My favourite book is The Old Man and the Sea. It was written in 1952 by the American writer Ernest Hemingway.
The book became popular very quickly. In 1953, it won the Pulitzer Prize.
The main character is a fisherman who hasn’t caught anything for months. One day he catches a huge fish, but he has to fight for days to kill it. He finally succeeds, but he can't pull the fish onto his boat. when the fisherman is on his way back, sharks eat the fish, leaving nothing but bones.
This book has taught me not to give up or doubt myself. I'm inspired by how hard the fisherman fights, even though he loses the fish in the end. As Hemingway said, "Man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed but not defeated."
Even though I've already read the book three times, I’m not tired of it yet. If you've never read Ernest Hemingway, I recommend this book.

Title Hamlet Writer William Shakespeare
Main characters Hamlet, the old King of Denmark, the Queen, Hamlet’s uncle Type of book play
Summary In this play, the ghost of the old King of Denmark tells his son, Hamlet, that he was killed by Hamlet's uncle. After his death, Hamlet's uncle became the King of Denmark. Hamlet pretends to be mad while he searches for the truth, and Hamlet's uncle decides to kill him to cover up his actions. Sadly, the story ends with the tragic deaths of the King, Queen, and Hamlet himself.
My opinion This book has helped me to understand what it's like to survive and do the best I can, even when I have to carry a great weight on my shoulders. The story is exciting and yet so sad that I cried in some places.
Quote from the book “ To be, or not to be, that is the question.”
