SLA Junior SeminarⅡ 12: Hercules

Hercules

Hercules is the strongest man in the world, but one day he does something very bad. The priestess at Delphi tells him: 'The gods are angry with you. For twelve years you must work for King Eurystheus, and do twelve tasks for him. When you finished, the gods forgive your crime. Some tasks are easier, and some tasks are more difficult. Can Hercules finish all twelve of them? And what happens when he does?

I never read any books and story about ancient greek mythology, so I don't have any knowledge and idea about it, but actually I could enjoy reading from the beginnings to the end of the story. Hercules is absolutely the strongest man in the world, because in the book he cope with so many hard  problems that common people couldn't do in their life. However he didn't understand why the bad thing happened. He should try not to make his body stronger but think over the reason why the bad situations happened.

SLA Junior SeminarⅡ 08: Why?

'Please don't go to Glossia,' says Sara.
'Imust, ' answers Alex. 'I'm a soldier- it's my job.' 
'But why are you going to there?' asks Sara. 
'We're going to stop the fighting,' says Alex. 'Lots of people are dying.'

This story is about civil war. Usually I don't like to read some books about it, but this time I was attracted by the title of the book, 'Why?' I thought why the name of the book is 'why' and what does the title mean, so I took the book and read it. Now all over the world, so many places and countries have bad situations of war. I think, however, are there any particular reason that make the residents and soldiers fight each other. By fighting so long time, they may forget having reasons for fighting. And during the war, not only the residents but also the soldiers lost their lives. I could learn so many things by reading this book, please read it.

SLA Junior SeminarⅡ 07: What a lottery!

What a lottery!

Rick loves music and wants to be a rock star. But he has no money and his wife leaves him. Then he wins the lottery. Is this the start of a new life fo Rick?

After read it, I felt that the story is messy and absurd. In other words, the protagonist is too optimistic to do anything like working, talking with others, playing music with his guitar, and living with his wife. He caught so many bad situation, but he couldn't notice because of his personality. I enjoy the story's development until finishing reading the book. I recommend you to read the book.

SLA Junior SeminarⅡ 06: The Black Pearls


The Black Pearls

They call Wolfgang Peters the 'Minute Man'. Why? Because one minute he's there, and the next minute he's not. But what is Peters doing  on the beautiful island of Raratonga? 

I love kind of this book, thief and police story and mysterious  story. In the book there is well known thief named Wolfgang Peters, but everyone call him 'Minute Man' because he steals anything he wants in one minute. I think he is very cool. I couldn't steal something in the real, but in the world of books, I can experience thrill of stealing. Was he arrested at last? Or Could he run away from the police after stealing Black Pearls? Please try it, it is very easy to read.
