After reading this novel . I came to realize that respecting animals is extraordinary important . As a human being , we should emphasize on not only our life but also others’ .
The Gregg’s in the story is just an example for pouncing on humans after the nature is damaged . Don’t look down on natural power because it might even surpass our imagination .
There is still one thing to mention . The lead in the story should take good control of her “magic finger” because it is not correct to put magic on people who made her angry . She should use positive method to solve the problem .
It is an interesting novel . However it contains some important thoughts inside . Maybe we can start to consider about what we will do if we have “magic fingers”.

This is one of the most boring stories that I have read , but it is much better than ‘The Dragon King’. I think it tells us a very important thing: The person going hunting in order to amuse is really guity of terrible crimes, they will eat evil consequence by oneself. I will as shame pieces of mankind with me sometimes because we can not always learn to respect naturally, respect the life. If in order to live go hunting that even if, but if kill in order to kill, that kind of person puts the hell to calculate! Hope we can be watched out for from this story.

To tell the truth,it is a boring story.Nonetheless,we learn that animals just like Mother Nature which is not to be pushed around.We cant's butcher guiltless
animals just for pleasure.If people
in the world has the misconception,
they are self-absorbed.We should learn how to hit it off with the animals.After all,not only people but also animals live on the earth.
By the way,the girl is so darkling.

I think this story is really written for children,and I’m sure I would enjoy it
if I were still a child.
When I was little(little Chiu),I always dreamed of having magical power.
So I think having a magic finger would be a good idea to little Chiu.
However,for now,that’s a horrible thing.
Whether I can turn the ’’animals’’ back or not,that’s really a horrible thing.
This is true,and everyone should always think of the truth when they grow up.
That’s why adults often tell their children ’’growing up isn’t as fun as you think’’,
and why we should keep trying new things,or we will often feel bored.

After reading the story “Magic Finger”, I think both of the Greeg’s and the leading role make mistakes.
She can’t play such a big joke on her own teacher. Maybe it’s funny,but I don’t think
it’s right.She is still her teacher.
The Greeg’s is really brutal at first.They killed many wild animals like deers.ducks….
There were so many people like them in Taiwan so that we can’t see many beautiful animals in Taiwan now.
If everyone do these things which the Greeg’s do at last,I think the animals which are in danger can be seen again by us.
So let’s prevent the people who still hunts animals from hunting animals!!!

This story is a little boring, but it conveys an important notion --
think highly of every life.
There is no denying that every life
is worth cherishing.People shouldn't kill animals arbitrarily.
Protecting the enviroment we live in is everybody's responsibility.
If we continue destroying the globe
, we will suffer the consequences of our own doing, just like the Gregg family in this story.
By the way, I think the girl shouldn't put the Magic Finger on anyone just because the person made her cross.Oh-I really think the Greggs and Mrs Winter are poor and out of luck. The girl is horrible. I don't think she have the capacity to own the Magic Finger.

After reading this novel ,I think it is a creative story. It give us the sense to protect animals. It seems good for the hunter to hunts animals. But did they think about how the quarry feel？The answer is“ No ”. They only think about themselves. I’m agree with the lead’s mind ─let them exchange the role between the hunter and the hunted. How would it be when it really happen in our world？Of course , we don’t know.

After reading this novel,I realize my childlike innocence has disappeared
Even though never read it , everyone can guess its end
I think it is so odd that makes me feel ridiculous. So I can only imagine that I am still a child. Although it is a little boring,I still have learned a lesson:”Every life is fair,and we should treasure every animals.” Behind our civilization develops, great universe has destroyed seriously. If we don’t treasure it,it will stage a countercharge to us.
I admit I feel pleasant when the ducks hold the guns and prepared to shoot the Greggs.They suffer the consequences of their own doing. But in reality, I don’t hope the ducks can do that thing.It will be so terrible!!
After pondering its connotation,we still can learn a great lesson from this magical story. But, I still think it is not fit for our ages. ^^

After reading the story , I feel this story teaches me a lesson . If a person treats animals poorly , they will revenge eventually. I’m the most impressed by the little girl’s glowing up . From the beginning of the story little girl turns her teacher into a cat just for fun .At the end , she punishes the hunters for justice by turning their arms into wings. I think the author gives us another lesson . To sum up , the pictures and the conversations in this book are suitable for children .

After reading the story, I think that is very fun and full of education.
When I thought the story of summer homework, Day of the Dragon King ,I felt that was boring than The Magic Finger.
“The Magic Finger” tells us that we should take good care of living things in nature.
Killing animals arbitrarily isn’t allowed.
Gregg family will understand it after they became ducks and followed their lives.
I hope everyone can think about other, not only people but also animals.
If we can, we will have a peaceful future in the world.

The value of the animals to us is not only the dishes on the table but also good friends.We are used to killing them just for fun.I think we should find the balance between humans and animals.Why not live in the same space by respecting and realizing the value of them?Maybe,they will replace us absolutely one day.Who knows?

