"1672- The Netherlands. It is a dangerous time. People are fighting in the streets. Cornelius loves two things. He loves tulips and he loves beautiful Rosa. Cornelius wants to win the prize. The prize for the first black tulip flower in The Netherlands. But Cornelius has enemies put him in prison. He is going to die." This story was comparatively easy to read. Despite Cornelius invented the soil of black tulips, Isaac tried to rob them. He is very bad man. To make an effort is very important but Isaac didn't make an effort. He is very cunning man. I thought that the person made an effort will be rewarded. I will try to make efforts in everything.

'In my world there are no birds sinsging. There are no noisy men working on yhe roads. No people leaving bars late at night shouting at each other. no babies crying.' Sam is like any other teenage girl except that she was born deaf. Now she is in live with Jim, but are their world too different? Sam is a woman who is deaf by nature and she is in love with a man who is working in a supermarket. She goes there not so much buying something need asseeing him. This behavior is cute. This story is easy to read, but I think that there is not very much content in this story. Reference Johnson, Margaret. (2003). Different World. Cambridge; Cambridge University Press.
