Short Summary
|
|
Pinnochio, before becoming his puppet form, is a simple block of wood,
|
|
which an unfortunate lumberjack by the name of Cherry comes across and
|
|
decides to make a fire with him, Pinocchio in the small shack of the
|
|
lumberjack, cries out in protest of being thrown in the fire. The
|
|
lumberjack, who was a very spiritual fellow though that some thing had
|
|
inhabited his cabin before realizing that his block of wood was crying in
|
|
his hand. At that very moment there was a knocking on the door and in came
|
|
Geppetto, better known as Polendina by the neighbourhood boys because of
|
|
his very bright yellow wig. Anyways Geppetto came in and asked the burly
|
|
lumberjack if he could have a piece of wood, because that morning he had an
|
|
impulse to make a puppet. The lumberjack agreeing and relieved to find a
|
|
way of getting rid of the piece of wood and handed it over immediately, but
|
|
just as the two hands transferred the wood the piece of wood cried out
|
|
"Pollendina"! Geppetto outraged at being ca lled this scr eamed at the
|
|
Cherry for he did not know that the wood had said it, so
|
|
Ô ‰ ? €% ÔCherry then said that à Ãà ÃÄ ÄÄ Äthe wood had said that,
|
|
Geppetto furious struck Cherry for thinking he was a imbecile and a huge
|
|
fight occurred. After the fight the two men got up and shook hands and
|
|
promised to be friends forever. As soon as Geppetto got home he began work
|
|
on the puppet and as soon as he had finished the mouth he decided to name
|
|
the puppet Pinnochio. The puppet then started to laugh for no apparent
|
|
reason, Geppetto was beginning to get angry. So he finished up the rest of
|
|
Pinnochio's body and just as he was rummaging an old chest for some small
|
|
clothes Pinocchio jumped up and ran out and away. Geppetto then ran after
|
|
the puppet and caught him in the middle of a road, as he scolded Pinocchio
|
|
a crowd gathered and some of them said that Geppetto would harm the puppet
|
|
when they got home so Geppetto was sent to jail and Pinnochio ram away from
|
|
the ca rbineer he was in and set foot for home. When he entered the small
|
|
room he noticed a voice talking, the voice was the talking cricket. The
|
|
cricket advised him to go to school and called him an Imp for not wanting
|
|
to go, Pinocchio in his rage threw a hammer at the poor cricket and "SPLAT"
|
|
that was the end of the cricket. Pinocchio then dozes of in front of the
|
|
fire and sleeps overnight in warmth. The next morning he sees his legs are
|
|
gone and starts to cry. Just then Geppetto gets home and demands the door
|
|
be opened but Pinocchio legless cried out his situation. Geppetto did not
|
|
believe until he had climbed up the ladder and seen himself. Sorry for the
|
|
puppet Geppetto then made Pinocchio a new pair of legs. Geppetto then
|
|
feeling sorry for Pinocchio gives him his breakfast of three pears. Then
|
|
Pinocchio promises to go to school, Geppetto then goes out and sells his
|
|
coat so that he can buy Pinocchio a spelling book. Pinocchio, on his way
|
|
to school, heres music and excitement and heads towards it's direction
|
|
curious. It lands up to be a fair and Pinocchio wanting to go in to see
|
|
the puppet show sells his spelling book for admission. Inside the theatre
|
|
he sees other puppets. Inside the puppets see Pinocchio and run to him and
|
|
pick him up on their shoulders because all the puppets loved Pinocchio.
|
|
Their master Fire Eater demands to burn a puppet so his meal will get hot.
|
|
Pinocchio begs for no one to be burnt and is granted his wish. Fire Eater
|
|
after hearing Pinocchio's sad story about his father selling his own coat
|
|
so he may go to school. Fire Eater in his pity gives Pinocchio five gold
|
|
pieces and tells him to take them to his father. Pinocchio is enormously
|
|
grateful and heads on his way home. On the way he meets a fox and a cat
|
|
and they tell him about a valley where when you plant your money in grows
|
|
into a tree of money. Curious, Pinocchio set off with the two thieves
|
|
towards the Valley Of Miracles. On the way they s topped and ate a huge
|
|
meal costing poor Pinocchio a whole gold piece. Then Pinocchio heard the
|
|
voice of the dead cricket and took it's advice on going home. Setting on
|
|
towards home to award his father with the remnant of the five gold pieces
|
|
he comes along some assassins and they demand that he gives them his money.
|
|
Pinocchio bites of one of the Assassins "PAW" and set off across the valley
|
|
towards a small house in hopes of finding aid. He is caught before he makes
|
|
it towards the house and is hung on a tree until he spits the money out of
|
|
his mouth. The fairy in the small house sees all that happened and sent a
|
|
carriage to get Pinocchio. When he came back there were three doctors
|
|
waiting to examine him. They all diagnose him as near dead and to take
|
|
medicine until he gets better. Pinocchio refuses to take any medicine and
|
|
is finally convinced to take it when some huge black rabbits come in and
|
|
say that they are here to take him. Pinocchio then s tarts towards home
|
|
again and meets the Fox and the Cat and is convinced again to go to the
|
|
field of miracles. When he gets there and waits for them to grow the Cat
|
|
and the Fox take the Gold pieces and they take off into the wilderness.
|
|
Pinocchio is thought to be bluffing and is put in jail. After four months
|
|
of jail he is let out and finally on his way home he goes to grab a bushel
|
|
of grapes and is caught by the owner and is sent as a punishment to take
|
|
the place of his old dog. Pinocchio catches at night the poultry yard
|
|
thieves and is rewarded with his freedom. He sets of to go the Fairy's
|
|
house, but when he reaches the small house all that remains is tombstone
|
|
with the Fairy's name on it. Pinocchio then went to look for his father
|
|
Geppetto. He found a pigeon that flew him to the shore and left him there
|
|
and he saw Geppetto in a small boat rowing in search of Pinocchio. Before
|
|
he reached the shore his boat sunk and Pinocchio went after him. Pinocchio
|
|
woke up in another count ry and finds the Fairy again but she has grown up
|
|
and she becomes Pinocchio's Mother. After a long while of school and good
|
|
behaviour Pinocchio is awarded with being turned into a real boy. But that
|
|
very night he decides to go with one of his friends to a place where they
|
|

