Giving my opinion

Pudsey, My autobidography.

Date Read: 25th to the 27th

This book is about a dog called Pudsey with big dreams.
It shows the life of a dog who stresses about finding a home and when he does,
is to scared to follow his dream, which is to dance. When he finally gets up the courage
to do so, it shows of his way to stardom, fame and eventually winning britain's got talent.
Of course he can’t do it without his friends Brad the cat, the guinea pigs, his Mum and his
beloved owner Ashleigh.
As you read along with the fun loving characters you can’t help but falling into
the story too.

I chose this text because I wanted a fun and humorous read which is exactly what this
book is. Also it involves lots of animals, bad jokes and laughs,
which is exactly what most books need!

Quote 1:

“What happens when you stop chasing your tail and start chasing your dreams?”

-Pudsey

My opinion:

I think that this is a subtle way of telling the reader that if you get a chance to follow
your dreams, do. Never stop believing and working hard, it never
hurts anybody. I like this quote because it focuses on the positive things and inspires
you to work harder.

Quote 2:

For I had found my special place at last. After so much searching,
I didn’t need to call upon my imagination for somewhere I could go when
things go tough. This was very really and available to me at anytime. -Pudsey

My Opinion:

I think that this is his way of saying everyone needs that special place where they feel safe.
Somewhere that they can relax, be themselves and feel safe and at home.
I also think it’s a fantastic way of ending this book by making the reader relate to
themselves.

I think a message this text is trying to convey is to follow your dreams,
because anything is possible if you keep trying and believing in yourself.  
Stay around positive people who can help you achieve your dream, have fun and
work hard!

Language feature:

-Onomatopoeia/repetition

“Thud, thud, thud.” (Pudsey falling down the stairs)

The impact on the reader is the repetition which makes the point stronger and
seem more important and the words “Thud,thud,thud,” help you to imagine the
noise and create the picture in your mind.

This text can be linked to the book “a dog called homeless,” because it’s about a dog that influences the lives of people around him.
It can also be linked to the world by the fact all the characters are so different and diverse, there are some nice people and some not.

To sum up, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and I hope that you will too.
