BR 2-11: Adventure of Huckleberry Finn


"Well, I got a good going- over in the morning, from old Miss Watson, on account of my clothes." (Twein, 1985, P.23).

I knew the story because I watched the movie and read the book in the class. Mark Twein is famous novel writer in the U.S. It is the famous story, so I wanted to read again and write reviews.

The main character is Huckleberry Finn. He is a curious, silly and adventurous boy. He adventured with Jim. Jim was African American, and slave. They were going down to the north of the Ohio river for getting freedom!

The interesting point is that Huck told people a lie many many times. He protected himself to live. His lie was so exiting. However, sometimes people found him tell a lie. His lie is for protecting them.

BR 2-10: This is London

"There are many exiting things to do in London. It is a fun city!" (P.4, Prowse, 2006).

The why that I choose the book is that I am interested in London. I would like to go to London sometime. I think that London is the beautiful city. London is the biggest city in British. It is one of the famous cities in the world.

The book is written about London. For example, parks, churches, museums, and so on. The book introduced a lot of famous place. Then, there are not only sightseeing but also history in London.

My favorite is Covent Garden. In 1600's, Covent Garden was a fruit and flower market. Now we can buy clothes and antiques there. I want to go there and go shopping! Other my favorite is tower bridge. I want to go The River Thames, and watch Tower Bridge.

BR 2-09: New York Cafe

"A better America, I want a better America." (P.21, Dean, 2000)

The why I choose the book is I feel "What is New York cafe?" I think that New York cafe is normal cafe, but actually it may not be cafe.

This story is in New York, in 2030. It is written like daily. The cafe is a computer cafe. The main characters are The Fuller. They wanted to help poor people and made them happy. Morever, they wish better America and want to be better America.

The interesting point of the book is the effort of the Fullers. They made a lot of efforts, however, it could not be realized. I think that it is sad story and I hope that it will be peace world in 2030.

typing homework 15 (my favorite high school memories)

There are a lot of memories in my high school days. First of all, I belonged to tennis team of the high school. I had never played tennis when I decided to be on the tennis team. When I start to play tennis, it was very hard for me to play tennis. Although I was not good at playing tennis, I practiced it almost every day. I practiced with Ayako, who was one older than I. The member of the team is only 6 people. The other team mate did not practice it very hard. The tennis team is not strong, but I think that it is important for us to practice it hard, so I practiced. In 2nd grade, she retired to be the tennis team for entrance exams of university. I could not practice very hard because I did not have team mate who practiced very hard. I was sad, but I practice it again and again. I practiced whatever I could do.

typing homework 13 (my favorite life style)

I think that it is the most important for me to sleep in my all life. I sleep about over 8 hours in a day. Sleeping is very important. I know that sleeping is more important than food. A person who dose not sleep dies faster than a person who dose not eat. If you go to sleep 12 hours late, It will take your body about three weeks to return normal. We spend about one third of our lives in sleep. That is about 121 days in a year.We are all different which we need to sleep is. A baby 16 hours of sleeping every day. Children 6 to 12 years old need an average of 10 to 12 hours. When I was elementary school student, my mother said "you have to go to bed" at 9 pm, so I went to bed at about 9 pm, and got up at about 7. I was used to sleep about 10 hours. It is average!

typing homework 12 (my favorite drinks 2)

Green tea is one of my favorite drinks. I think that the most important drink in my country is green tea. Green tea is loved by all generations. I think that green tea is a symbol of Japanese national character and meal. Japanese food is healthier than other counties, so green tea is healthy and get well with Japanese food. Green tea match Japanese food because it is healthy. When I went to America, American people often drink pops or water while eating. However, I often green tea or barley tea in Japan while eating. My parents and grandmother often drink green tea, too. It is different, so I think that green tea is one of the most important drinks for Japanese. I can't even imagine meals without green tea. Green tea is good for us to keep our health. You had better drink green tea every time when you are eating.
