Colonial House DVD: Episode 5 Summary: "I watched the second disc of Colonial House. It started off with the colony finding food. They were very short on food and they had rotten meat because they didn't eat it when they were supposed to. One of the projects they had to do was build another house since the new family arrived and they needed extra housing. They finished the house in this episode. The governor's daughter back in Texas where they live in real life was in the hospital so the governor's family has left for good. Also one of the black freeman left because he felt he didn't belong in the colony as a black man, that he would have been a slave in the 17th century. The colony needed a new governor, so during the Sunday Sabbath the governor announced that the lay preacher would become the governor for the last month."

Silent Reading: The Phantom Tollbooth, Chapter 15 "This Way to Infinity" summary: The Mathemagician invited Milo and his friends into his castle to have some food and they were starving because they hadn't eaten since Dictionopolis. The Mathemagician offered Milo some subtraction stew. He had nine bowls of it and he was hungrier than when he started! That's the magic of subtraction stew. The Mathemagician made Milo and his friends answer math questions in order to get into the new rooms. His magic staff, which was actually a big pencil, wrote on a large paper in a big room of fractions. Tok and the Humbug didn't answer any of the questions right but Milo got them all right! Milo wanted to see the biggest number possible, which is infinity. The Mathemagician led the way!"

Chapter 16 "A Very dirty Bird" summary: Milo by himself headed up a flight of stairs to find infinity. He started out very fast and he got slower and slower until he had to stop completely. As soon as he stopped half of a little boy his age appeared. His name was Point 58. Point 58 suggested that he go back down the stairs because he can never reach infinity because it's impossible to get to. He met his friends and the Mathemagician downstairs and right then he asked the Mathemagician for his permission to go on the quest for Rhyme and Reason and gave Milo a mini-version of his magic staff and sent them off to the Mountains of Ignorance. They went a little ways and then stopped to find a very raggedy, old, huge bird with only one eye. They knew demons were foretold to be all through the mountains and this was one of them! This bird was called the Word Snatcher. He didn't let you finish your sentence and he changed it to make it sound like what you actually said. They escaped from them and found a handsome man laying by a tree who had no face at all. He asked Milo and his friends to do a few favors for him. Those favors were really hard to do like use tiny tweezers to move sand from one pile to another pile. That was Milo's favor. They did the favors hours after hours. Milo used his magic staff to find out how long it would take to complete the tasks—it would take them over eight-hundred years! They finally left the man and they found another demon who gave bad advice. He disappeared and Milo, Tok, and the Humbug escaped only to find themselves in the hand of another giant demon! He led them up to the way to the castle in the air!"
