With a deep sorrow, he was went away to live with his two aunts. Their names were Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spoker. They were selfish and lazy and cruel and abusive.

On a blazing hot day in the middle of summer, poor James was chopping wood for the the kitchen stove. He thought about all the other children in this world and he found that he has no freedom to play like them. Then suddenly he met an old man and he gave mysterious stones. He instructed to James to do something and he did. In next day, there was a big peach on the highest peach tree branch. It grew bigger and bigger so no one could resist of it. When it becomes as big as a house, it stopped and many people came to see this rare sight.

James couldn't get sleep. At night, he went to the peach and found a hole in the side of the peach. It was not just a hole. It was tunnel where different kinds of human-sized insects were lived. James met them and they welcomed him. After having a night, they found that the peach had rolled a long way from hilltop. Passing the countryside, it floated upon the surface of the water. They reached middle of the sea, and their unexpected destination was New York City!!

As an old man said, James experienced special moments and he became a hero of the story from hopeless child. His curiosity, nimbleness, and knowledge made insects to be inspired by human being. And within the journey I could find out how Roald Dahl was creative fiction writer so he could describe the things in a certain words and figure of speech. Every conversation that James and insects had was easy to read.
