Book review-15

This week, I read "The Last of the Mohicans" written by James Fenimor Cooper.

he wrote the six "Leather stocking Tales", about Indians and white men. The Last of the Mohicans(1826) was the fifth of these six books.

In The Last of the Mohicans, Cooper writes about the fight between the French and the British in North America in 1757.

The story is also about the fight between white men and Indians.

Cooper wanted women to like his book, so, he wrote about love too.

I learned about "The Last of the Mohicans" in introduction of american literature's class.

So, I'm interested in "The Last of the Mohicans", and I read.

I recommend to read this book. Because in this book, written about love, fight, and friendship.

Last Monday

I met with my boyfriend. I had classes till 16:10, so I went home early.
We went to Home center Sanko, and I bought a lot of things. then, we went to Mt. Kinpo to see night view.
We can see Uto, Kumamoto port, Kawachi, and Nagasaki very near.
I'm very surprise because if we go to from Uto to kawachi by a car, it took long time, but from Mt. Kinpo, we can see from uto to Kawachi point-blank.
Night view was very beautiful. If you have chance, please go to Mt. Kinpo.

Book review-12

this week, I read "CALIFORNIA" written by John escott.
Americans call california 'The gold state'. Because California has gold and silver in the mountains.
So, there is Golden gate bridge.
In California, there is China Town. By 1850 there were about 4,000 chinese people living in San Francisco, to work in the gold mines, and to build the railway.
There are many parks. for example, Yosemite Nation Park, and Kings canyon National Park.
These parks has a lot of nature.
In California, there is The Hollywood sign and disney land.
I want to go to California and want to see the Hollywood sign and Golden Gate Bridge, and want to visit Disney land.
