" Sabriel " ----- I am a HERO !!

"Sabriel" is my third independent reading book of this school year (2008~2009). I choose this book because my sister read it before and I got some good comments from her. Actually, I am a younger sister that always "follows" my older sister. It seems that I am her "shadow", right?


(--......--;) However, today's topic is "Sabriel" !!!





"Sabriel" is a pretty hard book, but I think it's a exciting book. It's about MAGIC & SORCER!!(...>v<...) Sabriel was a girl who went through the Wall to get into the mystercies and dangerous place, the Old Kingdom, in order to find her "father" and discovered the whole secret which was hidden there. I dreamed about that I was the main character of an adventure story when I was just a little child. I daydreamed that I am going to save the whole Earth with my partners someday.Was I silly? I love to put myself as the main character and dream a adventure story, even though it's now!! (> v <)
I am a HERO !! ( >o+")

2nd Reading Reflection —— The Sisterhood of The Traveling Pants




The Sisterhood of The Traveling Pants
was my first independent reading book of the fall semester of 2008. Actually, I didn't have special feeling when my sight connected with the book cover at first. My older sister had read this book last year and she said it was a good book though. This reason changed my mind and brought enough attraction to me with this book. After, I had the same feeling as my sister. It taught me so many lesson while I was reading it.
Sometimes, I refused to accept "new" things. I really knew that "changing" wasn't bad for me, but I just didn't want to face the "new" things. You may think that I was a freak, I hated that feeling, and I was afraid the time of changing. However, I still had to face it because "life loves 'changing.' " In this book, the four main characters, Tibby, Bridget, Lena, and Carman, needed to accept the change of their life. Tibby needed to accept the life without Bailey. Bridget needed to face the sadness after Eric refused her. Carman needed to accept her new life with her father's new family. Lena changed her life because of Kostos. Sometimes, "changing" might bring you sadness, but "So What ?" I learned that I need to be brave to face "changing". This was the point why life is so interesting because you couldn't know what is going to happen next. If I didn't read this book, it means I couldn't realize this fact.


Actually, my reading speed is faster than before this semester, which means reading really helps with my reading speed. It also helps me to know more about the other countries. Every country has its cultures. I can know more about the other countries through reading. For example, sausages are came from German. Vodka means "water" in Russian, which means Vodka=water, which means they drink Vodka as water everyday!!! This is just my opinion... I want to read more and learn more about different kind of things through reading. I want to learn more extra knowledge other than from the textbook. This brings me the biggest interest to keep me read. Also, it may be the reason why I need "glasses" these wonderful things. ( >v< ) XXXXXXXXXD