Can human hunt animals just for fun? If we say yes ,animals in the world will gradually disappear.Why people are so selfish ?They always think they can waste natural resources forever.What a dumb thinking!We should follow the natural law and hunt the animals we need.We hadn't kill excess creatures.We should live harmonious with the earth.It's our duty to protect the nature.This is the purpose that the book wants to tell us.But I think few people can learn about that...

This story let me feel so magic.Because of the Magic Finger the
Gregg family
turned humen to birds-these lines made me think that they just got the
retribution.
But in this story,the teacher was poor.The leading role does not
study hard,
so that her teacher called her "a stupid little girl".That was the
leading role's
fault,not Mrs.Winter's.
On the other hand,the Magic Finger made the Gregg family become kind.
Anyway,the Magic Finger has good and bad sides.

I think the ducks in the stories are very kind.If I am the ducks,I won't let the Greggs turn into humans again,I will let them live in the nest forever.Because they were too heartless.And perhaps they won't keep their promise ,brazenly keep shouting animals.
I am glad that the Greggs finally become good people in the end.

10239....I think this novel is the most boring one that I have ever read.
Even worse than 〝Dragon King〞After reading,the idea I only have
is〝what a magical finger〞
When I was a child,I always dreamed
of having magical power,and doing everthing I want...If I have the magic finger,I would use it to punish those who make me sad,just like the story.The girl in the story is kind,she does not use it
in bad ways,and gives a lesson to the Gregg family...What a happy ending！

It's a fun story, but it also has its meaning for us. I think the Magic Finger can alert us to do any worngdoing. In the story, the Magic Finger lets them exchange the status to feel the feeling of each other.
It's power makes the little girl feel incovenient, but therefore she has a big job in all her life-"upholding justice".

The story is absurd, just like every fairy tale. Maybe human is as ridiculous as it. We always do something selfish and foolish, like the hunters in the story shot animals just for fun, enjoying it as a game. People do not realize that every life is equal, and do not respect lives at all.
I think there is one thing wrong in the story. It is impossible for the actual world to be so simple like this story. I don’t think the Gregg family could understand their mistakes after being birds all day long. They just complained about what happened to them instead of introspecting. They didn’t make the promise until being threatened by the ducks. I don’t think this would make them true friends of birds.
(To tell the truth, the story is very very very boring!!)

After reading this novel,it's just like a story that was written for kids whose age are under six.But I like it.Because it is a soft storiette which could be read without pressure.The story also gave us something educational.It gave us that we should not hunt animal free,we should respect life.
But there is one thing that makes me feel bad.I think the should not be severely punished for her mistake.However,the end was a good end.

All the plants and animals in the world are treasure that the God gave us. Cherishing and protecting Nature is our own responsibility. In the story, the leading role put the power of magic finger on the Gregg family, who loved to go hunting. In order to punish them, leading role made them become birds to experience the dangerous and exciting life of birds. At the end of the tale, the Greggs repent. How wonderful the ending! Is it right? Though the magic finger is so miraculous, it is harmful as well. With strong kindness and justice, leading role used it to inflict punishment upon the people who killed the animals. But if she uses it wrongly, what bad thing will happen? No body knows the answer. This is a question that is worth our while to think clearly and carefully.

After reading the novel, I got a enlightenment. People cannot hurt animals just for fun. It sounds very simple, but some people cannot do this. For example, someone maltreats cats or dogs and even kills them. Although some laws prevent animals from hurting and hunting, maltreating animals is still can be read in the newspaper. So we now should protect animals instead of hurting them.

Although this book is one of the most boring stroy I have read.I till be illuminated by it.The girl in stroy is full of sense of justice,she let us know you have power to change the world.Gregg family finally change back because duck's decency,and Gregg family also did what they promised.Those who were penitent should obtained absolution.The all-important thing of this stroy is attend to animal which hurt by people just for fun.
People should identified with the animal.What we need to do is respect and cherish animal positively.

After reading this novel,I think it is more fitness for children whose ages are from seven to eleven.Although this story is boring,it teaches us a lesson that we could not hurt animals just for fun.If people are so selfish,animals in the world will become extinct quickly.Now we should learn to how to protect animals.Anyway,this story has a good ending.

The story means about not to hunt and be careful of the animals with
you . And it is said animals and people are equal . People all over the world always think we're the best.But the trust not . If one day you became the actor or the actress in the story , then you'll know what I mean .

The book not only make us know we can’t trap animals at will but also remind us to considerother’s feeling when doing anything . If we neglect other’s feeling will cause the unfortunate result . The book is really magical . But how can the girl change her teacher into a cat ? It was too much for her . And I feed sad for her .

After reading the novel,I think it is so crazy!!!
Turn humans into duck.Ha-ha!!
It's a crazy idea!
But by that,let us know the feeling of the ducks that are hunted by humans.
I think not only ducks but also other animals doesn't feel well,if themselves be hunted.
So I think the book wants to express that "don't hunt animals!!".
Ha Ha!!~~~

This story is more meaning than ‘The Dragon King’, but I still don't like reading it.
Maybe it is good for children.It can inspire their imagination and tell them:Don't hurt animals,or you will suffer a punishment.
However the turth is that people usually kill animals just for their private interests,even though there are some laws prevent animals from hurting.
So I think this story is just "a story",it can't help those poor animals at all.

