BR 2-05: Skyjack!

"Your wife isn't stupid, you know. This game has not ended yet. Sit still, and be ready."(p45)

I read this book when I was a high school student. I like this story very much. This book is full of suspense story. A large plane is hijacked. The Prime Minister has to think and make a decision about what they should do. She was very disturbed at the list of passenger.  There is a name on the list that she knows very well. The person is her husband. The hijackers didn't know that, but if they know that he will be killed. If you are the Prime Minister, what are you do? I think I can't decide anything. The ending, there is a regret in my heart.

BR 2-04: The Snow Queen

"She is good and sweet and innocent. That will be all the magic she needs."(p.50)

I found this book in the library. I have read the snow queen when I was a little, but I didn't remember about story. This story tells me how important to believe myself and best friend. A girl who called Gerda helped her best friend, Kay who was caught by the snow queen. She is very bravery and has clean heart. I want to have pure heart like her. We must believe myself and go up against problem. I want to watch movie some day. I have found there is a movie of the snow queen in You Tube. I am looking forward to watch it.

BR 2-03: Magical Animals

"Thinks he's a god, huh? That's shown him!"(p17)

This book has four stories. In this book, mythical beasts, Pegasus, Chimera, griffin, cockatrice and unicorn, appeared. I don't know what cockatrice is. I heard it for the first time, but it is interesting story. I think this is good for children to learn magical animals another country. Do you know why Pegasus lives with the gods? There are interesting stories each mythical beast. You'll be able to know the wisdom and stupidity of human. If you are interested in mythical beast, I recommend this book.

My hobby is...

My hobbies are reading books and watching movies. These days, I hardly read books and watch movies because I don't have much time. I have a lot of homework. I like Harry Potter series and ghibli. I like it so much that I watch it over and over again. If you have free time, try to watch.

BR 2-02: A. Christmas Carol

"I'm as light as a feather, as merry as as school boy. Thank you, Marley! From now on, I'll keep Christmas in my heart all year round."(p.50)

This story is very interesting. I have not known this story until I became a university student. I picked this book because the season turns into winter. A man was very stingy person and ill-natured, so he was disliked by everyone. However, he is indebted to his previous worker for change his mind. I am very surprised that he had a cruel heart, and I was wondering about why he had such a heart. I think this book is read in the Christmas season.

BR 2-01: Beauty & the Beast

"How could anyone love a beast?"(p.41)

I like this story because I know this movie of Disney. I think this story is going to make into a movie at an early date. I want to watch that movie because a Hollywood actress acts the role of Belle. Beauty has a pure heart and very kindhearted person. I like her, and I want to be a humane person like her. Also, Beast is a gentle contrary his look. We should not judge a person by how he looks.
