hello, everyone .today i want to introduce one of my favourite novels. first let’s enjoy a video about it.
yes, this is the novel i’d like to introduce--.it is written by alice sebold, an american author. and in last year it was adapted（改编） into a movie by peter jackson, who is famous for his magic products—lord of rings. the movie is also very good.
after seeing the video, you may think this novel is frightening. i want to say ‘no, it’s not a horror fiction’. the novel tells about the thoughts of a murdered girl called susie after she was dead. she cannot forget her families and her lover .she stays in her own perfect world, watching their life. however, if the dead don’t forget the alive or don’t leave them for the heaven, people who are alive will not forget the sadness and cannot be cured by time.
somebody may think it’s a story about justice. but i want to say :’ no.’ at the end of the story , susie was able to come back to stay a few minutes with her boy .the last thing she want is only a kiss. she didn’t care about the punishment of the murder and just wish people all a long and happy life. that is what the novel wants to told us: love is always more important than hate. and ‘a family ,is like the bones all over one’s body .even though one piece breaks down and the others may feel sorry about it for some time , the dead are gone and the life is to be continued .
if one day u die,
if u are in in-between,
if u are in such a edge（边缘）of love and hate, hope and despair（绝望）.
what is your choice?
in a word, this is a moving novel that tells us the meaning of love and death. i believe when you read it, it can touch the softest corner of your heart.
that’s all, thank you.
