Stories From The List

I've found new way to enhance my english fluency, that is by read as much as I could. Though perhaps it could turn me into quieter person. Yes, I'm a quiet person already. But this methode is resolutive. Why? Because this is the very first time I read novels in english and I enjoy it. Really. I wonder why I could did it. Before, when I used to blogwalking in My Musings, not a second I ever thought I will do such thing like her – collecting bunch of english novels and read it-. But I did. Eventhough it's so confusing at the beginning concerning there were TOO MANY difficult words that I had never met before. But that's what exactly I looked for, improving my vocabularies. And it's okay, by understanding each points I could get the whole story easily. It surprising how easy it was.

I also got a way to make sure I only read the qualified one, not a boring story which wasted my time, tired my eyes and ended with dissapointment. So to decide which would be my next target to read, I asked Mr. Google first about "the best novels all time". And there come the results of 100 best novel from the year of 1700ers until now. The list of masterpiece all time. It was fantastic to see the lists, the tittles very appealing like I couldn't be patient to open the book. The e-book I meant. I won't capable of buying books of course, or even rent it.

I've read the some on that list, like Harry potter I; Angel and Demon; Da vinci Code; and Narnia II. They all pretty good, but I had read them in indonesian. The three first english novel I've read were Anne of green gable; The Memoirs of a Geisha, and The Kite Runner. The two first is somemuch worthwhile. I love it a lot. Highly recommended. Really, It could affecting me in some way. I'll be very pleased to tell the plot here. And I would.

The anne of Green Gable. Published in 1900s, this novel become fenomenal in Canada, and very affecting the national thought concerning education, especially for woman. In that period, this novel brought into hot issue disscussions in some University . Even the charming story last until today. Maybe some people called Anne of Green Gable as children tale, but besides the chilhood part, I assure you this is a wonderfull motivation story for student all ages. I totally admire the strong character of fussy Anne which bring colorfull life into it's surrounding. I think is hard to be like her, at least for me. Before the age of 12, Anne was a very miserable little skinny kid. The red headed girl looked so poor and pity. She have never saw her parents, then she lived with a mean family who pushed her to worked too hard with no single love and peace. She also had to looked after that family three twins kids. Anne didn't went to school, She didn't had a friend exept her imaginary friend. She only had one dirty clothes, never going to picnic, never eat gums, moreover ice cream. Some day the family sent her to an orphanage. No happiness ever happened to her. And finally a family accidentally adopted her.

Due to her life experience, you must think that Anne must always feel gloomy and mourning her bad fate in a sad daydreaming everyday all day long. But not at all. She's not that type of person at all. This is what surprised me, I called it a rare unique character. I even bet she never really felt sad nevertheless her days was never as other kids fun days. This is because she had a specialization something called "imagination". Yes, her extraordinary imagination which sometimes exceed the limit always tickling me with funny, cheerfull and unusual way that difficult to be told here. She lived her life with imaginations, that's what kept her happy whatever happened to her.

When Anne adopted by the kind family of Matthew Culberth and Marilla Culberth, they both surprised by the cheerfullness and fussyness of the kid. Anne is the most fussy character I've ever read. She can't stop of talking. It's usual for her to talked with loonngg centences and big words even she's a child. The way Anne talked wondered the surrounding of Avonlea. It definitely shows her Intelegent, although as a kid she also the naughty one too. The big words abundance pushed me to open my pocket dictionary often. The cleverness then would lead Anne into the smartes woman not only in Avonlea but also in Prince Edward Island. She never down with her life history. Never feel ashamed even the neighbourhood saw her unique attitude as strange at the first time. She moves with her own way to reach her dream. The story is fully entertaining and motivating. Two thumbs up!

The next post I will retell the next amazing story!
