"Gone with the Wind" . Margaret Mitchell

      The fifth book that I read was "Gone with the Wind" and it was part two. The author is Margaret Mitchell. It's published by Addison Wesley Longman Limited and Penguin Books Ltd. The reading level is 4 (intermediate). This book has 56 pages and 1700 words.
      It's the second book of "Gone with the Wind". The American Civil War is now over and nothing is the same for the Southerners. The laws have changed and also the people. But Scarlett hasn't changed- she'll still do everything to get what she wants. I must say that it was even more interesting than the first book, because the first one was more about war, but the second one about human relationships and Scarlett surprised me again. It was also quite dramatic book, because there were many unexpected deaths. It also changed my opinions about some characters, for example about Rhett Butler. I understood that he acted quite as a pig sometimes, but he did it, because he loved Scarlett. And what surprised me about Scarlett, was that she desired something she didn't got, but when she had it, she didn't want it anymore. The same went with Ashley. When his wife died, she realized that she didn't love him and that she loved Rhett, who didn't want her anymore. This book was interesting to read from the beginning to the end. I would definitely recommend it to my classmates. It's one of the best and most interesting books that I've read so far.
      This book was again at a good level to read for me. But I still found some new words, like: sawmill- saeveski; Ku-Klux-Klan- valgete salajane grupp, mis karistas (peamiselt mustanahalisi) selle eest, mis on nende arust kuritegu isegi, kuigi seadus nii ei arvanud; delay- viivitama; smooth- siluma; a bad head- peavalu.
