book 14

Dairy of Anne Frank is a really impressive to me. I read it for the first time when I was 13 years old and I tried to read it in English this time.
People all over the world are able to see what life as a persecuted Jew was like during World War II; thus gaining an appreciation for the sacrifices people made in the struggle to stay alive. Anne Frank did not become famous until after her death in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp and after the liberation of all concentration camps. Otto Frank, the only surviving member of the people hiding in the Secret Annex, later had Anne's dairy published.

We do have to hope world peace. I would like everyone to read this.

book 13


The title is "In Cold Blood".

This is so disturbing book, but interesting one, I think.
The author, Truman Capote wrote “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”.
Murders of Herbert Clutter, a wealthy farmer from Holcomb, Kansas; his wife, Bonnie; his 16-year-old daughter, Nancy; and his 15-year-old son, Kenyon, and the aftermath. Capote said that he had created a new type of book, the non-fiction novel, by applying traditional literary conventions to crime reporting.

book 12


Moby-Dick is a novel by Herman Melville in 1851. The novel describes the voyage of the whaling ship Pequod, led by Captain Ahab, who leads his crew on a hunt for the whale Moby-Dick. The language is highly symbolic and many themes run throughout the work. The narrator's reflections, along with complex descriptions of the grueling work of whaling and personalities of his shipmates, are woven into a profound meditation on society, nature, and the human struggle for meaning, happiness, and salvation. Moby-Dick is often considered the epitome of American Romanticism.
I watched this film at my literature class. It was great.

book 11




The title is "Breakfast at Tiffany's".
This is very famous name of bland.
It's a very romantic love story about two people who find happiness in the crazy, mixed-up world we live in.
George Peppard plays Paul Varjak, a writer who has to earn his living through a wealthy socialite, Patricia Neal, as her "kept" man. Audrey, who plays Holly Golightly, is a gold-digging call girl, who is looking for the right rich man to marry. Though you would think these two would be unflattering characters, they are both very charming and put on phony personas (especially in Holly's case) in order to survive.
I want to wacth film, too!

This book is about Walt Disney.

The corporation he co-founded, now known as The Walt Disney Company, today has annual revenues of approximately U.S. $30 billion.
Actually, he did many failures again and again but he never gave up.

I love Disney because they give us dreams, fantasies, hopes and inspirations.

book 9


The title is " the king of Narnia".

Aslan the "Great Lion" is the main character in The Chronicles of Narnia a series of seven fantasy novels for children written by C. S. Lewis. He appears in all seven books of the series. The word aslan is Turkish for "lion" and is used as a title for Ottoman/Seljukid and Persian Empire(Turkic) rulers. The figure of Aslan may have been suggested by a mysterious lion which suddenly appears and disappears at key moments in the novel The Place of the Lion.

book 7




The title is beauty and the beast".
Beauty has never liked her nickname. She is thin and awkward; it is her two sisters who are the beautiful ones. But what she lacks in looks, she can perhaps make up for in courage.
When her father comes home with the tale of an enchanted castle in the forest and the terrible promise he had to make to the Beast who lives there, Beauty knows she must go to the castle, a prisoner of her own free will. Her father protests that he will not let her go, but she answers, "Cannot a Beast be tamed?"
Beauty is a great heroine -- brainy, kind, wry-humored, brave and strong, I think.
For anyone who loves the fairy tale, I highly recommend this book and I firmly believe that it should be on every young girl's reading list.

The title is “little woman”. I had to read this book at my American literature class. Little Women is a novel by Louisa May Alcott published on september 30,1868, concerning the lives and loves of four sisters growing up during the American Civil War.

I thought what “family” and “love” are.
...Yes, these are really precious for us.

book 5


The title is "my fair lady".

Gloriously witty adaptation of the Broadway musical about Professor Henry Higgins, who takes a bet from Colonel Pickering that he can transform unrefined, dirty Cockney flower girl Eliza Doolittle into a lady, and fool everyone into thinking she really is one, too! He does, and thus young aristocrat Freddy Eynsford-Hill falls madly in love with her. But when Higgins takes all the credit and forgets to acknowledge her efforts, Eliza angrily leaves him for Freddy, and suddenly Higgins realizes he's grown accustomed to her face and can't really live without it.
