People are not Always What we Think

The landlady by Roald Dahl is one of his best short stories. This story is about a seventeen man that go in a work trip, when he get there he need somewhere to stay and a man tell him to go to the bell and dragon. In his way he find a bed and breakfast, after thinking for a time he decide to stay there. The landlady seams really good and the place really cozy, but with the time he realize that nothing is what he thought and the woman is crazy. 

Something i love about Roald Dahl is the way he brings to life his characters with characterization. For example the landlady

 “Left?” she said, arching her brows. “But my dear boy, he never left. He’s still here. Mr. Temple is also here. They’re on the fourth floor, both of them together.”   

This can show us, that the landlady is kind of crazy. Also we can assume that the tow mans are dead or also if the reader want to see the positive side he can think that they are really happy there and decide to stay forever. But in my opinion and the first thing that came to my mind is that the woman is crazy and kill the two man.  

In this short story there is not only a pretty good use of characterization but also of imagery.  For example

He stopped walking. He moved a bit closer. Green curtains (some sort of velvety material) were hanging down on either side of the window. The chrysanthemums looked wonderful beside them. He went right up and peered through the glass into the room, and the first thing he saw was a bright fire burning in the hearth. On the carpet in front of the fire, a pretty little dachshund was curled up asleep with its nose tucked into its belly. The room itself, so far as he could see in the half darkness, was filled with pleasant furniture. There was a baby grand piano and a big sofa and several plump armchairs, and in one corner he spotted a large parrot in a cage.

This can make us imagine a really cozy place where to can relax and probably nothing bad will happen. Also it makes me visualize a cozy living room with a hot fire, kind like a grandmother house.   

This was such a good story in all the ways possible, Roald Dahl use imagery and characterization is such a way that you can imagine everything like you are in the story and that is happening to you. Not only is a good story but the massage behind it is pretty good as well. We need to learn to be careful and also never trust first impressions. We need to be careful people can be bad and can make you a lot of damage. This short story is one of the best of all the ones we read. 

ALWAYS BE CEARFUL WITH STRANGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!

He freak-out and didn’t went home. Jonas know that  was wrong and that they should change it was now or never they needed to make a plan for the memories go back to the community.

At the end of the chapter 20 there is a quote that really grabbed my attention , it make me what to read more and know all            

How I imagine Rosemary 

                                                                                                                                                     

   “her name was Rosemary, the giver said.” (162)  

                   

When the giver said that hers name was rosemary he was talking about her daughter. This bring so much things to my mind I cannot stop thinking about this. So many questions came to my mind, like how do it fells to need to transmit the memories of pain to her daughter? It was difficult? Do the giver saw the release of Rosemary? I think it was really difficult I feel bad because I will not be in that position. The biggest question is what did the giver min when he say that he need to stab because he wanted to be with his daughter?

IN these few chapters a lot of things had happened. Not only we answer a lot of the questions I had at the beginning of the book also every word I read is more important and make me love more the book and anxious for keep reading. It has pas a lot of time since I really like a book that I need to read for school so I’m really excited  for finish the book. Usually I don’t read a lot and in this book I can stop reading the only think that I think of is finishing the book.
