James and the Giant Peach

Dear Class,

I am in the middle of reading James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl. It is about a kid named James that had his life good in till the age of four were he had to move away to his greedy, mean aunts. they treated very bad making him do all the work. when James was working he tripped and dropped crystals in the ground near the peach tree. days after the peach grew huge. He makes all new friends which are bugs and then the peach roll away into the ocean. Now the peach is heading for a bridge and all the bugs are making fun of of the shape

I think it would be scary living in a peach with bugs noing that one hole in the peach could make you drown. The Grasshopper reminds me of my sister because they are both greedy. i predict that they are going to run into some sort of hole problem because peaches can break easily and right now they are about to head towards a bridge. I wish the author were to put more detial he had great ares to do it like when the peach was rolling down the hill he could have made it more stuff like trees and houses were being crushed.

BC,

I've started this book several times and had to put it down because a "school book" took over my reading! Funny how that happens! Since I haven't read it, can you tell me more about how the peach rolls away to the ocean? I had a hard time understanding how the peach was in the ocean but rolling towards a bridge at the same time.

What other types of details would you like to see Roald Dahl add to this book? How was Grasshopper greedy? One last thing - PLEASE be sure to read over your post before you publish it. Remember, this is a great change to start building a portfolio for the way you have learned to use technology as a learning tool. These posts can be used as something to be really proud of, all the way through to high school! My suggestion is to write your post and save it, then come back to it a little bit later and read it over again.
