own adventures.]]> 2021-03-22 17:35:38 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/b86onsmzj00ri8ai/wish/1339284762 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/b86onsmzj00ri8ai/wish/1339285473 My favorite part is that they show how the Gups are friendly and talkative, while the Chups are more serious, and not talkative. For example, in the book it explains that Chups are silent "whereas Chup is silent as a shadow". Also, in the book it explains that Gups are people that tend to talk a lot "King Chattergy raised his hand; the crowd fell silent. (An unusual event in Gup City.)". I like this because it reminds me of me and older brother because I'm more like the Gups and my brother is like the Chups. ]]> 2021-03-22 17:35:46 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/b86onsmzj00ri8ai/wish/1339285473 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/b86onsmzj00ri8ai/wish/1339286088 My favorite part is a sort of mixture between parts of chapter nine and the beginning of chapter ten. I found it to resonate with me, so to speak. The emphasis of the darkness that surrounded them while they were captured garnered quite a poignant catalyst for me personally.]]> 2021-03-22 17:35:53 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/b86onsmzj00ri8ai/wish/1339286088 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/b86onsmzj00ri8ai/wish/1339288866 My favorite part of this book is how they use metaphors and other literary devices to keep the story interesting. I liked this specifically because when I read books I am always looking for these literary devices so I can compare it to other books and as I was reading this book when I came across a metaphor like when they described the building like a cake in the beginning I like that I get to now have a different way of looking at a building. I also like how when they do these types of metaphors I get to start thinking about the connections and how they look similar.]]> 2021-03-22 17:36:22 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/b86onsmzj00ri8ai/wish/1339288866 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/b86onsmzj00ri8ai/wish/1339290429 My favorite part in the book is when the Walrus and his friends surprised Haroun with honoring him for the service he had done for the people of Kahani  and the ocean of streams of story's. This was my favorite part because I like how at first how they made him think he was in trouble with the walrus and that none of them would help him talk it out and tell the walrus the real story because in the end they were just tricking him, until they told told him how honored they were of him and were going to give him a chance to grant any wish. I think I like this because I like to play little tricks on my family and friends to be funny! ]]> 2021-03-22 17:36:37 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/b86onsmzj00ri8ai/wish/1339290429 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/b86onsmzj00ri8ai/wish/1339296109 My favorite part of the book is that the book has a lot of metaphors like in chapter 2 "Standing straight up on his head, like a parrot's crest" I just thought it was funny]]> 2021-03-22 17:37:31 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/b86onsmzj00ri8ai/wish/1339296109 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/b86onsmzj00ri8ai/wish/1339297319 My favorite part of the book is when Haroun meets Mr.🤬. Whats funny was how he would turn of the engine when passengers would come running to his bus.

For example, the author used a simile in Chapter 2 when talking about the bus driver's hair, "Standing straight up on his head, like a parrot's crest". I like reading similes because i find them funny and how i can picture the simile in my head and visualise it.]]> 2021-03-22 17:38:24 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/b86onsmzj00ri8ai/wish/1339301317 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/b86onsmzj00ri8ai/wish/1339370100 My favorite part of the book was da supa birds and the reveal of da mechanical birds. Personally I think the birds are coming for us just sayin this is mad realistic minus the robot part ofc being supa bird is one thing but being a robot supa bird aint realistic im sorry.

So when he stop everyone could enjoy the sun set, "Valley of K, with its fields of gold (which really grew saffron) and its silver mountains" which i think is very cool. I think it is cool because i never sat down and really watched the sun set but one day I hope will.  ]]> 2021-03-22 21:11:39 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/b86onsmzj00ri8ai/wish/1340209864 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/b86onsmzj00ri8ai/wish/1354167902 My favorite part of the book is when Haroun and Rashid help teach people of the earth their ideas and telling their story of their adventures to them.]]> 2021-03-25 17:36:24 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/b86onsmzj00ri8ai/wish/1354167902 1nivanhoy https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/b86onsmzj00ri8ai/wish/1384568864 I like the part where he goes and talks to the walrus in his office.