|
|
his companions were turned into donkeys. The next day they sent to the
|
|
market to be sold and Pinocchio was bought by a circus trainer and trained
|
|

|

|
|
well and has a small shop were he works.
|
|
|
|
Critical Analysis
|
|
This book is really quite active all around, the setting is always
|
|
changing and the story moves along at a nice pace, the characters are
|
|
extremely well described and their thought easily translated on to paper.
|
|
The Illustrator of this book has bigger credit than the Author but I guess
|
|
Greg Hilderbrandt deserves it after all his famous drawings. The character
|
|
development was well done describing the many things Pinocchio changes
|
|
into, as for the general interest I think that most people would like it
|
|
because of all the mischief Pinocchio gets in so that helps create tension
|
|
and excitement. And for adding a little spice Mr. Collodi threw in a bit
|
|
of old English humour to perfect this masterpiece. A slight drawback of
|
|
the book is that is unabridged and old English sometimes becomes hard to
|
|
follow. My overall rating for this book is 9/10.
|
|
|
|
My Recommendations
|
|
I recommend this book to people twelve plus because you got to have a
|
|
slight idea what "Thou createn, I will have my Vengeance!" means, I also
|
|
recommend this book to all readers who like fiction and outrageousness,
|
|
because I don't think you can live in the digestive track of dogfish for
|
|
four years without being fried by the stomach acid. I also think that this
|
|
book DEFINITELY not for those die-hard Steven King fans because being a fan
|
|
of Steven King it was hard to get into style of non-gore reading, I didn't
|
|
think the real Pinocchio was so good because I thought it was amateur
|
|
reading material but I was just relating to the elementary version of
|
|
Pinocchio.
|
|
|
|
Time Capsule
|
|
The ten most important moments in the book are
|
|
1.Pinocchio first being carved into a puppet.
|
|
2.When Pinocchio saves the puppets at the puppet house.
|
|
3.Pinocchio being convinced to go too the Field Of Miracles.
|
|
4.Pinocchio being chased by Assassins.
|
|

|
|
7.Finding the Fairy again in the new Country.
|
|
8.Being taken to the "Magic" land with his friends.
|
|
9.Saving his father from inside the Dogfish.
|
|
10.Finally being turned into a boy.
|
|
