Before reading the book ''Ireland,'' I didn't know anything about Ireland, because I know and maybe many people know about the UK by learning geography, history, or social study and so on at school, but we didn't focus on the Ireland. And maybe there are people who think that Ireland is one of the country. Actually, I've been thinking about that until elementary school student. Ireland is a part of the UK, and that has so many histories of blood, bomb, and death before merger with England. Not all but I learned about that by reading the book. Of course it has interesting and funny contents like drinking habits, traditional music, and films.
 
     The most attractive point of the book is about the story of the Red Hand of Ulster. Now we can see Red Hand of the flags of Northern Ireland. If you read this book, you would know the pictures meaning about why ancient people draw a red, like blood, hand on their flag. To learn why it is so important, we need to learn a little more about Irish history.
   

     In addition, I found a good information about Ireland by while reading the book. It makes me very very happy that the one of islands in Ireland was used in places appearing in Star Wars, because I love it so much. At the last scene of episode Ⅶ of the Star Wars, main character Rey gave Luke the lightsaber which was used by him so ling time, at the place! When I saw the picture of the place, I remembered quickly. Due to the event, I decided to visit there someday.
   

     By the way, in the British literature's class  at my university, we 2nd year students learned about Gulliver's Travels written by Jonathan Swift who is one of the most famous and popular writer in Ireland, and he was born in Dublin. In his book, Gulliver's Travels a man called Gulliver visits many strange countries. In Lilliput all the people are about ten centimeters high and in the country of the Houyhnhnms horses are clever than people. But when Gulliver comes home, nobody believes his stories.If you want to know about everything of Ireland, please try this book. You will want to go to there by reading the book!
