The Happy Prince

"Swallow, Swallow, little Swallow," says the Prince. (p. 17)

  Today I discussed The Happy Prince with Yuka, Mako and  Ruka. This story is sad  but makes us warm. The Prince is so kind that tries to help unhappy people in the town. However he is a statue and he cannot move his body freely. One day a little swallow flies to him. The swallow helps him and does what he asks.

  There is a scene which the mayor and the councilors take the prince's statue because his gold which cover his body is taken off for poor people. They want to make their own statue, so they start arguing for next statue. From this scene the readers see people's foolish. According to this book, the author describes their stupidity by comparing with kind prince and swallow. That is so interesting for me.

Wagon Wheels

I know you can do it because you are my fine big boys. (p. 47)

Hello everyone! Today I read Wagon Wheels.

 Johnny is a main character of this story. There are four people in his family, his father, Willie, little brother and him. He lost his mother on the way to a hard trip. They are traveling to find their new house.
 In this story, Johnny is described as a brave boy and it is impressive for me. Though he is eleven old years, he takes care of his brother and fight with a big snake. If I were he, I could'n do that.
