Wanted: The Perfect Pet

The book “Wanted: The Perfect Pet” written by Fiona Robertson. The book is about a boy that super want a dog with fluffy ear, wiggle tail, and warm tongue that can catch the ball and play with him, so he write his aspiration on the news paper. There is a duck also feel very lonely, the duck doing everything by himself. He read the newspaper and he find out the boy want a dog, so he make himself looks like a dog and go find the boy. They play together, but the boy find out that the dog is not like a proper dog, because the duck can not do a lot of things that he expect. At last, the custom of the dog is broken, and the boy find out the dog is a dog. After he knows that he is a duck, he writes about all the advantage about the duck, like he can talk. They become a very good friend. The first connection I made is “Text to self”, when I was young I really want to have a dog. However, my mom said it is so hard to feed a dog, and after he die you will be very sad. She is not very supports me like the boy’s mom think he has a lot of frogs and he does not need the dog. The next connection is “Text to world,” there are many people including me that does not like to accept the new things. If I really like dogs, I can not accept to have a cat very fast. I do not like to try the new things. In fact, there is a lot of things might better than a dog, so we just need to open mind and you will know there are a lot of things that even better than you expect.                   

The Noisy Paint Box: the Color and Sounds of Kandinsky’s Abstract

The book “The Noisy Paint Box: the Color and Sounds of Kandinsky’s Abstract” is written by Barb Rosenstock and the illustrator is Mary Grandpre. Vasya Kandinsky was a proper boy he studied the same thing as the peer. He learned math and everything that normal people do. When his parents sent him to art class they expect he is a proper arties, but the weird thing is that he can heard the sound of the colour.  However, even though he loved listening to music and painting, he grew up to be a lawyer, what everyone wanted him to be. One day as an adult, he went to a symphony and saw colours in the music. He could hear the sound of the brush, and when he saw the bright colours, he could almost hear them – talk to him and make a sound, just like music. But many people, even his family, told him that his thoughts were ridiculous, but he continued to be an outstanding artist, painting in a new abstract way, no one had ever seen it. The first connection I made is “Text to me” I also learn how to drawing before, and I want to be the the painter then creates my own company, but it seems very hard to success like it says in the book, although he like the music and drawing very much but he still be a lawyer. The second connection I made is “Text to median”, I watched  a very famous show that there are a lot of trainees who go to a very hot program and finally train to become a qualified star and debut. Sometimes I will think about this book when I watch the show. They work very hard everyday, and they have to listen to other people’s gossip, also it is difficult to stick to one thing for a long time, so they must rely on their own efforts to succeed. There are still many people whose parents disagree with them as stars and feel very tired but they sneak out for their own dreams. I like this book and it can encourage a lot of people to let their own dream come true.
