Book Review 7

I read ‘The Coat’.
There is a boy whose name is Mark. He is listening under the window at old Mr. Crowe’s house. If he moved away now, he might be seen. Mr. Crowe found his old coat. But, a woman put it out for the garbage truck this morning. Mark thought she must be Mr. Crowe’s daughter. It was not just a coat for the old man. He said, “The pockets were full of treasure!” Mark amazed when he head about that. He had to find the coat at once. He ran his house to get his bicycle. Mike followed the truck and he could feel the sweat running down his back. He is only thinking about the treasure. He wondered what could be in the pockets. For example, he thought that there would be diamonds, emeralds, rubies or hundreds of dollars at least. The thought of it kept him going. Then, he reached the top of hill. He stopped behind the truck. Finally, he found the coat and picked up his bike. Mark went home soon. He spread out the coat. There was an old watch, photo of a young woman and so on. He checked through the pockets again, but there was nothing in the pocket. He was disappointed about that. After that, He decided to give this coat to Mr. Crowe. “I found this coat,” said Mark. Mr. Crowe looked surprised when he took his coat from Mark. But, he looked so happy.
I was moved by this story. The hero, Mark was very kind boy.(260words)(2.2points)
