Title:The Secret Soldier
Author:Ann McGovern
illustrator:Harold Goodwin

Deborah Sampson grew up during the war for American Independence. During that time, they expected young girls to get ready for marriage then settle down. Deborah did not choose that, she wanted to have adventures. So secretly she snuck into the army. You will be amazed how she does it and what wild adventures she will have!
The Secret Soldier is a tearjerker story. I really enjoyed this book because I sometimes like sad stories and it was a challenging book. My favorite part was when she helped a hurt soldier because she left the group and stayed at a cruel Tory's house. The Tory was mean because he still wanted England to rule them. As I read the book I was about to cry because of the terrifying chapters that seemed like they would never end.

I recommend this book to everyone who likes tearful stories and who likes to challenge themselves. The writing style is wonderful because of the descriptions.

我認為功課還是自己做的好.

希望幫到你.

還希望不會有人為了幫人而淪為鎗手.

christmas carol (charles dickens) 的閱讀報告..

→A Christmas Carol is more a Christmas carol. Christmas Carols are deemed to be an indispensable component for Christmas to spread joy and hope in general. However, does anyone ever imagine that there is such a powerful Christmas carol in the world that can radically alter a callous man from loathing the world to enjoying the world, from ignoring people to loving people? The Christmas Carol written by Charles Dickens will give an attestation to show that it is not a whim.


→This book revolves around a nonchalant and stern businessman called Ebenezer Scrooge who was regarded as a formidable creature in people’s eyes. Such being the case, nobody dared to greet him; no beggars dared to implore him to bestow a trifle; even the blind men’s dogs were panicked and tried to shun whenever and wherever they came across him. Nevertheless, there were two passionate men who were dauntless enough to approach him. One of them was his nephew called Fred who kept inviting him to his Christmas party every year despite rejections while the other was his clerk called Robert Cratchit who eked out a meager existence but was submissive to him in spite of his stinginess and harshness.

→The Christmas Carol came to an end once Mr Scrooge woke up. The dream had given him a hard whack that mellowed him. The brand new Mr. Scrooge now was full of gay, love, mercy, benevolence and forbearance: he sent a big turkey to the Cratchit; donated money to the needy; patted children on their heads tenderly; questioned beggars heartily; admired whatever he saw; visited his nephew and promised to raise poor Cratchit’s salary as well as concern about Mr. Cratchit’s plight.

→The story is engrossing due to the presence of the specters that helps to create a mysterious atmosphere, together with a series of unexpected upshots, which succeed in arousing readers’ interest and curiosity. Besides, the theme of the story is meaningful and inspiring.
