The BFG

By Roald Dahl

In class we wrote about our book that we were reading and what character was the most interesting. Here is my interpretation of who I think is the most interesting character.

Sophie is a small 8 year old orphan who lives a sad life, until one night when a giant snatches her out of her window. But his giant does not eat her. He is a friendly giant called The Big Friendly Giant or the BFG. This character is instantly lovable because of his funny attitude and his cluelessness of our world. The most funny characteristic about him is how he talks. He has never been taught the English language, so he borrowed a book to teach himself. Because of this he often messes up his words which creates very funny mistakes.

Today we went out to the Morton Arboretum with 5th Grade. While there we took many pictures and our guide taught us a lot of facts about trees. Here are some pictures I took when hiking through the 1700 acre preserve.
