The Plant That Ate Dirty Socks, Nancy McArthur

Significance

The significance of this book is that it shows two characters sharing the same room. One side of the room is a disastrous, dirty area with dirty socks everywhere. The other side that is clean and neat. It is important because it shows two brothers sharing the same room, and it relays a message in a imaginative way which I engaged into reading the story. It also is important because as the line above tells it can give you a reminder that you should keep your room clean room and it added an extra which was the plants which gave the imaginative way of would can happen if you keep a dirty room. Why you should care about this book is that the two characters Michael and Norman shared one room and it tells you in a way that if you keep your room dirty and bad looking, more troubled things will happen in your room potentially.

Perspective

My perspective of this book is that it I thought it was an okay book. I think the author wrote this book because she had the thought of putting in to kids mind that what could happen to their room if they keep it dirty and it would shock them and they would potential keep it clean. My view of this book is that I think it was point less if you were reading it you would see that it is talking about the same issue and topic. I don't think this was a great book to read but I received what the author was trying to get out. So what I received as the message is that keep your room clean because if you don't and what to plant some bean seeds it will eat all that dirtiness that you left on the ground esp. dirty socks. I also thought this book was very imaginative.

Evidence

The argument that is being made in this book that the main characters one of which is neat and the other which is dirty share the same room. So, the argument is whether or not Michael the dirty person needs to clean up his side of the room. The facts used to support this argument is that both of his parents told him to that he needs to clean his room and that it was very dirty, his brother said his room was dirty and and coming across to his part which was neat, and the special bean plant showed that room was dirty by eating his dirty socks that was everywhere. These comments can be facts or opinions in the book they so them as opinions and my personal thought is that I think they are opinions and facts because you can show it in tow different ways.

Connections

The books connects to the real world because there is a lot of kids out in the world that keep a bad room and it shows them what will happen if they keep like that. I think it has been influenced by the past because she the author has lots of books like this one so I think that's how it was influenced and this time she made a book about the bedroom scene. This book could affect the future because I think if kids at the young imaginative way they will read this and say I don't want that to happen to my room and keep it clean without the motivation by their parents. Those are the connections I have gotten from this book.

Supposition

As I conclude this book I think it was okay. Life would be the same with or without this book I think. This book reaches out to younger people and tells them a story. I would change nothing of the book I think it was a good story line but a bad and borieng book to read.
