The story of Heidi

When Clara stood up, he was astonished and when she walked up to him, he had to sit down.   “Is it really you?” he said. “I can’t believe it. You’re walking!”     “Isn’t it wonderful,” laughed Clara. “Grandfather and Heidi made it happen.”    “And Peter,” Grandfather put in, his eyes twinkling.     “You did it, Clara,” said Heidi. “It was your hard work.”     “It’s a miracle,” Mr. Sesemann beamed. “Clara I’m proud of you. Thank you, thank you everyone.” 

   We talked about this book in the literature circle this week. Heidi is a little girl in Switzerland. Unfortunately, she has no father or mother so she lives with her grandfather in his little wooden house. She is really active and has curiosity to anything. However, one day, her aunt Dete takes her to Frankfurt in order to go to school. Then, she meets Clara Sesemann who sits in her wheelchair every day. One of Heidi's friend, Peter is jealous of Clara because she is always with Heidi and they seem to have better friendships than his. So he decides to break Clara's wheelchair to make her go home.

   In our literature circle, connector asked us we had ever felt jealous of our friends. Of course, I have felt the emotion to my friend. When I was a high school student, I played badminton. Then, I often envied someone who can play it better than I. Other literature circle members have also experienced similar things to mine. Our discussion is getting better little by little. I'm looking forward to the next literature circle.😊
