I read American Life.
Most people around the world know something about American life. We can see American movies on TV, listen to American music, and eat in American restaurants.
Of course, Americans are not all the same. The United States of America is a big coutry. There are many different ways of life. New York City is one of the most exiting and famous city in the world, but life there is not the same as life in a small American town. I saw the many faces of American life in this book.
Do you know how many people move to the U.S. every year? The answer is 750,000! Recently, many different kinds of people lived in the U.S. In 1798, more than 60% came from Britain, Ireland, Germany, and France. About 20% came from Africa, but they were slaves. Between 1880 and 1914, most immigrants cane from south and west of Europe. Today, most immigarants are from Latin America and Asia.
America is a big country. Americans loves their cars. There are 200,000,000 cars on the road. Only 5% of Americans catch buses and trains to work. In most states, American can drive when they are sixteen. Life without cars is difficult. Schools, stores, and work are usually a long way from home. When I visited the United States, I saw a lot of Japanese cars. When I saw them, I felt that Japan and America are close. In Montana, on some roads, you can drive as fast as you can. I want to go and drive there someday!
We can watch American movies in Japan. American movie-makers make about 570 movies each year. Not only American people but also people in many other countries love these movies.
Today, the name Hollywood means movies. Before 1910, Hollywood was only a small town near Los Angeles. Movie-makers moved there from New York because they wanted the Californian sun. Their job was easier with good weather.
There are many differences between American life and Japanese life. But I like both of them. I want to visit to America again.

Book review2-16
Guccio Gucci, who was a creator of Gucci, was born in 1881 in Florence, Italy. When he was 19 years old, he went to London and England and worked at the famous Savoy Hotel. There were rich people who wore nice clothes and jewelry in the hotel and he often saw these people. It gave him many ideas for his future.
In 1901, he went back to Florence and met Aida Calvelli who became his wife. Aida made clothes and he learned about money and customers and gradually he wanted to sell leather products so he found a new job. One Sunday in 1921, he and Aida went for a walk around Florence and saw a little store and he wanted to have a store. Then, he bought a little store.
Guccio and Aida had six children, five sons and one daughter. Everybody in my family helped at the store. Guccion and Aida made luggage and leather products for horses and sold them and their children took packages to customers on their bikes. One day, Guccio had a good idea. He wanted to use the designs of the leather products for horses and make handbags, so the famous Gucci GG logo came from a strap and the Gucci lines of green/red/green came from the design of a horse's saddle.
Many people liked these products and in 1937, he moved the company to a larger place. The Gucci logo became famous in Italy. Gucci became more and more famous and the family opened a store in Rome.
Guccio wanted all of sons to work for the company but one of the sons died when he was nine years old and the other son wasn't interested in the family company. He liked movies and he became a movie actor.
In 1953, Guccio Gucci died and gave the company to his sons. His sons opened a store in New York. Gucci name was very famous and meant beautiful Italian fashion around the world.
In the 1960s, one of his sons made Gucci a greater success in the United States. He opened stores in Chicago, San Francisco, and Beverly Hills and in 1965, he opened the first Gucci store in Japan.
In the 1970s and in the 1980s, Gucci products became very famous and rich people wore Gucci clothes and used Gucci products. Gucci became too famous so the Gucci logo went out of fashion; however, today, Gucci is in fashion again.
Maurizio, who was the last of the family at Gucci, was shot outside of his office by somebody. He worked hard for two years but he died. Many people talked about it and it was very big news. In the case, Patrizia Reggiani Marintelli, who was Maurizio's wife from 1976 to 1990, wanted more money from him and she paid people and they killed Maurizio for her. Patrizia and they are now in prison.
Now Gucci is very famous!! Gucci has fashion shows and Gucci has a famous fashionroom in Florence, Italy. Also, Gucci sells its perfumes and we can see Gucci productions on the newspaper or on the Internet. Many people wear Gucci clothes and have Gucci products and Gucci is loved by people around the world.
I also like Gucci. Gucci products are cute and we can use them for a long time. I didn't know who was creator of Gucci. He started a little store and he succeeded. It is great and I think Gucci will become famous more and more.

