Review of "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" (BR 4)

'—and the doctor hit Muff Potter with the piece of wood. Muff fell down. Then Injun Joe pushed the knife into the doctor's—' (p. 44)

   Tom Sawyer was a eleven-year-old boy. His parents were dead. So, He lived with his father's sister, Aunt Polly. He did not help Aunt Polly. He often behaved badly.
   One day, he and his friend, Huck encountered a murder. Injun Joe killed Doctor Robinson. But Injun Joe put the blame on Muff Potter. Tom and Huck knew that Muff is a good man. In the trial of Muff, Tom testified that Injun Joe commited a murder, not Muff. Then, Injun Joe ran away.
   At the picnic with his friend, Becky, Tom and Becky went into a cave. They left the other children. They took a basket of food and some candles. They went further into the caves together. After a while, they couldn't find the entrance. They're lost!
   In the cave, Tom saw a man. It was Injun Joe. After escaping from the cave, Tom told the Judge about Injun Joe. Then, Injun Joe was found. But he was dead.
   Tom and Huck received the reward. Then, they became rich.
   This story is so interesting.

Review of "Jack and the Westbourne Fair"

イメージ
The Westbourne Fair is coming to town and it is Jack's favourite moment of the year. But when he gets into trouble at school his parents say that he can't go to the fair. Jack decides to go to the fair anyway and he learns that there are more important things in life than having fun. I read "Jack and the Westbourne Fair." This book was written by Martyn Hobbs. And this book was published by Helbling Languages in 2009. This book is a part of "Helbling Readers 2."

Review of "Circle Games" (BR 8)

'Turn like a wheel,' he laughed while he danced with the children. (p. 11)    This book is consisted of five stories. So, I'd like to review one of the stories.    The title of the story is 'Quick Man Tan.' Caleb Tan was a great Chinese dancer and could move like fighters in kung fu films long time ago.    His family, he and his wife and son, has a cafe. His son was a good cook, and cooked all meal of the cafe. And, his wife carried the meal to people came to the cafe. But, Tan didn't work at all.    All he did was telling people his old stories. His family wanted him to work.    But one day, a robber came in to the cafe. He had robbed some things at other places. All people were afraid of the robber, but Tan moved like fighters in kung fu  films and the robber was on the floor. He helped to catch the robber! I thought that Caleb Tan was great. And, all five stories were so interesting. Brennen, Frank. (2005). Circle Games. Cambridge: Cambridge Univ

Ellis saved money for her, but he couldn't save enough money to go to the hospital. So, he sells his customers snakes that isn't allowed to bring to the country. And then, he was threatened by one of the curtomers who bought the illegal snake, and had to sell cocaine.    Nat helped them so smartly. Ellis and Dionne could have a usual, safe life. C
