What is making Who Really Killed Cock Robin a really important book today? ~~~*__________________________________________________*~~~ What I think made WRKCR an important book from very back then to today is first, Ecology. Ecology played quite a big part in this book, but it obviously didn’t take over much of it. It talked about the physical surroundings, like forests, rivers, it also spoke of different organisms especially birds. It talked about the connections of animals, including their food chain. That also had a big part in the near beginning of the story. I think it’s important that kids in school, like me, need to learn this type of stuff. It could be useful. It’s cool to learn about animals, isn’t it? :3 ~~~*__________________________________________________*~~~ …show more content…
Pollution is not a good thing at all. Yet it was still teaching about it, to help kids learn about how bad it is for the environment. It can kill animals, many many animals. Like in the book, tons of fish were floating dead on their backs due to the pollution the river contained. Also, mostly in the beginning to the middle of the story the mayor and most other characters suspected that pollution had something to do with Cock Robin’s death, because its such a big, bad thing. I think this is a very important thing to know about. If you didn’t know anything about pollution, you’d probably be doing things that caused it. Since you do know, you’d probably do your best to help the …show more content…
I liked the style of this book, it was unique. It was cool how the author of WRKCR said things to remember in the beginning, but you instantly forget when you get near the end. By then, you remember how it literally gave away what killed Cock Robin, but in differently arranged words. It also had a cool technique with the points of view. In the beginning, it was present time, as well as the end of the book. But in the middle of the book, it was a flashback of the research being done on who killed cock robin. I as well liked the way they added special details in the science related topic that you would never expect. For example, like how there was a man who made rugs of natural dyes long ago, but they didn’t grow anymore and everyone started using artificial coloring products, by then the man stopped. Another example would be Tony sneaking out at night to help with research on Cock Robin with Rob, the
