Summary:
        The name of the book I read is Tree Sharks the story of Nelson Mandela. Last time I forgot to say that. At that time in South Africa, Dutch ruled the country. They made law in order to segregate black and white. For example, black couldn't enter the areas that white lived in. Black couldn't have class, go to hosptial, restaurant, etc, which is only for white. Mandela recruited volunteers and organized a group against the apartheid laws. However, he was arrested. He was put into a prison in a isolated island. He said: I just hope we will be equal."

Reaction:
        After I read it, I think Nelson Mandela was a great leader. In a such tough situation, he never gave up the hope. He said he didn't want to use the weapon to kill people, he wanted to solve the problem by peace way. He said everyone was common, everyone had a kind heart. It encouraged me. I love to read it. It makes me learn a lot. I think some ideas which Mandela said can also use in today's life. It's worth learning from him.

        Writter used the word which Nelson Madela and his friend recalled as the beginning, Nelson Madela said that time was very painful for them, he was put in jail by conquerors who were from Europe. Invaders wanted to seek cotton, coffee, minerals from South Africa, they made the apartheid for stopping native people being against their domination. In fact, not only apartheid, conquerors also killed native people, they treated blacks as slaves, let native people to do work for them. Conquerors took away food, diamonds, and resources, left pain to native people. South Africa was suffering a catastrophe. Nelson Madela wanted to save native people, he desired fair. He studied hard since he was very young, he wanted to do something when he could.
        In my opinion, I am very interested in this book, because I like history, I am interested in reading something about history, it can not only learn the new knowledge, but it can learn something, such as experience, methods,etc, from history.That time in South Africa, native people were in great pain, they had not way to fight against conquerors becasuse inferior condition and superisition, they just waited whites to decide their lives. It's a very miserable thing. Nelson Madela wanted to save native people, he desired fair. Nelson Madela was a great man, he suffered pain, then he grew up as a man. In today's world, I think everyone has ambition to make dream come true should learn from Nelson Madela, never gives up!
