BR: 2-08: The Gingerbread Mon

Then he opened his mouth and catches him!  (p.18)

Gingerbread Man is sweet. The woman made it as sweet, but it suddenly spoke and went out her house. This book is the story that Gingerbread was interesting in talking with a horse or a caw and running at first. Then he met a fox. The fox said I don't want to eat you, and the fox helped to across a river. I thought that the fox was very kind. It is the good story. But the fox ate him the end of the river. I was very surprise. Most of story for children are a reversal.For example,  Little Red Riding Hood, the other children's stories and so on.But this story is not. So, it was fresh for me. If I was child, I would be afraid of it. It is a little fearful, but this book tell children a lesson. It is that there are many fearful things in the world, so you should be very careful.

My favorite novel

My favorite novel is Battery. This story is baseball story. The content is not about a game. The protagonist is the brother. The older brother has an ability of baseball. But the younger has an illness. They grow through a lot of experience. I was impressed by the experience.  I cried many times. 

This novel was written by Atsuko Asano. She is very famous. I had not read her novel until I read Battery. I had not known her too. When I was junior high school student, I saw the poster which Battery was introduced in the library. Then I wanted to read it at once. So I went to a book store to buy it. There are the third volumes then. I read it at once. I bought the next volume. Finally, there are seventh volumes.

 I read it during the time that reading time at the morning in the junior high school. I didn’t like a reading, so I didn’t read a book in the time. But I started to read it since the time, I was very good time for me. My friends said it was tired in this time. I introduced it to them. For the first time, they didn’t believe that I say things. But also they were interested in it. I was very grad.   I collected them. I sometimes read it again. I can enjoy reading it, and I cry many times.

 A novel is impressed people. When I was child, I heard that reading a book is very good. We can learn many words and Kanji. There are many books in my house. My father likes a book. He reads a novel, a non-fiction story, a criticism and so on. So I can read many kinds of book. Also, he has a novel of Atsuko Asano. I want to read her other novels.

BR: 2-06: Stories of GHOSTS

There were twenty-two ice cold bedrooms....(p.4)

This book is ghost's story. I don't like ghost. Especially, I can not watch a ghost movie. But, this story is very fun. My favorite sentence is the top line's. When I read this book, I chuckled. Also, this picture are very cute. They are not terrible. They doesn't have legs, but it is very cute. And, one of the ghost don't have head. He has himself it on his hand. It is very terrible, but the picture is fun. I think that children who doesn't like them can read it. And, they may overcome terrible things.

The child talks with a ghost in the book. He enjoys talking with a ghost. When I was child, I read it, I might overcome a ghost. I want everyone to read it. Especially, to don't like ghost.

A month later, Cleopatra was enjoying a hot, perfumed bathe (p.25)

This book is Cleopatra's story. She is very famous in the world.  She is known for beautiful woman. I like a history, so I liked a Japanese history class and world history class when I was high school student. I studied it during high school student. Then, I learned her. I had not known anythings.

French

I went to a French restaurant with my family. My father, mother, older sister, older brother and niece. I have not eaten French cuisine so much. When I went to my cousin marriage ceremony, I ate it for the first time. Then I could not eat it, because there were many dish that I had not eaten ever. Today, there were many dish too. I could eat many dish, but I could not eat goose liver. I don't like a liver. A taste, a smell and so on. I want to become eating  a liver. Also, I could not eat an olive. I have a little likes and dislikes. My parents don't have it. It is very great for an adult. I want to challenge things.

Amount of French cuisine is not much, but I can be full. Because I spend long time eating it. I spent two hours in this time. I wanted to eat early. But I talked with my family during waiting for a dish. It is very good. We don't talk during eating something. Everyone concentrate eating.
I thought that French can communicate. What eating slowly is good, because we can have time to communicate.
Today was very good!!!
I don't have a chance that I eat French cuisine and talking with my family so much.
I want to go to a French cuisine with my family again.
