BR11:Within High Fences

There was nothing different about that night. (p.5)

 

Nancy worked at the center for asylum seekers and she lived with her boyfriend, Tom. But she didn't love him because he tried to control her. At that time, at the center she met George, who was an asylum seeker but was kind. Nancy and George liked each other, so Nancy left Tom. In the end of the story, Nancy and George became happy. I thought that Tom was bad man because he gave Nancy a lot of good things, foe example clothes, shoes and jewellry, but he tried to control her and he didn't like her work. And I thought that Nancy is a kind woman because she trusted George didn't stole her things.  After I read this book, I thoght taht both Nancy and George will have a good relationship.

BR10: Little Women

  The place was a small town in Massachusetts, North America. It was a cold evening in December 1862. (p.8) 

 Four sisters lived with their mother, but their father was away. The familiy was poor, but they helped each other and they were kind to other people. Mr. Laurence was a neighbour of the family and a rich and kind man and he lived with his grandson, Laurie. One day, The four sisters and Laurie bacame friends. Since then the rich man helped the poor family, and they became a good relationship. I thought that the four sisters and their mother were very lucky because the rich man and his grandson always helped them when they were in trouble. And also I thought it was good for the family to see their father on the Christmas day.

BR9: A Tale of Two Cities

It was the year 1775. A coach was going from London to Dover. (p.8)



This story was a time of revolution in France. Some aristcrats gorverned France at that time. But many poor people wanted to change the government because they didn't have enough food or money. So, they did revolution. When the revolution occured, all aristocrats in Frace were taken and then they had to go to the guillotine. I thought that this story was a little complicated, but it was interesting. And I thought a aristocratic who will go to the guillotine was a kind man because he talked fiendly to a girl who also will go to the guillotine. So, I thought it is not necessary to kill such a kind man, however I could understand the feelings of poor people.

BR8: The President's Murderer

' RUN!' the man thought. 'Move! Faster! I can't stop now.' (p. 1)

 I read this book, but I couldn't understand why the man who actually didn't kill the president of his country was chased as a murderer of the president. He was not a murderer, but the chief of police and new president wanted him to back to the prison. But everyone helps him. And in the end he was killed by army.  This book was interesting to read, however the true murderer's name didn't turn out.
