I chose this book instantly as I noticed it. I decided to read that book because I'd like to read a big amount of small plots, they can be understood easier than the big one. I already have read some of them and I like it. Besides, I can read works of many authors, it gives a better understanding of English literature and culture

I chose the work of Louise May Alcott "Little Women" because it tells about the daily life of 4 March sisters and their mother during the Civil War.  The characters of the girls are very different from each other, but this does not prevent them from remaining a family and loving each other. I like this book because it tells about the experiences and problems of ordinary people that everyone can understand.

The main characters:

Nick Carraway

He is relatively innocent and mild-mannered, especially when compared to the elite among whom he lives. Over time, however, he becomes wiser, more observant, and even disillusioned, but never cruel or selfish. Nick is the novel's narrator, but he has some qualities of a protagonist, as he is the character who undergoes the most significant change in the novel.

Jay Gatsby

Ambitious and idealistic, Gatsby is the epitome of the “self-made man.” Now he is a young millionaire but he was born in a poor family. He fell in love with the wealthy Daisy as a young soldier, and since then has dedicated himself to becoming worthy of her by building up his image and fortune. Despite his best efforts, Gatsby’s idealistic fervor is no match for the bitter realities of society.

Plot (beginning):

In the first chapter of the novel, we get acquainted with Nick Carraway, on whose behalf the narration is conducted. He introduces us to the history of his family. Then he says that he took part in the Great World War and upon returning home he could not find a place for himself, he decided to move to the East and study credit business. In the spring of 1922, Nick moved to New York. The hero admits that it would be more appropriate to rent an apartment in New York, but he settled in West Egg, in a small house located at the very end of the cape.

Nick knew that the magnificent villa located to the right of his house belonged to a certain Mr. Gatsby, about whom he knew nothing.

On the opposite side of the bay, where Nick's house was located, his second cousin Daisy lived with her husband Tom. And one day Nick decides to visit them. Here Nick meets Daisy's friend Jordan Baker, with whom Nick started a conversation about Mr. Gatsby. Nick assured Jordan that he didn't know him, even though they lived next door. When Tom and Jordan went to the library, Daisy confesses to Nick how much she had to go through and tells about her little daughter. Nick on arrival home, in the dark, sees the silhouette of his neighbor and thinks for a long time whether to call out to him. Gatsby was very interested to Nick

“Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s stone

# data[].attributes.body
Characters: Vernon Dursley, Petunia Dursley, Dudley Dursley, Albus Dumbledore, Minerva McGonagall, Rubeus Hagrid and, of course, Harry Potter.

Dursley’s family includes:

Vernon Dursley - the director of a firm called Grunnings, which made drills. He was a big, beefy man with hardly any neck, although he did have a very large moustache.

Petunia Dursley - thin and blonde woman with nearly twice the usual amount of neck, which came in very useful as she spent so much of her time craning over garden fences, spying on the neighbours. Moreover, she was Lily Potter’s sister and she was ashamed of it.

Dudley Dursley - Mr and Mrs Dursley’s son. His parents thought that there was no finer boy anywhere. But, in fact, he was capricious, ugly little child.

Dursleys didn’t believe in magic and everything connected with it.

Albus Dumbledore - man who was wearing long robes, a purple cloak which swept the ground and high-heeled, buckled boots. His blue eyes were light, bright and sparkling behind half-moon spectacles and his nose was very long and crooked, as though it had been broken at least twice. Moreover, he loves sherbet lemons.

Minerva McGonagall - woman, who was wearing square glasses, cloak, an emerald one. Her black hair was drawn into a tight bun. She can turn into a cat.

Rubeus Hagrid - he was almost twice as tall as a normal man and at least five times as wide. He looked simply too big to be allowed, and so wild - long tangles of bushy black hair and beard hid most of his face, he had hands the size of dustbin lids and his feet in their leather boots were like baby dolphins. She has driven on the huge motorbike.

Harry Potter - The Boy Who Lived. He lost his parents when he was a child. All wizard world talks about him.

