Reading response: The BFG

     In the book, "The BFG" by Roald Dahl is about a little girl and a Big Friendly Giant. The little girl named Sophie is an orphan. The book is also about Sophie and the BFG saving the world from the disgusting flesh eating giants. In the story the BFG, seems very scary and disgusting, but his personality makes him look like a very nice person. One major theme in this book is people shouldn't judge people for how they look.

     One day Sophie was laying down in bed and couldn't go to sleep. She sees a Big Friendly Giant(BFG), nut thinks he is a horrifying creature. She tries to hide from him but it was too late, the Giant has seen her and taken her from the room. The BFG takes Sophie to the land of the giants. Immediately, Sophie thinks that she will be eaten by the giant. Some how she figures out that the giant is friendly and won't hurt her. The BFG shows her the other nine giant that are bad. They are flesh eating giants that will eat anything. This shows that judging somebody by there appearance isn't a good thing because you won't know how they act. 

     Sophie tries to help the BFG by making all the giants go away. Using the BFG's skills that could make a dream in the queen of England, that would show how bad the other giants are. Also to make it sound real the BfG makes the dream show Sophie in her bedroom when she awakens. When She awakens she knows the Giants are real. That afternoon the BFG comes into the bad giants territory with the army. Soon they were all gone. Sophie had helped the BFG. 

      Judging somebody by there appearance isn't right because that's exactly what Sophie did and soon found out that the Giant was actually very friendly and helpful. And they both became friends and helped each other out.
