Reading T3 W2

Hello and welcome back to my blog I hope you are all doing well. Today I will talk to you about my Reading create task for Term 3 Week 2. First we had to find positive and negative words in a slideshow. Next we did a book review and we got to choose the book I chose WaterShip Down.
If you read my blog on WaterShip down here is an update on the book. I stopped reading for a few months but I came back to the book and restarted this year and I have 150 pages left.
Here is my slide show


Here is my review

Watership down is a book like no other

The story is a roller coaster of emotions and excitement
The story draws you in and won't let you go till the very end
It is refreshing to see a children's book that dives into more adult Oriented themes
Also the warren* Efrafra has concentration camp properties
Which makes sense because it was based on Riched Adem experience with WW2
It has a strong cast of characters and character development
You can see Bigwig turn from a rebel to a loyal member of the Owsla**
You can also see captain Holy into someone trying to stop them also to a loyal member of the Owsla**
It also has big plot twist that I never saw coming and intense parts that literally had me on the edge of my seat. Watership down is one of the best books ever written and my favorite book ever after I have read watership down I am excited to read Riched Adems other novel Plague Dogs
Of course with a hit comes TV and Movies here are some other pieces of media which has to do with watership down
The Original Book
The Netflix Mini Series
The 1999 TV Show
The 1978 Film
(FUN FACT) a mistake that the UK rating system did was give the watership down 1978 film a U rating which means for all ages where it should have got an PG rating or PG - 13 and in this mistake my Mum watched the film when she was under 5 years old
Also there are some other watership down books oriented for children under 5 years of age such as
Pipkins rainbow
And another book which I can't find but I know existed and it has got to do with learning numbers with the rabbit Fiver
*Warren a group of holes like a small rabbit nation
**Owsla are the Warren police

Have you ever read WaterShip Down
