1.) Gestures are all that I have; sometimes they must be grand in nature." (Stein 1)
I thought that this line was interesting because it already begins to explain the complexes of a dog which I think is neat. It also sounds like it's about to begin a "grand" story which is always a good and intriguing way to start off a book.
2.) One part of the book described how Eve got sick and packed up all her and Zoe's things and then left the house for a couple days, leaving Enzo alone because Denny was also gone in New York. It then went on to describe how Enzo survived with no food and little water while remaining calm and understanding the situation. This was a good, but sad, part in the book because it shows just how smart Enzo is and how maybe his soul and mind are really human, which is also why it's important.
Another part was where Enzo and Denny were watching his big race and Denny described everything he was doing very detailed to Enzo, who understood every single concept, word, and movement. This is a good, and important, section because it shows just how close they are, and how well Enzo's brain works especially considering he's a dog.
3.) I chose this book because I love dogs a lot and I had never heard of such a neat book idea of doing a story in a dog's perspective of life. I'm about 75 pages in and I love it so far. Usually I have a hard time focusing on books and paying attention but this one is different because it's completely different than anything I've ever read. It's interesting, funny, and sort of sad all tied into one.
This book sounds very interesting! Do you think the story would have been as affective if it was told from the perspective of a human or in third person?
ReplyDeleteHonestly I don't think so, the point of view was basically the foundation of the whole book.
