"This is truly a fairy-tale ending!"
There was once a wicked demon who made a magic mirror. This mirror made everything good look twisted and ugly. Anything bad looked even worse. However, the mirror broke into a million tiny pieces. If a splinter struck a person's heart, that heart began to freeze.
Not long after the mirror shattered, Greda and Kay are best friends. One winter's day, Greda's grandmother told them the story of the Snow Queen. After they listened to this story, Kay met a beautiful woman by snow. However, he forgot all about Snow Queen. Then one day, they stayed together. Then, Kay suddenly changes.
Kay was trapped by the Snow Queen. The Queen kissed him and his icy heart grew colder. She kissed him again and he forgot all about home.Kay had gone with the Snow Queen.
Greda searched this trouble. She went to trip because she wanted to search Kay. After that, she overcame a lot of difficulties. Each time, she was helped by a lot of kind people, a helpful princess, the crow, the little robber girl, and the other.
At last, Gerda arrived the snow castle. Inside a cold, empty hall, Kay was puzzling over the Snow Queen's challenge. He sat still, thinking hard...so still that he seemed frozen stiff. Gerda found him, but he didn't move. She didn't know what to do, and she hold him tight. Then, hot tears dripped from her nose onto Kay's chest. They reached right through to his heart, thawing the ice and washing away the splinter of glass. Kay remember all things. Kay was free! So, Kay and Gerda escaped from the Snow Queen. They had very strong heart! The Snow Queen was furious but there was nothing she could do.
At long last, they arrived at Greda's house. Greda and Kay hugged the grandmother over and over. "This is truly a fairy-tale ending!" cried the grandmother and the roses in the window box nodded their heads, as if to agree.
I thought friendship is very wonderful. I want to be kind such as Greda.

Hi Akino,
ReplyDeleteThough you seem to be producing quite a few book reviews, they also seem to include far too much story-telling–including how stories end, and not enough reviewing from a reader's (your own) perspective. You should explain why you chose the books you've read, whether and why you enjoyed reading them, what you learned, and whether you recommend them to your classmates and peers.
For short references in parentheses in the post titles, you need only include the authors' family names and years of publication. The same for short references with page numbers at the end of quotations. In complete references that you list at the end of your BR posts, there is no need for quotation marks around the titles. Just use italics and Title Case.
Please also use either "fiction" or "non-fiction" as one of your BR labels, instead of "writing." I'd like you to reserve the latter for reflective writing about writing.
Cheers, PB
