I have finished the novel ,called "Romeo and Juliet".I have ever seen the movie before ,so it's easy for me to get the point.

Romeo and Juliet is one of Shakespeare's most famous masterpieces. It is a tragedy of love. The book talks about that Romeo loved Juliet at the first sight, and Juliet loves Romeo, too. Even they were in love, they still can't be together because the two families were enemies. Their parents thought that they were not been well matched .In the end of the story both Romeo and Juliet were dead for love. After the two families heared the news, they were touched and decided to make friends again.

It is really happy for us to live in this free society. We can choose our lovers by ourselves instead of by our parents. After all , love can not be controlled.

I have finished the book ,called "The Chronicles of Narnia-the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe".

The main idea of the book is that some kids Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy Pevensie from our world go into a magical world " Narnia"through the Wardrobe .And there is a evil white witch who has enchanted Nania for a long time so that it is always winter and never Christmas . The kids help the inhabitants of Narnia fight the forces of white witch.

I love one of the main characters ,called Aslan . He is not only a lion but also the king and god of Narnia. The reason why I love him is that he sacrifices his life to help another. Aslan represents Christ.

"The Chronicles of Narnia-the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe"is not difficult to read. I enjoy entering this magic world with these kids because I can see many interesting things ,and can experience a exciting adventure.

I have finished 《The Hunchback of Natre Dame》recently. It's easier for me to read.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame is originally named 《Notre Dame de Paris》, because the backround story happened at Paris's most famous gothic cathedral. This Novel was written by Victor Hugo .
The main characters name is Quasimodo, he was named by his cruel guardian the owner of the cathedral Claude Frollo. From the moment he was born Frollo had trapped him the belle tower . Although he was in that bad enviroment, he grew up to be a kind-hearted young man .One time when a festival was held, Quasimodo met Esmeralda who had not only caught the instrest of Quasimodo, but even Frollo , thus the sad story starts.

The book's most touching part is that Hugo had used the book to criticize the darkness and the unfairness. Although Quasimodo was born ugly, he had a kind heart, reflecting to that, the cathedral owner Frollo had an ugly heart.

《The Hunchback of Notre Dame》is not only made into an animated cartoon, but was also made into a musical, and both are very popular. Although it is a sad ending, I still love it.

I have finished "The Sorrows of Young Werther " .
Well,it is very difficult for me to read .As a result,I read slower and felt bored about its context.

The Sorrows of Young Werther is a collection of letters written by Werther, a young artist , sent to his friend Wilhelm.

In these letters, Werther gives a very intimate account of his stay in the a village of Wahlheim . He meets and falls in love with Lotte, a beautiful young girl who is already engaged to a man named Albert.

Although Werther is very sad, he still makes friends with both of them. His pain eventually becomes so great that he is forced to leave . While he returns to Wahlheim , where he is more sad than he was before, because Lotte and Albert are now married. Out of pity for Lotte's friend and respect for her husband, Lotte makes a decision that Werther should not visit her so frequently. Werther is very sad and had realized that one of them—Lotte, Albert, or Werther himself—had to die. Unable to hurt anyone else ,Werther has no choice but to kill himself .

It's not a happy ending.Afer finishing it,I am very sad.I thinkWerther is very stupid,he dosen't have to give up his life . I don't know how strong the power of love is,but I know how important the life is.
Next time I want to choose the books more more happier.
