BR 1-03: The Best Part

  It's a shame you have to be the little dog" (p.6)

 Generally, many people want to play an important role when they have to be a actor. Angie also wants a main part when the first play of her cass is decided to "The Wizard of Oz" .  She wants to play the part of Dorothy, and she waits the time....  Then, when her teachter asks students who wants to beBut Dorothy, she puts her hand up for the part. However her teacher didn't see her.  As soon as she is disappointed, the teacher announces that there are one main partt left!!  Angie's hand rises up. It is the dog part.... There are a few laughs in the classroom.

 
 Is it a shameful thing to be a dog as a role?  I like dogs very much, however, when it comes to being a dog, I hesitate a little. What can I do as the role of a dog?  " I can't  be a dog." I thought so before I knew the action which Angie did.  At first, she thought she was reluctant to be a dog.  But she noticed that dogs can make people understand them without using any words and they can yap and growl.  She observed  a dog, and tried to become a dog perfectlly. It was the difficult and challenging work.
In this story, the hero girl, Angie was positive, even if she gets to play a role of dog. She thinks what to do and do her best.  I often encount something unwelcomed, but I can change the situation and get a big experience from it. This book made me reallize that, so I like this book.

BR 1-02: Parallel

  1. want to change, I want to be different. (p.30)

  Many people wouldn't believe the existence of parallel world.  At first, the hero character Max  did so.  He is a killer, so he has to be careful on the every situation. Therefore, it's so difficult  to make him believe the parallel world. 
  One day, a man comes to meet him who just have killed a woman.  Max never feel well after he kills someone.  He becomes nervous.  Regardless of Mike, however, the man asks him to go to the world where another Mike lives.  After all, he decides to go, but he is going  in a danger.



What is is the parallel world?  According to this book, there are many parallel worlds. And in every one of these worlds there's a you. The same people but they're a little different. For example, if all you were in the same situation, but what you chose as the next action would be different, which would make different stories about you. In other word,there are different you in another world!
There is a good idea about the parallel world in this book, so you can accept the story easily.   The story is really        interesting. And the the other reason why I like this book is because it makes me think what the other me is doing now!

BR 1-01: Book Boy

My name id David and I'm writing a book about my life. (P.7)




 Many people like books, and David loves books as well.  Books are his world. Books are his friends. He tries to write his story, but he don't have a life except books, his cat and pizza.  One day, he meets one girl who lives in a street. He speaks to her and proposes living together, which changes his life perfectly.


  This book's content is interesting but the world is a little unusual. David decides to live with a girl about whom he doesn't know at all and his world changes.  It can't happen in reality because most people don't accept strangers. However, that's why readers of this book can't expect how the plot is developing and can enjoy the story.  Then, the cat plays an active part in the book , and it's why I like this story. The main characters are not only David and the girl but also the cat.  Everyone has reapective story! This book is so fun, so I recommend it to people who want something strange in your world!
