Day 5, Chapters 17-20 of Phantom Tollbooth

I have finished the book! That would be pages 211-the end. This final section summed up the book, like most books do. Milo, the main character, rescued the two trapped princesses. When he gets back to town every one is very proud of him, that’s when the Mathemagician tells him that his task was “impossible, completely impossible” (247). I thought that was a pretty cool idea, that you can do anything as long as you don’t know it is impossible. Milo ends up taking his little car back home. Then he finds out the tollbooth is gone, which makes him sad. There was a note that told him that other kids needed a turn to go on an adventure. Milo finally learns about important things to do in life, and that his time is valuable. In the beginning of the book, he was always bored, now he won’t have that problem. The most important symbol in this book is the tollbooth. It allowed Milo to go on a long adventure and coming home about the same time. I think he may have just dreamed it all. Without the tollbooth there would not have been a story. I think the author did a great job writing this book. He really makes it a book you won’t want to put down. How would you like to take a trip through the tollbooth? Have you ever stopped to think how valuable time is too us, and not to waste it? I wish there was a sequel.
