Review of "Northanger Abbey" (BR 23)

'Sir, I want to marry Catharine,' (p. 62)

    This story is in England. Miss Catherine Morland was going to stay in the city of Bath. She was going to stay with her friends, Mr and Mrs Allen. She was so excited.
   In the city of Bath, Catherine met new friends. First, she met Mr Henry Tilney and his sister, Eleaner. And then, she met a friend of Mrs Allen, Mrs Thorpe. And, she talked happily with Mrs Thorpe's eldest daughter, Isabella. And, Catherine's brother, James and Isabella's brother, John are both students at same University and they know each other. Morland brothers and Thorpe brothers had a good relationship.
   But, as time goes on, Catherine came to notice that Thorpe brothers weren't good people. So, she got along with Tilney brothers. They and their father, General Tilney were good people. They were kind to Catherine. And, Catherine fell in love with Henry Tilney. After a few months, Catherine and Henry got married.
   I was happy reading this story.

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.

'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
