The book “Whirligig” is a book by Paul Fleischman that shows a hero’s journey and many themes. in my assignment i have wrote a poem showing the journey of Jenny and her Grandmother. The poem shows how Jenny is focusing too much on the past. Jenny’s grandmother wants her to be happier and laugh more. The second part i did was a continuation of the book. I wrote about how Brent returns back from building whirligigs and wants to continue building more in every state. He gets into an argument with his parents because they want him to go back to school. if Brent continues building whirligigs then there is no balance in his life. They decide to let Brent build one more where he meets Alexandra who helps Brent build his last whirligig. This can show the theme of interconnectedness and how Alexandra was just visiting New York for a couple days. I put lots of work into this assignment and I hope you enjoy reading.
