READING AND WRITING 2 HARRIS BOOK REPORT 3
15, MAY. 2013 INSIDE Just as the author, Victor Hugo, a great writer who underwent almost all the major incidents of nineteen century in France, predicted, Notre Dame de Paris was perfectly knit together by realism and romanticism. And this grand building tolerated all of this, no matter the beauty or the evil, standing by the Seine quietly over the six hundred years, and shared the timeless story with us.

As we all know, a Chinese movie actress, L, spent more than one million dollars on her wedding ceremony, while which was exactly Bill Gates, the richest man in the world, once spent on a charity party, aiming to build clinics in the south of Africa to help the natives to live a better life. I am not sure whether she
will be happier if she spend the money in helping the children who may be suffering from Malaria or other epidemics in Africa. But
