The Phantom Tollbooth

          I have noticed a great many things in the Phantom Tollbooth. For example on pg 19. When the weather men is talking about how people never go beyond Expectations. That's capitalized because in the book it's a real place. It just got me thinking how it's true. Some people that you may have high hopes for never go beyond expectations. Like in school. Some students never go beyond what the teacher expects of them. Or in the book some people never go beyond Expectations as a place. And as it is the weather mans job to urge them on, its a teaches job to urge on his or her students to go beyond expectations too. This also makes me think about how the author takes things from real life and makes them literal.
           Another example of the author making things literal  is on pg 31. Tock tells Milo that if he starts to think the car will get moving. And it's true. If you work hard and think hard things will get moving. You will get a good job and have a good life. Besides becoming a zillionaire what could be better?
