Potato People.

Yes, I like the ending of the novel, 'Potato People'. Patrick Flynne and Marie survived the difficult journey to America. In the new country, life was tough. After many years of hardship and struggle, their efforts were finally rewarded. They married each other. Finally, Patrick became a cattle rancher in California, and he never turned away any hungry person from his home. The ending is truly an inspiring one to me.

Dr.Jekyll and Mr Hyde

I like the novel ,"Dr .Jekyll and Mr Hyde" because the plot is goog .It is spine -chilling and full of suspence .The novel is about a brillint scientist ,Dr .Jekyll whose desire to become evil prompt him to experiment a drug so that he can become evil when he feels like it .He succeeds at first to lead a double life but finds that it is increasingly difficult to revert to his good self once he assumes the personality of the evil Edward Hyde .He has no choice but to kill himself .I also like the story because it teaches me not to become evil .If we are evil ,we will eventually be punished ,just like Mr .Hyde.

Potato People.

Yes I like the story of the novel, 'Potato People'. The story is interesting. It tells about the suffering caused by the food famine during the Irish 'potato blight' in 1840's. many Irish folk rushed to the port in York, hoping to migrate to the New World, America. Its message for readers is that one ought to control one's destiny and work hard towards achieving a better life; like patrick Flynne and Marie. In the end, thye settled down in California and became cattle ranchers. I am inspired by the story.
