mini講義まとめ

ミニ講義まとめ・Enid Brownについて最も有名と言われているイギリスの作家で、１９世紀の終わりに誕生（Rumer Goddenと同じ時期）し、非常に多くの子供向けの本を書いた。1960年代に死去したあとも、その人気は未だに顕在し、たくさん売られている。・イギリスの本についてイギリスでは話は異なるが、同じキャラクターを使うケースが多く、３０か４０以上話があるものもある。例えばRumer Godden作の”Diddakoi”では、主人公Kizzyについて、この1冊のみかかれているが、”Little Plum”という作品にでてくるNonaとBelindaは”Ms Happiness”, “Ms Flower”という他の本にも登場している。他にも、８歳から１５歳の女の子に人気のある”Mallory Towers”という寮生の女子高校の話があるが、ここに出てくる登場人物は”St. Claire’s”という別の本にも使われている。このように、イギリスでは同一人物が複数の作品に違う話で登場するケースは本以外にドラマでも多く見られる。

Summary and Response of Diddakoi

Summary & Response of ‘Diddakoi’ It is a story of Kizzy, a diddakoi, a half-gypsy. After her grandma died, she is brought up by some kind people. At first, she shuts her heart to everyone so it is hard to communicate. However, thanks to everyone’s love, she gradually opens her heart. I think Kizzy was in a hard circumstance for the moment because she lost her grandma. Also, she is not used to non Gypsy's manners and customs, and the differences of sense of worth. The kindness of admiral, Peters, Nuts and Olivia was great. The most interesting thing for me was Kizzy's struggle.
