Fairytales don't teach children that dragon exists,
Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales teach children the dragons can be killed.

Last Saturday - 1 Sept 2007
Last Saturday,I went to the library to pick out ta book entitled "Where Rainbows End",when I stumbled upon another interesting book.When I did not manage to find the book that I planned to read, I loan the other book entitled "Holly's Story".
This book that I loaned is about three teenage girls that are best-friends- Holly, Kathleen and Raina.They are then seniors in their high school who are a semester away from attending college. Raina is a daughter of a single mother,Vicki, who gave her first daughter up for an adoption due to the irresponsible lover she used to know.Raina was in love wiht a college student named Hunter who is also at the same time Holly's older brother.Raina was mad at Vicki for keeping the truth of having an older sister,Emma, who soon she got to know about as Emma needed a positive bone marrow donor from Raina herself. The book attracted me so much that I finished reading it within one and a half day.I was impressed by the powerful language and extraordinary introduction and conclusion.Most conclusion involves us imaginating the whole situation from the author's point of view.They includes the style of creating imagery from that great beginnings. Let me qoute the whole last paragraph of this book-"Together they stepped out onto an open patch of grass,hurled their mortarboards upward and watched as they turned, spun and tumbled together againts the clear blue sky"-
As for the beginnings ,the author uses different kinds of styles.A handful was the questioning style whereas others were like just straight to the point or start with a date,an impression and more.
I was hoping to read the other two books that is related to the characters in the story-that is "Kathleen's Story" and " Raina's Story".
