A beautiful young Indian girl, and a brave Englishman. Black eyes, and blue eyes. A friendly smile, a laugh, a look of love... But this is North America in 1607, and love is not easy. The girl is the daughter of King Powhatan, and the Englishman is a white man. And the Indians of Virginia do not want the white men in their beautiful country.  When I read this book, I feld sad. Pocahontas want to marry Englishman,but Ishe can not get married because of different races. It's so sad! I thought that I was glad I was not born in that age. Vicary.

He is not beautiful. His mother does not want him, children run away from him. People laugh at him, and call him 'The Elephant Man'.  The Elephant Man" is based on the life of John Merrick, who lived in London. A horribly deformed young man, who has been a freak attraction in traveling side shows, is found abandoned and helpless and is admitted for observation to Whitechapel, a prestigious London.  Under the care of a famous young doctor, Merrick changes from a sensational object of pity to the urbane and witty favorite of the aristocracy and literati. But his belief that he can become a man like any other is a dream never to be realized.  It's so heartbreaking and depressing. This story as it is was really sad and compelling. Vicary.
