BR1-10 The Elephant Man

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.

Christmas in prague

イメージ
     In a house in Oxford three people are having breakfast-Carpl, her husband Jan, and his father Josef. They are talking about Prague, because Carol wants them all to go there for Christmas. Josef wasa born in Prague, but he left his home city when he was a young man. He is an old man now, and he would like to see Prague again before he dies. But he is afraid. He still remembers another Christmas in Prague, many long years ago- a Christmas that changed his life for ever...       I was surprised first 2 sentences. It was written that "Do you know everything about your family? Does your family know everything about yoou?" I think that this sentence attract reader's interest. This book quotes the tragedy of Prague, so you can study about this tragedy by reading this book. Hannam.Joyce (2002) Oxford: Oxford Bookworms Library
