The Phantom Tollbooth By Norton Juster Page 150~200

After they meet the doctor and Dynne, Milo goes to a place called The Silent Valley where has no sound. People in here are sad because they want to hear the sound no keep silence everyday. They ask Milo to help them to carry a little sound from the Soundkeeper who lives in a great stone fortress. They also tell Milo because long long ago people use sound always in a wrong way and the doctor and Dynne give people a medicine and make there just has noisy, they take beautiful sound . Then make Soundkeeper anger and take out all of the sound. Milo feels sad about this and accept to help them. Then Milo, Tock and Bug begin to see the Soundkeeper. When they meet the Soundkeeper, she tells Milo now she like keep ailence because people always creat some noisy. And she takes Milo to see the sound that she keeps and show him how to invent the new sound and how to collect sound. Milo tries to keep a little sound in his tongue and go back to the valley. He put the sound to the bottom, then every sound comes out. Everyone becomes so happy inspect the Soundkeeper. Until Dynne gives every beautiful sound back, Soundkeeper becomes so happy and then she is crying. After say bye to them, they begin to go another place. During their way, they go to an island called Conclusion. There has an odd man who don't know who he is. After help him, they know why they come here due to jump like people who is so lazy and just jump to the conclusion. After a long way for swimming, thay run away from the island. Then they meet Dodecahedron who has different faces. He takes them to see the king who is in the cave. After a big meal, they all feel more hungry. Everything they tell Milo all make him becomes more confusing. After that, he also meet a child called .58 who is from a family about average. He tells Milo why we need the average but still make Milo confusing. After all of these, Milo feels everything for him is so hard.

This part is so long but i still find some thing make me think deeply. The first thing is the Soundkeeper think every sound must be stop just because they have some sound not nice. I don't agree with her because i think one thing always have two different parts. We can't just think the bad part then threw away all of the thing. We need to change the bad part to another place that thay are useful. And combine with the right part, that is the correct way. Also, the odd man who lives in the island, his words also make me think more, he says that people always ignore the middle part and just jump to the conclusion when they are meeting any difficult. That is really true. When i study, i also do like that. Now i feel so sorry about this and i hope i also can face the problem that i meet not just try to jump. Now i find that is really a good book and teach me more about our life. Thank you for the good book, Wendy.
