I read A Mango Shaped Space By Wendy Mass. I choose this scene because it represents the book very much. The scene is important to the story. The scene is that my main character, Mia, is putting a painting of her grandpa and her cat on her grandpa’s grave. The rain and Mia’s cat destroy the painting. This scene is representing that her grandfather is being washed away from her life. The scene has no dialogue and takes place at a grave. The scene is sad and gloomy and takes place on a gloomy day.
I represented this book in a diorama because that was the best way to describe the scene. I made the diorama with lots of different materials. I made a church, two hills, different culture grave stones, a girl, a cat, clouds, rain, dead trees, and so on. For the hills I used cardboard, green glitter, paper stone pathways, paper grave stones and I used hot glue to put all the things on the cardboard. For the church I used cardboard and a paper church. I used the same of other materials for the rest of the things in the diorama.
I like how you made the diorama and how you made it look like it was really there.
When I first looked at your diorama I thought it was the real book cover.
I was really excited to read this book! But I never got around to it, now that I read your review I think I might pick it up.
Tess this is an amazing post. I love your diorama and your introduction because it is really descriptive like how you said all the materials. The diorama is very detailed, good and I am very impressed. I love this!
I really liked this post. I liked it because I thought you did a good job describing why you picked this scene. I have also read this book and I could really understand everything you added. Good Job!
I’m thinking of reading this book because of the beautiful way you described it. I bet you worked really hard on that diorama its great!
