THIS WAS ALL THROUGH. WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU WERE IN THE BOYS SITUATION? WHAT IF YOU WERE IN THE BOYS SITUATION AND YOU GOT CAUGHT WOULD YOU BLAME YOUR FRIENDS, OR GO TO JUVINELE HALL TRYING TO SAVE THE OWLS? I HOPE THAT YOU READ THE BOOK AND ANSWER MY QUESTION ON THE BLOG HERE IS A REVIEW. "With a Florida setting and proenvironment, antidevelopment message, Hiaasen (Sick Puppy) returns to familiar turf for his first novel for young readers. Characteristically quirky characters and comic twists will surely gain the author new fans, though their attention may wander during his narrative's intermittently protracted focus on several adults, among them a policeman and the manager of a construction site for a new franchise of a pancake restaurant chain. Both men are on a quest to discover who is sabotaging the site at night, including such pranks as uprooting survey stakes, spray-painting the police cruiser's windows while the officer sleeps within and filling the portable potties with alligators. The story's most intriguing character is the boy behind the mischief, a runaway on a mission to protect the miniature owls that live in burrows underneath the site. Roy, who has recently moved to Florida from Montana, befriends the homeless boy (nicknamed Mullet Fingers) and takes up his cause, as does the runaway's stepsister. Though readers will have few doubts about the success of the kids' campaign, several suspenseful scenes build to the denouement involving the sitcom-like unraveling of a muckity-muck at the pancake house. These, along with dollops of humor, help make the novel quite a hoot indeed. Ages 10-up." Publishers Weekly (Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc.)

Bo, I noticed that some of your blog post gives away parts of the story that the readers will want to find out themselves. You asked a question, DO YOU THINK THAT THE BOY SHOULD HAVE STOLEN THE STURVEY STAKES WHILE TRYING TO STAY THE OWLS? This question makes me think about whether people should stand up for what they believe in. I think the person who stole the survey stakes was sending an important message to the community. Have you ever wanted to stand up for something that you thought was unfair or unjust?
ReplyDeleteI like the way you used pictures on your blog Bo!
Mr. Hull
I agree with Mr. Hull on this Bo, that some of your content is too revealing. I mean if I hadn't finished this book and you've informed me about this with your question "NOW EVEN THOGH THAT HE SAVED THE OWLS SHOULD HE HAVE GONE ALL THE TROUBLE TRYING TO SAVE THE OWLS?" it would've ruined the suspense. No offense ):
ReplyDeleteAnyways to answer your question, I felt that the kids would've gone through all that trouble if it's something they truly have close to their hearts. Like hockey, would you go through all the trouble of training and improving just to become a professional hockey player if there is a slight chance you wouldn't make it? The same question is applied in Hoot. Luckily, we have valiant protagonists in 'Hoot' which makes the story line so intense.
By what boy's situation? Roy's? Well, me personally I wouldn't have gotten involved, but I'm very grateful (and so are the owls) that Roy had gotten involved and acted exactly what he had. Everything counted, because it's a story, which means the main actions of the characters would fit perfectly to end a satisfying ending :D Good question by the way!
Well being Mullet Fingers he can escape easily out of Juvie hall, wouldn't you agree? So it was all worth it, HE believed it was all worth it. Truly if I were in that position I would've done the same since Lonna Leap never even wanted me. Being Roy, I would've been more self conscious since I'm deathly afraid of my parent's punishments and how much they'll be let down due to my actions. In essence, everything turns out satisfying for you if you stand up for what you believe in. I guess that's the moral of the story, no wonder they made it into a movie.
Nice blog Bo, yet maybe you can indent a couple of paragraphs next time. Hence MAYBE. P.s. I like your pictures(:
-Brendaaa!
Bo, your summary of the novel was very good and you presented some very interesting questions. I do have one simple suggestion for you...Copy and paste your text into Microsoft Word and use the spell check feature. You should do this for every piece of writing that you create!
