Another thing I have wondered about while reading further was, why is Oogy so laid back with his new owner. From what I know about abused animals is that most don't enjoy human company and they are terrified from different actions if their new owner. What interests me, Oogy does not seem worried about anything his new owner does. I am curious of what he will do when Levin does an action that scares him.
One last thing I want to include about the book so far is that Larry Levin uses a great variety of vocabulary words in the story. He does a great job creating a picture in the reader's mind about what is going on in the house hold. Some of these words include: reintroduce, uniqueness, leathery, whapped, and brutalized.
You did a great job! I loved how you included quotes in your description to add meaning to the story. Also, i liked how you said stuff about the vocabulary and the imagery. It helps you picture what type of book this is.
ReplyDeleteI have wanted to read this book for a long time because I have two rescue dogs, and one of them was abused. The way you described how you expected the dog would act sounded a lot like how my dog acted when we first got him.
ReplyDeleteAwesome:D Is this a nonfiction book, because if so, I definitely want to read it! It looks like such a cute and touching story! I like how in your post you supported your claim about Oogy with a cute! Nice work!
ReplyDeleteoops that was supposed to say "quote", not "cute." haha
ReplyDeleteThis is a great blog post! I normally don't like non fiction books because I like to read fiction made up stories, but this sounds like a very good book. I like how you said the vocabulary words that the author uses to create imagery in our heads. Maybe you could say what the words mean or you could say the sentence that they were used in. But over all this is a good blog post!
