Matilda ( book review1-06 )

Yesterday, I read "Matilda" , written by Roald Dahl. This was a novel, so I could read easily and smoothly.

Matilda was a very crever girl. She cn read newspeper when she was four years old. However her family, father, mother and older brother, were ao bad poeple. they sold phony cars. They thought that was clever. Therefore Matilda didn't be allow their parents to read books. However she want to the library and read many books there. Those books were too difficult for four years old girl, but she could read and understood them. When she entered school, she was the cleverest in her class. She could attend the higher class, so Ms.Honey told about Matilda to her aunt, Miss Trunchbull. Miss. Trunchbull was so mean and she did not like children. She did not allow Matilda to enter higher class. What is worse, she treated children so violently. Matilda got angry and she tried to stop her. Yes, she could do it because she was so clever and had a apecial power. She could move things without touching. Because of her help, Miss Trunchbull stopped her job, and children could be peaceful. Matilda's family went away because thier bad activities were coming out. However Matilda lived with Miss Honey, so she was so happy.

I thought bad activities were can not hide. If we do bad things, we get some penalty. On the other hand, we can get success if we do good things, like Matilda. She was honest and try hard. I think it is so hard. Sometimes it was no meaning, that mean, we can not success. However, what is important is trying hard and keep trying. I want to be honest and kind to others like Matilda.

This is my report on reading "Matilda".

Black Beauty ( book review1-05 )

I will write reading report again. This time, I read "Black Beauty". This story was written by Anna Swell. She was ill all her life, but she worry about the way people treated animals. "Black Beauty" is horse story. This story was talked by a horse, named Black Beauty. It is one of good point in this story. Having changed view, I could read this story. I felt I was a horse.

Black Beauty was born in the farm. At first, he lived with his mother. He was so smart and kind because his mother told him to be kind to the human. One day he was bought by other people. and then, he had to change his owner because of many reasons. Sometimes it was nice, but sometimes terrible. Some people were not kind. They treated him violently, for instance, he was pulled his rain strongly, flicked a whip again and again, worked too hard, and so on. Black Beauty often think he wanted to die. Of course he couldn't say anything to people because he was horse. However, he tried to make people happy. He always kind and he had never hated people. I think that is the reason why he could reach family who treated him so important. Finally, he could go back his house, where he was born.

I think people sometimes treat animals badly. They can not say anything. However we have to understand them. Animals give us a lot of things. Sometime they make us happy, and they become our partner. We have to feel gratitude for the animals. They also live in the earth and they work for the nature. We often break it. it is important to think hoe we help the animals because it is the same that how to save the earth. I love animals, so I am sad when I hear that there are a lot of animals which is threatened with extinction. I try to think what i should do for them more than before.

Food For Thought ( book review1-04 )

On Wednesday, I went to library in school. I borrowed two books for this brog. Then I read "Food For Thought" this time. I thought about food a lot for the first time. Food is important for us. I think we should know about what we should eat and how the food make. I will explain about this story.

Joe wanted to spend the summer surfing, but he couldn't because his friend canceled it. He didn't have anything to do. Then his uncle asked him to help his farm during holiday. Joe didn't spend his holiday in the farm, but there were good beach near that farm. He decided to go the farm because he thought he can surf when he was free. His farm had a problem. Uncle Dave's rival used agricultual chemicals and produce a lot of vegetable, so thier vegetable was so cheap and people bought them. On the other hand, Uncle's farm grew organic vegitables thai is little expensive. He met two girls, Helen and Anna. Helen was rival's daugter. Anna helped Dave's farm. Two grils are not friend. Anna trashed Helen's farm vegitables. Of course, it was crime, but she want to protected farm. Joe thought how he should do uncle's farm and he had interested in food.

I didn't care about food, but there are many vegetables that is growen by agricultual chemical. You know, it has many problem about our health, environment, circle of life and so on. May be, there are less vegetables, that agricultual chemical is used, than before. If I have a chance, I want to try to spend in the farm because I can learn about natural vegitable and I can konw what non-agricultual chemical vegitable is good.

This time, I can notice a problem in my life by reading book. We have to think about it.

Impression of "Babe" ( Book review 1-01)

I read a book which was written in English. I will write impression of it in this blog. I read "Babe ~the sheep pig~ which is very famous story. I have seen the movie before, so I want to try to read this book in English. This is a reason why I read "Babe".

At first, I will explain this story. Babe was a pig which Mr. Hoggot was given from a man. Mr. Hoggot was confused because he was sheep farmer, so he didn't want the pig. Her wife try to eat for Christmas dinner. One day, Babe defended the Mr. Hoggot's farm from thief. Mr. Hoggot and his wife notice that the pig was so clever. His sheepdog, whose name is Fly, was so old, so he thought he tried to bring up Babe as sheep-pig! Babe was so happy because he had wanted to be sheep-pig for a long time. He train so hard. Finally he could win the sheep-dog trial, and he became the best in the world. This is the story of "Babe".

I felt that I mustn't decide something only by the people's looks. In this story, many sheep-dogs think the sheep is stupid animal without knowing how sheep is, and they treat sheep so violent. On the other hand, Babe was so polite to sheep, so he was liked everyone. He never had been arrogant. He was so king pig and try to know the others feeling. It is important for people isn't it? We have a lot of stereotype, and decided something without knowing. That is one of reasons we have many problem, for instance, discrimination. We should have consideration to the others like Babe.

This is my report in reading "Babe". I like this story very much.
