Book Report on The CORAL ISLAND
《THE CORAL ISLAND》 was the fiction that brought the English author robert micheal ballantine his first renown. The story was happend to three main characters named :JACK MARTIN 、RALPH ROVER 、 PETERKIN GAY in the mystery coral island of the southern pacific .The three young boys have landed the shore of coral island after their ship had fallen into the angry waves and thus they have been through much difficulties as well as wonterful things on the desert island and around:a fierce shark、water garden、diamond cave、pig sticking、man-eaters......at the end ,they left the rememberable island and made their way home.
As I mentioned it at my first paragraph ,there were three young boys as the main characters of this fiction .Let me tell you what they exactly look like and the personality of each of them.first ,"I" —RALPH ROVER .RALPH was a 15 years old boy who was fond of wandering very much,he used to be quiet and listen to his companions ' talk ,he has good insight and got along patiently with the troublesome.As I see it ,he was the most ordinary one among the three .But anyhow,the writer needs someone to stay quiet thus describeb everything in his heart to readers ,to let them know the plots of the whole fiction instead of being busy with showing his own opinions and charisma.Therefore, no description about RALPH 's appearance has been found in the fiction.As for PETERKIN who was a cheeky boy for me,he was little(the youngest boy ,only 14-year-old),quick、funny,but his fun was almost always harmless,such as making exaggerated facial expressions,I guess that's why everyone fancied to have him.He was just childish,sometimes couldn't be thoughtful ,also lack of observation ,sometimes made some stupid mistakes or asked some questions which everyone knew the answers .On the other hand,he always in need ,helpful .His jokes could ease his companions' pain,his positive emotion could light up his fellows' gray world .That he was:looked foolish, smart inside.The last one—— JACK MARTIN,was my favourite.he was a tall、broad-shouldered youth of eighteen, with a handsome ,pleasant,firm face.he was well-educated 、clever and wild in his actions,but mild and quiet by nature.undoubtly he was the leader of their,for his consideration、courage、mature thought、intelligence、insight、kindliness、bondless knowledge about the coral island ,he should be a perfect captain as well as a promising young.I was impressed by the experiences that he saved his fellows' life from hopeless circumstances many times ,I appreciated his courage and intelligence .He should be a hero ,I love him .
