"Gone with the Wind" . Margaret Mitchell

      The fourth book that I read is called "Gone with the Wind". This books has 2 parts and I read the first one. Author is Margaret Mitchell and publisher is Addison Wesley Longman Limited and Penguin Books. It's reading level is 4 (intermediate). This book has 56 pages and 1700 words.
      This book talks about love and war. Young girl named Scarlett O'Hara are in love with handsome young man Ashley Wilkes. But when she tells him about her feelings, but Ashley don't reply to them. Then comes a war and Ashley has to go to the army and in anger, Scarlett marries to Charles Hamilton. But then she becomes a widow and another man comes in her life and there's also a war going on... I like this book very much, because it has a romantic, sad and exciting story in it. I read it through almost with a day, because I couldn't put it away. Every chapter left some mystery in the air and I wanted to know, what happens next. It also made me realise what were people going through during the war. I'd certainly recommend this book to my classmates, because it's a very enrapturing book. I'd rate this book good.
      The reading level was at a good for me. I also found some new words, like: typhoid- tüüfus; shells falling- suurtükimürskude langemine; Confederacy- Lõuna-Ameerika osariigid; wagon path- vaguni/vanrki tee; blacken- laimama; lay (adj)- võhiklik; heart grow hard- süda lõi tugevasti; faint-minestus.
