book review ☆4

I read A WHITE HERON and Other American Short Stories. This book has 5 great short stories written by famous American writers.

The first story is A WHITE HERON written by Sarah Orne Jewett. -- Sylvia, a little girl who is afraid of people and loves the woods, meet a man and make friends with him. He is her first friend, and he wants to find a strange white bird. However sylvia protects the white heron even if she lose a friend. I felt her kind mind and strong courage.

The second story is The Story of Hour written by Kate Chopin.-- A young woman hears her husband's death, and she changes suddenly. I was a little afraid of her.

The third story is The Complete Life of John Hopkings written by O. Henry.-- This is about people who live in the Big City. Different things happen in the Big City.

The fourth story is Luck written by Mark Twain. I like the story the best in this book. This is a general's story. The story tells us, "Intelligence is not so important. Luck is more important!"

The fifth story is The Tell-Tale Heart written by Edgar Allan Poe. This is a man who is very afraid's story. The man says, "I'm not a crazy person!" But I think he is very crazy(^-^;). If you read this story, you will think so.
