The Fifth Child Book Covers
I chose the second one, because it shows the truth inside of the book as well. It looks like the sceene described when Ben is sitting on his bed, and hiding from Harriet. He is crouched on the bed hissing in anger. So this show's what will be happening later in the book. It also shows that he is an outcast sitting alone with no one to help him. So all the people outside, are societies views against him. It also looks like the face of a monster, or the evil inside of him. The hatred that he has for all man kind and the hatred that he has when he is sent away. Especially when he gets back, and David tries to approach him he will hiss and try to bite David. So all of this togethe rsums up the book cover, and that is when i chose it.

Hey Dallas!
ReplyDeleteI understand what you are saying about Ben crouching on his bed and that cover represents that particular scene in the novel very well. I believe that that cover illustrates the scene where Ben tries to jump out of the window in his bedroom.

i completely agree. i chose the second cover as well, mainly for the same reasons as you. The cover tells the basics of the story It shows Ben crouching, and the face of a monster. Both of these things are very important to display Ben's character. Good job!

I agree with what you said, although i did choose a different cover. Ben is the one crouching down on the cover, but the evil face that is also visible fits Ben's personality. He is a devil child that can attack anyone at any moment without any feeling of remorse. Of course his parents fail to get him proper care, which adds to his anger and pain.
