Solutions To English

verbos pronominais são os verbos conjugados com os pronomes oblíquos - os que mais usamos, são: me/se/nos; e esse pronome vai se referir ao mesmo sujeito na frase, podendo ser reflexivo ou recíproco: Os reflexivos é quando o próprio sujeito faz a ação: Olhar-se Eu me olho no espelho (você está olhando para você) Eu olho no espelho - sem o pronome, significa que você está olhando ao espelho, mas não está olhando para você; você pode olhar ao espelho do carro e não se olhar! Os Recíprocos é quando duas pessoas fazem a mesma ação ao mesmo tempo: Beijar-se Eles se beijaram na balada (duas pessoas beijaram uma a outra). Eles beijaram na balada (beijaram outras pessoas, não um com o outro). Alguns verbos são essencialmente pronominais…

Hi and welcome back to Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH by Robert C. O'Brien.
Illustrations by Justin Todd. Read by me, Teacher Alyse.

📖 Chapter 14: The Marketplace

Before I begin reading, here’s a quick summary of the chapter:

Mrs. Frisby is shocked to learn that her late husband, Jonathan, was part of the rats’ secret past. Nicodemus explains that Jonathan had a good reason for keeping the truth from her, but he never had the chance to share it before he passed. As they talk, Nicodemus suggests moving to a quieter location so he can tell her the full story of the rats’ origins.
He leads Mrs. Frisby to his office, a comfortable and well-furnished space, where she notices a radio playing music. This sparks a memory of something Jonathan once mentioned, and she is fascinated by the sound. Nicodemus then begins to recount the history of the rats, starting at a marketplace near a big city where he and many other rats once lived.
The marketplace provided plenty of food, making life easy for the rats. Nicodemus and his friends, including his intelligent companion Jenner, often explored the area, gathering food and playing. One evening, while searching for food, Nicodemus and the other rats were suddenly caught in a trap. Bright lights flashed, and men in white uniforms appeared, capturing many of them with nets. Nicodemus himself was ensnared, signaling the beginning of a life-changing event for the captured rats.

Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH 

Chapter 14 The Marketplace

“ I actually just finished a wonderful engrossing book just last week, which I couldn’t put down for a moment, and read from cover to cover in just two days. The book was an autobiography on a very famous musician and member of one of the most famous rock bands in history, the Rolling stones….

 

It was one of my friends who is also interested in music recommended the book to me, as he knew I am a huge fan of the Rolling Stones. That evening I checked out reviews for the book online and everyone was giving it a 5 star rating, so it was off to the bookshop for me to pick up a copy as quickly as I could. 

 

The book basically tells the life story of a music legend from his time growing up as a young child in England in the 1950s to becoming a rock legend, and a founding member of one of the biggest rock bands of all time. It really gave an incredible insight into his life, from a very humble beginning to becoming a megastar. It certainly was not heavy reading, and the author’s sense of humour actually made it light reading.

 

The reasons I really loved this book so much apart from being a lifetime fan of the central character, were firstly…. It gave me an amazing insight into the real life of a rockstar, which was actually very thought provoking…….I also found it very inspiring and uplifting….to discover how this young boy from a very normal background believed in his dreams, and stopped at nothing to achieve them….and of course the crazy journey of a rock star along the way…So….yes…..It really was one of those books that i just couldn’t put down, and would have no hesitation in recommending  to anyone.
