Robinson Crusoe

-
This week I read “Robinson Crusoe”. It's a story about ab adventurer-like man who wrecked in the sea and lived alone on a deserted island for 28 years. I like this story because it makes me  think that people can live while learning even in difficult situations
I wrote down three quotes and will discuss them.

 The first one is, “Perhaps, one day, someone will help me when I need it". said by kind captain. He didn't want rewords for his help at all. I think it's nice to have someone like him who is kind to people and doesn't ask for a reward. I want to do so.

 The second one is “I was a rich man now, but what use was money to me? I could not buy anything with it”.After reading this article, I remember that money, which is very valuable to me, is completely worthless on an uninhabited island. I realized that what is valuable depends on the person and the case. 

 I want to recommend this book. There are two reasons. 


















































The first reason is that in this story, it is easy to understand how a man survived on a desert island and how he felt. To read his way to live is very interesting.



The second reason is this story makes me feel that I could do anything. If I encounter scary scene, I want to fight them.

London by JOHN ESCOTT

 This week I read London by John Escott. It describes the history of London, the famous building, and the royal family.  As I read on, I wanted to go to London. Here are some things that interest me. The first is the Great Fire of London. A pandemic in London in 1665 killed more than 100,000 people. The following year, in 1666, the Great Fire of London broke out. At that time, most of the houses were made of wood, so the city was burned down. The fire did not go out for four days. Most of the old buildings were destroyed. I didn't know this big incident. London, which is now one of the most famous cities in the world, suffered such damage about 350 years ago. I think it was difficult to build the current magnificent buildings and cityscape from there.  Next is the national portrait gallery. It's located in St Martin, where you can see pictures of famous people. There are pictures of world-famous figures such as kings, queens, and William Shakespeare. I want to see it. I will be

The Tickets

Title:The Tickets  FRL 16pages  This is the story about misunderstanding.  Jimmy who sees Jenny's ticket in Kerry's purse gets angry with Kerry.    Jimmy says, "But you're not a good friend"(p. 14)    Kerry was going to return the ticket to Jenny.  Jimmy suspected Kerry,and doubted too.  I think it is not good to doubt without knowing anything.  I believe it is important to trust each other in order to keep a good relationship.

ONE-WAY TICKET SHORT STORIES by Jennifer Bassett

      This week I read "One-Way Ticket" by Jennifer Bassett.   There are several short stories in this book, and I will introduce one of them.  "The Girl with Green Eyes" describes what passengers talk about on the train.   There were seven people in the carriage. There was the man in the brown hat; the young man and his wife, Julie; a mother and two children; and a tall dark man in an expensive suit.  There are many expressions about the eyes in this story. The conversations of the passengers were normal and not particularly interesting, but the explanation of the eyes made it interesting to see what they were thinking. I quote one sentence. These are the words that the mothers of the children in this story said. ‘People don’t always need words, young man,’ This word was very impressive. I recommend this book. The reason is that different readers enjoy this story differently. I enjoyed the depiction of the eyes, but others may enjoy their conversation. Please read
