suddenly feel like posting such entry.
no special reason.
this morning or rather noon, we had a chat about this secondary school literature book,
bridge to terabithia, which is going to be screened in the theaters soon.
i remembered my literature books in both secondary 1 & 2 were
'six shakespeare stories',
'bridge to terabithia' and
'the clay marble'.
i hated to attend literature lessons, mainly because of my 'superb' english. lol.
i hated to answer any of the questions relating to the books, because i usually couldn't get the full meaning behind some of the sentences or paragraphs.
so most of the time i were doing the guessing part.
lol.
the book which i hated most was the
'six shakespeare stories', as you know, shakespeare's language is so
chim!! haha. my english then was not up to standard (don't think it has improved a lot now. lol) then i am not a very 'art' person.
[thee? thou? 傻傻分不清楚.]
lol.
i liked
'the clay marble' best because it is more to reality and more related to us in the sense that it was writtened by an asian and the story was based in cambodia. not to mentioned, the english is much more easier to read and understand. haha.
both
'six shakespeare stories' and
'bridge to terabithia' books are hard-covered. i don't like these 2 books in hardcover cos they were smelly. up till now, when i take out them, they still have slight smell. eee.
anyway, both
'bridge to terabithia' and
'the clay marble' have sad ending. a touching one which will moved you to tears. well, at least this effect applies to me for both. hee.
normally i would read up to the chapters that our literature teacher wanted us to for the
'six shakespeare stories', but for the other 2, i would always be a few chapters ahead cause they were simply too nice. haha.
and because of this author -Minfong Ho- who wrote
'the clay marble', and so happened that my brother had her another book -
'sing to the dawn'- as his literature book, i went on to read it. another nice and touching story which will be made into movie (but not sure by when). and since i read one of his literature books, i went on to read his another book -
'charlotte's web'- another story which was brought to the screen last month or so.
come to think of it, actually those literature books are quite nice to read. how come i didn't appreciate them when young? haiz. 我真是年少无知. lol.
