The Great Discovery by Mandy Loader

     This week, I read "The Gret Discovery." I choose this book just looking the design of the front cover. However, this story is about treasure from the lost tomb of Queen Cleopatra and I am very interested in history of Egypt. Also, I went to Kumamoto-jo hall to see an exhibition for mummies around the world few days ago, so I am glad to read this book.

     I will talk about the content. Archeologist Tim Saunders sit opposite a mysterious girl on a train in Egypt. He noticed the bracelet she's wearing. He thought it may be a treasure from the lost tomb of Queen Cleopatra and asked her about it. After that, she took him to her house. Her father showed many Cleopatra's treasures to him.  That was great discovery. He wanted to take pictures but refused, so he drew pictures. He presented about the great discovery of the treasures because he wanted to be a famous. After the presentation, he arrested by Egyptian police because police thought he had got the treasure. That treasure that he drew was stolen and the woman and her father disappeared so he couldn't prove he hadn't got the treasure.

     This story is very interesting and words are not  difficult. If you are interested in history of Egypt, you would be enjoy the book !

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.
