The Black Tulip

The story takes place in the Netherlands in the 17th century. There was a rich young man named Cornelius and an old horticulturist named Isaac, both known as tulip gardeners. One day, the horticultural society offered a prize of 100,000 guilders to anyone who could grow a black tulip. Cornelius and Isaac were determined to win the honor.

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»
