Word Watcher- Blog Post #5

"I could have finished them off earlier but I slipped into daydreams and sat frozen like a kitchen boy in a spellbound castle, a nut in one hand, a tool in the other, until the sound of approaching footsteps woke me up and plunged me, blinking and confused, back into time." pg 96

The text explains that Jack was saying that he could have finished whatever he was doing but instead he went into a daydream. He uses a simile in this text, Jack compared himself slipping into a daydream and sitting there frozen like a kitchen boy in a spellbound castle. Once Jack started to hear the footsteps it woke him up and when he got up from his daydream he was confused and back into time.

  1. I can relate to this post because sometimes i go through the same situation where i freeze and zone out but all of a sudden i hear footsteps or someone comes, i automatically get back to what i was doing.
