John F. Kennedy

 This week I read "John F. Kennedy".

"The biggest problem in the US was equal rights."

Some states in the US did not believe in equal rights for black Americans. They didn't allow black Americans to eat in the same restaurants as white Americans, or travel on the same buses, or buy things in the same shop. Kennedy said that all Americans must be able to eat lunch in the same restaurants, send their children to the best schools, and vote. He said the US 'will not be fully free until all citizens are free.' 


"Kennedy's greatest hope was for world peace."

He fought in World War Two himself, and he saw that war was a terrible thing in which million of people died. Kennedy did not want to start another war, and he did not want to go to war only because his military advisors told him to 'If countries can understand each other better,' he thought , 'they will not be so ready to fight,'


John F. Kennedy I know the name well, I have never had the opportunity to read a biography. This book is interesting. This book gave me opportunity to know him. If you interested in him, I recommend to read it!

Pocahontas

イメージ
  This week, I read "Pocahontas". This is a book about an woman who prevented war during two countries. When I started to read this book, I thought she would get married with John Smith who is a English leader, but they didn't get marry, and Pocahontas got marrired with another man.      "I loved you so much, but now I have a son and a husband, and they love me. You and I cannot be friends. Goodbye, John Smith."(p,39) This is Pocahontas's serif. I thought this part is interesting, because she blames him over and over, and I can understand her feeling. I couldn't understand Smith's feeling, and I was surprised at an unexpected development. This story was made into a movie by disney. I have never watched it, so I want to watch this movie, when I get a chance. Oxford Bookworms Library: Level 1: : Pocahontas 著者 : TimVicary Oxford University Press, USA 発売日 : 2007-12-06 ブクログでレビューを見る»
