BR 1-16: Twelfth Night

Viora struggled ashore, her dress soaking. (p.5)

I chose this book because I have ever heard the title. So I wanted to read it.

This story involved many characters. Each of them has important role. I didn't know who was he and who was she. Because a woman camouflage to man.
The scene which a woman who camouflaged man told a man love words which is said from a another woman was very interesting.

This book made me fantasy because the story is very funny. At first, it is difficult to read but it getting funny, it getting easy to read.

I think understanding the story means what the title means.

Weekend

I'm happy now because last weekend, my mother and my brother came to my house in Kumamoto from Kagoshima. I wanted my father to come with them but he had to do his business so he couldn't.I was very looking forward to it so I got up early in the morning and I went to waiting place where we promised. Around eleven, my mother's car arrived. She called me and she said, " We arrived. Where are you?" I replied " Who is we?" because I heard that only my mother was going to come so I didn't know why she said "we". My mother skipped my question. I wondered but I went to her car. I thought what was big cloth in the back seat when I saw her car. And I was in the car, the thing which was in the back seat moved! I looked back at this. It was my brother! I was very surprised. They wanted me to be surprised. So "we" my mother said means she and my brother. She must have simply forgot and said. We laughed at that. We talked each other in the car. Western music was playing in the car, we love Western music very much.When we got to my apartment, we ate lunch together. I prepared deep-fried chicken, my mother prepared salad rice ball, and my brother prepared desert. It was very delicious. I enjoyed lunch time.

My grandparents

Yesterday, I went to Aso to see my grandparents. My grandfather is sick now so I'm worrying about it. He requires nursing care and my grandmother doing it at their house. I think it is very hard for her. So I wanted to encourage her, I thought she looks very tired because I heard from her.

When I arrived at their house, he didn't recognize to me because of sick. And also he asked me same question each five minutes. I know why he became such a thing, I felt sad.

My grandmother was called from my grandfather many times, it looked very hard but she did her best for him. I was very moving, seeing the situation.

I will go there again as soon as I can.
