ROBINSON CRUSOE WEEK9

Hi. I began to reading a new book! The title is "Robinson Crusoe". I'm sure that you have heard the title before. It is so so sooo famous! However I have never read the story despite that I know the name of the story. That's why I chose the story.

~ROBINSON CRUSOE~
Robinson Crusoe was born in York, a city in the north of England in 1632. He had an affluence life with his family. His father who had come to England from Germany was a clever man and he said to Robinson "Stay in York. I will help you with money and a job. You can be happy here." However, Robinson left his home without saying nothing because he decided to go to sea on the ship of his friend's father with the friend. But the first journey was interrupted because of a heavy storm. Although the friend's father said him " Go home. The sea is not the place for you.", he couldn't give up to go to sea. So, he left his friend and the father and found a man with a ship. He went to Brazil and after that he left Brazil for Africa with eleven crews and they could find an island. Then,they were involved in a great storm and all of the crews dead except Robinson.

Robinson arrived the island on his own but no one was living there. His new life in the unpopulated island started!

He brought tools and food from his ship, but it sank to the sea with his crews for a few weeks.
Therefore, he hunted animals and ate fruits in the island, and he made his own house, clothes and garden. His life in the island was getting better and better, so he was feeling comfortable for his new life.

I can understand his feeling which he wanted to sail on the great sea. But the sea is strict and dangerous. Robinson is a really luckey and burly man!

AN IDEAL HUSBAND WEEK8

Hi, I had a great time in this weekend. Did you have?
Anyway, it's today's post.

~AN IDEAL HUSBAND(FINAL)~
Lord Goring received a letter from Lady Chiltern because she wanted him to ask about her husband. She guessed Lord Goring knew something about her husband's secret. She really wanted his help,so the letter said that she wanted him ,she trusted him ,she was coming to him, Gertrude. It was an ambiguous writing for other people.

Then, Mrs Cheveley visited him,but he was meeting with his father about marriage, so she was waiting other room for a while. In the room, she found the letter and read it. Finally, she stole it because she thought that she could use the letter to persuade Sir Robert accepting her plan. However, Lord Goring noticed it later and got back it from her.

They used to be lovers,but Mrs Cheveley hadn't understood the true love. She was always persisting in money and position and feeling lonely because she didn't know how she loved someone. Mrs Chevely said to Lord Goring what she should have done and she wanted him love her. But He just told her that she could never understand the love.

At last, the problem was solved and Sir Robert didn't lose his honest, position and wife. Lord Goring also decided to marry to Sir Robert's sister, Miss Mabel Chiltern.

It was happy ending except Mrs Cheveley. I think that there are no happiness if you try plunging someone into difiicult situation.

Next week, I'm going to read a new book!

AN IDEAL HUSBAND WEEK7

Hi, It's NOVEMBER!
I've started to read a new book, "An Ideal Husband" written by Oscar Wilde in 1895.
The story is one of Wild's four  comical plays and it was made into a movie in the UK in 1999.

~AN IDEAL HUSBAND~
In London , Sir Robert Chiltern was a succuessful politician and an honest man. He also had good-looking and intellegient face. Moreover, he was a devoted husband for his beautiful Lady Chiltern. He was indeed the ideal husband!

However, his perfect life was begun to break down becasuse of Mrs Cheveley who knew his past. She visited him and asked to join force her Argentine Canal plan, but Sir Robert rejected the cooperation becasuse the plan was criminal plan. But then, Mrs Chevely said to him that she was going to tell his dangerous secret to an  English newspaper if he rejected her plan. Actually, he had sold a government secret to a businessman to get a large sum of money in the past. No one knew the secret except Mrs Cheveley and his old friend, Baron Arnheim. If the secret was spread, his perfect life would collapsed. So, he accepted the proposal.

After that, his wife, Lady Chiltern knew that her husband decided to support the Argentine Canal plan which he objected against till a short while ago. She couldn't understand him and let him wrote a letter to Mrs Chevely about refusing the plan. Sir Robert never told his wife the truth because he was afraid of losing her love. His wife hated dishonest things. But, Mrs Chevely exposed his wife about his dangerous secret and her husband confessed what he had done before. Lady Chiltern was disappointed. The situation what Sir Robert was afraid happened.

I  don't feel that there is a perfect man in the world. Everyone has a weak point and an unpleasant past. I'd like to know what Sir Robert do next!
