Title : Cinderella by Carlisle’s girl (happily ever after)

Summary :

Ella sat by the fire place and gazed into the fire, her favorite book clutched in her hands, a gift from her father who is dead now. Now, she lived with her step mother and two step sisters. One day, there was an invitation letter from the Kingdom; the prince was looking for his princess. Ella wanted to go there, but her step mother and her step sisters left her in the house. When she was crying, the fairy used her magic to change Cinderella's dress and got her to the castle. There, she met a handsome prince who fell in love with her at the first sight. She realized that she was bad, so she said good bye to the prince. Then, she went back to her house with her step mother who knew that there was Cinderella. Her step sisters laughed and insulted her because she was stupid to leave the prince. Five years later Ella stood with her sisters as they got married with two men from the town. She smiled truly happy that they had found their perfect men. They were set to have chubby cheeked children, but still no happily ever after for Ella. Ella isn’t a servant anymore but she still lives with her step mother who is an old woman. Ella has decided she doesn’t need a happily ever after because that is not an ending. It is just a pause.

About the story :
The story is nice to read. It’s fun and far from boring. It explains the event in details, but doesn’t exaggerate the fact. It gives the readers somewhat a right portion of text. Since it’s made for children, the vocabularies used are quite common. However, the structure of the sentences and the style of the direct speeches are not very common . The story tells us not to lie. No one believes a liar, even when he says the truth.

This is a science mystery. It used second point of view (you). The story begins when “you” arrive at a killer bee research center in Amazon river. “You” meet Jorge and he leads “you” to the lab. There “you” and Jorge find Dr. Hernandez unconscious and the killer bees are released. (that’s all I have read)

Rain Forest

I read an article about Rain forest.

Comments
  • I like the article because of several reasons. First, because I like to climbing mountains. I chose this topic. Second, this article gave me a lot of information about rain forest. Last, all forest in Indonessia are rain forest so I have to know about rain forest better than anyone in this world.
  • I have learnt so many things from this article, not only from the language I could learnt expressions which were I never found before such as “the most complex interdependence of plants and animals”, ”temperature latitudes”, “tropical rain forest” and “temperature rain forest”. Second, I also learn about the rain forest. For instance, there are two types of rain forest, tropical rain forest. The location of tropical rain forest are in Brazil and South East Asia including Indonesia while the location of temperate rain forest are in Chile, North America and the South part of Australia.

The story is using second person point of view. The main character,”you” is a new member of an organization to research about bee. It is in the Amazon Jungle. When he enters the main tent where the head of that organization stays, he finds out that Dr. Hernandez, the head, is attacked by swarms of killer bees.

The River of Venom

The River of Venom, a science fiction mystery that is used second person point of view. The story asks the readers to imagine about the story. It was in the jungle. The main character came to research place; but there was a bad thing happened. The doctor on the research lab found unconscious because of stung by bees. Actually, the doctor got another sickness from something mysterious. The reader have to choose some choices to know the ending of the story; but the story is really long.

Comments
  • I do not really like the story, because I have to make many cliks in the monitor to know the rest of the story. I also have to think and guess what happen next. I think I prefer to read the story which has easy to understand, but still can entertain the reader.
  • I learned some vocabulary from science world. Yet, some of them difficult to understand. Sometimes I asked my friend in the middle of the activity to know the meaning the difficult words.
