The Metro Dogs Of Moscow Book Summary
The metro dogs of Moscow
The Metro dogs of Moscow was written by Rachelle Delaney and was copyrighted in 2013. JR, a Jack Russell Terrier, lives the good life with his owner George. George works for the Canadian Embassy. JR enjoys his “walkies” and meeting the other embassy dogs in the park each day. One day, he sees a stray steal food from a cart, and from that day forward, he wanted to sneak out.
JR longed to get out of his fancy, first-floor apartment. One day, George leaves his window wide open. That night, he sneaks out the window and meets the very same stray, Boris, who teaches him about life on the streets. JR promises to come out the next day. Unfortunately for him, the other embassy dogs tag along, and they find out that strays are disappearing. When JR’s embassy friend Pie disappears, the average-sized dog must rescue him- and the other strays.
The Metro Dogs of Moscow was a quick and fun book about dogs and their adventures in the capital of Russia. The author started the book right on point, which made me want to read more. Most chapters ended with a cliff-hanger, which kept me going, and the book ended clearly. JR was my favourite character, and the way that Rachelle Delaney described his wacky personality amazed me. My favourite part was when JR and Boris tour the Kremlin,

It was a little too short and fast paced. The author was trying to tell us that if there is a will, there is a way. JR solved a mystery and outsmarted some humans. Sometimes, unlikely heroes can take charge and save the strays- and possibly every dog in Moscow. It also shows that sometimes you need to take risks. JR risked his life to save his friends. These lessons also apply to real life, even though the book is fiction. For example, if someone needs to cross a bridge and they’re afraid of heights, they will if they have courage. If they want to, they can. The book made a clear point, and I would surely recommend it to

    In Anton Chekov’s “The Lady with the Dog”, Chekov uses direct language along with slight descriptions to dictate the setting. However, the main purpose for the settings of Yalta and Moscow are to influence Gurov’s motives and feelings. The atmosphere that Gurov is open to is infectious. The locations of Yalta and Moscow represent two different ideologies in Gurov’s life. Yalta expands on the mischievousness and romantic aspects of Gurov while in Moscow the boring and mundane life of Gurov is exhibited. The location called S. is brief, but also entails a rebellious attitude. The plot overall is pushed forward by the chronological change in venue.…

    It was quite boring and not much occurred until near the end of the book. Subhi’s mother lies in bed sleeping for most of the story, while Jimmie and Subhi constantly meet up with each other to tell stories. I was hoping for some more action and conflicts to help stay interested. Nevertheless, it is difficult to find anything else not to like about the book. The writing style is fantastic, it flows smoothly, and it gives a great view of what it is like to live in a detention center or refugee camp.…

    I did enjoying when O’Brien talked about the soldier's life in different chapters to get to know them a little better. Towards the end of the reading, a part that I liked and enjoyed was when Tim O’Brien talked about his love for Linda and how they went on their first date when they were nine years old. This just demonstrates how things back then in the 1990’s where better than now and days and you actually ask a girl out and they get nervous and have butterflies, it’s so cute. A part that I could relate to in the story would be where Rat Kiley felt depressed because all his buddies died. When I was little I had a litter puppies and all died and only one lived. The one that lived was very sad and gloomy because her brother and sisters got sick. This affected me because I saw them get sick and there was nothing we could do or the vet, just like Rat Kiley wanted to be a heroic medic. The resolution of the book was somewhat disturbing but satisfying becauses, there was lots of details and at the end it left you wanting to know more about Tim O'Brien's…

    Heart Of A Dog Analysis

    • 2824 Words
    • 12 Pages

    Heart of a Dog: A Change of System, Not of WaysMikhail Bulgakov's Heart of a Dog is a scathing criticism of the Bolsheviks and the state which they created. Bulgakov's characters in the house in Moscow are a microcosm of the society in 1926 Russian cities. What happens in the house is a representation of what has happened since the revolution and what is happening in 1926 Russia. The characters represent different sections of a society which is supposed to be without classes, but still has some of the old elite intelligentsia, Professor Philip Philippovich and Dr. Bormenthal, a new class of elite, Shvonder and the members of the house committee, and the same old dog of society, the peasants and workers. Sharik, later known as Sharikov,…

    I think this book was very entertaining and very well written because it captured my attention easily and made me not want to put it down. I strongly agree with the way that Klavan writes. He has only a few main characters, but he develops them extremely well, to the point that you feel like you know them personally. If there are too many main characters in a novel, I get lost over who is who, which was not the case here. One of Klavan's strong points is writing clearly. He doesn't beat around the…
