I think the most important theme is treat animals well. Animals are just some creatures that are living on earth just like us. They need to be respected like they are living-things. Actually, Humans are animals too. We are just smarter animals. So that’s why I think this is the most important theme.

‘It is important that children read stories about horrific historical events, such as the
holocaust.’ Do you agree?

The answer depends on the children. Some of the children need to know the horrific historical events such as ruthless war. If the children don’t know they’ll think that war is fun and always don’t remember some great soldiers’ dead. But if the children know the ruthless of war and read stories about horrific historical events maybe that child will always being sad and think everything is sad. Or he/she will have a depression. So it depends on the children.

What statements does the novel make about magic?

The statement that the novel make is traveling. Tom traveling through past is absolutely magic. But also Mrs. Bartholomew dreaming is magic because that when she dream Tom can travel.

How would the story be different if it were written from Tom’s perspective

I think it will be more exciting if the story was told by Tom’s perspective because Tom is not omniscient and you can heard more what Tom was thinking about. So I think if the story was told by Tom’s perspective the story will be more exciting.

The masks are important because they can cover peoples face so no one will know who he/she is. It’s also important to August because no one will know what his face look like and no one will know that person is August. Also if no one know that person is August no one will laugh at him.

Julian, unlike the other characters, does not finally learn a lesson about kindness’. Why did Palacio choose not to have him change?

I think the author just want to make a bad character or Julian is the mural. Palacio want the reader to know that you need to know what you did wrong and correct it. Or don’t be so proud if you are the cool kid at school. Maybe the author have seen some cool kid who didn’t correct himself so the author wanted a character who didn’t correct himself.

What would be lost and gained if the story had an omniscient narrator

The gain will be the reader will be “omniscient” in the story. And you will don’t have a wrong feeling that someone is bad like jack. The lost will be the book will not be exciting as the normal narrator. The book will lost a sell-point. The will not be good as the normal one. The book will not be special.

What is the main message that you take away from reading War Horse?

I think the main message in War Horse is think at other’s view to think question. Like some of the soldiers didn’t treated Joey well. If you are the soldier you need to think: are Joey feeling well or something like this. When I’m at school A teacher told me that there’s a student who just think at other’s view. When we’re stand in a line for Computers he thought that we’re busier than him so he just went to the back of the line. That’s a example of thinking at other’s view.

What are the strengths and weaknesses of having the story written from the perspective of a horse?

Weakness: You’ll don’t know the feeling of the human and sometimes there are some event boring writing with the horse’s view

Strengths: You’ll know more about horses are be treated bad at that time and maybe you’ll learn that sometimes you need to stand at other’s view to think.

How does knowing the context of War Horse influence the way you read and appreciate the book?

You will know more about war and you will not said some paragraph is stupid or unreal. Also the author had been to the army so he will know more about war and don’t like some of the young children think that war is interesting or funny like shooting. Also you will know that why did this character do this or what is the cause.

Question: What do you think the title “Holes” mean?

Answer: I think the title holes mean a “hole” in Stanley or Stanley’s family’s heart. Stanley needs to fill the holes at camp green lake. For example the hole of blaming people for no reason. Everyone have a hole in their heart they just need to fill them and you will turn into a good person or mature person. So the title acutely mean “Stanley fill holes in his heart at camp green lake.” So this title have many meanings. But sometimes this title didn’t hook the readers mind.（personal opinion）

I think chance is more important than choice. chance is more like lucky. choice is like the way you go. I think chance is more important because there is no choice at camp green lack. it’s like a jail there. you obey Mr. Sir and Warden. what choice you can make?

For example, if you have chance you Warden and Mr. sir won’t trouble you and other boy won’t embarrass you.(even their’er friends) Also chance to get out Camp Green Lake.

Also in  a test if you don’t know the answer you can guess but if you’re lucky you get right if you’re unlucky you don’t.

a long time was at school and we’re playing Pokemon cards. The teacher don’t want us to play it. but some of us still took it to school because it fun.(include me). My friend and I went to the playground and playing with the cards. suddenly my friend wanted to go to bathroom so I stay on the playground waiting him. but the teacher came and just took away my greatest cards! but my friend’s cards didn’t been take away by the teacher.

That’s an example of chance is more important than choice. That’s why I think chance is more important than choice.
