TREASURE ISLAND


Book Review:

 

TREASURE ISLAND(2000)

 

      This week I read TREASURE ISLAND. It was thriller and adventure series. Now I write three quotes and will discuss about them. The first one is: I asked him what he wanted and he said, ‘I’ll take a glass of rum.’(p.05) This sentence means “he” loves rum. The “he” is a seaman and “I” is a boy (Jim Hawkins). Unfortunately later the seaman die by the amounts of drinking and Jim felt sad. From this part I thought Jim have liked him. Second one is: Perhaps every man in the crew was now a pirates!(p.30) When Jim was in barrel, he thought so because he could hear some talking. And this part made me surprising. The last one is: I will never return to Treasure Island, but in my worst dreams I still hear the sharp, high scream of Captain Flint the parrot: ‘Piece of eight! Piece of eight!(p.73) This sentence appear the last of this book. Actually I didn’t know the meaning because this book was little difficult for me, but when I read this, I thought the treasure finished completely.

 

      This book was good for extensive reading. But there are many people in the book, so uneasy to understand. I confused many times. Moreover to read this takes a lot of times because it has many pages. However I recommend this for people who like adventure series and want to read many words.

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
