A Story Using Two Characters

As I talked about our actibity in the English conversation club before, I chose two characters, i.e. Melanie ( in “Gone with the Wind") and Hillary Clinton, and then made a story.

Melanie was a thoughtful woman. She always cared about others more than herself. Many people were helped by her kind and merciful mind. Scarlet ( a heroin in Gone With the Wind) took for granted that she should have been was treated like a queen by surrounded surrounding men. She was selfish and thought that even Melanie’s husband loved her better than Melanie. On the other hand, Melanie covered up Scarlet even when the bad rumor between her husband and Scarlet had spread.

Hillary Clinton was Melanie’s granddaughter and sometimes visited her grandma’s house in the South. Hillary was logical and very smart and often helped weak people by her job skills as a lawyer. She always thought that Melanie should express herself more openly and should demand Scarlet to be more moderate. She was often irritated by the fact that Melanie was too patient. However, she was also comforted by Melanie. When Hillary was worried about her husband’s affairs and felt depressed, Melanie consoled her and cheered her up, saying “You must make allowance for each other’s faults and forgive the person who offends you. Remember God forgives you, so you must forgive others.”

Hi, Taka from Kyoto
Thank you very much for your comment. Yes, it is difficult to find a common topic which every generation is interested in. Perhaps, my American teacher must think which topic to choose. In my club. members vary from teenager to middle seventies. That's very interesting. I am sometimes surprised to know young people like classical literature 罪と罰、蟹工船 and so on. 太宰治 is still popular among young people. I think that Gone With the Wind is one of the greatest classical movies(novels) still now, but actually my daughter has not seen the movie.

Hello
It seemed that conversation club is very enjoyable and the skill of the member is very well.
Usually, it is very difficult to find the common topic, because our generation is different and skill is different too.
I think that I try to talk about the topic, which is better for young generation.
Next time, I will begin about a hero of sport, Kiyohara or Naito or someone will be.
After that, I recommend to talk about Melanie and Hillary, but I am afraid that young member do not know about Melanie.
See you! (^^)/

Thank you very much for your comment, Anima.
Oh, you think yourself is closer to Melanie... . Sounds great! Melanie isn't a heroin in Gone With the Wind, but I can't talk about the story without her. Although she looks weak, she is the greatest and strongest mentally in the story. I respect her very much. It's one of my pleasures to meet fine people in films and novels.

instructive story!

It's a nice story, ruruan!
I think myself is closer to Melanie... not as patient as her though.
Hillary is a clever woman I think. Clever and strong.
I guess actually someone like Melanie consoled her when Bill had an affair...
She showed her strength and forgiveness to her husband.
Her attitude to the public was also respectful I think.
The activity in your English conversation club is interesting and it sounds very enjoyable.
Being creative is such a nice thing!
