#127
Today I was the Literary Luminary, and my job was to to find any funny,interesting, powerful or puzzling paragraphs or sentences, and include my thought and reasons why I choose that paragraph or sentence. These are my the interesting paragraphs I found!
Paragraph #5 page 63
I choose this paragraph, because I found it very funny and unfortunate that their was a witch also in jail, and I found it very puzzling that the police officer said that with no worry. I also found it it very interesting, realistic and somewhat funny that Milo was trembling (because it turned out that it wasn't a mean ugly WITCH, it was a women just called that because she once worked for the castle and she was the person who order what words could be used and what not ) so that was kind of ironic. I just found this paragraph interesting, and scary because then I didn't know what witch they were talking about.
"You'll find it quiet pleasant here" chuckled the police man as he slid the bolt back and pushed the door open with a screech and a squeak.
"Not much company, but you can always chat with the witch".
"The witch?" trembled Milo.
"Yes, she's been here for a long time" he said, starting along another corridor.
Paragraph 3 page #75
I choose this paragraph because I found it quiet ironic, and funny to call one princess Sweet Rhyme and the other Pure Reason. Although there funny, I really liked the princess names because their powerful,easy to remember and catchy. Those names are just awesome! I have never heard of two princesses have those names so that's why I was just out astonished and amazed.
"We'll call this one rhyme and this one reason," he said, and so they became the Princess of Sweet Rhyme and the princess of Pure Reason and were brought up in the castle.
Paragraph 4 page#93
I like this paragraph because I found it funny how the king continued his speech even though everyone left, but it was kind of sad to because he was hoping that no one would notice. Also when Milo interrupted him he said a very powerful sentence that just stated the obvious. I just found that paragraph kind of awkward but I choose it because it was ironic how the king just continue and Milo said something that was very smart!
"Loyal subjects and friends," continued Azaz, his voice echoing in the almost empty room, "once again on this gala occasion we have----"
"Pardon me" coughed Milo as politely as possible "but everyone has gone."
"I was hoping no one would notice," said the king sadly. "It happens every time".
Paragraph 1 page# 95
I like this paragraph because this paragraph was very inspirational, and it really makes you look at the bright side of things.I found it very interesting that finally the humbug said something which was wise! This paragraph is also kind off confusing to, because the king said "Things that are equally bad are equally good." The main reasons why I chose this paragraph was because you actually learn something important from it!
"But that's just as bad," protested Milo.
"You mean just as good," corrected the humbug."Things which are equally bad are also equally good. Try to look at the bright side of things".
Paragraph 1 Page# 111
This paragraph was very interesting, though it was also very confusing. I choose it because it was weird,different and I really liked it I like that the author makes you think a little by trying to confuse you (After all there were 4 people that looked exactly the same but each time they said I am the giant, I am the midget etc..) The paragraph makes no sense and that's why I picked it, but afterwards when you figure it out it makes a lot of sense!
"Are you the giant?" asked Tock doubtfully.
"To be sure" he replied proudly " I am the smallest giant in the world. What an I do for you?"
"Are we lost" said Milo
"That's a difficult question," said the Giant "Why don't you go around back and ask the midget?" And he closed the door.

I also drew a little illustration!
