Book Review9


I read the book which name is "The USA". The reason why I chose this book is I'm going to go to the United States and I'm very interested in The United States. This book is about American history and geography. The United States of America became independent of British in 1776. The July 4th is the Independence day, and American people celebrate this day every year. There are two stories about first immigrant from Europe. First story is about Pocahontas. I've heard her name, but I didn't know the story. She is a daughter of an Indian chief, and helped many English people. Later, she god married with an English man called John Rolfe, and moved to England. Next story is about the Pilgrim Fathers. I've already known about them, because I've read the book about them. They came to America in 1620 from England. They arrived in Plymouth, Massachusetts. They sailed to America in a ship called the Mayflower. They lived in America, but nearly half of them died in the first year, but some friendly Indians helped them. They could survive and made the Thanksgiving day. This day is the most important holidays in the year in America now. In the book, there are also stories about New Americans. America is called "Salad Bowl", so there are a lot of immigrants from many countries in the world. I'm very interested in racial discrimination problems, so story about Black Americans were very interesting for me. I could learn many things from this book.
