Wonder Struck
The story I had just begun is called Wonder Struck by Brian Selznick. What's so creative about this story is that there are two stories being told at the same time. One story is being told by words while the other is being told by sketches. Today, I am going to talk about Ben's story, the story that is being told by words. Ben is a boy that is deaf in one ear. He lives with his cousin, Robby, and Aunt Jenny. This story takes place in Gunflint, Minnesota, 1977. His mother had died three months before June, but Ben still remembered things about her to keep him company. One day when he was visiting his mother's old house, Ben found a book that was called Wonder Struck that was in his mother's dresser drawer, which was about different types of museums. While he was reading, he found a bookmark that said, February 1965. Elaine-This piece of me is for you. please call or write. I'll be waiting. Even though his mom was completely deaf, he had questions going through his mind. Did he have a father? If so, where was he? Did his mom have a girlfriend? He opened the chain around his neck, and was speechless. He was looking into a man with his own eyes. His father.
The part when Robby threw a shoe at Ben's head in the beginning of the story made me think of the time when I was sleeping in my room, which is shared by my little brother, Zachary, and all of the sudden, he threw his stuffed Mickey Mouse up to my top bed of the bunk, in which it made me wake up. It reminds me of that scene because it connects exactly to what the setting was. Ben is like Kestrel from the recent book I have just finished, The Wind Singer. He reminds me of Kestrel because she is adventurous while getting the Wind Singer's voice returned; Ben is more into finding his father.
I really love the way Brian Selznick wrote his story in the most creative way I can ever think of. It's like watching a movie, but as sketches! I wonder why his father never returned to him? If I were to search for my own father if he was missing while being deaf, I will look for clues from where his last traces were. After reading this book, I would love to read the Inventor of the Hugo Cabinet!
