St Clare’s Series Review

St Clare’s is a series of books in which two twins Isabell and Patricia O’Sullivan go to a boarding school named St Clare’s. They have just come from another school named Redroofs. They liked Redroofs very much, and they think that no school is as good as Redroofs. They did not want to go to St Clare ‘s, but they had no choice but to go. They were very stuck up and mean in St Clare’s. But when other students behaved like they did, they felt embarrassed and they improved. They found out that it was very good and loved their school.

I like this book very much because of their friends’ mischief, about how they play pranks on the teachers and have midnight feasts. It also teaches us to be responsible, kind, helpful, etc.

I feel that you should read this book as it is funny and interesting. The author of this series of books Enid Blynton, a very famous author in writing children’s books.

Review of Book - Pygmalion

The word pygmalion effect means that people are influenced by the expectations built on them. In simpler words, it means that people are dependent and have complete faith on what others say. A word opposite to pygmalion effect is galatea effect, which means that people are independent and care on what they themselves think or feel.These meanings have great significance in the book which we come to know later as we read on. ‘Pygmalion’ this book is about a cockney flower girl who is very poor in the field of phonetics. Her dream is to become a lady in a flower shop but to achieve that goal her pronunciation needs improving.

As the story continues, Higgins and Pickering not only pass her as a duchess but also some people believe that she is a princess. In the middle of the book professor higgins started to like and admire Eliza and the story starts to turn amu...

Room No. 546

Room No. 546 Once a businessman was on a business trip to sell a valuable and precious vase to a manager. The manager lived in the city but the businessman lived in a village so, the businessman had to live in a hotel at the city. After checking at the hotel he settled in and had dinner. When his stomach was full he went back to his room. While passing his room he heard queer sounds coming from room 546. The room’s door had been plastered with signs such as ‘DANGER’ and ‘DO NOT ENTER’. Even though he was curious he passed it unnoticed. The next evening the businessman loitered around the hotel and once more fond himself on the fifth floor, fourth corridor and in front of room 546. This time he could hear singing from the room. This time time not able to bear the suspense he peeped inside the keyhole of the room. To his amazement, he saw a girl who looked no older than twelve was facing her back to him.

Anne of Green Gables

Anne of Green Gables “Matthew Cuthbert, who’s that?” ”Where is the boy?” “There wasn’t any boy, there was only her .” While Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert are waiting for the arrival of a boy orphan they are taken by surprise by the arrival of Anne Shirley, a girl. Amused by Anne, Matthew takes a liking to her and does not want to return her to the orphan asylum. Marilla also does not want to give her away so they finally have to keep her and Anne has a new home. But Anne is very peculiar in many ways. Will she fit in Avonlea? Nobody knows. I look on this book with favor because it is humorous in every way. I encourage you to read this book as it is very delightful and is appropriate for almost all ages. The most fun part is Anne’s mistakes, she does something mistakenly and later on hers and Marilla’s reaction is very fun to read. This book is also very good for children who want to improve their vocabulary as Anne is peculiar in the way of using too big and compli...
