I’m going to review of two books I read.

(Ⅰ)　　　I read “Newspaper boy” by John Escott. It was published by Macmillan.

This story is about a boy who delivered newspapers to people’s houses. The boy’s name was Toby. He wanted to be a detective. One day, when he delivered a newspaper to a house, the house was robbed. Toby and the proprietor were caught by thieves. The proprietor was stolen a large sum of money. Then, Toby said to thieves, “there was an accident.” The thieves who heard the fact tried to avoid the accident. However, the thieves who were tricked by Toby were trapped by police by ambush. Toby was deeply grateful by the proprietor.

In this story, I felt that man who has something goal succeed. For example, Toby had a dream of becoming a great detective, so he had just a good idea. However, I thought Toby was a risky boy because he told a lie to two thieves. If his lie was exposed, he might be killed by the thieves. I thought this story tell me about a brave heart.

(Ⅱ)　　　　 I read “Rich man, Poor Man” by T.C.Jupp. It was published by Macmillan.

This story is about a poor old man who lived in a small village. He received a letter and a money order from his son who lived in London. He was poor man, so he was glad about it. Then, he went to a town where it was far from here. He went to the town despite he had to spend a lot of money. However, he didn’t have an Identity Card, so he couldn’t get any money. Next, he went to a photo studio to have him photograph taken, but he was taken two pound fifty away from the photographer and he couldn’t have him photograph taken. Then, he met a rich man and the rich man said him to change the money order. However, he was given a little money. That’s why, the old man felt poor again.

In this story, I felt that the world is really inequality. I don’t think people who have a lot of money are in high position. I also thought there are many bad people in the world. Rich men acts important and poor men are pressed for money. I hope the world will be a better and equality world. I was fascinated by this story. If I become a rich woman, I will never act important.