Plot:

The Dursleys live an ordinary life, don’t believe in anything mystical and raise a child. Suddenly, Mr. Dursley notices strange things on the street: a cat reading a map, people in cloaks, owls in daylight. He pushes these thoughts away from himself until he hears the hated surname "Potter". WhenDursleys go to bed, we can meet other characters: Albus Dumbledore, Minerva McGonagall Hagrid and Harry. They meet near the Dursleys’ house and talk about Lily and James Potter who had died by Voldemort’s hand. Hagrid laid gently their lived son, Harry, on the doorstep. All wizards wished Harry luck and left.

I chose this book because my friends recommended it to me many times. they said the book was very interesting. besides, it is always better to read any book in the original. After reading this book, my friends and I will be able to discuss how the translation differs from the original

I decided to choose this book because I am interested in the topic stated in it. It tells about a young man Jay Gatsby, who, having fallen in love with a woman from the social elite, spends a lot of money trying to win her love. She marries a man from her social stratum, and he dies, disappointed in the concept of "self-made" man. Fitzgerald seems to argue that the possibility of social mobility in America is an illusion, and that the social hierarchy of the "New World" is as rigid as in Europe.

"How To Rap" is Paul Edwards's research on how hip-hop works. I chose this book because I want to consider hip-hop from the point of view of literary science. I decided to read this book in English because I want to understand the meaning of the book without losing meaning when translating.

"Sense and sensibility" is a novel by the English writer Jane Austen.

I read her "Pride and Prejudice" and I was delighted. I can call her novels psychological, and they are interesting to me from an analytical point of view. I also really liked the fact that the writer doesn't pay attention to the appearance of the characters, only their inner world.

The plot of the novel is built around the love stories of two sisters: the prudent and restrained Eleanor and the romantic Marianne. They have a younger sister, Margaret, and an older half-brother, John. When their father dies, the estate passes to John and the widow's family is left with very modest means.

The Picture of Dorian Gray is Oscar Wilde's only novel. The Picture of Dorian Gray tells the story of a young, beautiful man who trades his soul for eternal youth, then descends further and further into a moral abyss — until he discovers there is, after all, a price to pay for his actions. I've already read a lot by this author and I absolutely admire his work, that's why I've chosen this book.

“Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s stone“

This is the first book in J.K. Rowling's series about Harry Potter. All the exciting adventures of the boy who lived begin in this book. This work demonstrates true friendship, where characters help each other in unreal difficult situations. This story has remained one of my favorites for several years. The characters in the book learn from their mistakes and grow up along with the readers. I think that everyone should read this book (and it will be better if you read all the books).

As I haven’t read this book yet a can’t tell about my impression of its plot. But I can definitely write about my expectations of this non-fiction book. Reading the name of this story I can make a solution that this book is not about love, not about music, but about the phenomenon that is now called body shaming. The story of a man who was oppressed all his life for his unusual appearance, who grew up to be a genius and directed his abilities against society with its discrimination. The musical based on this novel, which I loved so much, partly distorted the meaning of The Phantom of the Opera.

This story has been my favorite for many years. Since childhood, I have admired the Disney cartoon about the eternally young boy Peter Pan, the fairy Tinker Bell, the formidable Captain James Hook and careless boys. I have read this book in Russian many times and I reckon it's time to read it in English.  I really want to plunge into the light memories of long ago. The magnificent, truly magical story awaits me in the world of adventure and eternal youth!

I have chosen to read "Pollyanna". The author of this wonderful book is Eleanor H. Porter.  Why this book? Recently I have read it in Russian and understood, that it's the kindest book I have ever read. It teaches us to find a reason for joy and not to be discouraged. There is a lot of kindness and light that will warm your hearts. I want to start reading it in English because it can help to improve my English skills (reading, writing, speaking). I want to dive into the world of this book as soon as possible.

I have read the book in Russian and I am really eager to read it in English. I am sure that this time it will open to me from a different perspective. The book is mysterious, thrilling and mind-opening.I am fascinated by the contents, by the irony and the phylosophy the author opens to the reader. Can't wait to start reading!
