Book Review:

The Black Tulip(2005)


              This week I read The Black Tulip. This book has 9567words and 63pages, but I could read it   smoothly because the contents was interesting and less of difficult words. Now I will write three quotes which I chose and will discuss about them.

      The first one is “One morning, he heard a girl’s voice outside his cell.”(p.35) “He” means Cornelius Van Baerle and the voice was Rosa’s. Cornelius Van Baerle loves Rosa and she loves him. But because of the place, they couldn’t meet for a long time. So I was happy when I read this sentences, and found they could meet.

     The second one is “‘And now the bud is...BLACK!’”(p.47)This is the phrase of Rosa’s. She grow a seed for him because he is in cell. In the story black tulip is the important because if some one grow it, she(he) can get 100000guiders. Cornelius Van Baerle made the seed. but actually he wasn’t interested in guiders because he was rich. He made it because he loves tulips. So the phrase made him happy and exiting. I also became exciting because I wanted the seed to be a black tulip soon.
 
       The last one is  “A few days later, Cornelius and Rosa got married.”(p.63) Their tulip was stolen by a man and they were disappointed but thanks to Rosa’s efforts they were admitted as a grower of the tulip. And after that they’re got married. I like the ending but I thought the man who stole the tulip was pity. Because he was poor and wanted to guiders. So I wanted Cornelius to give him it.

      This book was interesting for me. I want everyone to read this. This one has some pictures and easy to understand. If you find this book, please try to reading.

Slam Dunk for Mark

" 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.

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
