My favorite book is A Midsummer Night’s Dream written by Shakespeare. I enjoy reading it very much. In the story, there are two parallel(平行的) worlds. One is the human world, and the other is the fairy world(童话世界). Hermia, Helena, Lysander and Demetrius are all human beings. Oberon and Titania are the king and the queen of the fairy world.Hermia is my favorite character in this story because she is independent and has the courage to fight for her own choices. Her father suggests that sh e marry Demetrius, but she doesn’t love Demetrius. Instead she loves Lysander and decides to run away with him. Later, because of a trick played by the fairy king, Lysander falls in love with Helena. Hermia feels hurt, but she doesn’t give up. Her decision leads to the story’s happy ending.I also love Oberon, the fairy king, very much. He loves playing tricks. He quarrels(吵架) a lot with the queen because of his jealousy(嫉妒). When he loses to the queen, he plays a trick on her. In many other stories I have read a king is always serious and powerful. Oberon is very different and acts like a child!In A Mid summer Nights Dream, I find characters of different personalities. That is why I think the book is so interesting. The story shows us what life is like in an imaginative and humorous way. 1. Who is the author(作者) of A Midsummer Night’s Dream?A．Mark Twain. B．Shakespeare. C．MargaretMitchell.D．Charlotte Brontë.2.
