Quotation
I think the most important scene out this book is when Michael drives in his car with the bomb in the bag, he must decided what he should do. He has two things to do, the one thing is he could let explode the bomb and all the people in the hotel get killed. Or he must call the police to say there is a bomb in his car and let evacuate the hotel, but when he does that the IRA will kill his wife. So I think the most important scene is when he must decide what he must do. When he drives with his car to the hotel and must think what to do. And then later in the shop opposite the hotel the moment that he decided to call, to make that decision. Because it’s a big decision to make and he must choose one. And that kind of decision will stay at your mind your whole life. Especially when he had chosen the wrong thing. But he chose the good thing because nobody was killed. That’s what the story is going about. When he had chosen the other option it was maybe al wrong. And he knew that Moira would be angry because he risked her life or maybe dead when the IRA killed her, but when so many innocent people get killed it either isn’t fair. So it is a big deal to make that kind of decision
My own opinion
My own opinion about this book, I liked this book. It was easy to read there were not much difficult words and long sentences. It was also a nice story. I like stories that are exciting and this one was a very exciting story, because it was every time very unexpectable what happened and you couldn’t know how the story goes on. Especially the end was very wonderful, because I expected something hole different. There is also in the hold book a spanning and that’s why I couldn’t stop reading it.
About the way of work together, I found it nice to work together. There weren’t problems because we had good deals. Everyone knew what he has to do. And we had a good planning, because we must read every lesson 50 pages and so the book was quickly out. And then we good start to make the report. We could also help each other with English and help each other with doing their part. That’s to fine thing of work together. And it is also much more sociable then work alone.
