 * Questions: ||  Classic – Title: Wind In The Willows
 * 1. Describe the time and place in which your novel is set. What clues within the book tell us this? || Wind In The Willows is set in England and I can justify that because of the way the country side is described, Toad is sent to the highest guarded prison in England.Houses now in England are more developed than the houses described in the book. || Freeglader is set in the Edge a floating chunk of Earth I can justify this because at the start of the book it shows a picture of the Edge. ||
 * 2. Who are the main characters in your book? List the names and a short description of their personality traits. || The main characters in Wind in the Willows were Mole(Kind Caring and acceptful),Ratty(Calm Goes with the flow helpful Leader,Toad(Aggresive sneaky uncontollable) and Badger || Rook Barkwater is adventurous, kind and curious. Felix is brave and adventurous ||
 * 3. Describe the significant relationships between the main characters. || Mole and Ratty have a very close realationship between each other because from the very start of the book Ratty invited Mole to his house to have dinner and then go back to his own house but he ended up staying with Ratty for atleast a week. || Rook Barkwater and Felix Lodd have the closest relationship together because they lived together throughout school and Felix taught Rook the ways of t he sword ||
 * 4. Who is your favourite character and why? Or - Who is the character that you can most closely relate to and why? || I like Ratty the best because he has the easy life because, his house is half on the river bank and half in the water, so whenever he chooses he can just get his boat and sail in the river. I can relate to Ratty because he is always calm but whenever someone gets on his nerves he will deal with them in a strict way. || My favorite character in Freeglader

 * A brown little face with whiskers, a grave round face, thick silky hair, neat ears and a twinkle in its eye: page 4

 * so this is a river, yes it is like a brother a sister an aunt to me : page 8

Xanth..Xanth Filatine page:1068 || Describe //your feelings// towards the novel. Did you //enjoy// it, why or why not? Did you find it easy to get into? Did you like it the more that you read it? Would you read more books by the same author, or of a similar genre? || The Wind In The Willows The genre of the book is adventure because they set on an adventure to find each others friendships and to meet new friends.Toad has an obsession for motor cars which then puts him behind bars, Toad escapes and comes back to his friends where he then finds out that the evil and horrible weasels have taken control of Toad Hall which then obviously means that Toad, Badger,Ratty and Mole have to fight the weasels and take back Toad Hall to who it rightfully belongs to.
 * A prison! a terrible prison, deep in the bowels of the Tower of Night... How you suffered... The stench, the filthy rags, the lice and ticks... year after year, on a jutting ledge in the darkness... and....the key in the lock... the heavy door opening... Your jailer entering
 * 6. Is your book an example of ‘classic’ or ‘modern’ literature? You must use evidence to back up your stance. For example; has your book stood the ‘test of time’? Are there theme’s that will transcend time? || I think that my book is a classic because it has stood the test of time, in other words it hasn't been forgotten over the years. The theme of animals talking I think will be used more often than other themes, also the theme of friendship between the characters which I think stands out in most classic books. || It is a modern literature book because it has only been released in the last 5 years. ||
 * 7. After reading the book, write a short note to a friend __describing the book__. Include a description of the //genre//, //setting// and //difficulty level//. You need to also include the following information; What were the main //themes// in the book? What was the //central conflict//? How was it resolved?

I feel that this book was quite good but in some of the chapters the narrator was talking for the majority of the time, so all in all I think that it is an alright book and that I rate it 6 out of 10. I wouldn't read books with the same genre but I would still read the same books made by the author.

the difficulty level is a bit hard probably a 6 out of 10 because it contains a variety of language not commonly used today. || Freeglader The genre of Freeglader is adventure, death and war, it is a narrative. It is set in the edge. out of a 10 I would rate this book a 6 because the style of language is very complicated.The main themes were Death, War and Friendship.The central conflict was between the Shrykes, Goblins and Librarians.Rebel Goblins killed the other Goblins and ended the war.

I really enjoy Freeglader but not only the book but the whole series it gets me so interested and it makes me feel like I could read forever.

I enjoyed Freeglader so much because it not only had alot of action in the book but it made you connect and feel that you had a relationship between the characters.

I found it easy to get into Freeglader because it contained alot of the themes that I like.Yes because it just continued to have alot of action.

I would read more of the same series and more books made by the same author. ||
