Madison - Summarizer

         For this Literacy Circles, I was the summarizer. The chapters we read were three through eight at this meeting. Here is my summarization and main points:

        Summary:
          Milo and Tock explored the word market, meeting the Spelling Bee and the Humbug during their stay. The Spelling Bee and the Humbug get into a fight, leaving the market in chaos. Officer Shift arrives on the scene, and the Humbug tells him that Milo caused the predicament. Officer Shift then gives Milo a jail sentence of 6,000,000,000 years. Milo shared his cell with the Which, Faintly Macabre. She was the king's aunt, and was in charge of choosing what words people would use. Eventually, she limited it to no words at all and was stuck in jail. Milo vowed to get her out, if he lived out his sentence. Macabre told him that Officer Shift never checks on the prisoners, and that the big red button on the wall would let him out. Milo walked free with Tock, and they started toward the banquet.

Main Points:

• Milo and Tock went to the word market
• Spelling Bee and Humbug fought
• Humbug blames Milo
• Milo gets put in jail
• The Which tells her story
• Milo escapes jail
• Heads to the banquet

Answers: He blamed all the fuss on Milo which got him arrested.
2. How did you feel about the character Spelling Bee?
Answers: A very show off character because she was always spelling things out. Simply a clever pun.

Answers: It was very concerning and worrying because we didn't know what happened
4. What was your first idea of the witch?
Answers: very gruesome and evil but in the end she turned out to be a good guy.
