I read a book The Fifteenth Character. Main character is Sally Brown. She works at Happy Hills at her holiday because there are lots of exciting things to do. She is a student and she wants to be a teacher. The workers at Happy Hills arrive in the morning. They all clean green trousers and yellow shirts. They must smile a lot and be nice to all the visitors. Every morning, Mr. Parry puts a list of Job for Today in the worker's canteen. The visitors call him Ken, but the workers call him Mr. Parry. Maybe, the workers don't like him so much. Today sally arrives at Happy Hills at eight o'clock. Today' her job is Connie Cat. She is wrong because nobody likes wearing the costumes. But at Happy Hills the characters are very important. The visitors like to take photos of their children with Cowboy Joe, Charlie, baby Blue Eyes Photo Phil, Big John, Connie Cat, Big Apple, Miss Flower, Edward Elephant and all their friends. Edward Elephant has the best job. He has a bag of water under his costume. He can spray the visitors with water. And Photo Phil and Charlie Clown make everybody laugh. But Connie Cat cannot do that. She can only say miaow to the children all day. Today, Zapp who is a singer come there. Sally loves listening to his songs and she has all his CDs. There is a picture of him in her room too. He came there by Zapp-o-copter. He takes a CD out if his pocket. It’s his new song. The TV man asked him to sing his new song but he doesn’t sing. Zapp is having a wonderful day. Sally meets Zapp and she is very excited. She and William go to the canteen for their break. Then, a lot of people come into canteen. Zapp’s CD is stolen. So all worker search the CD. The police come too. The visitors have to leave there. Sally waits quietly with other workers. She looks at Mr. Parry’s Job for Today list. She notices certainly things. There are twenty nine names on the list. Fifteen people are helpers; fourteen people are characters and wear costumes. But there are fifteen characters there. She read the list. Charlie isn’t on the list but is there. Mr. Parry let character take off their heads. Charlie Clown is a woman. And she has Zapp’s CD. This book is easy to read for me. I want to read it again.

Book Review1-6 Love Story

The Love Story by Erich Segal is one of the most famous books written and features in just about every book lovers list of favorites. The story primarily revolves around two central characters from two contrastingly different financial backgrounds. One was the hero himself Oliver Barret or ollie hailing from the extremely rich Barret family and upon whom fate had without his consent dumped the great expectations which came as part and parcel of being a Barret descendant. On the other end is Jenny who hails from a mediocre family and whose passion in life is music and whose aim is to learn music.Contrasingly their relationship with their respective father's is also extremely different. Jenny is extremely attached to her father where as Mr. Oliver Barret often looks upon his father with contempt and refuses to either take his advice or his help in any matter. When these two people, existing in two different universes meet each other it starts of one of the greatest love stories of our times. They fall in love and get married even though they have to struggle to make ends meet initially .But with Oliver's education completed and a good job achieved their financial woes begin to ease out and the only thing missing in their seemingly perfect lives is a baby. But with no positive results investigations deliver the most devastating news this couple could imagine. Jenny is diagnosed with cancer and the predictions are grim, giving her only a few more days to live. It is in this time of trauma that Oliver looks to his father for financial help to carry out the treatment, but before he could come Jenny had already breathed her last at the tender age of 24 with millions of dreams unrealized. The emotions portrayed in the book are so real and so raw that it makes one connect to the characters almost instantaneously. Though both the Barret finally connect with one another on an emotional level ones mind cannot help but stray to the memories of jenny whose candle of life had been snuffed out so abruptly.

This is a story of three children, Roberta, Phyllis, and Peter, who live in a respectable suburban villa with a wonderful mother and father and a cook and servants, until one day great disgrace and poverty befalls them. Father is taken away to prison (but they do not know this at first), and they have to move to a poor cottage in the country near a railway line. Mother writes stories to earn what little they live on and they get used to being poor and have to learn not to steal coal from the railway station, even if they have so little to keep warm by. Sometimes they argue and have crises, as one does, but in time they make many new friends, and amusing adventures aplenty happen near the railway and the canal. They develop the habit of waving to the train as it goes past and sometimes the people in the coaches wave back. Their friendly habits makes them one special friend in particular, who although he mostly just goes by in the train, eventually gets to know them, and helps them out in various ways. And somehow all the good things that they do add up together and end up coming back to them, and there is happy ending to it all. (222wards)