The first thing I want to complain is this book is not suitable for our age, even though it does a little interesting.
In a word, the main point of the book is we should learn to treat lives correctly.
But the world is not that simple, people are not so reasonable as the Gregg family. Even they know it’s wrong, they will still do whatever they like.
People are selfish and not willing to change. If we don’t reform ourselves, some day we will be hoist with our own petard.
As for the magic finger and its owner, we can’t say they’re right or not, after all, everyone has his own thought.
But if I can choose to have one, I’d rather not!

The Magic Finger is a typical story telling us to respect animals and treat them kindly. But we also have to think more: not only animals but also the whole nature world need humans’love and protection.
The Gregg family became ducks because they shot ducks. Now imagine this: people cut down trees, then they became trees and are cut down, too. It is horrible! We should think over in opposite situation before doing any decision. In this way, human and the nature world can get along with more peaceful and smoother.

I think it is a fun story for elementary school students. It is not suitable for us to read it.
we should protect our environment around us.Besides we also have to cherish our peculiar animals.If humans keep continuing destroying
nature,it will injure our lives by our own some day.So we must more care about anything around us that given by God.

In my childhood, I always hoped to become a witch having magic power. But now I don't wanted to be it because a witch's life must be very very hard. And having a magic finger is nice, but it's bad when it can't be controled.
Page 46 and 47 had a profound effect on me. We kill so many animals as well as plants. Who allows us? We should love every lives on the world. Otherwise when animals and plants have huge power, they must kill us. It's terrible!
By the way, though the story is a little fun, it is really suitable for "little children".

Honestly,it's pretty hard to be interested in this book.But the incredible ability which were mention in the book are quite attract to me when I was young.In my childhood I always dreamed of hovering in the air with carefree or having the power that can control the whole world like the magic finger.And everyone on the street will look attentively at me with the gasp in admiration.So I can teach a lesson to the man who pissed me of.Those childish thought just existed in the past.As the age increase,I start to notice the details in the novel.I found that the book says"There was no taking it off again."But in the end of the story,the Greggs family was back to no more once again.And the writer even can't explain how did the magic finger happen that let me feel illogically like it just all of a sudden.So I just want to say ,what a action that gives away an ulterior motive story it is.

The book "The Magic Finger" is a fiction story which is about an eight-year-old girl who has magic power. I think this story is unsuited to my taste, because the author makes me feel like I'm a three-year-old kid who still believes in fairy tales. A second reason is because there are only few details which is not enough to convince me. The story is too unbelievable, so I don't think I'll read it again.

Although the magic finger is unbelievable,the meaning of "The Magic Finger" is valuable.
"what happens when the hunter becomes the hunted?"the back cover of "The Magic Finger" asks.What does it mean?It means that we should try to learn that putting yourself in another's place.Feeling for others is important to everyone.
If we always think about the other's feelings,the world will become more wonderful.

After reading this novel,Ithink "the magic finger" is a boring story.
It certainly is specially writing for under twelve-year-old children.
In this story,I have appreciated that we should protect animals,otherwise,
we maybe will suffered for our offence.
In the end,I hope world peace and sorrowful thing never again.

I had a feeling after reading this story. Every life on the world is equal. People shouldn't kill any living thing at random. Think about if we become animals,do we want to be kill? The leading role in the story has a good and honest heart,she used the magic finger to let the Greggs correct their heart and doings. This good story let me realize the value of life.

I guess,that's just my thought,when she uses the Magic Finger,what will happened didn't in her mind.She told family Gregg not to hunt the animals,but they didn't follow it.That made her angry and she used the Magic Finger. I think,no one have the power to hurt a life.Fairly,the family realized they are wrong,and stopped it.I think they didn't have the mean to kill the animals.It's just for fun and can give them happiness.Only stop the doings.Everything will be OK!

After reading so many stories include "THE MAGIC FINGER",I find that there's a wish in almost every heart that likes to imagine.
That wish is having a independent group or a power which isn't control by the society and doesn't have to follow the rules we follow in usual.
For example,magic power is often a topic in story.
The character in such story often has magic to use and to decide how to use it by himself,such as "HARRY POTTER" stories and "THE MAGIC FINGER".
Other stories also have a lot in common.
There's another example.
The hero in "THE DEATH NOTE" can use the special note to kill anyone he wants.
Why we love such the stories?
Because they let our little dream comes ture in mind when reading them.
But problems would never be solved just by imagining.
We don't have the magic finger,so I think the best way to punish and to control the hunter is still the valid law and enforce it!

The magic finger isn't a interesting story to me,Maybe it should be read by little children,not for us who is already adult.But there are some words I don't see before,I still learn something.If I read more book in English or some sentences,I will progress in my English ability.I will
do that more and more!!
