Rhetorical Reflection: James and the Gaint Peach

I loved James and the Giant Peach. I think the book has a sense of weirdness that I enjoyed as a child and later, now that I am older, intriguing. Although some people may argue that the beginning of the book is too depressing, I rather like it. I think that his parent’s death by being eaten by rhinos reveals that death is not meant to be taken too seriously in this book. My favorite part in James and the Giant Peach is when James attaches the giant peach to seagulls in order to escape the shark. I enjoyed getting to experience James becoming a leader and saving the day.
