During
this
semester,
I?ve
read
three
English
novels.
The
first
one
is
The
Wizard
of
Oz.
Here
is
the
my
reading
feelings
of
the
story.
The
Scarecrow wanted some
brains, but on the way to the
Emerald
City, he
thought
out
a
way
to
cross
the
river.
The
Cowardly
Lion
wanted
to
be
brave, but when they met the river, he
carried other friends to jump across
it. And the Tin Man wanted a heart, he
said he couldn?t love, but he didn?t
want to hurt any animal.
In
fact, they all have the things they want: the
Scarecrow
is
clever,
the
Cowardly
Lion
is
brave
and
the
Tin
Man
is
kind-hearted. His book tells us a story
of how a little girl Dorothy goes
back
to her hometown when she is in another strange
city. Dorothy is a
little girl who
lived with her aunt and uncle in Kansas. The
weather there
is very bad, sometimes
there was a cyclone. When a cyclone came, people
stayed under their houses. But one day
a cyclone blows Dorothy?s house,
with
Dorothy and her dog Toto in it, to a country
called Oz. In that city
there are four
witches and a very famous
wizard
—
the Wizard of Oz. And
Dorothy?s house just fell on the bad
Witch of the East and killed her, so
the people there were very happy.
Dorothy took the witch?s red shoes and
wore them. She wanted to go home to
Kansas but she
doesn?t know how
to get there. So the Witch of North
told her to go to the Emerald City to
find the Wizard of Oz to help her.
Then
Dorothy
met
the
Scarecrow,
the
Tin
Man,
and
the
Cowardly
Lion, but they need help too. The
Scarecrow wanted some brains, the Tin
Man wanted a heard, and the Cowardly
Lion wanted to be brave. So they
all
take
the
yellow
brick
road
to
the
Emerald
City.
On
the
way
to
the
Emerald
City
they
met
some
difficulties,
but
they
solved
them
successfully.
After
they
met
the
Wizard
of
Oz,
the
wizard
gave
them
another
challenge
—
to
kill
the
bad
Witch
of
the
West
and
they
accept.
During the way to
the Witch of the West?s house, they were caught by
the
witch
and
Dorothy
was
requested
to
work
for
her.
One
day,
when
the
witch
tried
to
catch Dorothy
?s
red
shoes,
Dorothy
threw
some
water on
the
witch by accident and the Witch of the West
disappeared. Only water
can kill her.
So Dorothy went back to the Emerald City with her
friends
but
they
found
the
Wizard
of
Oz
is
not a
real
wizard,
he
is
also
a
man
came
from
Kansas,
and
he
is
just
a
conjurer.
He
wanted
to
go
back
to
Kansas too. So he made a big balloon
and prepared to go. But when the
balloon is going to raise, Dorothy?s
dog Toto jumped away to run after a
cat, so Dorothy had to get Toto back
and they were left in Oz.
Then Dorothy and Toto went and find the
Witch of the South and the
witch told
them they can just use the red shoes on Dorothy?s
feet, they?re
a pair of magic shoes,
they could take anybody go back to their home as
soon
as
she
said?East
,
west
—home
is
the
best!?After
Dorothy
said
goodbye to her friends, she went back
to her new home with her dog. It?s
really a wonderful risk. Yes, no matter
where we are, home is always the
best
place for us to rest or study. There are our
parents here; there are also
our
favorite things here. At home, we feel safe, we
feel comfortable, and
we
can
relax ourselves.
From
this
story,
we
can
see
Dorothy
is
a brave
and
kind-hearted girl. She killed the two bad witches
in Oz; she helped
the Scarecrow, the
Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion to go to the
Emerald
City
to
find
the
Wizard
and
get
what
they
want.
She
solved
problems
when they
met
difficulties.
It?s
really
not
easy
for
such
a
little
girl. We
also learn that teamwork is important
for us. When we are in trouble, we
can
ask
our
friends
for
help,
and
also,
when
our
friends
need
help,
we
should
go and help them. Just remember, more people, more
power. It?s
always better has more
people to do a thing. Teamwork is really necessary
in
our
lives.
And
we
can
see
the
Scarecrow
is
absolutely
cleaver,
he
understands
things,
he
can
think,
he
learn
quickly,
and
he
suggested
Dorothy to cut down a tree to cross the
river. The tin man has a kind heart,
he
laughs, he cries, he loves, he feels sorry for
people. The Cowardly Lion
is really
brave, he did a lot of brave things, he carried
the friends to go
across the river, and
he wanted to find some food for his friends and so
on.
We should learn from them too. When
we are in trouble, we should calm
down,
watch the things around carefully, and try to
think out of a way to
solve
it,
just
like
the
Scarecrow.
We
also
should
be
brave
as
we
are
in
danger,
we
can?t
be
afraid,
we
should
face
the
difficulty
and
try
to
go
through
it,
just
like
the
Cowardly
Lion.
And
we
should
learn
to
love
