Whilst reading "The Wind in the Willows" i've been writing very scribbly notes in an A5 sketchbook which are all too embarrassing and messy to upload, so yesterday I decided to start a fresh new A4 sketchbook. I wanted all of my favourite quotes and notes to be in one place so that it was easier to reference and look at.
So far I have read up to Chapter 7...the book is quite slow...to say the least. I am enjoying it don't get me wrong, but i've already got an idea in my head of how I think I want the final poster to look from the notes I have gathered from the first 7 chapters (I promised myself I wouldn't read the plot summary on wikipedia but today I caved). From what I have read so far, the things that have stood out the most for me are the contrasts between the lives of Mole, Ratty and Badger, compared to Toad's lavish lifestyle. Mole, Ratty and Badger all live comfortable simplistic lives in their natural habitats, where as Toad is anthropomorphised even further and lives in a house with luxuries. I really want to somehow show the two opposing lifestyles, one being Badgers underground burrow/home and the other being Toads mansion with it's beautiful gardens, caravan and cars.
