Interesting Book
The prince and the pauper is an interesting book. First, there are two main characters who are born on the same day, and their faces are so similar that they look like twins. However, their lives are very different! One is a prince named Edward and he will be a king someday. The other is a pauper named Tom and he begs money on the streets of London. Their characters are so kind and loyal from the point of helping people. They are so similar expect for their different lives. Secondly, the phrases are interesting. There are a few phrases that are used for a king and a prince. The phrases are used to express respect toward the king and the prince, because people believe that the king and the prince are so great. For example, there are the phrases " Long live!" and " Your Majesty." The former is used when people want the king and the prince to live for a long time. People don't just say " Long live!" they shout " Long live!" They really hope for a long life of the king and the prince. The latter is used when people talk to a king. They say to the king " Your Majesty," after they bowed. It is so surprising that they really respect the king. Finally, the plot of this book is interesting. One day, Tom and Edward meet and they change places because Edward wants to make friends. They enjoy it for a short time, and they learn the differences between the life of the rich and the poor from each other. Tom learn that there are too many servants in the house of the prince, so he says that he doesn't need so many servants. Also especially, Edward learns the life of the poor. They live in one room and don't have enough food. Edward becomes a king, not Tom, and he is a very good and nice king, because he has learned about the life and problems of the poor. The rich can't understand the place of the poor until the rich experience the life of the poor. The Prince and the Pauper is a exciting book.
