THE PHANTOM TOLLBOOTH by NORTON JUSTER Page 40~70

Now, Milo and the watchdog already in Dictionopolis. They meet five odd people who are called The Duck of Definition, The Minister of Meaning, The Count of Connotation, The Earl of Essence and The Undersecretary of Understvoanding. They always say the same word in different ways. They tell Milo that words could be bought in the market. If people want to say this word, they must buy it in market. Then, Milo and Tock go to the market. They meet the spelling bee and a man who is called Humbug in there. They quarrel and fight with each other. Then the policeman comes here. He thinks that everything are just because of Milo and Tock. So he puts them in prison, and Milo meets an old woman who is called Which in the prison. She tells her own story to Milo and Tock.

Now, i feel that i go to another place with Milo and Tock. In Dictionopolis, i can find the wrong grammar everywhere. people don't care if it is wrong. They just use. Actually, i also don't know some vocabularies in here. Same as Milo, i also think i need learn more. If some days i need to use these, i can just use not like people in here. Sometimes, people don't care how to use the words in the right way, maybe just because this, the write feels it is nessary to tell readers if we all use the wrong words. which thing will happen, maybe just like the city.
