I read a new book recently,it is called"Gone With The Wind",and
it's a story about romance.
In the novel .a young woman,Scarlett O'hara ,tells everyone
that she is in love with a man,named Ashley Wilkes.But there is
another man ,Rhett Butler,who has a powerful effect on her,and
it is not until Rhett decides to leave that Scarlett realizes who
she truly loves.The book is about truth and imagination.What
we believe we are is not necessarily what we really are.
In addition to the love story,I also appriciate the philosophy
of Scarlett .For her, "tomorrow is another day. "When I am in the
low mood,I always tell myself that tomorrow will be a better day.
Reading "Gone With The Wind"is not only for pleasure ,but also a
good reminder of this truth about tomorrow.

After finishing "Tales from Shakespeare", this week I choose "The Phantom Of The Opera." I borrow this book from William. The reason why I borrow this book is that I want to test my English reading ability due to William said the book is really hard to read.

I will make a brief introduction first. This story is written by Gaston LEROUX, the profile French mystery and horror novelist best remembered today as the anther of The Phantom Of The Opera. This book is published by The Modern Library. The company says that they has published the world's best books at the best prices.

I read only three chapters – "Prologue", "Is It The Ghost?" and "The New Margarita " during this week. Actually, it is really not easy to read. I will tell more feelings about this book after I read in next reading journal.

This time I choose a children's book that is named Charlotte's Web. Charlotte's Web is a children's book by acclaimed American author E. B. White. First published in 1952, it tells the story of a barn spider named Charlotte and her friendship with a pig named Wilbur. The book was illustrated by Garth Williams. To get to know what kind of books foreign children will read in their daily lives, I choose this book, which is recommended by my classmate.

Charlotte's Web is an animal fable that deals with several important aspects of a happy life: friendship, heroism, constancy, and death. Wilbur is hyperactive and always exploring new things. This book begins when John Arable's sow gives birth to a litter of piglets, and Mr. Arable discovers one of them is a runt and decides to kill it. However, his 8 year old daughter Fern begs him to let it live. Therefore her father gives it to Fern as a pet, and she names the runt Wilbur. It's a pity that I didn't finish it yet due to the continuous holidays, but I will finish the last part because it's interesting!

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.
