Coraline pgs.73-80

When she went out to explore she met up with the cat and they walked around and somehow they ended up right back at the house where they started.The cat told her that the reason that happened was because "she" hadn't invented anymore new places yet.Coraline's other mother is trying to keep the cat out of there world because all he is doing is trying to help Coraline get out of there and she doesn't want that.But she allows the mice to stay because they are her spies.Coraline goes back into the house and walks down the hallway and sees herself in the mirror,but something taps her on the shoulder and its her other mother she asks her why she didn't see her in the mirror and her other mother says that mirrors aren't to be trusted.They both go into the living room where the other mother offers Coraline some candy she thinks it might be some nice chocolates but shes totally wrong her other mother pulls beetles out of the bag to eat Coraline in disgust denies the candy offer.Her other mother was trying to be nice to Coraline but she want having it so the mother decided to lock her up in a dark room behind the mirror and tells her she can come out when she decided to be a kind nice loving daughter.I would so freak if i got put in a dark room i thinks that's a bit harsh.

Coraline pgs.67-72

A lot hasn't really happened,the next morning in her other home with her other parents the sun woke her up.She got out of bed and decided that she couldn't wear her pajamas all day so she had to wear the clothes her other parents had for her.She went out to the drawing room to see if the door was open but it wasn't her other mother must have the key with her she thought.Then she went out to find her other dad because she couldn't find her other mother.And her other dad was acting very funny he was telling Coraline that he shouldn't be talking to her unless "she" was around meaning the mother so Coraline said okay I'll just go outside to explore some more and the father said that it would just be boring because all she made was land and flats.at this point i would be really confused as to what hes talking about.

When she went for her walk outside things seemed exactly the same.As she was walking around she ran into a cat but this cat was very unusal,it could talk and it had black button eyes.Coraline tried talking to it but the cat wasn't being very talkative with her it was just being very sarcastic but all of a sudden mice appereard and the cat ran away.So she decided to keep walking around and she noticed Miss.Spink and Miss.Forcible's flat.She knocked on the door with only her first knock she made the door swing open she went inside to find a very big room far in the room was a very dim light she began walking towards it and there sat a dog.This dog could talk to it asked her if she had a ticket to watch the show Coraline at this point was very confused.i know i would be.Coraline responded and said no so the dog let her sit and watch the show anyway.On stage was Miss.Forcible and Miss.Spink.they were doing tricks and they were skinny and pretty but had black button eyes too and the audiance was full of talking dogs clapping and cheering for them.After awhile she left and walked around some more and saw her second set of parents in the garden so they all walked back to the flat.When they got there they were saying how wonderful it would be if Coraline would live with them forever and all she had to do was sew big black buttons on her eyes to be apart of them.Coraline didn't like that idea so she paniced and ran to the door which she came out of the first time.The brick wall wasn't there again lucky for her,as soon as she got to the other side she quickly locked the door and ran to the kitchen got something to eat and sat there waiting for her mom to get home.
