During these two weeks, I finished an English book called "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer." It is written by Mark Twain, retold by F. H. Cornish and published by Heinemann ELT. This is at beginner level with 63 pages. It is a story that talks about a naughty boy, Tom, the main character of this story. He is smart but always makes troubles and makes his aunt, Polly, angry. But he also knows how to make her laugh. His friends and he have played pirates for a week in an island. It sounds crazy. The unexpectedly thing is that one night Hunk and Tom go to a graveyard, they see a murder! At last, Tom offers his testimony, then, he becomes a hero. Tom loves a girl called Becky, he uses his pictures to makes her fall in love with him. Once, he and she get lost in the cave. They use a candle to find out the exit. In the cave, they meet Joe who is the murderer that Tom has seen in the graveyard. Finally, Joe suffers and dies in the cave. Huck and Tom are popular at last. Mark Twain's real name was Samuel Langhorne Clemens. When he was twelve, his father died, and he went to work for a printer. He began writing humorous stories when he was seventeen. At first, because the English book title, I didn't notice that this is a famous story. The reason I chose the book is because the writer. I have read Mark Twain's humorous story when I was in senior high school. This is an interesting story. Many unusual things happened in the story. Never will you know what will happen. And the author is good at describing the characteristics of the people in the story. Although this is the last RJ, I wish I could keep the habit of reading English book. Look back to this semester, it is indeed substantial!
