Entry 7

[are there any settings in this novel which you have found to be beautiful? or disturbing? or memorable? describe these settings and comment on why they were meaningful to you.]

The most memorable setting I have found is the farm with the windmill being built. The animals have decided to make a windmill for better living, and this windmill’s size or height was not told, but I can imagine the machine working beside the farm. It is made out of stone, probably grey, and cements were used. It would look like a small tower with fan-like wings going around on its head. I am not sure if I can call this windmill “meaningful” to me. While I was reading this novel, the windmill was broken down a several times and had to be rebuilt. Every time that happened, my emotions were similar to the animals in the book. “Do they have to build that again?” I gaped at the page of the book when the windmill was blown up. While reading about the windmill, I was reminded of myself building something with a toy. It had taken me a long time, and someone trips on something and lands on my masterpiece. I was sad as the animals were in the novel. Maybe this is why I have chosen the windmill as the most meaningful or memorable, because it made me feel the shock of recognition twice. I think I reacted most to the events related to the windmill more than I did to other major events.
