A book review

Hello,

In this post, I'm going to write a book review. This is a very important book for me.

It's called "Of Mice and Men", which was translated as "Fareler ve İnsanlar" into Turkish. It is a short novel. It was written by John Steinbeck, who is a famous American author. It was first published in 1937, and it originally has got 107 pages.

This is the cover of the book in first edition in 1937.

The main characters of the book are George and Lennie. George is short, but he is a strong man. Also, he is Lennie's best friend. On the other hand, Lennie is very tall and very strong, but he is mentally disabled. In other words, he is like a baby. He cannot do anything without George's help. He always asks George before he does something.

Lennie and George in the film version of the book.

George and Lennie live together. They have a dream; they want to make a lot of money and buy a farm and live there happily ever after. For this, they need to work. So, they go to a big farm and start to work there. However, Lennie's mental disability causes some big problems in the farm.

I love this book, and it is one of my favourite novels. Strong points of the book is the characters and the plot. The main characters, George and Lennie, are very well developed. You can feel the bond between them. And the most important part is the plot. It has got a shocking ending. The weak point is that some events develop too fast. However, I strongly recommend it to you if you like novels about friendship. By the way, if you have read Cengiz Aytmatov's "Beyaz Gemi" and liked it, then you must definitely read this book too.

Have you read "Of Mice and Men" before? If yes, you can tell me what you think about it in the comment section. 

Thanks for reading. Goodbye!

My Favourite Books and Films

 Hello, In this post, I'm going to tell you about my favourite books and films. First, my favourite books are " 1984 ", " Beyaz Gemi " and " Of Mice and Men ".        " 1984 " is a novel by George Orwell. I love it because it is a perfect description of a corrupted political system. I like " Beyaz Gemi " because it is a perfect story of an orphaned boy in a Turkic land. " Of Mice and Men"  is a great story of two best friends. My favourite films are " Terminator 2 " and " Interstellar ". I like " Terminator 2"  because it's the first sci-fi film I watched when I was a child. I loved it at first sight. " Interstellar"  is one of the best sci-fi films I have ever seen. I love sci-fi films in general. That's all about me. What about you? What are your favourite books and films? Tell me about them in the comments section below. Goodbye until next time!

A review of an app

 Hello everyone, In this post, I'm going to write a review of an app/website. It's called Duolingo. It's a language-learning app. Millions of people use it, and I started to use it last year. I use it once a day because I practise French on it. It's a great app because it's free and very easy to use. All you need is to choose the language you want to learn and do some fun activities on it. You can hear all the sentences in questions. Also you can repeat some sentences using your microphone. It will tell you if you pronounce it correctly. It's fun. You can also read and listen to stories in there. Last but not least, it has got both an app and website version, and they're compatible! In my opinion, there is only one problem with it. You cannot watch any videos. It's only listening. It would be great if we could hear some real people using the language. Overall, it's a perfect app and if you want to practise and learn a language by yourself, you should...

My favourite artist

  Hello everyone, In this post, I'm going to write about my favourite artist. He is called Banksy. He is from England, and he is a street artist. He has got millions of followers on social media. For example, more than 10 million people follow him on Instagram. There is something really interesting about him: Nobody knows who he really is. In other words, he is an anonymous artist. He just paints a picture on a wall (mural) in a city somewhere around the world, and it gets famous right away, but he usually does it in England. Unfortunately, some of his artwork is erased afterwards because people don't know it was Banksy, who painted it. Sometimes people erase his artwork because they don't like the message in it, or it is wiped out because some say it is vandalism. Here are a couple of examples of his artwork that I like. A Banksy graffiti about global warming Banksy made this in Palestine. Banksy on refugee crisis I like his art because it always has a message. He draws ab...
