The section of reading that I just finished was quite dramatic. The craziness that goes on in Oxford University in this story, is beyond actual reality. This is why i'm not that big of a fan of fantasy stories. It's hard for me to appreciate the author's imagination and ideas, since none of this would really happen. The thing that gets to me the most is the daemons, the figures that follow all of the characters around that are meant to express the external expression of their master. It's a cool idea, but it reminds me a lot of "Pinnochio" and Jimmeny Cricket, which makes me think that the author, Phillip Pullman kind of stole that idea. I feel like I would enjoy this story more if it was a movie, instead of a book, or at least if it had pictures to help me visualize what's going on. Nevertheless, i'm going to contiue on this book and hope it gets more interesting, which it should when the "golden compss" comes into play.
In this section of reading, Lyra's best friend, Roger Parslow disappears and is believed to have been taken away from the "Gobblers." The Gobblers are a mysterious group that is believed to be taking chidren away from the University. This reminds me of Argentina, when the government was corrupt and took away thousands of people who were believed to be against the government. Maybe it's the same idea as this and the Gobblers are taking away students who are against the school board.
