Summary

Walt Disney was born on December 5 1901. From a young age Walt liked cartoons and was very good at drawing. Walt grew up in a farm, but after a while after he was born his father was not able get a lot of money for crops. Walt didn’t not like school he was bored in all of his classes, so he started Drawing cartoons in class. In 1923 Walt opened his first studio with the help of his brother Roy. The First Film was an Alice Comedy Which was popular between 1923 and 1927.  Walt married his Employee in Lillian Bounds with whom he had two Daughters Diane Marie and Sharon Mae. In 1928 Walter created Mickey Mouse. Throughout these years Walt made more and more successful cartoons like Dumbo.  In 1955 Walt opened the first ever Disney world, which succeeded in a huge way. From 1955 until 1966 Walt made 81 movies and was awarded an academy award. Sadly in 1966 at the age of 65 Walt died because of segregates. Roy took over Disney and kept running just for his brother.  




Genre


This book is a biography because it is telling us the story of Walt Disney’s life and how he became famous. For example on page 3 it mentioned where and when he was born    



Character development  

Disney changed from of the book to the end because when he was small he was a little farm boy and died on of the richest, most successful men. For example on page 11 the book said that his “family never had enough money“.  At the end of the book on page 101 Stewart writes “each year millions of families come with one idea to have fun” at his parks.


Characterization technics 

The author described Disney as a man who loved to entertain people by telling small stories or Anecdotes.  For example on page 1 Stewart told us the story of when he was in school he caught a field mouse and tied a string to it walking through the class showing his new pet. 


Setting

The main setting was in Kansas City Missouri, where he grew up. Then he went to Hollywood and Florida, which is where he built Disney world. Stewart said on page 20 that his company opened and became more successful after world war 1.  


Point of View

This book is told in third person point of view because Disney never wrote a story of his life. This point of view helps develop the main character because it shows us what people thought about him and how he became the man he was at the end. 


Theme  

The primary theme of this book is don’t give up because Disney dropped out of school and still had faith that he was going to be a great success. And I cote on page 18 the author said “Walt had faith in himself”

Reflection

This book is important because it tells us how the Disney movies that we watch all started. The so what is that someone special like that should be known. I liked that the author told us short stories about his childhood. I also liked how there weren’t any boring parts of the book. There wasn’t any anything bad about the book. I see myself as Roy Disney because he helped his brother with his dream and sometimes I help my brother with his homework. I would give this book a 10/10 because it was very good and interesting
