The Piano Man

 Book Review:      Today I finished reading " The Piano Man ". There are some points that I can't predict, so to continue reading this book was interesting for me. Now I'll quote three phrases. The first one is:  The man closed his eyes and turned his face to the wall. (p. 9) He (The man) said nothing in the first half part. I have thought he can't understand and speak English. The second one is: He stopped playing, and stared at the girl by the door. (p. 34) May be he was confused because he hit his head before, but the girl is the woman he wanted to see.

DR JEKYLL AND MR HYDE

 Book Review:      This week I read "DR JEKYLL AND MR HYDE". This book has about 1,200 words, so to read this was little hard for me. Now let me introduce three quotes. The first one is:  'Have you ever noticed that place?' (p. 2, l. 17) "That place" means one building. It's a kind of important places in this book.  Enfield who is a man started talking about strange story about the building. The second one is:  His whole body shook and jumped and he almost fell.

The last one is:  One moment I was a famous and popular doctor, the next I was a violent criminal who was wanted for murder. (p. 64, l. 27)  This scene shows how horrible the medicine is. Without the medicine and conscious, his body have changed. In addition, unfortunately his character also change. He is actually kind doctor but become violent
