Book Review 11

I read a book whose title was Hansel & Gretel. I tell about the story. There was a poor family, which was 4 people, a mother, a father, Hansel and Gretel, and they were always starving. The stepmother couldn’t stand the poor life, and had an idea that she took Hansel and Gretel into the forest and let them not to come back to their house. Of course Hansel and Gretel didn’t know her thought. However, Hansel had left some little stones on the way, so they could go back home. The stepmother managed to leave them in a deep forest, so she tried to do it again. Although Hansel left bits of bread on the street, but these were eaten by birds, so they lost their way. Then, they found a house which made of sweets and they invited by an old woman. The old woman served them many sweets. In the morning, Gretel wake up and saw the woman cooking for breakfast and she was asked Gretel to help for cooking. Gretel didn’t see Hansel in the morning and the woman didn’t tell about it. Then, Gretel found a shed, where Hansel stayed. Hansel told to Gretel that the old woman was a witch and she would eat him after he grew up more. So Gretel wanted to help him and run away from here soon! Few days passed, the old woman said she would eat Hansel, so Gretel said to her she couldn’t fit in the oven, and the old woman put into it to prove it had no problem. And then, Gretel shut the oven’s door soon. Finely, Hansel and Gretel could go back to their home, and they lived with their father happily.

What a terrible stepmother! I can’t believe that she didn’t be anxious about her children, and more, she did anything to get a good life for herself. However, Hansel was enough wise to leave a sigh not to lose the way to home. Hansel and Gretel had a good relationship, so they could escape from the witch’s trap. If Gretel had been selfish person, she would have run away by herself with Hansel left there. She was a good girl. [370 words]
