Dracula

Count Dracula lives in a large castle in Transylvania, but he wants to buy a
house in England. A London law company sends Jonahtan Harker to Castle Dracula
to help the count with his business. Doracula is friendly and polite to his
guest, but something is wrong. Why are the doors to the rooms in the castle all
locked? Why aren't there any mirrors? Why does the count only wake up at night,
and why does he seen so strangely interested in pictures of Jonathan's
girlfriend, Mina? When Jonathan discovers a terrible secret about Count Dracula,
he wants to escape. But how? He is a prisoner in the castle. Will he ever see
England and Mina again?

What you going to do, if you face to Doracula in midnight? I think Dracula is weaker than human, because they can't go outside in day, and if they go outside, then they going to die quickly. Dracula hates garlic too, and if you have a garlic, they don't want to attack you. I don't like garlic too, but I'm not one of them. This book is interesting, and if you have a time you should read this.

MARTIN LUTHER KING

"I have a dream today . . . one day little black boys and little black girls will be able to join hands with little girls as sisters and brothers."

King's dream has not come true yet. But many Americans today have the same dream. His fight for peace, equality, and freedom for all people continues.

Do you know Martin Luther King? He was a leader of black people, but he was killed. He was not bad guy, but he was killed. Many black people still loving him now. If there was not Martin Luther King, I think we couldn't listen R&B music, and we couldn't watch many great movie of black people.

AMISTAD

The Amistad was a real Spanish slave ship. It sailed from Havana, the capital of Cuba on 28 June 1839. It was taking some young Africans to work as slave, but they fought and killed and sailors on the ship. The Africans tried to sail the ship home to Africa but a US ship found them and took them to New Haven in Conneticut on the north-east coast of America. There they faced prison and the courts.

What do you think about slave institution? I hate this institution, because humans are equality, and nobody can order to other person. This book is about slave ship, and young black slave. After reading this book you can know about slave ship, and that is the biggest mistake in the history. If you want to know about slave institution, you should read this book.

The Birds

They never stopped. They were mostly seagulls, big white birds with black
heads ans hard yellow eyes. But there were other birds, too: big all-black birds
from the farms behind the bearch, with strong and dangerous yellow beaks;
smaller brown or black or white fish-eating birds and farm birds, always moving,
never quiet.

What do you think about birds?, you may be think they are cute and beautiful, and I thought it too before read this book. I think birds which in this book are very dangerous, because they are too violent to bird watching, if they coming to my hometown, I will run away as soon as possible, and I hope birds will not be like this.

Brer Rabbit and the Blackberry Bush

This is a story about Brer Rabbit, Brer Fox and a prickly blackberry bush.

Huck knew that slave institution is wrong, so he decided to help Jim, then they started their adventure. I recomend this very much, because this book makes me happy, and I think you going to be happy like me after you read this book. Try this!!!

Dante's Peak

Listen, Paul,' Harry said. 'We have a problem. That volcano's getting ready to
explode.' Dreyfus stopped smiling. 'I know it was hard for you up there, Harry,'
he said, 'but you mustn't get excited. Nothing much happened.' 'Nothing much
happened? said Harry. 'Paul, I was there. That was a big earthquake.'

Eruption can destroy everything, and this story express that. They tried to escape, but that was too difficult. There were a lot of lava on the road, and road was close. They waited they're dog to catch up, and that was very dangerous things, but I think I will do same things for my dogs. This story is thrilling, and I recommend this.

Anubis. In the year of the Scorpion, they said, he and his soldiers will wake
up. They will begin their battle again, and this time they will kill everybody

This story is one of my best story, story about the mummy and Scorpion King, and they revive again, but this time not only mummy but also Scorpion King too. Scorpion King is too strong to beat. Do you know Scorpion King? He was not bad guy first, you can know about Scorpin King with Scorpion King's DVD. Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson acting Scorpion King, and he is a former WWE wrestler before he became actor, and that story is as interesting as this story. The mummy series are very interesting, so why don't you watch and read this movie.
