My favorite book is "The Old Man and the Sea ". I like it very much because of the deep meaning inside. The book is simple and short but after I read it, I was shocked by Santiago's perseverance.
ReplyDeleteI didn't enjoy "The Old Man and the Sea" very much, probably I didn't really understand it. My favorite book is Room, is a book that I chose for the summer reading project, I really enjoyed it. I like it because of his incredible plot and I was affascinated by the behaviour of Jack, who's the main character, in the external world, after having been in a 12x12 feet room his hole life.
ReplyDeleteMartina what is the genre of the book?
ReplyDeleteMy favourite book is called The Giver by Lois Lawry. It takes places in a community of the future where everybody is equal, and there is no sufferance and pain. At the end of the 12th year to every boy and girl it is assigned their work for the future, but for Jonas is different, he has been chosen to be the one and only Giver of his community.
My favorite book is "The Secondary Effect of Dreams", it's a french book written by Delphine de Vigan. It talks about a thirteen-year old girl called Lou, she spends her free time conducting scientific tests, developing theories about how the world works, counting and defining things. Lou will know a girl named Nolween who will show her how billions of people struggle just to find a piece of bread.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite book i called "Kafka on the shore" by Haruki Murakami. The book is divided into two sections: odds and evens. The odd chapters talk about a 15 year old boy called Kafka who runs away from his fathers house, to escape an oedipal curse, and to go on a quest to find his mother and sister. After many months the police had searched for him they finally find him in connection with a murder.
ReplyDeleteThe even chapters, talk about a man called Nakata that is described to have very mysterious abilities. During his old age he had found a part time job for lost cats. A particular case of a cat sets him of on a journey on the road for the very first time. a very sensitive and psychological novel, i enjoyed it, but it could also get boring if one doesn't particularly like these kinds of novels.

ReplyDeleteA fascinating author, although I've only read a few stories. I'll have to find this book and try it out. Do you know if the school library has it?
My favourite book is "The Last Song" written by Nicholas Sparks.It's the story of 17 year old Ronnie,that lived a frustrating childhood.When her parents divorced,she had to be separated from her father,and after three years she and her brother were forced to spend a summer with him.She first didn't want to relate with her father anymore,but there was one hobby that they had in common,music.When they discovered that Ronnie's father had cancer,they became very close to one another,and Ronnie could take out all the emotions that she felt by playing the piano.I recommend this book because it is written extremely well,and it's a story that touched me personally for the relationship father-daughter.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite book is "What If the Manageress of a High School Baseball Team read Drucker's "Management""(もし高校野球の女子マネージャーがドラッカーの「マネージメント」を読んだら)by Natsumi Iwasaki. This is Japanese book. It's about Minami Kawashima who is a manager for the High School Baseball team. Minami is a manager because her best friend Yuki is hospitalized with an illness,said to her to be a manager. But Minami did not know how to manage Baseball team. So,she use Drucker's "Management". At first, Baseball team did not listen to her, after a while they listen to her and they would have a dream that they want to go "Koshien"(Japanese famous High School Baseball tournament). I like this book because I respect Minami who is main character is almost same grade as I,and she is very ironside,and don't be give up. And I also like Baseball team because they affected by Minami and they would play baseball well. I thought I would be strive for my study and my dream as Minami.
