Anna and the Fighter

Now Anna was sure. Sam was a bad man, and dangerous too. He was a criminal. Anna must be careful. She must get away from him quickly. (p, 6) It was Anna's first journey away from home. Her father told her "Don't talk to any strangers," so she didn't say anything when a man whose name was Sam spoke to her on the train. He was very big and he had a ugly face. For a while, she saw a newspaper on the Sam's seat. There was a Sam's photograph on the back page. Above the photograph was a headline: This man is a dangerous fighte. T hen she thought Sam was a criminal. If you read this book you find it was a serious misunderstanding! Actually, Sam is a very very good man and the scar on his face which made him ugly resulted from his kindness. I became quite sad when I read the Sam's line, " You're different now. You didn't talk to me before ." (p, 27) Although Anna had went past her destination and gotten lost, she finally could reach the

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

"Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fai rest of us all?" (p, 24) Queen who is Snow Whitw's stepmother is beautiful and she asks the magic mirror wheter she is the most beautiful woman in the world. One day, the mirror replied Snow White is the most, so she got angry and planed to kill Snow White. Snow White was loved by evryone and fortunately all Queen's plot ended in failure. As you know Snow White will get marry with a prince, but the end was quite different from what I had thought. I had thought Snow White could come back to life thanks to the prince's kiss. That's why I was surprised to read this book. After my finish reading I thought envy is a scary feeling. If Queen had confidence in her looks without the mirror's admission, she would not try to kill Snow White. As is often the case with women, we tend to be worry about our appearance. Now there are various cosmetic surgery, many kind of cosmes and diet foods  to satisfy with women's

Beauty and the beast

     "Poor Beast," said Beauty, her heart filling with pity. "I'll stay with you, if you like." (p, 31)      I think this is one of the most popular story in the world. There are many materials based on the story such as books, movies, and animations, so most of you know this. However I didn't know the story's detail because I haven't read or seen them. After my first reading this book, I thought Beauty is very kind girl. She loved her father and sisters although the sisters are mean to her. Furthermore she is kind to the Beast. If I ware her, I couldn't be kind to the person who were mean to me and nonhuman beings like the Beast. The most memorable scene is last. It is the scene that the spell was broken by Beauty's love. Most Disney princeses broke spells by their kiss, but the princes in this book was different. If you haven't seen "Beauty and the beast" yet, please read this book. And if you love disney princeses, please

The Clumsy Crocodile

   Then Cassy was given a medal. It was the proudest moment of her life. She was a hero.(p, 60) Cassy is a clumsy crocodile. She got a new job at big department store. She worked there very hard, but she mistook some times. The department's owner scolded her, so she felt depressed. One day, two thieves came to the department to steal a expensive jewel. She met the thieves by chance, and she caught them thanks to her regular mistake. The department's owner greatly appreciated her work and held a party to give her a medal. This was the proudest moment of her life.  Although Cassy is clumsy and mistake some times, I like her because she always tries to do her best. Of course mistaking is not good, but I think it will be meaningful if we change our mind and action. I often mistake at my part time job like her, and then I try not to d same mistake any more.

The story of the castle

      But the fun couldn't last. First, the cannon was invented. It was soon strong enough to blast holes in the biggest castle. Then lords stopped fighting each other and banded together to fight other countries. Finally, lords and ladies decided they didn't want to live in cold, dark, noisy castles. They wanted grand homes instead.      So, they stopped building castles altogether. Castles had their stones stolen for new buildings, or were simply left to collapse. Hundreds of years went by...      ... until today, when very few castles are lived in at all. Some have completely disappeared. But you don't have to look for to find a ruin, just waiting to be explored. (p, 61,62, 63)           This book tells us the history of castles in Europe, for example why they were built, how they were developed and why they were vanished. In many countries, castles had been built in the past. There are some old castles in Japan. If the country is different, so the way of building c
