What do you think a witch looks like?Is it a fierce face, with a hooked nose, a pointed hat, and a broom flying all over the sky?
And the book "Witches" tells us that real witches, who look no different from ordinary people, may be all around us.
The book The Witch is a comic book version of Roald Dahl's classic, starring Anne Hathaway in the movie of the same name. The author, Roald Dahl, is known as one of the world's best storytellers, who once beat J.K. Rowling, and even the Queen of England and the United States are his fans, and the book has won several world awards.
The protagonist of the story is an eight-year-old boy whose parents have passed away and he lives with his grandmother. When the little boy clamored for Grandma to tell him a story, Grandma did not tell fairy tales like other adults, but told the story of the witch.
When my grandmother was five or six years old, one of her classmates met a witch and mysteriously disappeared from her bed when she woke up the next morning. Jing looked for her everywhere and found nothing for weeks. Later, my grandmother found out that she had come back in an oil painting at her classmate's parents' house, and she was trapped in this painting ...... this way
When the little boy asked if this was true, his grandmother said very solemnly that I would never lie to you, my baby, and that adults should not lie to children. This is a good lesson for us that sometimes even if the truth is scary, we should tell the truth to our children, and that being overprotective is not necessarily good for them.
Grandma teaches the little boy how to distinguish witches, and the little boy later sees through the witch's plan, they want to destroy the children of the world, but the little boy is only eight years old, can he save the world?
The comic version is more hearty to read than the ** version, the storyline is very exciting, and interlocking, and the twists and turns of the plot are addictive.
The quality of the books produced by Langhua has always been very high, and the blue cover pictures are very eye-catching, quirky and avant-garde.
The character design in it is also very interesting, grandma loves to smoke cigars, perm big curly hair and step on high heels, like a fashionable girl. She doesn't lie to children, she never forces the little boy to do anything, she just gives him plenty of space, lots of love and hugs, and tells him stories that most adults don't tell an eight-year-old.
Imagine who doesn't love such parents?Children who are surrounded by love and hugs are full of security and strength, and many times we teach children that they do not need to be preachy, and giving them enough space and understanding will get twice the result with half the effort.
Despite its witty and humorous storyline, it is still warm and touching at its core, and thought-provoking. For example, about love, the little boy later became a mouse, but grandma still loves him as before, and true love is that no matter what you become, your relatives will be by your side.
The little boy loses a lot of things and suffers a lot of setbacks after turning into a mouse, and he still doesn't change back at the end of the story. This ending is a reversal of the routine, which may tell us that life is not as beautiful as a fairy tale, there is a cruel side, but with loved ones around, everything is not too bad.
At the same time, the book "The Witch" throws us with the question: what is a life worth living?If your life is as long as a mouse's, how do you want to spend your life?
I thought about it carefully, if life really becomes so short, you must find what you really love, and devote yourself to this love, cherish the people who love you, cherish the good time of the day, and then leave your own traces in this world, such as words.
I hope we can all live in our love and shine.
