3. Accidents made Jo unhappy bees killed people
4. Will you leave the town which you live in if there are some accidents?
-No, because I will miss my residence and I can't survive.
5. This book told me about the importance of my family. "If I miss my residence, what should I do to survive for a long time?" I thought about it while reading. It was difficult for me to do that because I have never experienced that I miss my home. In March 11th, Touhoku earthquake happened and many people missed their home. The accident made them very sad, but the people in Touhoku area made efforts to go back their home. I think that it is related to Jo which is main character in this book. It is said that Toukai big earthquake will haappen. This book gave me much chance to think about what I should do.

When she go back home, she realized that something changed.

"She screamed. She looked at her hand. There was a red mark and the skin was turning punk around".
When I read this phrase, I thought it is going to be end, because in that situation was terrible and so nervous which made me so afraid.
It was kind of panic story and it keeps me nervous till the end. The words are easy to understand and also could image the situation easily so it was helpful to read. And the story was great and I love it.

4." A small, dark cloud was in the sky."
I was surprised at it, because the cloud was bees. It was very terrible!!
5. If this phenomenon happen all over the world, it is a big problem. I can't believe it. However we can't say that it will never happen.
I hope it will not happen in the future.

4. This story is about bees. A few years ago, millions of bees had dead, so many fruits and vegetables haven't grown. Scientists started to study to change their genes and made them more stronger. As a result, people who live in that area had to move another area.
I thought this story was like adventure story and thrilling and I enjoyed to read.
5. I don't like this story because I don't like bees, too. If there were many bees in my hometown, I will be very afraid of them and I won't go out.
