A Lost Soul...

This week I've decided to write about a book my teacher read in class. The name of the book is FOX by Margret wild. In the book there is 3 characters and there names are Magpie who is a bird,Dog and Fox.

When we first start the story we see Magpie and she has a burnt wing and she feels as if she will never fly again.But her friend dog assures her that life is still good even without her being able to fly. Then dog tells her that she can be his eye and he will be her wings. Then he runs through the woods with her on his back. But that doesn't make Magpie feel better she still feels that shes nothing without her wings.

After they come back from there run. A Fox appears out of the bush's. When he comes out of the woods he tells dog that he saw him running and he thought he was really good. Dog offered fox to stay with them. When magpie first saw fox she didn't get a good feeling about him. I think Magpie was right to try to warn dog about fox but dog didn't listen. That night while dog was sleeping fox tried to persuade Magpie to run away with him. But Magpie said no she said she would never leave dog. I think fox is a really lonely.

One morning when dog was still sleeping fox tried to persuade Magpie to run away again and this time she did. Fox put her on his back and they ran out far into the desert. Then he stopped and Magpie got off. When magpie got off he said "now I'm going to show you and dog how it feels to be alone." At this point in the book i felt really bad for Magpie. Also thin fox was a very miserable fox and he wanted dog and Magpie to feel how he felt. I think it was a little bit of Magpies fault because shes the one who actually left dog.The book shows that u shouldn't take what you have for granted because what you have today may not be there tomorrow.
