The Witches

In class we have been working on the visualizing skill. Use your five senses to descibe a scene in these pages that you were able to visualize very well.

Please share what you think the problem or conflict is in your novel. Is it surprising to you?

Also include a prediction for what you think will happen next.

Please comment on your first impression of the book. Think about the following questions:

1. How do you feel about the characters that were introduced so far?

2. What do you look forward to the most in reading this novel?

3. Make a prediction. What do you think might happen next?

Hola!
One question I had during the book was: If Roald Dahl would’ve named the character, what would he have named it? Why?

Caitlyn : )

Hola! This is Caitlyn!
Some connections I made to the theme are:
1. Don’t judge a book by its cover
2. Never give up
3. Goodness overcomes evil

The BFG and Sophie never gave up fighting the giants like the boy and his grandmother never gave up fighting the witches. The Roald Dahl books the protagonist always beated the antagonist.

It taght me to never give up and keep trying your hardest. Also, that it’s not nice to judge people by how they appear.

Hola !!!!!

I have a found a Theme and it is Don’t Judge a Book by its Cover!!!! You know how the witches look the same as everyone else, and then everyone will think that they are normal. Then they will judge them without knowing them!!!!

Roald Dahl had a theme in the book that he made and it was to never give up. The part where it was, was when the mouse (boy) (never found out his name) never gave up trying to get rid of the withces and you know one thing it worked they never gave up trying and they got rid of the witches.

Hello! Here are the stick out similarities between “The BFG” and “The Witches”. Both of the books are partly in England. One of the protagonists are always a girl. Something always happens to the protagonist’s parents. All of the antagonists are very ugly, except for (”GHW”). I infer that the theme is good overcomes evil. The theme is similar to “The BFG” because The BFG overcomes the other horrid giants.
