This week, I want to introduce "Jane Eyre".
I have not read the chinese one before, so I was very excited about it.
I guested there would be a happy ending, but I was wrong.

Jane Eyre can be seen as the reflection of the writer, Charlotte Bronte.
Both of them are clever but not pretty.
Jane is a governess, and Charlotte is, too.

Jane had a unhappy chidhood, when she got 18, she went to Thornfield Hall to be a governess.
And soon, she got crazy about the owner of the house, Mr. Rochester.
Moreover, Mr. Rochester also loved Jane.

However, when they decided to marry with each other, someone told Jane that Mr. Rochester had had a wife, but she was mad.
So, Jane decided to leave.

After her leaving, she found her cousins.
And her uncle left his own money for Jane.
However, Jane did not forgot Mr. Rochester.
She gave her money to her cousins and went back to Thornfield Hall.

Thornfield Hall was burnt.
And Mr. Rochester became blind, but he still loved Jane.
Finally, Jane decided to marry him.


I think it was not a happy ending.
Because there were no prince and princess' s happy life.
But I believe that true love win all bad things.


These days, I did not read English novels very often because the weeks of mid-term exams.
But I remember that Mrs. Tsao say that no matter how busy you are, take some time to read everyday, it will be a nice habbit!
I hope I can do it really!

My forth novel is "A Christmas Carol", written by Charles Dickens.

It is about an old, rich but stinge man's story. His name is Scrooge.

Before Christmas, he was never concerned about anyone around him, he never felt happy.

However, a ghost, called Marley, helped him find his real heart.

There were three ghosts, including Marley, showed his past, now and future.

He knew that how kind was he, and how stinge now. Furthemore, how poor will he possible be.

After this journey, he began a new new new life, he stared to help others, gave anyone a big smile and always felt happy.


I think I should try hard to help anyone I can help.

Don't be stinge to anyone.

Helping others not only can make them happy also can make ourselves happier.


By this reading journey, I read many novels, and all of these are very classic.

I had never read Charles Dickens' novels.

But this semester I read two. I think behind his every story is an apologue.

I hope this summer vacation I can read more, no matter in English or Chinese.

The third book I read is "The Last of The Mohicans".
This book is written by James Fenimore Cooper.
It is about the Indians and the whits 's story.

In 1757, the French fought the British. An Indians, called Uncas, tried his best to save the British sisters and sent them back to thier father. He was the last one of the Mohicans. He loved the old sister, and another Indians, helped the French fighting with the British, loved the girl, too.

So, they fought with each other. Finally, Uncas died.

This book was adapt to movie in 1992. To be honest, I don't like this book very well.

I think it is too tediousness.

The next book I will read is "A Christmas Carol".

It is written by Charles Dickens.

Hope it will be much more fun.

Recently, I have had finished reading two novels.

The one was "Oliver Twist", last time I had not finished yet, the other one was "The Black Pearl".

The end of "Oliver Twist" was happy.
The boy of the story was safe and knew about everything.
And surprisingly, Monks was his borther.
However, because of his evil behavior, he was sent to jail finally.
Then Oliver Twist became Mr.Brownlow's son-in-law.
In sum, I think it was a happy ending.


Another story, The Black Pearl, was a sad story.
It was about a girl, Isobel, always felt a spirit following her in her travel in Korea.
She felt very confused, so she tried to find out the answer.
Finally, she understood.

Long time ago, there was a Korean woman loved her father very much.
But her father did not feel her love, he married another woman.
And Isobel was their daughter.
The woman was so sad that she decided to end her life.
So, her spirit followed Isobel, she wanted Isobel went death too.

Finally, Isobel found the method to throw away the spirit.
I think it was not only sad but scaring story.
Although I finished reading two books, I think I should read more and more.
Because these novel were easy to reading.
I hope I can read at least two books such these in a week.
And reading time will more and more.
