The Enchanted Garden

From the title of this book, first, I predicted the garden that is really great and there are a lot of fun. After I started reading the book, I was bit confused because two boys are playing outside, not in the garden. After I finished the reading, I knew more about the title.

There are swimming pool, food, ping pong table in the garden. But the garden is not two boys'. There is a boy who looks unhealthy and it is his garden. For the unhealthy boy, the boys are enchanted but for the two boys, the unhealthy boy is enchanted. I see irony in this book.

I uses the reading strategy, Picture the story in my head. The expressions in the text about the garden are a lot. Therefore I pictured the garden in my head according to the text. I simply picture the garden looks like my condominium garden because there are swimming pool and ping pong table.
