THR REPORT OF MAKING NEW COUNTRY.

Today, we had a meeting in the library. I made Map and Flag. We discussed history, industry and native people. I think it is difficult to make new country, but it is so fun.
We have a lot of things to do. We will do our best!!

THE MISTERY OF ALLEGRA

This was very sad story.

Main character was Allegra. Allegra was a little girl. She looked very sad every time. Why? In fact, her parents divorced. Allegla had to live with only her father. She missed her mother. Unfortunately, Allegra could not meet her mother, and she died because of sadness. However, in spite of her death, Allegra kept looking for her mother as a ghost.
" Where is my mom? Please take me to Mama!"
She muttered repeatedly.

Recently, in Japan, a divorce rate is increasing. I think many children feel sad because of divorce. Japanease parents should have a responsibility to look after their children. Parents have to meka their children happy.
I hope all children can be happy.

MATTY DOOLIN

Thanks to this story, I could feel people-animal bonds and importance of my future.

The main character was Matty. Matty was man who worried about his future. Matty wanted to work with animals and get a job on farm. However, his parents wanted him to get a job in ship-building like like his father.
One day, Matty went camping with his friends on a farm. For the first time, he worked at farm, and he became friends with Besty-a dog. In spite of hard work, Matty never nade complaints.
He wanted to be allowed by his parents. When he was tired, Besty encouraged him. The last scene of this story was very moving. When Matty met with disaster because of storm, Besty helped him! I was surprised and impressed.
Fortunatly, because Matty worked very hard on the farm, his parents allowed him to keep working on the farm.

If I have a dream, and if my parents don't permit it, I may give up my dream. However Matty told me the importance of firm faith. I dom told me the importance of firm faith. I don't know if the importance of firm faith. I don't know if I will get a job 4 years later, but I'll never give up.

In conclution, I want a dog!!

When I heard this title, some zombies came up to my mind. But it was wrong.



In this story, there was two main character. One of them wsa a poor woman. She Loved pop music and her father. However, her father and her favorite musican were killed by a car accident. Since then, she began to take to delinquency. On the other hand, the other main character is a man of few words. Though he smiled, his eyes didn't look so. Why did he look so? In fact, he killed young girl by a car accident. He blamed himself. They met in a island by chance.
They began to understand each other.

Through this story, I realized bonds is important. I want to take good care of friends

GRACE DARLING

I was deeply moved by this story. This story is similar to TITANIC, but this is not love story.

Do you know Forfarshire? This is ship which was wrecked off the north-east coast of England in 1838. This is the true story. Because of hard wind and rain, the ship was about to sink at any minute. There could no longer be any hopes that passenger and crew have survived.
However, only one woman realized this dying ship. It was Grace Daring. In spite of dengerous situation and opposition of her parents, she decided to rescue dying people. Fortunately, all of passenger and crew could come back. This happening and moving story were known widely. To my surprised, Queen Victoria thinks that Grace Darling is one of the finest young women!!

There is a risk un heiping other people. I'm proud of Grace Darling. This story is wonderful!! Don't miss it!!

The Piano

This story made me happy.

This is story of one famous pianist. When he was young, his family very poor. So, he had to work
after graduated from school. He worked at small farm. Fortunately, there were very old piano.The boy had never played piano, but the moment when he touched the piano, he could play fluently. By chance, a famous music teacher knew him. Thanks to this teacher and his family, the boy could appear on music stage. Thanks to this stage, his name was known all over the world.

I was impressed with the boy's dedication. In this story, the boy had to work from 6:00 a.m to 4:00 p.m. After that, he went to piano class. If I were he, I could'nt live. I respect him.
Now,I'm a member of mandolin club. Playing mandolin is a little difficult and soon Music Festival will take place. I'm very busy at club and classes, but I'll do my best!!

The Mysterious Island

I had not heard this story, but this was so exciting story. The characters were five men, Nab, Smith, Spillet, Herberd and Cyrus. At the first of this story, they were high in the sky in a balloon. Unfortunately, the balloon was carried away from the land by great wind, and the five men reached small island. In this island, there were a lot of strange things. For example, one of them was the box. The box had much food, so the five men could get something to eat forever. It made a contribution to them. These strange things mede me fun, it was unity of five men that made me impressed. In spite of hard situation, they never forget to trust each other.
This story is really exciting. I recommend you to read.
Have a nice time with this book!!

KING ARTHER AND THE KNIGHTS OF THE AROUND TABLE

When I was studying history of the world, I heard "King Arthur" several time. So I am happy to read this story.

This story of King Arthur and the Round Table is very,very old. People wrote stories about this king hundred years later. Nobody knows who wrote this story first, but different people in france and britain wrote about King Arther and his brave knights.

"Only the next king can pull the sword out of the stone."
Have you ever heard this text? This is very famous. Many people tried, but they could move. Only Arther could pull out. Many people loved him as their new king, and excellent knights place under his orders. But some people tried to kill him because of his authority.

In this story, many people fought and died. I was very sad. I don't know why people fight. However, sometimes, fighting tell us something. Perhaps, thank you for past fight, we can have a good time every day.

I am complicated.
