| Cover of The Phantom Tollbooth |
The action in the pages that we read begins at 5;22 in the morning, with Milo being curled up on sheet music. He was in Expectation, a mysterious land that is on the other side of his Phantom Tollbooth. He had travelled through these lands, and ended up on the sheet music, where he was sleeping. He was sleeping on the sheet music of the orchestra which orchestrates the sounds for the colour in the world. they are laying the colors of the sky. This orchestra is located in a vast valley, in the woods, quite near to Reality, the city which isn't really there.
The main events happen in the seemingly discarded wagon, at the side of the road. On the side of this wagon, it is labelled with the words Kakofonous A. Dischord, Doctor of Dissonance. It was painted a bright red color, and it seemed to the characters to be a carnival wagon. This wagon was the humble abode of a certain Doctor Discord, the aforementioned, labelled on the truck. It was also his doctors clinic, where he kept many sounds, and tried to cure people of diseases that didn't actually exist. Living alongside him is a blue puff called Dynne, pronounced Din.
At the end, Milo goes to a fortress near Silence Valley, where you can't make any noise, and everything is silent, much to the citizens distress. Inside this castle though, you can make noise. The fortress is te home of the sound keeper, a princess of sorts.It is where sounds used to be made, but now it is our of business, as no more sounds are being made. Now, all sounds that have ever happened are kept- every single word was there, straight after you say it. Because of complications, these sounds still are shared with silence valley, and they are still under a spell of silence.
Thats it for today :)
Until next time we are reading to page 224, and I am going to be the Literary Luminary.
Thank you for reading, and byeeee!
