When the Wind Blows

Reflection

I thought this story was sad because they both died.

The labour herald said “this book deserves a wide audience and should be compulsory reading.” I think every student should read this book because it has lots of action and it is interesting.

The guardian said “it  is meant to break your heart to some purpose” I think it is meant to break your heart because it is very sad.
