The Suriprise

"Look at the egg," shouts Helen. " Something's happening. It's cracking" (p. 11)

 One day Roger and Helen are playing cards withe their parents when Aunt Elizabeth calls them. She is an explorer and back from Greenland on that day. She prepares a surprise for her nephew and niece. Next day she gives them a present and it is an egg. When they're eating breakfast, the egg is cracking. A pterodactyl was in it! They raise it carefully and they bring it to a museum which Aunt Elizabeth works. In the museum, the pterodactyl does a good job.

In this story, a pterodactyl becomes a pet of a family. So it remains me of my pet. I used to have a hamster for three years and he is my first pet. He came to my house when I was eight years old. I liked him very much and I was very sad when he died. However thanks to him, I learned the importance of lives.

 Holly is a high school student. She likes nature and Eco-friendly products but her family don't. So one day she leaves her home because her opinion doesn't match. She stays on a treehouse for resisting her family for a week. She gathers her friends to show her family that she won't change her mind.  I thought she has a very strong will and power to take an action.
I think that few people can take an action like her so she is brave.

David and the Great Detective

"You're a real action hero!" (p. 54)



 I read David and the great detective. David, a main character is a high school student. He often daydreams so his classmates make fun of him. One day one of the classmates asks him to help to find stolen bicycle. David's ability of imagining becomes the power for finding the bicycle.
 My favorite scene is the last scene. David says to the boys who steal the bicycle "Leave the bike there. Now get out of here." He isn't good at fighting, but he decides to help his classmate. I thought that he has bravery and kindness from this part.

The Red- headed League

My dear doctor, let's look, not talk. (p.42)

  I read The red- headed league which was written by Arthur Conan Doyle.
  One day an red- headed man visit Sherlock Holmes because he wants advice from Holmes. He is deceived by a group which is called The red- headed league. He works hard every day but suddenly the organization disappears. Holmes tries to solve the mystery. I think his powers of observation for the mystery is a highlight of this story.
  In this story the monetary unit of London appears and it is Pound. Yuka researched about it for literature circle. According to her, 1 Pound is 250,000- 500,000 yen now. The client of Holmes works to get 4 pound which is paid every week, so his salary becomes 1,000,000 yen now... I was so surprised to hear that.
