THE DEVOTION OF SUSPECT X

   
     I’d like to write my blog about the book I’m reading, “THE DEVOTION OF SUSPECT X” written by Keigo Higashino, translated by Alexander O. Smith with Elye J. Alexander.
     This book has sold over 2 million copies in Japan and has been made into a film. Especially, this time I’ll describe the setting.
     This story is about fateful confrontation of two genius, Ishigami and Yukawa. The story begins Ishigami and Yasuko’s usual life in Tokyo. Ishigami is very talented math teacher, who lives next door to Yasuko and her daughter Misato. Yasuko has ex-husband, Togashi. They divorced and spent other life, however one day Togashi showed up in front of Yasuko and Misato. Then the situation escalated into violence, and he was killed by them. Ishigami noticed that, and he decided to help them. This is the beginning of long journey for them. After body was found, the detective started to investigate this murder case. What will be happened to next?

     I’ll continue to write the detail of this story and follow some themes.

    Hi! Ai!
    I’m really interested in this book.
    This novel is a Japanese novel, so I think it will be fun to read it in English!!

Letter to Fred ~A Christmas Carol~

     Thank you for reading my blog this week. Today, I’d like to write a letter to a character. I think I try to write a letter to Scrooge’s nephew. Before I start writing a letter, I’m going to introduce you to nephew. On the Christmas Eve, he visited to uncle’s house (Scrooge’s house) and invited to Scrooge to his house and have a dinner together, but Scrooge refused it. Because Scrooge thought Christmas is humbug, what’s Christmas? The nephew just wanted to enjoy Christmas with him, so he was disappointed. At last, he left the room without an angry word. Dear Fred How are you doing? I heard you were refused to come and have dinner together by Scrooge, your uncle. I know you just want to enjoy the Christmas party with your family. Your uncle is difficult person little bit, right? However, I’m sure he will change his mind and you will be able to enjoy your happy Christmas day!! So, you don’t have to worry about that. Have a good Christmas with your family. Tak...

I, ROBOT

Thank you for reading my blog this week. I finished reading A Christmas Carol, so I started reading another book, I, Robot . At first, I have watched this story of movie, maybe. So, when I found this book in the library, I want to read this in English. Human being is a weak creature, because we need air, water and food. On the other hand, robot doesn’t need anything except electricity. Human being can’t work if the temperature is too hot or too cold. However, robot is made of metal. So, they never sleep and can work anywhere in any temperature. They are sometimes stronger than human beings. Recently, AI is outstanding. They are very useful and make our life easier to live by some way. However, is it really need? Will it be a menace to the exist of us? See you in my next post.

My favorite character ~Notting Hill~

Thank you for reading my blog this week. Today, I’d like to write about my favorite character in Notting Hill . I can’t decide which character is the best, Anna and William. However, I have favorite word by Anna. When Anna said that she loves him, but William refused it, because he knew he didn’t suit her. Then, Anna said “It’s not real, you know… being famous. I’m also just a girl. Standing in front of a boy. Asking him to love her.” I really like this word. So, I like Anna. That’s the way of thinking of her. If she is very famous all over the world, she is also just a girl. She wants to love someone the same as other girl. I want to watch the movie of this story!! Have you ever watched Notting Hill ? See you in my next post.
