| Heidi by Joanna Spyri |
Pages Read: 1 to 232
Time: 2 hours
This week I started reading a new book instead of Moby Dick. I got bored of the book, and I didn't find it that interesting. The book didn't really leave me excited. So, I decided to start reading the book Heidi.
As Detie told the stories, I noticed that a lot of Heidi's friends and family had died. Some of them had died because of construction work. For example, Peter's father died because he was chopping down a tree. Also, Tobias, Heidi's father, was killed by a falling beam when building a house. I find this pretty sad and I wondered if many people have been killed because of construction work.
I thought that it was a bad idea for Heidi to go to her Uncle Alp. Then, after I saw how Uncle Alp changed as a character toawrds Heidi, I didn't mind Uncle Alp staying. I felt really bad that Heidi had to move and her life in the mountains should've not ended. Meanwhile, as Heidi stayed with Clara, it seemed as interesting as Heidi did when she lived with her Uncle Alp.
During the book I realized what a good person Heidi and her grandfather was. Her grandfather had changed so much as a character, which wanted me to see more people that were very kind like this in the world. I also felt very happy for Clara, because she actually walked. In the book, I was afraid that someone might die because in the book had mentioned many people dying. Overall, 'Heidi' was actually a good book that teaches a good lesson. The only thing I'm wondering is that, what happened to the cats ?! |
