'Why English for married women?'

Hi, everyone!

Today is October 25th. It is hard to recognize autumn season, isn’t it?

I reread Plum’s book ‘Why English for married women?’ today. I have felt deeply the necessity of improvement with my English these day, and I wonder how I work efficiently for it. But my brain has decreased its capacity…

About a month ago, I asked about Italian cooking to a neighborhood school. But even now, I don’t have any answers from that school. I don’t feel like asking one more time, and will give up learning cook there. I dream of being good cook.

I hope you enjoyed it, dear friends.
Good bye!

Dear Cherry and friends,

Hello. How are you?
Did you see the color of trees?
They are changing colors. The roadside ginkgo trees are yellow.
I saw yellow butterflies yesterday. It was so sunny and warm that
they probably mistook it was spring. Imagine butterflies near ginkgo trees.
Yellow butterflies looked like leaves falling from trees.

Talking about “yellow”, I finished reading “Yellow Wall Paper.”
I have once seen the movie because the Capilano College library had one.
I borrowed it and saw it in the library 2 years ago.
It was a gloomy movie and I wondered how the story went in the book.
The movie was loyal to the original story except the pattern of the wall paper. In fact, it must be impossible to visualize such a pattern the heroine saw in her bedroom. In the movie the wallpaper looks harmless.
From the original story, all I could imagine was a horrible, dreadful and suffocating pattern of wallpaper. Moreover, she saw many women behind the wallpaper.

It is a very tricky story. It surprised me as I was surprised at a suspense novel written by Agatha Christie whose style was monologue and in which the main character finally confessed he was the murderer.

Now I'm reading about articles about Gilman.
Judging from her actual life, Gilman herself seems the last person who would go crazy in spite of all the difficulties she might have faced against.

By the way, Cherry, what is the Japanese title of the book you read?
