The island of Dr Moreau


THE PLOT
  • While a ship was sailing in the South Pacific, it went down and the only passenger that was rescued was Edward Prendick. A passenger on another ship took care of him while they were on board. He was a short man with a hairy neck and long black hair; his name was Montgomery. Montgomery was  a famous biologist who had abandoned urban life because other scientists didn't agree with his theory and experiments.

  • One day the captain of the ship sent Dr Moreau and Montgomery to an island. Prendick lived in a small house but he was not allowed to go to Moreau's laboratory. One night, while Prendick was sleeping, he heard a noise. He quickly went out and saw a puma running in the forest... He was hurt by it. Montgomery and Moreau told Prendick that they turned animals into humans! Some of them had to be killed because they were very dangerous. Some days later Prendick and Montgomery killed a lot of animals that ate meat.

  • One day Prendick and Montgomery gave a party where some animal men and Moreau were invited. At the end of it some meat eaters attacked them and killed them all. Prendick was left alone with the meat eaters. A few months later some sailors from the ship Ipecacuancha arrived. They wanted to see if Montgomery and Moreau were still alive .....  
                                                

                                                     THE MAIN CHARACTERS  
               Montgomery
                    He is short. 
                    He has long black hair and a hairy neck.

                 Prendick    
                                                           
                 He is tall.           
                 He has short curly blond hair.

                               THE MOST IMPORTANT EVENT

                     
                I think that the most important event of the story is when Prendick 
                discovers that the strange creatures are animals. In my opinion,
                this part is the most important

               because from this point on the plot becomes more interesting.

                                                             MY OPINION 

               I recommend this book to my classmates because I know that they
               will enjoy it!