I read Animal in Danger.
There are more than thirty million species of the animal in the world but some of these species disappear every year and we never see them again. If all animals disappear in the world, what happen to us? I think we can't live without animals. We are given many things from animals so we have to help them because people and animals live in one world and protecting animals is protecting our world.
A million years ago, there were many species of animals than there are now. It is natural that some species disappear but recently its speed is faster than before. Weather is changing and it affects their extinction. Also, making new roads, moving rivers, or taking away trees affects their extinction. Animals are in danger because human beings damage their ecology and because of natural accidents.
Some dolphins live in rivers and some live in the sea. Recently, environment of the water changed. Most of river and sea became dirty so dolphins can't see well in the water. There is much noise in the water so they can't talk with other dolphins. This changing is by human beings.
There are birds which are needed to help by people, for example, Kakapos. They can't live with people or other animals. They can't have many babies and they can't fly like other birds. People protect them and they prepare quiet place for Kakapos. Then they can make new house and can live freely.
In the world, there are many kinds of animals but recently many animals are in danger. People have to think it and we must act for them. If we aren't change our life style, maybe many kinds of animals will die. Animals are very important for people and our life. Also, I think I have to think about animal and their life.

Somebody ran up behind her, hit her on the head, and snatched her bag out of her hands. She saw a tall young man with long, dirty brown hair. This man's name was Jason Williams. He stole a little money and a lottery ticket from Emma. He was angry because there weren't lots of money.
One day, he opened a newspaper and found the winning lottery numbers: 5, 12, 23, 24, 38, 41. He checked the lottery ticket. Six winning numbers! The lottery ticket which he stole from Emma had winning numbers. He was a winner. He got a cheque from Sunshine Lotteries for five million pounds!
Emma was watching TV and saw Jason. She found the guy who snatched her bag and her lottery ticket. She called a police. Police caught Jason and asked him many questions. However Jason lied. He wanted five million pounds so he asked for lawyer's help! However, he didn't notice that the lawyers are expensive! At the end of court, all money will go to lawyers.

When he met her, he fell in love with her! He thought about her all days. Carla also liked him so they got married. Carla bought a hotel for Dino. He was very happy until he found out that Carla didn't want him to go anywhere without her. He also found out that Carla had a husband and she killed him before Carla and Dino got married. Carla was a very crazy woman! He wasn't happy with her anymore. A week went by, Dino needed some new waiters and waitresses for his hotel. Maria Luca, the girl who worked with him at the Hotel Grand, came there. Dino was very happy to see her and was glad to work with her again. They fell in love. Carla was very angry about it. One day, Dino decided to leave the hotel with Maria. They got a gondola. Carla wanted to kill Dino and Maria. However, the fireboat went into Carla's hotel boat.

I read a book called Different Worlds. Samantha was a main character in the story. She was deaf. This story was about Sam's love story with Jim, who was not deaf. Jim was working at the shop across the road from her house. She watched him from her bedroom window. Until she first saw him, she didn't think very often about being deaf. However, after she saw Jim, she wanted to be like most other people. Every Saturday, she went to the shop to buy something. One day, she bought a newspaper. Jim talked to her but she was embarrassed to talk with him because she was deaf. She just smiled and left the shop. She felt sad.
Ron, Sam's best friend, knew about Jim so he invited her to go to a party. They went to a party and Sam saw Jim. Sam and Jim played with snow. They had a really good time until a girl in the red dress came.
Sam liked Jim and Jim liked Sam. They started going out. She was very happy being with him. However, the girl in the red dress told Sam that she was Jim's girlfriend before Sam. She told Sam about Jim's music band and she wanted Sam to stay away from Jim. Sam was very sad.
One night, Sam's mother invited Jim to have dinner at Sam's house. Jim told Sam about Lauren and his musical band. Jim loved Sam very much. At last, she was happy ever after.
This story was interesting. I could feel how deaf people were thinking. I think it is very difficult for Sam and Jim to communicate. I thought it is like to communicate between people speak other languages. I often have problems speaking English. However, if we try to understand, we could understand well! The important thing to understand people is not only languages but also our hearts.

I read a book called The Cay. Philip, a young white American boy, was a main character in the story. He lived on the Dutch island of Curacao. At the time, there was fighting all round the world. Philip's mother, Grace, wanted to go back to Virginia with Philip. One Friday morning, Philip and his mother rode the SS Hato, a small and smoky Dutch ship. Two days after they left Curacao, the Germans attacked the SS Hato. There was a big explosion. They rode a lifeboat then something hit Philip hard on the head. A long time later, Philip opened his eyes. There was a bad pain in his head. There was a very big, old black man next to him. His name was Timothy. They were the only two people in the lifeboat. While they were in the lifeboat Philip went blind. One day, they found the island. It was the Cay. They started to live there and waited for help. Philip was afraid when he was alone because of his blind eyes. Philip thought he couldn't do anything without Timothy. Timothy knew what Philip thought. Timothy helped Philip. Sooner, Philip could do almost everything by himself. After strong winds, Timothy was dead. Philip was very sad but he could do live by himself now. One day, a plane found him and he could go back to his father and mother again! In a hospital in New York, Philip saw some of the best doctors in the State and he started to see again!
