Review

Howl's moving castle
This is a fascinating book written by Diana Wynne Jones. Howl's Moving Castle is the first novel in the series of books called the Howl Series. This series also includes books ''Castle in the Air'' and ''House of Many Ways''. 
This story is about Sophie Hatter, who lives in the town named Market Chipping in the magical kingdom of Ingary. She was working in the father's shop, but was turned into an old crone by the powerful Witch of the Waste. Sophie leaves the shop and finds work as a cleaning lady for the Wizard Howl. Sophie strikes a bargain with Howl's fire-demon, Calcifer: if Sophie can break the contract between Howl and Calcifer, then Calcifer will return Sophie to her original form. What happened later? Read it and find out!

I really recommend Howl's moving castle. It is

The tree of life

Now I stay near the tree of life. It is wonderful! The tree of  life is very huge, I feel that I am so little compared with this fantastic tree! I think it looks like dragon, cat or frog. It has survived in the desert for 400 years! The mesquite tree can develop a very wide and deep root system which helps tree of life stay alive in desert. But local Bedouin tribes believe that the mithical god of water has blessed the tree and has kept it alive and growing all this years. It is truly one of the most fascinating trees around the world!

Doing the right thing

Doing the right thing - what does it mean? We live in cruel world and we need to stay together to stay alive. Also, together we can do our world better or worse, beautiful or awful. We has global problems,  like homelessness, illiteracy, poverty and hunger, that should be solved. Some peoples, named ''volunteers'' try to solve this problems. For example, Mitch McGregor spent three months in Rio de Janeiro, where he taught English to homeless street children. The poverty leads to many broken homes and, if they experience violence at home or their families can't look after them anymore, children end up on the streets. Mitch was going to work in a school which gave those kids a basic education.
Also, scientists try to solve some global problems using different sciences. So, space colonisation can solve a lot of them. Professor Stephen Hawking think that the human race won't survive the next 1000 years unless we spread into space. He still believes it will only be a matter of time before we are living in space.
All in all, doing the right thing do our world better. I believe that everyone can help us little bit to do together new fantastic world.
