JACK and the Westbourne Fair

      Today, I read the book named of "JACK and the Westbourne Fair ". The main character of this book is a boy named Jack.  Jack often has problems at school and is scolded by his teacher and his parents. The story focuses on the Westbourne Fair, which takes place every Tuesday night in April. It was his favorite moment of the year. He wasn't allowed his parents to go to the fair, but he decided to act on his own and go to the fair. The boy who learned various things there was very brave and courageous. I also realized that it is not good to assume that a child who does bad things has some cause and often causes problems.

I was able to get courage from the activity of the hero and also felt the cruelty of the slave. 

It was difficult to understand because it included the political content of the United States.  

I thought it would be good to have some knowledge about the presidential election. 

There were some parts that were difficult to understand from the text alone, so I definitely wanted to see a movie.

Gone with the Wind part one.

      Today, I read the book named of "Gone with the Wind part one". Gone with the Wind is the best-selling novel of all time. 

In Part I, the beautiful Scarlett O'Hara learns that Ashley Wilkes, the man she loves in secret, is going to marry another woman. 

Even the terrible American Civil War is nothing compared to Scarlett's broken heart. But one man knows her secret, the handsome and dangerous Rhett Butler - and he wants her for himself.
