But if I were paparazzi, I don't want to money with a picture which about bad event of famous person.

Jojo's Story

「jojo's story 感想」の画像検索結果"It's dark again. So it's evening. It's the third evening. No, I'm wrong. It's the fourth evening." (p.5)

  I don't know that this story is fiction or nonfiction but this maybe happen in the real world. I was very sad to this story, little boy was left alone in the village due to the civil war. If I were this boy, I could not stand this situation. This boy must have been scared. I was also shocked by the fact that he begun fighting with a handgun afterwards. I want peace to come early to civil war regions still.

Logan's Choice


「logan's choice 内容」の画像検索結果"Jenny Logan was an inspector in the Edinbutgh Poice." (p.5)

   I think that Logan's intuition is very sharp. I could not predict anyone who was the criminal. But I thought that suspicious person disliked talk or acted furiously. If I were a police officer, I could not fix the incident. I respected the police again. 
    We could not expect when the murder case will happen around us. I hope that it will not happen for the rest of my life.

Love or Money?

love or money に対する画像結果"Suddenly there was a cry from the room next to Roger's, his mother's room". (p.11)

   I think that it is very sad to kill relatives for maney. Even if we don't have enough money, we can live happily. Certainly rich people can buy anything that they want to. But, rich people are not always happy. There are hapiness that can't be bought by money. So it is ridiculous to commit a crime for money.
   When I bought the things which I want to with money I earned, I feel happy. So I absolutely don't want to commit a crime for money.

The Importance of Being Earnest

"I always told you, Gwendolen, that my name was Earnest, didn't I?" (p.78)

   Earnest had told a lie that his name was Earnest to become both thoughts with woman who he loved. But, after all, his real name was "Earnest". This is the scene that he knew his real name.
「the importance of being earnest」の画像検索結果    The title of this story is "The Importance of Being Earnest". But, the main character is not earnest. So I couldn't understand why this is the title. After I read this story, I noticed that it is important to name "Earnest". The punch line was funny.

Mowgli's Brothers

"It's time for me to go to men." (p.72)
「Mowgli's Brothers」の画像検索結果
   The scene was about the boy who was raised by the animals backed to the human world. I learned about "Wolf Child" in class. This boy was educated after coming back to the human world. But it was so difficult. And finally the education was interrupted on the way. In this class, I learned that human beings are greatly affected by early childhood education. So in this story, this boy must have faced a lot of difficulties.
   I was surprised when I read this story. I felt that animals are the same creatures as human beings. So we should get along with animals.

The Stolen White Elephant

“ Hurray for the police force! Here is your elephant!” (p. 52)
 
the stolen white elephant 本 に対する画像結果  When the elephant was found, he was dead. But I couldn’t understand why the elephant died. Before the elephant was found, he was violent and he killed or hurt many people. I couldn’t find the scene that he died. In my guess, he was shot many times but he kept running away.
   This story has a statement that “the royal white elephant is very important”. Even though the white elephant died, when the elephant was found, celebrations began. So I did not understand this scene.
  
   If the elephant escape in Japan, I am too scared to live normaly. And I was surprised that elephant eat human. So I thought that the elephant we see in the zoo is realy violent.
