Where the Wild Things Are

I never really thought of the symbolism this children's book has to real life. Just goes to show that in books especially symbols can be found everywhere. You got to have a mind of a literature person. I don't really know the word for them but anyways talking about the book Where the Wild Things Are, sometimes I feel like I want to escape to my own kingdowm and bring out the "wild thing" in me. Sometimes I want to escape and enter the world of rumpus of the wild things. I could be the queen like Max was the king. I really want to see the world and explore different things but then after all that craziness, I would like to come home to some hot dinner that my loving mother had fixed especially for me. Then I wouldn't feel so lonesome. I feel once I would escape, I would miss home terribly. As soon as I go off to college I know for a fact I'll be home sick. Anyways, I love this book. I remember when I was a kid my mom read me that book almost every night. When we read this book in class it brought me back so many memories to my childhood. I haven't seen the movie. I was with my dad when my mom saw it with my little sister and she said she didn't like it! I was like "oh my gosh." I couldn't believe it.
