The Witches by Roald Dahl. Pages 1 - 208 (The End)

My parents died on accident when we were going to Norway to visit my grandma. I and my grandma moved to England after that. One day, my grandma thought me how to recognize a witch. There are six typical of real witches: they wear gloves, they are bald so they wear a wig, they have big nose-holes, they have the changing color eyes, their feet have no toes, and their spit is blue. I had met witches two times before I was eight year old. The first time I met a witch was while I was making a tree house, a woman came and gave a present to me. That woman wore gloves. Luckily, my grandma called me and the woman was gone. My grandma got sick, so we just went to seaside at Bournemouth for summer. At hotel, I went to an empty room and hid behind big screen to teach my mice. Suddenly, so many women came into the room. There were about 200 witches had annual meeting over there. The Grand High Witch made formula which could make a child become a mouse. She already tried this formula to Bruno Jenkins. Bruno changed into a mouse because he ate chocolate from a witch. When the meeting was over, one of the witches smelled me. They found me and made me became a mouse. It was my second time met witches. Accidentally, the Grand High Witch’s room was underneath my room. I went there to take one bottle formula and came back to my grandma’s room. At dinner time, I went to the kitchen to put that formula at the witches’ food. While they were eating, all of them became into mice because of the formula. Bruno’s parents could accept him at last. We went back to Norway and made plan to destroy all the witches around the world.

Oooo.. I’m tired reading The Prince and The Pauper, so I changed my book but I’ll read it again next week. The witches is an interesting story. I have finished reading this book in a week. Is that true there are witches in the world?? Also, they don’t like children because they are smelly like dog’s droppings, so they can’t stand for that?? They can make their own money and known as rich people in the world? In this story, Roald Dahl made him self into the main person and he uses a word ‘I’ to tell the story. When her grandma told him about the real witches for the first time, he couldn’t believe it until he met a witch. The second time he saw witches, he was really unlucky but he never repent to be a mouse. He was so lucky to have a nice grandma like her. His grandma could accept him whatever he was be. If I am in his position, can I accept my self become a mouse?? I don’t think I can be like him. It was really hard to admit your self become a mouse. He is really a brave boy or mouse I think. Actually, I don't believe there are real witches in this world. This is a kid's story to make children afraid to play alone outside. (*_*)

Do you think Roald Dahl is a liar? Of course there are witches? If there aren't any witches in the world, how did Bruno become a mouse?

Actually, although in this book Dahl uses the word "I" to describe the narrator, it doesn't mean that the narrator is really Roald Dahl.

Wasn't this a fun book? It's also a pretty good movie. I'm sure you can find it at a library or video store.
