Cranford
Life in the small English town of Cranford seems very quiet and peaceful. The ladies of Cranford lead tidy, regular lives. They make their visits between the hours of twelve and three, give little evening parties, and worry about their maid-servants. But life is not always smooth - there are little arguments and jealousies, sudden deaths and unexpected marriages... Mrs Gaskell's timeless picture of small-town life in the first half of the nineteenth century has delighted readers for nearly 150 years.

Chapter1-3
7words: Cranford women rules poor captain kind die
Q. Almost all Japanese worry about keeping up appearances. Do you worry about it, too?
A. Yes, I do. I cannot ignore it. It is because if I do silly or rude things to other people, it leads to lose not only my credit but also my families' one.
This story is about one society. I could not enjoy this book. Therefore, I do not finish this book, but next week I will try other book.

4a.Life in the small English town of Cranford seems very quiet and peaceful. The ladies of Cranford lead tidy, regular lives. But, life is not always smooth.
b.Of course I always read a passage before borrowing a book. I thought that it sounds interesting because I thought the story would be nice and peace but sometimes sad things would happened.
5.There is a narrator in this book.(a narrative book?) Actually, it took time for me to read and understand this story. I think the person who has good reading comprehension should read this!! I should have changed the book but I didn't have time...
