Tunnels Vs. Cass McBride
Before the Tunnels, my book was What Happened To Cass McBride ?. This book was pretty good. Tunnels and Cass McBride book have some similarities and some differences. But I am sure these two books are very good. First of all, if we look the page numbers, Tunnels is longer than Cass McBride. Also, in Cass McBride, fonts were very big and the book's pages were about 210. But fonts were very big, so it means if we compare it with Tunnels's font, I would read like 60 page in Tunnels. Despite the Cass McBride, Tunnels is 472 pages and fonts are not really big, and not really small.
In Tunnels, the book starts with event and you can understand easily what they are doing. Of course they are digging.In the book Dr.Burrows said, 'Pass me the crowbar'.(Page 1 line 11) So you can understand they are in the tunnel. Because you can not use crowbar for brush your teeth or for other things. But In Cass McBride, the book starts with questioning of cops to Kyle. You can not understand really what is happening. But it is not bad because you feel excited and curious. Events passes like 'flash', I mean you pass other event, you go past. You understand events slowly.
These two book's events are different. For example when you read Cass McBride you will see events are always exciting. But in this book it is not really exciting now. But I really compare this book between 100 Cupboards and I think they are really similar. When I read the summary it says ''Soon the boys are lost in a dark underworld, desperate to escape the clutches of a cruel and brutal cult.'' It is really similar to 100Cupboards.Because in 100Cupboards, there are cupboards and the cupboards opening to another world, we can say underworld too.
There are some similarities between these books too. For example some of the characters are similar I think. I really compare Will and David. Because both of them are not popular in school and also their parentship is not good enough.In the book it said like 'There is only common thing between his father is digging and tunnels' Also the feelings are similar. In Cass McBride, the events can be real but in Tunnels the events can not be real. There is no other world.

Favourite Scene So Far
My favourite scene so far in my book (Tunnels) is when Dr.Burrows and Will found a old office and there are some posters,and old boxes. These boxes are very old that if you do not take them quickly they can split in your hands. It is why Will took the boxes quickly. In boxes there are some tickets. When Will looks these tickets, his father whose name is Dr.Burrows found a machine. The machine was the ticket-printing machine. It was very old but Dr.Burrows says If he do something to machine he can provide to operate it. When Dr.Burrows said that, Will asked 'For museum?', but his father says 'No,for my collection.' When Dr.Burrows said that, Will became slient and did not say anything. Dr.Burrows understood Will was not agree with him but he explained what happened last year when he found something new and someone stole his discovery. The man who stole his discovery was a journalist and he only mentioned about Dr.Burrows a bit. Dr.Burrows was angry with him. Now, he is still angry with him. It is why he does not want to give museum. Will agreed now his opinion. It is my favourite scene so far because when I was reading this scene I really wanted to know whose this office or what will they do. I really excited in this scene. Also narrator's explaining the setting was very good in this scene. He tells about the boxes are very old,or the ticket-printing machine is old, and there was a old event which effect Dr.Burrows. I liked these event because know something about the characters and their feelings, connects us to book and we can guess about Dr.Burrows and Will's characteristics. This picture that I put it top of this page was bright but I like this picture so I edit it with brightness efects. And know it is like the room was dark. I choose this picutre because there are boxes and in my book there were boxes and also old things.
