Favorite Narratives

My favorite story is Victor Hugo’s Les Misérables, which was published in 1862 in France. The title of the story can be translated as ‘The Miserable Ones’, because many of its characters suffer greatly throughout the novel. The characters struggle with many difficult questions, such as “What is true justice?,” “What must a person do to right their wrongs?,” and “What is forgiveness?” The novel centers around the character Jean Valjean, a man who when he was very young and very poor stole a loaf of bread to feed his family. For this crime (which some would say was not a crime at all), he was imprisoned for decades. He escapes from prison and makes a new life for himself as an honorable citizen, but must reckon with his past for the rest of his life. I love it because it is a story about redemption.

    I like "tenkuu no hachi". It was written by Keigo Higashino.
    Japan was hit by a powerful earthquake on March 11 and it brought chaos to Japan. Especially,there is a problem of the nuclear power plant and the radioactivity in Fukushima, Japan. This book is a fiction that is written about Terrorism broke out aiming at the prototype fast breeder reactor in Fukushima. It is written as if Japan episode. We should confront energy problems now, so I think that it is read now. It isn't happy story, but I can think what to do in Japan. Therefore it is my favorite book.

  4. When I was a kid, I read "The Little Match Girl" this story. The little girl sold matches in the scene Danian Ye, deeply engraved in my mind.Because her family was too poor,she needed sell matches. "Match, Match, who will match!" Sad little girl cried hit the street. Despite this, no one to buy the girl a match.So the little girl again and again to wiped burning match, imagined the "warm stove, the fragrant duck, the beautiful Christmas tree, kind of the grandmother." This poor little girl, these were just a mirage, but it showed a little girl life, only the cold, hunger, pain and loneliness.Why do I and the little girl the same age, living environment is different? This is because she was living under the capitalist social system, and I lived in a socialist system.

  7. My favorite novel is <> which is written by Jules Verne. The author was born in France and devoted himself to literature and wrote several scientific romances, which gained him the name——Father of Modern Science Fiction.

    This is a book of science fiction which tells us an exciting story about an English gentleman, Mr. Phileas Fogg, who makes a bet with his clubmates and manages to travel around the world in eighty days. It gives us a vivid description of the many difficulties and incidents which happen on his journey.

    From this story, we can see the author's deep love for the sea, travel and adventure, which played a vital role in his life. We are also astonished and convinced by his fertile imagination and scientific and geographical knowledge

    Favorites from the novels that I read this story talking about the world of children, which you will discover that which is not less severe than the adult world.

    Lists the events of the story one of these children, which is currently very close to a man of thirty, a famous novelist and to some extent. Says at the beginning of the novel:
    "I was twelve years old and about to become thirteen when I first saw a man dead. This happened in 1960, very long ago ... although it seems to me sometimes that the incident occurred in a time not so long ago, and especially at night when he woke up after seeing the bad dreams when falling on a cold eye Opens. "

    Go is a group of his friends to search for body of missing boy on the way bak Harlow, and describes the horrors that a command on the way there and the surprise that was waiting there.
