Rotten Apples


"The rotten apples made the horse drunk," he said. (P.22)
Today I read "Rotten Apples". At first, Biff was given a job by her mum to pick up apples on their garden. But some of the apples were bad, so she didn't pick up the rotten ones. After that her mum made Biff pick up all the rotten apples and put them in the box. After she finished her job, a man with a horse and cart came down the street. Biff picked up an apple and held it out to his horse. The horse took it with its big teeth, and furthermore, it saw the box of apples and ate all of them. But actually, those apples were bad ones. In other words, it ate rotten apples. Then suddenly, the horse began to run and ran into a car park, and then, it sat down and went to sleep. Biff's mum looked at it and said, "The horse is drunk."
To be honest, I was surprised because I knew that rotten apple intoxicate a horse. This story is a bit strange but really interesting. If you haven't read this, please read.

Ireland

I didn't known about the history of Ireland, but after reading the book, I learned what Ireland is really like, what I can see there and what happened hundreds of years ago, in Irish history.     Especially, I was surprised at the story of the national flag of Northern Ireland. One day two different Vikings came to a beautiful place in Ulster and both of them wanted to live there. However, neither of them yielded, and as a result, they decided to fight. And a man from the second ship suggested that the first man who holds the land in his hand can keep it. They decided to race. So here goes the point, in the race, the man from the second ship cut off his hand with his sword, and threw the hand. In the end, the hand fell on the beach, so he won the race. That is the story of the Red Hand of Ulster.        I was very surprised and felt history when I learned that the national flag shows graphic thing like that.           I le

Hunter in the Darkness

However, in the morning, your world turns upside down. (p.2) But something is wrong. you feel strange. You want...blood! (p.36) You take a wooden stake in your hands, and push it through your heart. It also goes through Aku's heart behind you! (p.42) Book Review: Hunter in the Darkness, by Ramy Habeeb        This week I read Hunter in the Darkness. This book is a vampire story. This story made me excited and sad. I wrote down three quotes and will discuss them. The first one is: " However, in the morning, your world turns upside down." (p.2). I like this sentence because I feel the world changed, and I guessed something bad will happen. The second one is: " But something is wrong. you feel strange. You want...blood!" (p.36). Ilike this sentence because I was surprised. The vampire hunter turned into a vampire! The last one is: " You take a wooden stake in your hands, and push it through your heart. It also goes through Aku's heart

"Mudge!!" he called, one last time. And Mudge woke up from his lonely sleep, then came running. (P.33~34) Today, I read "Henry And Mudge". This book was so nice and made my heart warm. Henry loves Mudge, and Mudge loves Henry. Henry was alone until Mudge became a member of his family. When Mudge came his house first, he was little puppy. But he is huge now. I was so surprised.
