Book Review 1-12"Huckleberry Finn"

story


Who wants to live in a house, wear clean clothes, be good, and go to school every day? Not young Huckleberry Finn, that's for sure.So Huck runs away, and is soon floating down the great Mississippi River on a raft. With him is Jim, a black slave who is also running away. But life is not always easy for the two friends.And there is 300 dollar waiting for anyone who catches poor Jim...

I didn't know about the discrimination for African American in detail till I read this book. This story itself is filled with freedom and all-American, but when I read from an aspect to discrimination, my way of feeling changes. It's very terrible!! I can't believe it...but it was truth↓↓
I think this story is "the sciety of adult through child's eyes"

Fukuoka

On July 10th, we went to yahoo-dome to watch softbank vs rakuten game.
This was my first watch of baseball game. It was very exciting!!
We fly balloons on the bottom of the seventh inning. Until now, I had watched it on only TV , but I was able to really experience it at that point. I was very happy☆ softbank had lost, but I was able to enjoy watching my first watch of baseball game.

After finished the game, we went to Fukuoka tower. We couldn't see a night view because it was too late to go up the observatory, but it was beautiful sufficiently because of a lot of illuminations☆ we bought one mango ice cream and sat on the bench near the seaside. There was a chapel lighted up near us and it was very romantic.♪

I want to go there again☆

fireworks

I went to Mitsui Green Land to watch fireworks with my boy friend on July 15th.
We watched them at car park near the Mitsui Green Land because the amusement park has too much people!! (;_;)
9000 fireworks rise in only 30 minutes. It was very beautiful☆☆
I liked pink fireworks♪ daring liked the willow fireworks.
It was a nice date☆☆

Book Review 1-11 "Alice's Adventure in Wonderland"

story

There, on top of the mushroom, was a large caterpillar, smoking a pipe. After a while the Caterpillar took the pipe out of its mouth and said to Alice in a slow, sleepy voice, 'who are you?'

What strange things happen when Alice falls down the rabbit-hole and into Wonderland! She has conversations with the Caterpillar and the Cheshire Cat, goes to the Mad Hatter's tea party, plays croquet with the King and Queen of Hearts...

This book is one of my favorite stories. I watched in a DVD too.
especially, I like Cheshire Cat☆ He disappears and shows his body...it's very unique! I feel like having come back in childhood when I read this book. Perhaps I think there is not the person who doesn't know this story, but if there is the person who doesn't know it, please read this.

Book Review 1-10 "Titanic"

story

The Titanic was the most famous ship in history. But what really happened to it on that terrible April night in the North Atlantic? Why did it hit an iceberg? Why did it sink? Why did more than one thousand people die? This book looks at the true story - and gives some of the answers.

I like Titanic story. It's very sad story...

I have known this story for the first time is when I had watched the movie "Titanic". Of course, this movie's sad love story isn't true. However, it was enough to tell us that sad accident.

I cried when I read this book. It was true accident, not fiction. Nobody may have died if there was a boat for the number of people. Nobody may have died if captain did not give too much speed. Nobody may have died if other ship's operator noticed a rescue signal early... Nobody was listening to Titanic help. That terrible accident has happened in heap of the misfortune.

There are words tightening my heart very much. It is the words that Millvina Dean who became the model of Rose said.

"I walked there, when I was a girl..."

She said so looking the ship which sank into the bottom of the sea...
I thought movie "Titanic" drawing a fact faithfully.
If you haven't watched the movie, do watch!

Book Review 1-9 "DEAD MAN'S ISLAND"

story

Mr Ross lives on an island where no visitors come. He stops people from taking photographs of him. He is young and rich, but he looks sad. And is one room in his house which is always locked.
Carol Sanders and her mother come to the island to work for Mr Ross. Carol soon decides that there is something very strange about Mr Ross. Where did he get his money from? How can a young man buy an island? So she watches, and she listens - and one night she learns what is behind the locked door.

It was interesting! At first, I thought Mr Ross is a ghost because of it's title "dead man's island".
But really, he is Jake Rosso whom everyone thought he had died. He caused a hit-and-run accident, so he announced the death of himself to the public and changed own name, bought an island to hide, avoid people.
While read this book, I felt I'm in this story actually. It's very fantastic!!
If you have not read this book, please read☆ I recommend this book.

Book Review 1-8 "SHERLOCK HOLMES short stories"

story

Sherlock Holmes is the greatest detective of them all. He sits in his room, and smokes his pipe. He listens, and watches, and thinks. He listens to the steps coming up the stairs; he watches the door opening – and he knows what question the stranger will ask.
In these three of his best stories, Holmes has three visitors to the famous flat in Baker Street – visitors who bring their troubles to the only man in the world who can help him.
I read Sherlock Holmes for the first time. It was very fun! I thought I wish I could be a detective like him. (-u-)
