High Life, Low Life


Nat Marley, the main character is a New York private investigator. One day, his friend, Annie Clayton who has been homeless for years collapsed from a disease. And, the doctor said she doesn’t have much time. She asks him to find her son that she hasn’t been in touch. Another day, he was asked to a good lawyer by a rich elderly widow, Mrs. Joanna Whittaker. Nat thought she hid something, so he started to investigate her. The two ladies’ situations were completely opposite, however they seemed to be related.   

This book has a lot of characters, so it is difficult for me to remember their names. However, it is exciting that their secrets were revealed gradually. I don’t know what Annie and Mrs. Whittaker hid yet. I’m looking forward to reading the ending.

Nat, a private investigator, is asked to find a good layer by a rich woman, Mrs. Joanna Whittaker, however, a few days later she passes away. He is also asked to find her son, Jackie by a homeless woman, Annie Clayton. Nat finds him, and they meet again after twenty years. A few days later, she passes away for her disease. Nat doesn’t think there is a connection between the opposite women, however he found the secret of Annie Clayton. Jackie’s father was the late Mr. Tom Whittaker, Mrs. Joanna Whittaker’s husband. Jackie and Mrs. Whittaker’s son and daughter were very surprised, but instantly felt relaxed. Finally, they decided to use the inheritance from to build a facility for homeless women such as Annie Clayton so that they can live comfortably. If I wrote this book, the ending would not have happy end. If I were a son or daughter of Mrs. Whittaker, I couldn’t accept Jackie who is the son of my father’s lover. I would write that they can’t accept the illegitimate child, b...

Matilda week11

Today, I want to write my favorite scene of this story. Matilda, the lead role, is a girl genius; however, her parents don’t think so, rather, they think she is stupid. She likes reading books very much, so she asks them to give a book, but, her father tells it is silly to read books. She gets angry, and decides to pay him back. She puts glues his favorite hat with strong adhesive. He knows nothing about that and puts on the hat. Of course, he can’t take it off. He gets panic! Then, she says to him showing up with an innocent look “what’s the matter, Daddy? Has your head suddenly swollen or something?” I like her character. Her parents are not educational people, rather, child neglect; however, she tries to enjoy her life and never gives up the environment, such as the parents and the nasty principal. If I can be like her, I will make my days more exciting.
