My first impression of Little Paradise started when I looked at the cover. It made me interested since I wanted to know who the lady in the Cheongsam on the cover was, what her face looks like.
After reading the first two chapters I wondered what would happen to the relationship between Mirabel and her friend Rose, and her bond with her family. As I read the first few chapters, I enjoyed learning new expressions. Such as, once Rose said to Mirabel, ‘if you want to change a person’s way of thinking, you need to find something you have in common.’ Also I learned some new words, such as, puzzled, sniffing, squint, shrug, trudge, cyclone, linger.
On page 55, the third paragraph was setting in Mirabel’s cousin’s birthday party, which gave the chance to Mirabel met the Chinese soldiers, JJ, for the first time. It was the starting point of the whole romance story between Mirabel and JJ. Being with someone you love has enough power to create a little paradise between you two in your heart.
In their paradise, JJ and Mirabel are each other’s angel. Many “first times” happened on Mirabel after she met JJ: first time made her own decision, first time fell in love with someone, first time pregnant, first time left her family, first time tried to protect someone else and so on.
Because of JJ, Mirabel changed from a good, obedient daughter to a brave, independent woman.
The author described emotion, expression, scene, and bearing in details about both Mirabel and JJ. Additionally, I learnt some words from this paragraph, such as, graze, intense, intelligent and straightened.
