I chose this book called "Big Girl" written by Danielle Steel.
It's about a girl named Victoria. She is a blond-haired, blue-eyed, chubby little girl; which is opposite of her parents who are slim and tall. Her father referred to her as Queen Victoria. While her family could eat anything they wanted, Victoria couldn't without gaining weight. As time goes by, she decides to get away from them and go to college in Chicago.
This week, I read the first two chapters. This novel starts with the main information about the characters and the settings which is like this: Jim Dawson and Christine meets in college and becomes a couple. Their first baby comes out to be a girl, which Jim secretly wanted a boy. He named the baby Victoria because she was beautiful as queen Victoria. Although when Victoria becomes older, she sees a picture of queen Victoria, she is disappointed. Their second baby also turns out to be a girl and they name her Grace. The father says that Grace is the perfect daughter that they always wanted and not Victoria. Victoria looks different from the other family members and feel a little left out.
Your choice book sounds interesting! Her life is miserable because she is forced to make an ultimate decision. (either beauty or pleasure) moreover, she is always compared with her young sister who is much more fortune than Victoria. I emphasized Victoria…
返信削除You summarized the first two chapters very well. In subsequent blog entries, write not only about the content of what you read, but also what you felt about it, who you sympathized with, which characters annoyed you, how you could relate to the events that happened in the story, etc. In other words, try to write about how what you are reading affects YOU.
返信削除I think you made a good choice of book. The themes it deals with are ones that I'm sure many young women (and some young men) can relate to.
Clear skies,
