Image result for the swiss family robinson Hi,

My name is Thomas. I am 11 years old and I will present you a book I just read: The Swiss family Robinson.


Characters

Heroes

Fritz: He is the oldest son, he made many of the discoveries and helped his dad keep danger away and food plentiful. When they shipwrecked he was 15. He tamed a wild Onega which they named light foot because he ran really fast.

Ernest: He's 11, he helps out everywhere and find things in the places where they go.

Jack: Jack is thirteen, he helped mostly with finding food and hunting with Fritz and his dad.

Francis: he's the youngest son at 8 but he helps out by helping to make the food and garden.

Elizabeth: She's the wife of the narrator. She cooks things and makes the clothes will the father and some of the sons go with him to get food and explore.

The Father:  He's the narrator, he's Swiss and he led the way to great success at the island. He made sure everything was safe and created ways to accomplish things that helped them in their goal to survive.



Secondary characters

Emily Montrose: she was the daughter of the captain of a fleet but since she's not supposed to be in a battleship she went on a different ship and shipwrecked on the same island as the Robinson's.

Turk and Flora: They were the dogs of the captain but he might not need them anymore. They had been found by Jack on the wreck.

 Antagonists


Boa constrictor: When they had thought it was peaceful a boa constrictor came over and started killing their animals, they tried shooting at it but the shots would not go through the scales, they only managed to kill it after it had eaten their donkey, Grizzle.

Brown bears: They had attacked when Ernest discovered them, he had ran away and they had followed, but when he met his father and the bears emerged from the forest they were shot and killed.

Lion and lioness: When the family were exploring and camped in a place a lion had jumped out of the bushes and got shot dead but his mate killed Flora, their dog, who inflicted death upon her killer too.

Location


They Shipwrecked somewhere in the Pacific ocean

style of writing

I think that the style of writing is one that seems to boost you through the book, making you hungry for more.

Intended audience

I think the intended audience was anyone who read and like Robinson Crusoe.

What I liked most in this book


The thing liked most in this book was that anything could happen.

Bilbo the hobbit

Hi,

My name is Thomas. I am 11 years old and I will present you a book I just read: The hobbit


Characters

Heroes

Bilbo the hobbit: Bilbo was a peaceful creature who ate a lot before the adventure and came back with dwarven chain mail armor, a elven sword named sting and a bold heart.

Thorin Oakshield: Thorin was the grandson of a famous and rich dwarven lord but he loosed his inheritance when a dragon named Smaug invaded his grandfather's castle.

Bombur: Bombur is a fat fellow who likes to eat and after going through the elven forests, dream too.

Gandalf: Gandalf is a wizard, where he walks adventures spring up and happen, he can do wonderful things but terrible things too. He only comes when you least expect him and most need him.

Dwalin: Dwalin is a dwarf, his grandparents were there when Smaug attacked the castle and probably died so he joined Thorin because he had a bone to pick with Smaug.

Balin: Balin is a dwarf, he was part of the hunting party which comprised of him, Thorin, Kili, Fili, Bombur, Oin, Ori, Bifur and Bofur, they were all out hunting when the dragon attacked so they were unscathed.But they wanted revenge

Kili: Is one of the youngest dwarfs in the group

Fili: Is also one of the youngest in the group

Dori: Is in the group because he had revenge in his mind but he especially thought of the treasure the dragon had hoarded.

Nori: Nori was in for the gold, they would each get a fourteenth of the gold when they slayed the dragon.

Ori: Ori was in for the revenge but how can you not resist tons of gold too?

Oin: Wanted the gold especially but the revenge was sort of the problem since a dragon is hard to kill.

Gloin: Was in because he was part of the hunting group when the dragon attacked, oh, and because of the gold.

Bifur: Was there almost entirely for the gold, almost.

Bofur:  Was there for the same reasons as everybody else.


Secondary characters

Beorn: Is a super-strong guy who has many really smart animals who do the dishes and stuff, he can turn into a bear too.

The lord of the eagles: The lord of eagles is, well, the leader of the eagles, he helped Thorin and company when they were in trouble with the goblins

Bard: Bard is a archer and a descendant from the lord of Dale, but Dale got destroyed and everyone there died when Smaug attacked, Dale used to be right next to the mountain where Thorin's grandfather used to rule.

The master of the lake-men: He's the leader and sort of the mayor of lake town, a small village that was built on water.


 Antagonists

Smaug: The dragon killed thousands of innocent people, destroyed a civilisation and almost finished another were it not for the little troop.

Gollum: He lives in a cave, deep, deep, deep, deep underground and guards a magic ring that make anyone wearing it invisible. He got it from his birthday, but don't feel bad when Bilbo stole it from him because Gollum almost killed Bilbo.

The goblins: They were the ones to force the dwarfs and Bilbo to separate and caused him to meet Gollum

The three trolls: they managed to capture all the dwarfs and the dwarfs would have been eaten if Gandalf had not came. By the loot in the trolls cave the troop armed themselves.

Location

The world they live in is called the Wilderlands.


style of writing

It is written beautifully but if you don't pay attention you may skip a line. It captivates the reader and opens the world to him showing everything with the most detail possible.

Intended audience

I think the intended audience is for people who need to find a match  for Harry potter, and if that is the case then I think that this book is better.

What I liked most in this book

The thing I liked most in this book was that Bilbo changed over the course of the adventure and displayed courage, friendship and truthfulness.
