The Witch

In the book that I am currently reading, Digory rings the bell. All the mannequins in the room stood still.
Or so they thought.
The very last mannequin that was sitting in a chair rose and greeted Polly and Digory. The woman stood up and introduced herself. She said that her name was Jadis and that she is the last queen from her world. While she spoke, she paid no interest in Polly, which made her very furious. She also assumed that the two children were sent from another world to bring her there so she could rule it. Obviously, it wasn't true. To support my statement is on page 69 and 70, it states, "What else were you sent here for if not to fetch me?" asked Jadis. "I'm sure you wouldn't want our world at all," said Digory."It's not her sort of place is it, Polly?" This quote shows that the Queen, Jadis, is trying to rule their world and Digory is trying to persuade and talk her out of it.  In the end, it doesn't happen. Polly and Digory accidently take her with them to their world. When Uncle Andrew talks to the Queen and realizes that she wants to take over the world, you would think he would say, "Yeah, no. Sorry. You aren't ruling here, we are not going to become a monarchy." But Uncle Andrew is so caught up in her beauty that he decides to help her on her goal. So now Uncle Andrew and the Queen are outside, in their world, trying to find a way to rule, while Polly and Digory wait. Wait until they both, or at least one of them, comes home.

The diffferences between worlds

In my book, the characters Digory and Polly have rings that take them to some kind of land/island. When they reach the island, there are millions and millions of mini pools. Each pool leads you to a different world. The world that Polly and Digory went to is completely different than the world that they live in. The world that they are in has a huge sun that is red and all the buildings are in ruins, basically. No one was out there to give them a friendly welcome. It was like a ghost town. The world that Polly and Digory live in is our world with the small, yellow sun and the people. The person that Polly and Digory met from that world wasn't too friendly either. On page 79, it states, "They are not interested in things or people unless they can use them; they are terribly practical." This statement shows that some people from this world have no interests in anything unless they can use them. The person they met also ignored people that wouldn't be able to give them what they want.

Mannequin or Live Person?

You are n a hallway, walking towards a door. You slowly open the doorknob and you are in a circle-shaped room. In the middle there is a pillar/table that has a bell and a hammer. There are also people sitting in the room, but they are not moving. Or breathing. Are they even alive? This is where the characters in my book are in. Not only are they in this room, but they found a little note on the pillar. It said,
"Make your choice, adventurous Stranger;
Strike the bell and bide the danger,
Or wonder, till it drives you mad
What would have followed if you had."


Now, I don't know about you, but I would have been out of that room. Personally, it wouldn't drive me mad because I would have seen the word 'danger' and would be out of that room in ten seconds. Other people on the other hand, may have the guts to strike that bell. Who knows what would have happened? The people in the room suddenly come to life and try to kill you, the ground begins to shake and the building your in collapses, anything could happen. That is one of the main reasons why I like certain books, because anything could happen in an instant. But if I had the guts to strike that bell,  I believe the people in the room will come to life and there will be some kind of conversation. This is also what I think will happen in the book. One of the characters in The Magician's Nephew, will decide to strike the bell and the people will come to life.

They're gonna burn my house down!!!

As I was reading Fahrenheit 451, something had shocked me just a little on page 106.What was occurring in the book was that Captain Beatty and his crew went to Montag's house to burn it. Montag was with them, but he didn't know that they were planning on burning his house because Montag has books. It states, "Why," said Montag slowly, "we've stopped in front of my house." This quote is showing that hen I read this, numerous questions were racing through my head. Well, what is he gonna do, is he just gonna sit down and let them burn his house down? They are firemen. Should you still do something about it because they have the right now to burn your house down? Are you going to fight with Captain Beatty and the crew? If you do, will you be arrested for fighting with the crew especially since you have books aroung the house? I mean, what would you do? I would probably talk to them and see if I can make an agreement so my house doesn't become ashes.
Before reading this page though, I already knew this was going to happen. Once I learned in the book that Montag was hiding about twenty or more books in his house, I knew that Captain Beatty will somehow figure it out and come to destroy the books. But after they destroy the books, what will become of Montag? Will Faber do anything about it if Montag is arrested? Or will he just sit at home and watch as every single book in that society vanishes? I'm going to start part three of the book today.
