The Firm by John Grisham(1991)

This week I read “The Firm”. This story is about a man who work at law firm. I felt this story is a little bit difficult.

“You‘ll find the work takes at least eighty hours a week at first. And there’s always more if you want it. Everyone works a hundred hours a week during tax season.”(p.4)

       The main character was told about low firm’s work from worker. I thought this firm was busy and it’s hard to work at low firm. If I work a hundred hours a week, I definitely would get sick.

“‘Three things. First, don’t trust anymore. Second, every word you say, at home or in the office, is probably being recorded. ... Money doesn’t grow on trees.’”(p.16)

     The FBI talked to main character in the cafe and told about the firm’s secrets that he’ve never noticed. The low firm gave him a car and house and many recorders are attached everywhere. I felt so scary and I don’t want to talk anything when I heard this fact.

“‘No lawyer has ever left your firm alive,’”(p.31)

      The main character heard about many lawyer who tried to leave the firm were killed by the firm. He couldn’t believe at first but he thought that things his coworkers was dead by car accident was strange so he decided to cooperate with FBI. It was unbelievable for me that the law firm kills their own college.

Almost every chapter, a new character appeared so I was very confused their names. Also, the structure of sentence was complex. It was hard to read for me.

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.
