Hard Day...

I have a lot of home works at this week. I am much wearied to death. Yesterday, I couldn't sleep well, but I have to go at university until nine o'clock a.m. So, I tried sleeping again and again. I got up 8 o'clock today; it was too late for me. I couldn't eat breakfast... I went to the university as fast as possible. I am very tired now. More over, I am having a lot of things to do. For example, a home work of a secretary certificate examination, speaking home work, reading home work, writing home work, a home work of home stay program, cleaning my room, washing my clothes, cooking dinner, etc. I am so nervous...But, I think many people same as me. They should have a lot of things to do. So, I shouldn't complain and whine about that. I will do my best however I fail these things. Trying hard and doing my best is important!

Book review 1-5 Pocahontas

I read "Pocahontas” yesterday. I watched a movie of "Pocahontas” when I was a child, but I didn't remember that story. This is why I borrow this book and read it.

Pocahontas is girls’ name. She lived in Virginia. She is beautiful and thirteen years old then. In January 1607 three ships left England, and lots men wanted to find a new world in west. They arrived in Virginia on the 26 th April, 1607.

Englishmen were very happy, because Virginia was beautiful. However, the Algonquin Indians of Virginia were not happy. They were afraid of the Englishmen. One of the Englishmen, John Smith was a leader. He wasn't afraid of the Indians. He was friendly, but carefully about them. He wanted to learn about Virginia, and Englishmen began to build a little town. It was called Jamestown. They believed Virginia is a new world for the English although the Indians have lived before they came.

Many of Englishmen died in winter, because the Virginia winter is long and cold. Only fifty men were alive. They needed more foods. So, John Smith decided to ask Indians to give some foods.

Powhatan was a King of Indians. He had a one daughter; Pocahontas. Powhatan wanted to guns. Some Englishmen killed Indians, as a same, some Indians killed Englishmen. Powhatan was angry. Moreover, John Smith never agrees to give guns, it made Powhatan more angrily. He decided to kill Smith, but Pocahontas liked him because of his eyes color. His blue eyes were so beautiful. These looks like sky's color. So, she said her father gave him to her.

Past a year, Pocahontas loved John, but she was only 14 years old, and John was 28. He liked her very much, but he didn't know a lot of about women and love. Pocahontas was unhappy. Another month have passed, John Smith left Jamestown because of ill. Pocahontas was surprised because she heard he was dead. He left without a letter for her. She was disappointed.

When she was 19, she married a man whose name are John Rolfe. He was an Englishman, and they had a son later. They went to England to meet the King and Queen of England. Then, she met a man, and it was surprise for her. Surprisingly, the man was John Smith. He was not died, he was alive! But, Pocahontas didn't want to meet him. She had a son and a husband. She said good bye, and she loved Smith when she was a child.

In March 1617, Pocahontas died, and John Smith never had a wife. He couldn't forget the sad, when she said good bye to him...

I felt sad when I finished reading this book. I thought John Smith loved Pocahontas, but he didn't notice. I thought this story was different from the movie of Walt Disney. It was a happy end. However, this story was not happy, but I felt real not fairy tale. I was sad when Englishmen and Indians killed each other. I thought why they fight. It was wrong. Above all, English men thought Virginia is a new world for the English was wrong! But, Indians killed them was wrong too. Why people can't live together? Why people hate a person who is different from color and appearance? I thought this is still very serious problem.

Book review 1-4 The Love of a King



Do you know King Edward? This story is his story; his history. He was born in 1894.His father was cold man, and his mother too. She thought a child must be silent and strong. Edward and his family lived in Buckingham Palace. There are 600 rooms, 8 kittens, 19 bathrooms, 24 toilets, 11 dining rooms, 17 bed rooms and 21 sitting rooms. What's a big palace. It took a long time to bring their dinner.

Edward spent many days alone, he never played with other children and he didn't have any friends. I think he was lonely and sad. Even if he lived large palace and took high quality education, he was not happy. Rich is no matter. I think friends are more important.

He went to fight in the First World War. He talked with other people. It was very interesting for him. He didn't understand why countries fight. He saw India, Argentina, Nigeria, Mexico, New Zealand, Germany and Japan. Edward is different the other princes. He gets out of his car and walks down the street. He stops and speaks with the crowd. He laughs and smiles.

In the autumn of 1930, he met Mrs. Wallis. It was very big happen for him.
She was beautiful. She didn't lie to him. She said frankly regardless of he was prince. He laughed and liked that. Wallis married a man when she was twenty. But one day he lost some money, and he was very angry. He begun drink and hit Wallis in the mouth. So, She couldn't bear and decided to divorce. After then, she married another man. But, Edward begun loving her, and she was too. She decided to divorce her husband. Her husband forgive her and said,"I'll never stop loving you. And if you need me, I 'll always be here."

However, Edward couldn't marry easily, because he is a King now! A king is never alone. Everyone knows his face... Wallis had married two times. Everyone didn't agree she gets marry with Edward. She is not suitable for King's wife. As long as he is King He can not marry her. He decided to leave all this for Wallis. He given the crown to his brother and run from England. He is not a King. He is just a man in love.

I think it is incredible story. It is a romantic story, and they love each other always, and all.
