Scene in Swindle
S. Wendall's mansion, 531 Park Avenue Extension (the place of the theft.) The mansion is taller than it is wide. It has a high cathedral ceiling and a side door. The back of the house has no openings. There is also no windows but a huge skylight. Pretty fancy place for a crime to be taking place if you ask me.
Swindle By Gordon Korman (Summary)
Swindle is a very interesting and involved book. Swindle got its name by a stingy antique store owner, S. Wendall. Griffin is the man with the plan. Griffin and his best friend, Ben have been on adventures from the soon-to-be demolished old Rockford house to S. Wendall's mansion, 531 Park Avenue Extension, where they get into a bunch of trouble. That trouble includes a 1920 Babe Ruth card, a 20 foot extension ladder, and a doberman guard. If you want to find out what happens next, read the book!
What I Think
On January 16, 2012 while in a car I said to myself, and I quote," Maybe you are the movie." The meaning to my madness is that almost everyone idolizes an actor or actress and I think they should be idolizing modern day heros instead. I think it's important to idolize someone because it shows who you are but never take it overboard. I think we're living the movie, as in, we're "modern day adventurers" and we make amazing things no one would ever expect happen!
