The Mystery of the Hanging Garden of Babylon丨Critical Literacy

Hi everyone! Welcome to another post, today we did another reflection session. This time I decided to write about a book I have recently read, it is called 'The Mystery of the Hanging Garden of Babylon'. 

Title: The Mystery of the Hanging Garden of Babylon 

The text was a book about how archaeologists found the Hanging Garden of Babylon. It gave us an insight into the process of finding one of the seven wonders of the world. It wrote about the history of the hanging garden, why it was so hard to find and some information about the architecture of the garden. 

Text Type: Book

Text Creator: Stephanie Dalley 

Text Purpose: To be read and inform.

What knowledge does the reader need to bring to this text in order to understand it? 

In the book, The Mystery of the Hanging Garden of Babylon by Stephanie Dalley, knowledge of the Hanging Garden of Babylon is needed. This is something that is needed because the book is on the subject of the hanging garden. The book discusses how the hanging garden was discovered so it is mandatory to know a few things about the hanging garden so that the reader can fully understand the text that is being written. The following sentences above give us evidence that we need to know about the hanging garden to be able to fully understand the book and what is written in it.
