Fantasy Stories



I am very pleased to see that you have all checked out a fantasy story from our classroom library. I hope you are enjoying them! Remember not to feel discouraged if you find them a bit hard! Keep on reading until the last page!

REMEMBER to FOCUS ON:
  • the moment reality is interfered by a fantasy element, a character, a place, or an event.

What do you think of Francis Bacon's quote on books?


"Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested: that is, some books are to be read only in parts, others to be read, but not curiously, and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention."
Francis Bacon.

Hello Miss Ale:

Really, I couldn't completely understand that quote, but I supose it is another way, unusual, but still another way to say how you have to read each book depending on what it is about.
The only one I can still remember while writing now, well, not the only one, but the one I most understood is, I supose, more or less the last one, to be read wholly. If I'm not wrong, he's talking about the bible, right?

Happy long weekend!

I think that he is quite right because books depending on if you like them, you are interested on them and other thing will depend on how you read it....

Hello Miss Ale!
I couldn't understand what the quote said exactly, but I would say it says that there are different types of books like long books,short books, fantasy books, suspense books, but they are all books! I liked the book that I read and it was very interesting but my book didn't have a fantasy element, that I was able to discovere... My book was Remmants.
Well anyways I liked the book.

Hello Miss Ale,

I think that what the quote means that there is not only one type of books, instead, there a manyt kinds of them. I hope it's the correct answer but although I liked a lot this post.

See you tomorrow,

Hi mis ale,
I liked very much the book you gave us about fantasy stories. My book was quite long, but I liked it so much that I read it in only 2 days!!!
It was true that the vocabulary was difficult and could affect the ones who read fast, but if you had comon sense, you coul see it wasn'tso difficult as every one says.
I understanded a little bit the quote taht Francis Bacon said. I think it it means that there are different tipes of books, books that you have to not leave them past(boks that are tasted), others that you have to read them fast (books that have to be swalloded), etc
