"And every time Haroun thought, 'She can't possibly keep them all up', she'd add even more balls to her whirling galaxy of soft, silken suns." I really liked the imagery, and I also liked how after Haroun made a connection from her juggling to storytelling, she said "I don't know anything about that, I just wanted you to know who you were dealing with here." It was funny, and it really let us get an idea of who Blabbermouth is.]]> 2021-03-22 18:35:32 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/ln04sxja160aeq22/wish/1339618669 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/ln04sxja160aeq22/wish/1339619732 My favorite part was when Haroun realizes Khattarn-Shud is Mr. Senguapta from his world. I liked this part because it recalls back to to the beginning when Mr. Sengupta is criticizing Rashid for telling stories. ]]> 2021-03-22 18:35:45 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/ln04sxja160aeq22/wish/1339619732 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/ln04sxja160aeq22/wish/1339624112 My favorite part was when Haroun started to notice how some of the things happening to him were similar to some of his fathers stories. I like this because one of my favorite things in books is when the character finally realizes whats happening and everything sort of comes together.

 ‘Is this the place the story was about?’ 
In this quote Haroun sees the Mist of Misery and connects it to one of his fathers storys.

And i liked it because he didn't take the fantasy from story writing even if his son didn't understand it ]]> 2021-03-23 20:31:18 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/ln04sxja160aeq22/wish/1345104550 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/ln04sxja160aeq22/wish/1354467089 My favorite part of the book is when Haroun was riding the large bird with the water Genie and the bird goes into detail explaining to him why speed is so important to life. “Speed, most Necessary of Qualities! In any Emergency—fire, auto, marine—what is required above all things? Of course, Speed: of fire truck, ambulance, rescue ship. —And what do we prize in a brainy fellow? —Is it not his Quickness of Thought? —And in any sport, Speed (of foot, hand, eye) is of the Essence! —And what humans cannot do quickly enough, they build machines to do faster. —Speed, super Speed! If not for the Speed of Light, the universe would be dark and cold. —But if Speed brings light to reveal, it can also be used to conceal.”. What I like about this part is that the author manages to go into detail about something so simple and normal, yet we never really think about how much of a major effect it has on life in general. I also like how this part does not really have anything to do with the story, its kind of like an added lesson within the story. The book is teaching and talking to us as if we are Haroun and so we are learning discovering things alongside him which I like as well.]]> 2021-03-25 18:34:34 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/ln04sxja160aeq22/wish/1354467089 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/ln04sxja160aeq22/wish/1355601717 My favorite part of the book was also when the clock stopped at 11. "The clock still stood at eleven o'clock exactly. Rashid picked up a hammer and smashed the clock to bits. Then he broke every other clock in the house, including the one on Haroun's beside table." I found this funny and relatable in a way because that sounds like something that I would do. ]]> 2021-03-26 01:28:21 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/ln04sxja160aeq22/wish/1355601717 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/ln04sxja160aeq22/wish/1356188046 My favorite part was when It occurred to Haroun that Blabbermouth’s juggling reminded him of the greatest performances given by his father. This is my favorite part because of the quote  ‘I always thought storytelling was like juggling,’ he finally found the voice to say. ‘You keep a lot of different tales in the air, and juggle them up and down, and if you’re good you don’t drop any. So maybe juggling is a kind of storytelling, too.’  I chose this quote because I feel like I can relate to it because at the moment I feel like I am juggling a lot of things at the moment and I feel if I keep juggling them I can succeed at all of the things
