My Favorite Character

Hello, everyone! As I said before, I’m going to write about my favorite character in Daddy-Long-Legs.

My favorite character is Jerusha Abbott. She has wonderful imaginations and is a good writer. In addition, she has a humor. She has a lot of charm. She is interested in everything, so she learns many things in a college and out of the college. And I think she is strong. She never changed her mind once she decided to do something. I want to be like her.

I think Daddy-Long-Legs is a very nice and interesting book. I strongly recommend you! If you like, read it during summer vacation!

Daddy-Long-Legs

Hello! I’m going to write about the new book, Daddy-Long-Legs.

Jerusha Abbott, a heroine in this book, is orphan and has great imagination. She is oldest in the asylum and has to go out there. However, fortunately, a kind trustee comes to support Jerusha and let her go college. The trustee believes that Jerusha has originality, and he is planning to educate her to be a writer. He kindly pays he school fees, and in return, Jerusha will write him letters every month. She will write about what she experienced, what she learned and so on. So, every month, Jerusha writes the trustee, Daddy-Long-Legs, many letters…

I’m going to write about my favorite character in this book!

The Difference between Japan and Britain

Hello, everyone! This time, I’m going to write about the difference between Japanese culture and British culture.

In one story in Mary Poppins, Jane, Michael and Mary Poppins go Christmas shopping!

So, what is Christmas shopping? I’ll tell you.

In Japan, many people spend their time with their family, friends, a girlfriend or a boyfriend not in Christmas Day but in Christmas Eve, right?

However, in Britain, people go Christmas shopping on Christmas Eve! They buy Christmas presents for their family and something they will need on Christmas Day. So, in Christmas Eve, most shops are crowded with a lot of people!!

It’s interesting culture, isn’t it?

I want to go Christmas shopping!

Now, I finish reading Mary Poppins, so in next blog, I’m going to write about a last book!

John and Barbara's Story

This time, I’m going to write about John and Barbara’s, the twins, story in Mary Poppins. This story is a little sad story.

One afternoon, the sunlight pours into the room where the babies are lying. “I say, move over! You’re right in my eyes.” John says to the sunlight. “Sorry!” says the sunlight. Yes, John and Barbara can talk with the sunlight. They can also understand what birds, wind and others say. Then, the Starling comes and talk with the twins. The twins say, “we wonder why Michael and Jane can’t understand what the Starling and others say.” “Because they’ve grown older,” explains Mary Poppins. The twins can’t believe and say they won’t become like Michael and Jane when the twins grow up. After some conversations, the Starling flies out of the room…

The Twins has their first birthday. The Starling comes back to the room and speaks to Barbara. But she says only “Be-lah-belah!” Then the Starling anxiously says to John, “What’s my name? What’s my name?” However, John says only “Er-umph!” “So, it’s happened,” the Starling says to Mary Poppins. She nods. “It’ll seem funny without them, though. Always liked talking to them—so I did. I shall miss them,” says the Starling and flies out of the room.

My favorite quotation

Hello! I’m going to write about my favorite quotation in the story I wrote in last post.

“She (Mrs. Corry) broke off two of her fingers and gave one each to John and Barbara. And the oddest part of it was that in the space left by the broken-off fingers two new ones grew at once.”

How amazing and surprising! This scene seems to be a little scary, but it isn’t horror. In fact, her fingers taste sugar. I want to try eating.

“When she (Mary Poppins) took her hand away they saw that she was sticking the Gingerbread Stars to the sky. As each one was placed in position it began to twinkle furiously, sending out rays of sparkling golden light.”

This is also an amazing situation, isn’t it? These stars are made of paper. I want to see this scene. This must be beautiful!

Next, I want to write another story in Mary Poppins!
