Significance- I think that this story is very significant and has a lot of meaning because it tells the us that your imagination is your own limit to what you create. In this story, Nick is getting punished, and blamed from alot of the teachers for creating a replacement word (Frindle) for the word pen. Everyone should read this book because it talks about someone that isn't afraid to break free from fear, and get the nerve to create something that could get him in so much trouble. A risk like this takes strength, and confidence. I'm not saying to not listen to your teachers, but if you find something not fair, or something that needs to be changed, them go for what you heart believes in.
Perspective- This story was written by Andrew Claments, who is a Christopher Award winning author. I am looking at this from Nick's point of view, and I am on his side. For the whole story, I thought that the mean language arts teacher was the bad guy, but at the end, I figured that she was all for the frindle idea in the first place. (This is a 3rd grade level book)
Evidence- The authors brings up alot of facts while making the character fight the teacher. He tells us alot about the origin of the Webster Dictionary, and alot of facts about the origin of the word pen. In my opinion, although he is the main character of the story, I felt that he was not developed with much detail. I would sure like to know more about him. In the story he gets interviewed by many news casters, where are the details about that. I guess that they only put big details for the important parts, but every part should be important in the book.
Connection- This story is specifically connected to kids telling them to create things that you believe in. This story has inspired me to start saying the word frindle instead of pen. And one of my goals is to create the word gorange, which means beautiful, or gorgeous. That way there will finally be a word to rhyme with orange. If Nick hadn't made the word frindle, there wouldn't be this story. I know that this is a really a third grade level book. but it has inspired me to borrow my sister's Andrew Clements books.
Supposition-If this story took place back in the prehistoric age, maybe Nick would be calling a rock the frindle. Well, actually, back then, the english language wasn't developed. If Nick was older in the story, maybe in 7th, or 8th grade, I don't think the teachers would hate hime using that word so much. They would let him say that word as long as it didn't affect his work. If the story took place at HTMMA, it would actually turn into a short fad.
