Hi everyone this is my toad opinion hope you enjoy.
The barge woman thinks toad is “A horrid, nasty, crawly Toad...”’ Whereas, Toad believes he is “a very well-known, respected, distinguished Toad!”
I agree with both because Toad is disrespectful to most animals. He stole the same motor car twice and didn’t show any guilt from prison. He also has no respect for the law. So that makes him horrid and nasty.
On the other hand, Toad believes he is very well-known, respected and a distinguished animal but he is actually the opposite of all of these apart from very well known but that is what he thinks.

Thank you for sharing your English work with us. You put forward a good case and clearly make your point with a strong explanation. I love your range of sentence starters in particular 'On the other hand' and how you've used evidence from the text to support your opinion.
Great work Ollie! I wonder if anyone agrees with you and shares the same opinion?
Here is my Wind in the Willows argument.
The barge woman thinks Toad is 'A horrid, nasty, crawly Toad...' . I disagree with this because I don't think that Toad is really meaning to be like that. However, to people who don't really know him that is how he comes across because of his mindless, foolish behaviour, such as, stealing the motorcar and escaping from prison.
Toad believes he is 'a very well-known, respected, distinguished Toad!' . I agree with Toad being very well known although this is only because of his actions which keep getting him into trouble and that is why people know him. I do not think that he is respected but I believe that his friends adore him for the light-hearted Toad that he is.
Hi everybody here is my opinion about Toad,
I think that Toad is rude, a theif and sometimes naughty. But he is also very-well-known. He is he also used to e respected and distinguished. The reason I think this is because he stole a motorcar twice and the bargewoman's horse. But the reason he is very well known is because he has stolen quite a few times.
I think he used to respected and distinguished because he was well mannered and kind untill he got obbsesed by the motorcar and got thrown into prison. Then he stole twice, again a motorcar and then a horse.

After watching the wind in the willows I found out that the book and the movie are very similar. There are only a few differences such as, in the movie Mole is stopped by rabbits after he first leaves his underground home and he barges them out the way whereas in the book Mole isn’t stopped by rabbits and plays in the meadow until he stumbles upon the river and sees Ratty. In my opinion, the characters in the film didn’t look as I pictured them but they did behave in the same way as I imagined them to. I enjoyed both the book and the film but I preferred the film because I got to see the characters moving and I liked the music in the background.

I agree with the barge woman when she calls Toad “A horrid, nasty, crawly Toad!”.
At the beginning of the story, Toad was a funny character because he kept changing his mind and trying new hobbies. This shows that he had no patience or concentration but he wasn't hurting anyone. He was harmless, silly and behaved like a young, crazy child.
However, later on in the story, he turns into a lunatic! He drives very fast and dangerously meaning he almost runs over other characters, like Badger, Rat and Mole. This could kill them and Toad doesn’t seem to care. When he speaks to the barge woman, he calls her “common” and “fat” which is nasty. In the book, it also says that he has a vicious temper. When Toad loses his temper, he tells the woman he is better than her. This makes me think that Toad is a snob which is not a nice or kind thing to be.
In conclusion, I think that Toad is a complicated creature. At first, he seems like fun and is easy-going but when he doesn’t get his own way, he can become quite unfair and bad-tempered.
