• REFLECTION
  This book is a secret diary of Adrian Mole aged 13 3/4. Adrian believes he is an intellectual and he is certainly a poet.
  There are so many people around him. He lives with his father and mother. By the way, her mother fell in love with Mr Lucas, who is neighbor and fought with her husband very often. Eventually she had gone to Sheffield with Lucas. While she had gone to there, Adrian's father became unemployed and he never went out from his house. The family had no money so Adrian had to work instead of his father. Finally his mother came back home later. His grandmother visits them often. She hates his dirty dog and likes to go to church.
  Nigel is his precious friend but he loved Pandora, who is a beautiful girl Adrian likes. Later they broke up and Adrian and Pandora loved each other because of the sock protest at his school.
  Adrian takes care of Bert Baxter who are old and communist. Bert used to be alone everyday but now he gets along with Adrian and he
  married Queenie. Everyone celebrated their brave marriage despite of their old age.
  Adrian used to be a normal boy like others. He concerned about his spots everyday. However, he experienced his parents' divorce and had to be a breadwinner for his family. At his school, he fell in love with Pandora so he mentally grew quickly. He became known what is love.
  As he has taken care of Bert Baxter, he could get along with other people. Although his mother had gone to Sheffield, she came back to her family later and his parents lives happily.
  For a year, he experienced very many things. He suffered from problems of his family, poverty and his illness(tonsillitis). However he never gave up his life. On the contrary, he joined lots of movements and had a great time with his friends and neighbors. I was very proud of him. If I were him, I would give up all things.
  From now on, I hope that he has a good time with others and lives with his family happily forever. Also I want his wonderful poem known through BBC !
  It was very funny and it gave me some lessons. I will not give up and overcome everything. And I will smile and smile like Adrian.
