The other day we looked back at the books we read this past year. We were comparing messages and remembering what some books were about. Then our teacher Ms. Teschow told us to write a blog post about our favourite book. Here's mine:
Winston of Churchill
My favourite book we read together out of all 13 we read together was "Winston of Churchill" for the following reasons.
I liked some features of the book like how it was about a polar bear. (I like animals.)
Also I liked how the main character of the story was based on a real person, Winston Churchill, the prime minister of Britain about 60 years ago, which was around World war 2. One thing he was saying is that we should not give up in the war. In fact one of the speeches Churchill said in real life was also in the book. "We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches. We shall fight on the landing grounds. We shall fight on the fields and streets. We shall fight on the hills. We shall never surrender." This was funny because the Polar bears in the book were not on an Island, they were in Manitoba!
Winston the polar bear said that "we must all do our part, no matter how small" as he fought for his home.
Life learning
Now that's just one book we read but all the others had messages too. We read books about racism, teamwork, treasure meaning, and lots more! There were some similarities between the characters and the messages in many of these books, but all of them deep down inside had their own special message.
It's important to take what you learned with you! A message I will take with me is that everyone can do their part to make the world better place. That doesn't mean to do as little as you can, but if you can only do a little, that's okay.
