"A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens. Pages 13-30.
Ebenezer Scrooge is the main character. He had a office, called "warehouse". It was the afternoon of Christmas Eve and old Scrooge sat busy at work in his office. It was a cold, foggy, bleak day, and Scrooge could hear poeple in the street outside celebrate the Christmas. Suddenly, a voice interrupted Scrooge in the midst of his work. "A Merry Christmas, Uncle!" came a cheerful voice. It was old man Scrooge's nephew. Then " Christmas a humbug" said Scrooge. His nephew wanted to invite him to have Christmas dinner with us tomorrow, but he rejected. After, there are two men wanted to invite him to go their party and donated some money. But Scrooge said " I do not consider Christmas merry and i have no desire to make, worthless people merry. Their is not my problem. Ihave my own business to attend to and i do not concern myself with other people's business. Now, good afternoon, gentlemen." Finally, he was being busy at work.
Opinion: He work the office with a partner. But his partner has died for seven years. Ithink maybe this reason causes him hate the Christmas day. Although many people want to invite him to have a party with them, he also reject, even his nephew. And he said " i don't concern myself with other people's business." He is a really selfish man. Ithink someone will teach him finally.

addition of Robin Hood (Chapter1)page1-15
i am sorry about that, i forget to write my opinion.
opinion: when i read this chapter, i thought Robin Hood is a young man,because he could be infuriated easily by the drunk man , and also i thought he was good at archery, and in my opinion, he didn't have to infuriate by the drunk man, just ingore him,and he could prove that he was a good archer and beat the drunk man in the match. in the other hand, he was a kindhearted man, and always help the poor.

BLACK BEAUTY
by ANNA SEWELL. pages 1-23
It's the story about a horse. Because he was black, he was called "Darkie". When he was a child, he lived happily with his mother and other horses. Their master was a very kind and good man, and all horses liked him.
One day, he saw a terrible scene that he has never forgotten. It was a hunt. Some hounds and men riding on horseback were running after a hare. And one of the dogs caught it. But unfortunately, some horses tumbled during the hunt. They were injured, and one of them broke his leg. So, a man killed him with a gun because he couldn't run any more. And one of the men on horseback was dead, too.
As I wrote an awful summary, the part of this story that I read was little bit terrible. I hope next part is a funny story. And I didn't know that it is a famous story and the movie was made from this story. I want to watch this movie after I read this book. I think that Darkie will grow up spiritually rich.
