Love omong the Haystacks-book report

Do you like story about shy farmer brothers' love story? If so you should read Love among the Haystacks which are written by the famous love story writer D. H. Lawrence. 
This story is about two brothers who were shy with girls finding love in hayfield.  Two brothers fight at the haystack because Geoffrey was jealous of women and pushes Maurice off the haystack. The German girl whose name is Paula runs down and tells other farmers that Geoffrey pushed but Maurice says it was an accident. At dinner a tramp comes and asks for a job but farmers give him food. Then tramp's wife comes and gets angry. At night, Maurice and a horse ride with Paula but it started to rain. Paula helps Maurice to cover the haystack but they were stuck. When Geoffrey comes to tool shed the tramp's wife comes in. She was cold, hungry and wet so Geoffrey gives her blanket, bread and cheese. Finally they kiss. In the morning Geoffrey puts the ladder and four people have breakfast together.
 I think this story is much more romantic because it is not a story that could happen in now days easily.
 I recommend this book to people who love love story because this book is a good love story.

Huckleberry Finn-book report

Do you like to wear clean clothes, sleep in bed? Well Huck didn't. If you are curious about this book you should read Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain.

Also she tells that Jim is a free man now. Jim tells Huck that his Pop is dead.

The Phantom of the Opera-book report

Do you like stories about love stories with a horrible man? If so you should read The Phantom of the Opera by Jannifer Bassett.
 This story begins with opera singers talking about the O.G who is very ugly. His real name is Erik and he helped making the opera house. Then one woman tells that Joseph is killed by the O.G. One day Christine sings because La Carlotta is ill. The performance is successful. After the performance Raoul goes to meet Christine but she says that she doesn't remember him. The O.G gets very angry because La Carlotta sings instead of Christine and makes chandelier fall. While Christian's show the light gets out and when it comes back on, she is gone. Raul and Persian go to find Christian who is in O.G's house under the opera house. They go to Christian's dressing room and get trapped in a torture room with mirror. Christian sees them and kisses Erik to save Raoul. Erik lets them go and dies. Raoul and Christine marry and have a happy ending.
 Some people think the O.G is very bad but I don't think so. You should remember that there are people who kill the woman because she doesn't want to marry with him. He is a normal person who is very ugly.
 I don't recommend this book to person thinks himself is ugly. When ugly person reads this book they could understand that ugly person fails.

Matilda book report

 Do you like stories about extra-ordinary person? If so you should read Matilda by Roald Dahl.
 Matilda is an extra-ordinary girl but her parents think she is stupid.Matilda could perfectly speack when she was 1, at the age of 3 she could read and she went to library at 4. Mr. Wormwood is Matilda's father. He is a second handed car dealer and he cheats costomers. He is always ignorant to Matilda. When he makes Matilda angry, she counter attacts by putting superglue on his hat, making her family to belive that there is a ghost and making her father's hair turn into dirty grey color. When Matilda goes to school, she meets Miss Honey. She never raises her voise to children. She realizes Matilda's talent and goes to Miss Trunchbull and Matilda's parents to put Matilda in to a higher class but she fails. Miss Trunchbull hates children and she is very evel. She punishes chlildren by throwing them like a hammer. Before, Miss Trunchbull's class, the class that Miss Trunchbull checks what students have learnt, Lavenda puts a newt in Miss Trunchbull's water jug and when she pours the water in to a watercup the newt comes out. That is when the miracle happened. Matilda knocks the cup over without touching it. She tells this to Miss Honey and does it again infront of her. They went to Miss Honey's cottage to talk about more. Miss Honey tells Matilda that her aunt is Miss Trunchbull. Matilda uses her ability to lift and move a chalk and writes on the board saying to give her house back to Miss Honey by not touching it. Miss Trunchbull runs away and Miss Honey got back her house. Matilda's familly planns to run away to Spain because the costomers now know that he cheated but Matilda stays with Miss Honey because Miss Honey agrees.
 In this book, Miss. Trunchbull and Mr. Wormwood who was bad get revenged but Miss Honey and Matilda who was fighting against them get rewarded at last. I think simmilar thing happened in my life. At our class, there was a boy who thought every other students weren't better than him so he treated his classmates badly. Of course there was a side who said no and didn't obey him. Few months later, the boy got punished by our teacher and the ones who fought against was rewarded.
 I recommend this book to people who are having hard lives. This book could be a power to keep them going because this book shows that they will once get rewarded.

Book Report on Frindle

 Do you like stories and problem happen around school by a creative kid? If so, you should read Frindle.
 In this book, there is a very creative boy named Nick. Nick had plenty of ideas. At fifth hrade, Nick meets a strict teacher named Mrs. Granger. One day, Mrs.Granger answered Nick's questions. "Who says dag means dag? You do, Nick." that made Nick make up the new word 'frindle'. This word was issued just in Nick's school, but Nick came up on news and TVshows because of Judy Morgan. Then, frindle was used by children all around the country. When teachers and parents were fighting against 'frindle' using students, 'frindle' was just a word at Nick's school. Just like 'tree'and 'door'. After 10 year, Nick got an envelope from Mrs. Granger. It had brand new dictionary which word frindle was in it. Also he got a letter. It said that Mrs. Granger was playing a villian in Nick's story and asking Nick to forgive her.
 In the book, Nick was very creative. He made up the new word 'frindle'. I think one of my friend is like Nick. He was always creative. He created new games which every body liked. His plan to do something always succeeded. Mabe he has created a new word in China.
 In my thoughts, frindle was very fun and friedndly. This is a book you would never want to put down.

tiger rising- 서평

Are you thinking about a boy and a girl rising a tiger? Then this book is not it. This book is about a boy named Rob who lost his mom and had a rash on his leg, didn't want to go to school and walked in the woods in the morning. His father was working in Kentukey Star Motel. The Motel and the woods were all owned by Beauchamp. In the woods Rob found a tiger in a cage. He ran out of the woods and got on the school bus. In the school bus, he met a new student called Sistine. That day the principal told Rob not to come to school until his rash clears out. Rob told Sistine about the tiger and Sistine belived it. Few days later, Beauchamp let Rob feed the tiger and gave him the key for the cage. Thanks to Sistine, Rob let the tiger out but Rob's father shot and killed the tiger. That made Rob open his imaginary suitcase, which means that he let his sadness and anger out from his mind. Rob's father understood Rob and they became happy.
 Although this book was a kind of book I didn't like, I liked when Rob let the tiger out, the suit case in rob's mind opened(the suit caise was kept by a tiger).
 I recommend this book to people over 10. Ages down, I don't think they can understand this story.
