The Princess and the Pea

First, he put a tiny pea on a bed. Second, he piled 20 mattresses on top of the pea. Third, he piled 20 quilts on top of the mattresses. (P.8 and 9)
Today I read "The Princess and the Pea". To be honest, I thought this story is a bit strange. I don't completely understand why a real princess could feel a tiny pea under 20 mattresses and 20 quilts. That's impossible.

Ireland

       Today, I'm going to write about a book, 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.

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.

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.
