Just a Dream

The book I am blogging about is called Just a Dream by Chris Van Allsburg. It is about a boy who isn't very eco-friendly. He liters and he doesn't recycle. His favorite show is about a boy in the future and they have flying cars and lots of cool things like that. When he pictured the future he always thought of his favorite show. He always wanted to dream about the future. But one night when he went to bed right after watching his favorite show he wished extra hard and that night he went into the future. He went to eight different locations but none of them were how he pictured the future to be. His street was distroyed. The grand canyon was too fogged up to even see it. When he got back he changed he started to recycle and be more eco-friendly. That night he went into the future again but this time it still wasn't like his favorite show but it was a world where everything was clean. I thought the lesson or moral of the story was how you treat the earth today will influence the earth in the future. I think at first the author thought of the main character as a trouble maker and not someone you would want to be around but as the story went on I think the author found him as someone who you would want to be around. I think the author's purpose was to tell people to always treat the earth well so it can be around for a long time.
Hope you enjoyed my blog!!!!!
