Book Review02-14#Anne Frank


This book is the life of Anne Frank. I guess almost people know about her in my class. She is a very famous Jew.
Anne was born 1929. She had an older sister, Margot. She was older 3 years than Anne. Her family had a terrible experience because they were Jews. In the age, there is Jew discrimination. Anne’s family was not exception. They were caught by the Nazis; they had to stay at a camp. There is very cruel surrounding. Anne and Margot killed by typhoid in the camp. Anne’s father could survive only in the family.
This historical fact is very brutality. Anne was very cute girl and popular in her school I heard. She wrote a diary, she call it “Kitty” It is the famous book “Anne’s Diary” I watched the movie of the book, and I read “Anne’ Diary” We should not do cruel discrimination like this again I think.

Book Review02-13#The hare and the Tortoise


This is very famous story in Japan. The hare’s name was Harry, and the tortoise’s name Tommy. They worked with each. Harry thought Tommy was so slowly, and looked down on a little. They decided take part in the race. Everyone believed the win of Harry. But, Harry slept on the way because he relaxes his guard. Tommy was running when Harry was sleeping. As a result, Tommy won the race.
I like this book because it is very cute illustration! I think we should not do neglect whenever. We should try to be good faith if nobody sees to us. And, we can get successes when we try to do our best I think.

Book Review02-12The fox and the crow


The fox and the crow were knew the wise animal by people in the world. The fox was wiser than the crow in this book. The story was a battle of intelligence.
The starving fox wanted a cheese whom the crow. The fox thought he will get a cheese from the crow. The fox praised the crow’s feather. The crow felt good. The fox said “Can you sing too?” The crow sang, and fell the cheese into the fox’s mouth.
I think the good talk have a bad things. And, the crow is not pretty, and it can not sing beautiful voice. It is important what we know ourselves.

Book Review02-09#The Little Mermaid


This story is very famous in the world. I think there is nothing the sad love story expects “The little mermaid” This story was filmed often.
The little mermaid fell in love. The man was the human and the prince. He fell into the sea by a storm, she helped him. But it is not allowed love. She wished to be a human. She could be it by magic but she can not say anything. It is what she can not say “I love you” to the prince. She could not be the prince’s girl. This book’s illustration is very beautiful. I could feel I was in the sea.
I think the prince is fool. I think he should remember a girl which helped his life. I know this is the original story, but I like the same name movie of Disney. It was happy ending.

Book Review02-08#The Jumping Frog


This is the first separate volume of Mark Twain. It was published 1867. He was writer of newspaper, he wrote funny short stories for newspaper.
This book has 3 chapters. There are “The celebrated jumping frog of Calaveras County”, “curing a cold”, and “Mrs. McWilliams and the lightning”. And there are many questions about each story.
This book is shape of problem novel. I did not like this style. I read this book for uncomfortable because there are questions between story to story.

Book Review02-07#Napoleon


This book is history of Napoleon.
He was French, and he was born in Corsica. He was a serviceperson and politician. He was very strong man; he defeated Europe except England after evolution of France. But he could rule over Europe only for 95 days.
I think Napoleon was very grate parson. I can’t know what his life is; I guess he felt fear always. He was killed by stomach cancer, but according to another theory, he was killed by someone. I want to research his history more when I read this book. But this book is difficult for me a little.

I did squabble with my boyfriend. Because of I was too selfish. I do not like myself when I say ill to somebody. But he was not angry. He heard me silently. He knew why I got nervous. He knew the best step to calm me down. He is younger than me but I can feel he is like my older brother when I am in some troubles. Surely, I made peace with him already!

Book Review02-06#Falk Tales from around the World 3


This book has 6 stories. There are The Bremen Town Musicians, Aladdin, The emperor’s new Clothes, Shakuntala, The Kangaroo and the Wombat, George and the Dragon in this book.
The Bremen Town Musicians was very funny story because 4 animals (donkey, dog, cat, and rooster) could not arrive at Bremen finally. And, they wanted to be musicians but they did not do music at last scene. It was written by Grimm bros.
Aladdin is one of the stories of Arabian Nights. I read and wrote a review on my blog already, I have not I should write about this story more.
The emperor’s new Clothes show abilities of self-decision I think. The king did fault because he could not decision himself.
Shakuntala is the story of India. This is like “Little mermaid” by Andersen a little. This is love story.
The Kangaroo and the Wombat is a folk story of Aborigine. This story showed because of shape of Kangaroo and Wombat. It is like Ant and grasshopper.
George and the Dragon is brave story in Roman. It is adventure of George, princess and a dragon. Finally, the dragon was killed by people. I think this story is like “Yamatano orochi” in Japan.

Pain...

I want to go to an orthopedic hospital because I feel pain at my waist. To tell the truth, I have the pain from 2 years ago. Maybe, I can think 2 causes about it. First, I play the contrabass. The contrabass is very big. I feel the strong load to my waist when I play it. Second, I have part time job. I must stand during about 5 hours. I think it is bad for my waist too.
I will go to an orthopedic hospital when I have enough time.

Book Review02-05#Adventures of Huckleberry Finn


This is very famous novel in the world. I have watched the movie in class of the history of American literatures. This novel was written by Mark Twain. He wrote the short stories for newspaper.
This story is very exciting, but I feel sad a little because of Jim. Jim is huckleberry’s friend. He is very kind and he is black person. He was in trouble because of it. There were 2 bad tricksters in the story; I like their characters because they were fool a little.
This story was written about discrimination of black people. Surely, Huckleberry, Tom, and Jim’s adventure was very fun but I can not stop to think about discrimination of black people.

Book Review02-04#Falk Tales from around the World 2


There are 5 stories, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the Beanstalk, The White Serpent, The Ugly Duckling, and Perseus and Medusa in this book. I did not know The White Serpent still I read it.
Little Red Riding Hood is very famous fairy tale by Grimm bros. I think this story is like “a wolf and 7 young goats” In Little Red Ridding Hood, a wolf was cut his belly, and put stones into his stomach by a hunter. In A Wolf and 7 Young Goats, it is same. I think it is very unrealistic and it is very terrifying thing.
Jack and the Beanstalk is very famous too. But I don’t like this story because it is a story of pilferage. Jack was a thief only. The wife of ogre was good monster, but Jack killed her husband. Moreover, he stole many treasures. I don’t like this story.
I did not know The White Serpent before I read this book. This story was red in China. This story is strange a little. A beautiful man married with a beautiful woman. One day, a monk said “Your wife is not human. She is a monster of serpent! Try to drink alcohol your wife, you will know the fact!” A man was not believed but it was truth. The White Serpent killed her husband, but she was sad when returned to shape of woman. She went to get a mushroom of revive. There is a mushroom, but an old man stopped her. He was a god of longevity. She battled with him, she want to revive her husband. The god was moved her strong love, he allowed to take the mushroom. A man was revived by his wife. To tell the truth, she is not White Serpent. Her Obi(like a belt) was it. They had a boy, the family lived happily.
I like The Ugly Duckling. This story show “Great talents mature late” I think. But I like ducks better than swans because ducks is cute. I like to see the parade of ducks.
Perseus and Medusa is one of the Greek myths. Perseus was very bravery man. He battled with Medusa. Medusa was a monster. Perseus is very famous. His mother was caught by the bad king; He battled with monsters for his mother. I knew this story because I read a book of Greek myth when I was little child. I like the Greek myth because the stories have many dreams.
