The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane


             Edward Tulane is a very fancy rabbit made of china. Edward dresses in fine silk clothing. He normally wears a suit and silk pajamas, but he's always carrying his pocket watch. Edward Tulane is very selfish and does not know the meaning of love or what it feels like, but when he is in a tight situation, he is full of fear. Edward Tulane does not talk, but thinks because he is but a china rabbit. Edward, at the moment, is feeling depressed, because he keeps on traveling farther away from each of his owners and never see them again.

             Edward doesn't really interact with others, but has a strong feeling towards them. For example, He loves Bull's singing and has a new fondness of Bull's dog. Every time Edward is possessed by a new owner, they switch his gender no matter what he wears and renames him. Everyone loves him and treats him like a human being. Even the author describes him as a rabbit who seems almost alive, not physically, but mentally. I adore Edward Tulane, even though he can be very bitter at times. He just seems like the ideal doll EVERYONE wants, even me!        
   
              In the book "The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane ", by Kate DiCamillo, The plot of the story is very sad but full of adventures. The plot of the story is for Edward Tulane to find his beloved owner Abilene. I believe that Edward Tulane has lots of voice. When he was a accidentally dropped into the ocean from a ship, he sank down with thoughts like " I need that pocket watch", showing he did not care he was sinking into the dark cold ocean . He then had a voice nonequivalent to the voice he had before. He was scared. He needed help, he did not want to be alone. " Help, Help!" he was screaming, he could not move, he could not talk, he just drifted onward until he reached ashore.


              Edward Tulane has different types of voice, but his most popular voice is either sarcasm or sadness. I like Edward Tulanes sarcasm voice because it adds a little humor to it. I can relate Edward to Steven from the book Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie because  they both speak or think in a sarcastic yet humorous way. One of Edwards voice's I dislike the most is the sad voice. I dislike it the most because all of his thoughts are so negative it makes me want to shout, " HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT!" In conclusion, Edward Tulane possesses lots of voice.
