I'm happy to see you liked 'Lord of the Flies' too, Niamh! It's hands-down my favourite book, i've read it on several occasions. Who's your favourite character?

Great answer! Simon's my favourite literary character ever. I love the symbolism behind his character and just the way he contrasts the general attitude in the book. He's a great character!

Out of the gate and off for a walk went Hairy Maclary from Donaldson's Dairy and Hercules Morse as big as a horse with Hairy Maclary from Donaldson's Dairy Bottomley Potts covered in spots Hercules Morse as big as a horse and Hairy Maclary from Donaldson's Dairy Muffin McLay like a bundle of hay, Bottomly Potts all covered in spots, Hercules Morse as big as a horse and Hairy Maclary from Donaldson's Dairy Bitzer Maloney all skinny and bony, Muffin McLay like a bundle of hay, Bottomly Potts covered in spots, Hercules Morse as big as a horse and Hairy Maclary from Donaldson's Dairy Schnitzel von Krumm with a very low tum, Bitzer Maloney all skinny and bony, Muffin McLay like a bundle of hay, Bottomly Potts covered in spots, Hercules Morse as big as a horse and Hairy Maclary from Donaldson's Dairy With tails in the air they trotted on down past the shops and the park to the far end of town. They sniffed at the smells and they snooped at each door, when suddenly, out of the shadows they saw... SCARFACE CLAW the toughest Tom in town. "EEEEEOWWWFFTZ!" said Scarface Claw. Off with a yowl, a wail and a howl, a scatter of paws and a clatter of claws, went Schnitzel von Krumm with a very low tum, Bitzer Maloney all skinny and bony, Muffin McLay like a bundle of hay, Bottomly Potts covered in spots, Hercules Morse as big as a horse and Hairy Maclary from Donaldson's Dairy straight back home to bed.

Can't be a true story because Schnitzel von Krumm would have ripped Scarface Claw apart

Looks like Bitzer Maloney was the only one who stayed and challenged Scarface Claw judging from that pic

Dracula - Bram Stoker... undoubtedly my favourite book ever.
Nineteen Eighty Four - Orwell... didn't understand it at school, loved it when I read it because I wanted to. Catcher in the Rye - JD Salinger... for me, the greatest American novel. Hearts in Atlantis - Stephen King... a series of connected stories. One of the best books from one of the best-selling writers whoI think is sadly underrated by the Literati. The Blind Assassin - Margaret Atwood... incredibly clever novel within a novel, totally absorbing. Last edited by Livia; 18-10-2012 at 08:48 PM. |
