Chapter summary (cpht 2) Haroun and the sea of stories

With the help of Mr Butt, Haroun and Rashid see the wonderful sunset hoping it will cheer Rashid up. However they meet a “Shiny-faced, snooty” man called Mr Buttoo, a politician who wants Rashid to persuade people to vote for him which Haroun is not comfortable with. It made him “Feel ill,” because Mr Buttoo wants Rashid to lie about him. The reason is because people will believe him since he is known as the ocean of notions.

The witches (by Roald Dahl)

This book is about a boy who encounters two witches and also witnessed the power of a witch.

Witches in this book aren’t like the typical witches that ride brooms and wear pointy hats. They look just like normal women!

Whats so bad about them you ask? Well their mission is to get rid of all children because to them children smell like dogs droppings

So when the boy and his grandmother (a witch expert) travel to England the boy finds a stunning discovery. A discovery witch experts all over the world have been trying to find. THE GRAND HIGH WITCH! (Aka head of RSPCC) No non witch has ever seen her. Together with his grandmother they take down the Grand high witch. However the boy is turned into a mouse by the witches new formula “Formula 86 delayed action mouse maker.” They plan on giving out sweets for free with the formula turning kids into mice.

In my opinion this author is very different from others for example Witches are known for their hats and their magic broomstick also witches usually don’t appear in the modern era.

Another thing I like about this book is that the plot of the story isn’t as obvious as you would expect it to be e.g the main character is often unhurt but in the book the grand high witch turns him into a mouse to be killed by a mouse trap but he makes it out alive… just.
