Wind in the Willows WS ~NOT FINISHED~ ONLY NEED TO DO THE REST OF THE PICS

<--- Ewww, my worst.


Chapters 1-3 Questions:

  1. Why is Mole lucky to have met Rat on his first trip out into the world? What might have happened to Mole if Rat hadn’t found him? He would've had to do spring cleaning.
  2. What was Mole’s first impression of Toad? How did it change after the trip in the gypsy caravan? Mole thought Toad was a great animal to meet but after the trip in the gypsy caravan it changed to a little... crazy.
  3. Do you think it was brave or foolish of Mole to go off into the Wild Wood by himself? Explain your answer. I think it was both brave and foolish because it was dangerous to go into the Wild Wood himself and it was also brave because he made it through, even though he was scared.
  4. How did Rat show his friendship to Mole when they both got lost in the Wild Wood? Hard to explain but Rat became kind of rough and stubborn and anxious to get out of the Wild Wood with Mole
  5. What problems do you think Toad, Mole and Rat may have with their friendship in the future? I don't know, they'll definitely encounter more dangers and other stuff which could cause problems that could effect it I guess. :/
For fun: Make an illustrated map of the settings described in the first three chapters of the book. Include Mole’s hole, the river, Rat’s home, Toad Hall, the gypsy caravan route, the Wild Wood, and Mr. Badger’s house.

You can do this on paper or in Photoshop.

It's so much and took forever, go up top to see them. Done on Photoshop. Go up to the top The one that doesn't say anything is Rat's home.


Chapters 4-6 Questions:

  1. If Mr. Toad lived today, what new craze or fad would he take up?
  2. probably helicopters or computers or T.V.'s
  3. Whose house do you find most appealing – that of Badger, Mole, Rat, or Toad – and why?
  4. Toad because he has a REAL house! >:D And it's a mansion!
  5. Do you think friendship was the same in 1908 as it is today?
  6. Sorta, there was different as well as less technology and such as we have now so there could've been different interests than nowadays.
  7. Would you have liked to live in the English countryside in 1908, in the setting of this book? Why or why not?
  8. I guess I wouldn't mind. I sounds nice but I'd have to adjust to a different time-zone and change my accent.
  9. How does the time period influence the way the four main characters speak.
  10. Because there was different etiquette.


Chapters 7-9 Questions:

  1. What secret message do you think Rat and Mole heard in the wind in the willows?

  2. How does Toad’s strong sense of dignity create a serious danger for him?
  3. Do you think Toad will return to Toad Hall without being found by the police? Why or why not?
  4. Should the gaoler’s daughter and the engine-driver have helped Toad escape? Explain your answer. No because if they didn't let Toad escape he wouldn't be captured and Badger, Mole and Rat would have him so Toad wouldn't terrorize the whole city and so he could be punished.
  5. If Rat and the Water Rat were humans, would this part of the story still be a fantasy? Support your answer with details. Nope, the book was really realistic except for the fact that they where animals. People go boating, they live in houses, they own cars, horses and other things explained in the book.


Chapter 10-12 Questions:

  1. How does the way Toad acts with the barge-woman show that prison didn’t change him?
  2. How did the battle for Toad Hall help unite Rat, Mole, Badger, and Toad and make them forget their conflicts with each other?
  3. What conflict did Toad have with himself after Toad Hall was regained? He was a little messed up and annoying.
  4. Do you think the four friends will continue to live peacefully together? If not, what might happen? Yup, there is nothing that I can think that will happen.
  5. What lessons about friendship did you learn from this book?None. :(
