The
tale of Jeremy the vole
I
read the tale of Jeremy the vole, written by Stephen lawhead this is a fiction
book.
This
is a story about a vole named Jeremy. (“A vole is a rodent resembling a mouse but
with a stouter body, a shorter, hairy tail, a slightly rounder head, smaller
ears and eyes, and differently formed molars “Wikipedia) He lives in a hole in a river bank by himself. On his way for a swim a great blue heron
stops him and gives him a task to warn everyone the worst flood in 100 years is
coming and to get to high ground. But after the flood everyone blamed it on
Jeremy the vole, when Jeremy the vole was making his home again a friend a duck come and says sorry about
calling him names a yelling at him so his friend gives him a feather from his chest.
I
like this story because Jeremy the vole was a good character and a role model.
The writer described him well and the other animals suited their roles in the
book. The flood was a big bit in the story and makes it adventurous.
I
think the message of this book is to stay on task when you are doing something
that needs to be done. I felt annoyed with the animals that were calling Jeremy
the vole names and would not listen to him during the story and maybe the message is listen to other people
even when what they are saying probably not likely listen to them anyway. I
think another message is to realise when you making a mistake and a apologise.
I
would tell a friend that I had read that book and I enjoyed it a lot because the
writer has a whole series of books and it makes me want to read another book
as well.
