I would reccomend this book because I like the friendship in the book.Of course,there are some fearful scenes,but they are also exciting.
I'm wondering if I'm ready for a high level book.

ReplyDeleteDr Jekykll and Mr Hyde
Level 4
This is a horror story, but worth to think about the content.
1. This story is about having 2 sides of characterlistics in one person. Dr Jekyll is a very clever scientist and he explores new medicine that you can turn into another characteristics. He uses that medicine and acts 2 person.
2. He first investigates some medicines that can turn you into the 2nd characteristic. He first thought to become 2nd person for only once. However, he kept on drinking the medicine. He finally kills people and people around him started to think about Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde's similarities. Then, he tried to stop being Mr.Hyde, but unfortunatelly, he couldn't help being Mr.Hyde. At last, he cannot return to Dr.Jekykll. He is Mr.Hyde now. At some moment, he returns to Jeykll but sooner he returns to Hyde. At last, he dies in Mr.Hyde's body.
3. I recommend this book because this story is very interesting and very thoughtful. It is not other people's story. It can be happen to us also. There is some news about people having 23 different characteristics in one person because of his background memory. So this might be a serious problem we should think about in our daily life.
4. I might stay at this level for right now.

Romance
My favorite part is the last of this book. A beautiful girl Bathsheba got married with 2 men before. The terrible thing happened and 2 men left her and she became alone. Then she realized that the most important man is Gabriel Oak, the shepard. She visited his house and heard his desition and he asked her to marry to him and then she finally accepted it. They had happy life afterwards.
I like Gabriel Oak so I really happy that Bathsheba decided to get married with him. This story is very complicated but I enjoyed reading and thinking what each character think and act.
