Book Review:

 

THE WITCHES OF PENDLE (2000)

 

This week I read THE WITCH OF PENDLE. This book is a strange story. I liked this story because it made me exciting. I wrote down three quotes and will discuss them. The first one is: ‘Twenty years ago, I met the Devil,’ Heroine’s grand mother told this phrase. Actually except the heroine(Jennet Device) her family was all witches. When I read this phrase first, I was surprised. The second is: “Roger Nowell looked at me with his warm brown eyes.” He helped Device from bad house. And gradually she became happy. The last is: “I can never be free of them.” Them means her family. After Roger Nowell died, she was locked in prison nevertheless she is not a witch. I was sad when I read the last. But on the whole this book was interesting for me.

 

      I want to recommend this book. There are two reasons. First, this story is real and interesting to read. Second, there are many words, but pictures, too. So I think easy to read. Last ten pages are glossary and activities, it means actually reading part is less. We can read many words at less times.

" I want to be here. You'll be well soon. You're very important to me. And basketball is only a game. " This phrase is a Mark's. He is good at playing basketball ,and he could go to the final games tomorrow afternoon. But his grandmother was sick, so he decided to absent the game. In the school, his friends was very excited. Because he was sure Mark come to today's game ,and their school get a winning cup. Therefore after they heard Mark will absent the game, Mark's friends and his girlfriend irritated with Mark. First I thought Mark is good boy and he is smart. But now I think he had to go to the match and play. Because not only his friends but also a teacher and his grandma looked forward to his success.

GOODBYE MR HOLLYWOOD

 Book Review:      Today I read GOODBYE MR HOLLYWOOD . Firstly I had thought this book is mystery. However it's not mystery story like Holmes but it contained accidents or questions.        There was a man who is Nick. He is a travel writer and have come Whistler, in Canada for his working. At a cafe in the village he met a pretty lady. He is called Mr. Hollywood from her because Nick likes movies. It's not strange thing but actually the name was beginning of all incidents.       Nick didn't know about the lady, but felt exciting because she was beautiful. After she left the cafe, he finished drinking his coffee and left there. However from the day he was chased from someone. Moreover when Nick was walking in the forest someone tried to kill him with a gun. Nick went to a police, but the officer didn't help him so much. I thought the officer isn't kind and not suit for police men.      To be safe he met the lady again because he has thought she knows something about

'Who, Sir? Me, Sir?'

 Book Review:      Today I finished reading a book of 'Who, Sir? Me, Sir?' This was little long and high level for me, so there are some points that I couldn't understand. However the story was interesting.     There was a teacher who wants his class to have ambition, and to do great things in life. Therefore he enters them for a sporting competition against the rich students of Greycoats School. The team that he has chosen for the competition think the teacher has gone crazy. 'Who, Sir? Me, Sir?' says little boy who is called Hoomey, his eyes round with horror. 'We'll never beat Greycoats,'  the others cry. 'Never in a million years!'      However you don't know what you can do until you try...      If you know the result of the competition, I recommend to read this book. As for me the result made me surprising because I couldn't guess the troubles. About this book OBW3 YL  3.2 Pages  57 Words count  10296 Thank you
