I finished "A Tale of Two Cities" this week.It's tragic and let me have a heavy heard.In the story the people fought against the aristocracy for their cruel and the unfair treating.At first I think that's right for the self-caring aristocracy to accept punishment for what they had had the people suffering.But every thing lost control very soon.People became lblood-thirsting and sentenced other citizens as the ruling blass had done.They lost their mind.They killed people who are related to the aristocracy without sufficient reasons.For the republic became a murder tool.Why?Darnay is different from the cruel aristocracy.He consider for people .But they still wanted him to die for he is a member of the aristocracy.It's unfair!He is innocent.Their lives have no rule to follow.Even you being good,you still have the chance to involve in a trial.Madame Defarge,she killed several citizens under the hname of liberty ,equlity and fraternity.She thought she was against the evil,but in the end she went the same road as the cruel aristocracy.

What brought these happened?It's a circle I think.The aristocracy didn't care for the people.They proud of themselves and consider people dogs or rats.They abused people until they can't stand anymore.They want to revenge.In the way the people got lost ,too.I thanks the terrible era had gone and it's a good lesson for us to take.I hope it will never happen again in the future.

Every body needs a peace land to live on.

I hasn't finish my book this time.I really read at a very slow speed.I didn't give many times for reading it.I still can't have this habit.Whether I want to read or not is seemed to be affected by my mood.When I feel tired or bad in mood I can't keep reading on and it is a hindrance that make me can't concentrate on not only reading but studying.Now I think it's time for me to face this trouble seriously.But I haven't found a way to improve it.

Another problem is that I mix some charactors together.When I saw a name I wondered who he is and what did he do.I think it's really hard for me to memorize them because it is still not familiar to me.I find it is more easier to remember when I speak out their name .The sound make me impressive.

This time I can smell the story's important idea.The people prepaired to revolution.They killed the spy once they knew someone is.They are not afraid of being captured or dead.This bad era should be changed.Prople shouldn't live in terror and they must do smething.

This time I saw a brilliant judgement in the court.Charles Darnay was accused of treason and there had many evidence to show that he had traveled between France and England regularly.It was seemed that he would certainly sentenced to death.But things doesn't go on that way.Darnay's lawyer ,Mr. Stryver,made an total twist .The one who sat beside him had the same apperance as Darnay.Mr.Stryver showed that the judge made false evidences to let Darnay be gulity.It was a surprised truth but it indicates the period that the law and government was not an institute that can work its function and was distrustable.

Another important part is the aristocracy's power.Marquis is mentioned in this story.He is an classical aristocracy.He only cared about himself and viewd other people as rats and dogs.He thought whip was the only way to treat them.He didn't care the death of them.His value was totally distorted.It not his fault.It was the abolition and the time made him this kind of person.He was just a tragic of the time.

I think the most difficult part for me to read is I can't recognise their names easily,so I have to turn to front pages to find who he is.

I started my new book with a hard beginning.I don't know whether it's really difficult to understand its meaning or it's my afraid of this advanced level book let me can't grasp the meaning.At the beginning,I read at a slow speed .I have to read back the same sentences over and over again. But now I can read it fluently.I think I get used to it and I conquered my fear.

The story is covered with a dark color.It described a scene that every one who wanna climbed up Shooter's hill defended to everyone else .It's a simple description,but it pointed out it's a time that the society is not stable.People lived under terror and they don't trust others.Then someone came and brang a letter to one of them called Jerry.This is the content of chapter one .I don't konw what's going on ,but when I kept reading I knew that it's a part of the story happened afterwards. the following action is an old man ,Mr.Lorry ,met a lady, Lucie Manette. He told her that her father was still alive and he wanted her to see him.They went to a wine shop .Her father was in a secret room of the wine shop with its door locked .Her father was making shoes when they got in.He kept making without any emotion on his face until Lucie Manette called him.He teared down on his face.

It's a charming book.Now I still can't get well-known of the roles' relationship.But I expect to.I wanna konw what had happened and will happen.It likes that there has a magic to push me to reading on.

＊This week I am busy handling the mid-term eaxm so I don't read much.

I started with a new book "A Tale Of Two Cities ." This book was written by Charles Dickens,a famous novelist which is deepl loved.He is borned in 1812. His father couldn't make good use of money , so he was in the prison for his father's debts.This poor background didn't frustrate him but made him more serious on every thing he did .He was truly afraid of poverty .On the other side,he really paid much attention to the poor.In his early twenties,he wrote his first novel.It's a provement of a man who made an effort despite of bad environment.

This book descripes the story between Paris and London under the French Revolution.In the violence and terror of the revolution,Sydney Carton,sacrificed his life for the girl he loved.This is a tragic.I don't really like these kind of story actually.but I think there is something inside the story that the author wantted us to know.Knowing the author's background can make me easily to konw what the ideas he wants to convey and why he wrote that way.

This book is a 3000 words level.It's more difficulty than last book and I just read a few pages of it. But I think I can get many things from it after I finish it.

I finished my book this week. It is not a good ending to me.Maybe in others' opinion it is another good ending to Gump,but Istill hope he can get married with Jenny.They are meant to each other,they are both in love with each other deeply.The every time Gump searched for her.In his heart,she takes an important state.

This book only uses 1200 words,so the contents are very easy and too easy that I can't know more details.But I want to know more!!!So I think I have to choose a book which is more difficult and can contains more .

From this book I realize that Gump tried to do every thing right, he is not stupid at all.And the mind is more important than the inteligent.

The book I choose to read is "Forrest Gump." (1200 words)

It is a famous story that I have heard several times .

I thought it is a interesting story cause it seems won't happen in real life.

I never see the movie and only know that by little words,so I am glad to have this chance to read it in detail.

This book is a story about an idiot called Forrest Gump.Just because he doesn't as smart as other people,he experienced many things in an unusual way.

This book is in 12 chapters, every chapter describes an important period of his life .

At first I was a little afraid of reading it for it's all in English.But I soon got used to read it.It's really not difficult and very easy to comprehend.I was charmed by the story-he met a football coach and played a wonderful game,played harmonica with Jenny's band (but he didn't learn it before!).I wanna know what's going to happen to him.I am sure it will all be fun.
