The Mystery of Allegra

Allegra is an unusual name. It means ‘happy’ in Italian, but the little girl in this story is sometimes very sad. She is only five years old, but she tells Adrian, her new friend, that she is going to die soon.

Fill the air with music. Fill the house with light. Fill the sleepy lovers' heads With happy dreams tonight. (p.47) This wonderful story of fairlies, dreams and lovers is as popular today as it was in Shakespeare's time. In a wood outside Athens, for young people are following their dreams, while fairlies play strange games with them. Their world seems unreal. I read Shakespeare's book for the first time, and it was an interesting story. I can't believe that fairlies have some problems as humans.

This is written by Dickens, who is my favorite author.This is a sad love story during the French Revolution.  The main character is two men. Carton is a lawyer, French and Darnay came to France from the U.K as a refugee. Their looks are very similar but not in character and they fell in love with the same woman, Lucy. I felt sorry for Carton, because he died for Darnay and she loves Darney. Moreover Darnay married with Lucy after that. If I were Carton, I can't stand it.
