the Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux (2002)

     This week I read the Phantom of the Opera.I had known this book but I had never read this story so this was the first time to read.

Faust sang to her and Margarita replied, but not in her beautiful voice, but with the voice of a toad: "Co-ack!" (p.28)
     Managers received a letter from the Opera ghost and he requested some thing. But managers didn't believe that letter was sent by the Opera ghost.
But when Carlotta sang on stage, the strange voice came out from her mouth. I think this scene is a little funny because some people died in this story. This was not so scary for me.


"Poor Erik!" Who was this Erik? And why was Christine pitying Erik when Raul was so unhappy?(p.35)
      I thought that the Opera ghost was real ghost or phantom. But I first leaned about the ghost was not real ghost who had a name and alived. I also thought that how did he crash the chandelier on the head of woman and spoke to her without him body.


"Yes, she was wating for me. And when I came forward, she did not run away ... and I kissed her on the forehead! Oh, how good it is to kisa somebody on the forehead! My mother, doraga, my poor, unhappy mother never ... let me kiss her ... She used to run away(...) "(p.79~80)
      Before I read this scene, I thought he was cruel. But after read this scene, I feel sad and lean about why did he become a cruel man.  I think he needed a true lone and he wanted to love from someone. At first, I thought this book was just horror story but now I think this is not only horror story.

There was many people in this story so I was confused with names. But this is good story. Not only scary but also interesting.
I want to watch this story  in a musical!

Ireland by Tim Vicary

    This week I read "Ireland."  As the title this book is written about Ireland' s history, culture and so on.    This book consists of 12 chapters.  I think this book mainly tells about Ireland's history. Chapter1and 2 are about nature of Ireland. "Ireland is an island like a plate"(p.2)    I think this is a good example. I thought that's like a shape of Kumamoto. Kumamoto is also surrounded by mountains so I could imagine easily.   Chapter3 tells about Celtic people. "The  Celts are . . . tall and strong."(p.5)    When I was a junior high school student, my English teacher was a Irish man. Now the reason why he is tall is that he got Celtic people's gene. I think. Fron chapter 4 to chapter8 are about Ireland's history. "You can see the Red Hand on the flags of Northern Ireland."(p.11)    There is a story of Ulster's flag. A man cut off his hand to get a place in Ulster so there is a red hand on Ulster's flag.    Cha

The Moneymaker by Janet Gleason (1999)

   I read “The moneymaker.” As written, this story is about money.    John Law was gambler, murderer and adventure. He tried to spread an idea of paper money in Paris.   Before the paper money invented, people used  gold and silver as way to buy things in Europe. But there were not many gold and silver so countries had to pay back a lot of debt. Law thought that the paper money system is the only way to solute the problem. He had many good feiends but also had many enemies. Good friends helped him to spead his idea, enemies tried to disturb him. He overcame many difficulties and he was very lucky man. He lost all his money once, but he always won gambling and got a huge amount of money. However, when he was dead, the paper money system was still doubtful.    Paper money system is normal to us now, I can't imagine the world that we don't use paper money.    This book was difficult for me because level is 5 and the story is very long so it took long time to finished reading.
