      This book follows two main characters Lennie, a disabled man, and George, his bestfriend, during the Great Depression. They escape from their anterior location due to a misunderstanding of rape accused at Lennie. They arrive at a new workplace and settle in to earn some money in a farm. They have the typical "American dream" of making enough money to buy themselves a house and their own little farm. Though, trouble seems to arrive with Curley, the boss's son, and his attention-seeking wife. After an unfortunate event between Lennie and Curley's wife, things start going downhill.      Let me just start with saying that this book was really interesting although very tragic. I think that Lennie was generally a misunderstood character by the rest of the characters. Though, it was really nice to see George stay besides Lennie all the way to the end. Their friendship lit up a spark of hope through the mist of turbulence.      I don't think I'...

  Animal Farm is a classic novel about how tyranny is inevitable and what it's like to live under a totalitarian government. The book is an excellent read that will intrigue any avid reader. The book follows a group of farm animals that live on a farm run by an old alcoholic owner who neglects the animal's needs. One day, an old born named old major calls a meeting with all the animals to discuss a vision he has had. He told the animals that he saw a world where animals live free from the rule of humans and where all animals could be equal. Eventually, Old Major died, which meant there had to be a new rebellion leader. Since pigs were declared the smartest of the animals, two bores were appointed leaders. Their names were Napoleon and snowball. After taking control of the farm from the owner, they established a set of rules that every animal had to follow. For example, anything that walked on two legs was an enemy, and anything that had four legs or wings was a friend. As time ...

   As shown in the title, this book follows the daughter of the Moon Goddess, Xingyin. The Moon Goddess, a prisoner, sends off Xingyin away afraid that someone might discover the secret she has been trying to keep for so long. Accidentally, Xigyin lands in the land of those who incarcerated her mother and Xingyin comes up with one goal, to free her mother from the loneliness she is confined to. She does whatever it takes to achieve her goal.      The plot was really interesting and I found the main character extremely admirable. This might have been seen as a let down to others, but for me the way she always put her mother first above everything else despite temptations was remarkable. The relationship itself was an example of an unbreakable family bond which was what I found enjoyable while reading this book.  One of my favorite quotes from this book was: “Were you afraid?” “All the time.” Some might think me a coward, but I felt no shame in admitting it. ...
