The Memento - Reading Circles

I've chosen this story because I think it was interesting, a bit funny and sad at the same time. But obviously I have learnt a lot about men.

This story was about an actress who has no future in the theatre world. She had a friend, actress too, that was very beautiful and young, and she had much success on stage because she appeared in a swing and she "flew" in the air and all men stood up because her yellow garter fell down and all of them wanted to catch it. She decided to left theatres because of men.
One day they met and her friend told her her story. She met a man and she fell in love, but he didn't know she was actress. She thought he was different to the other men, but he had a secret, he had a memento from another lover he had, and sometimes he looked at it to remembered her. She wanted to know  what was it, and she found it: it was a yellow garter of one of  her performances! Finally, he was like all men!

I can connect this story with our life, because there are men! I don't think all men are equal, but there are some of them that are like the man of the story and they can do what this man do, having a wife!

My favourite passage was: "Well, I saved two hundred dollars and when summer came, I left the theatre and went to a little village by the sea on Long Islands. I planned to stay there for the summer, and then learn how to be a better actress" It's something I would like to do, forget everything and stay along for a few time to think about life.

My favourite character is, obviously the actress Miss Rosalie Ray, because she is a free spirit and she do what she wants, and I admire that.

I have learnt new vocabulary like this words:
Garter: a band, usually of elastic, worn around the arm or leg to hold up a shirt sleeve, sock, or stocking.
Swing: to move or cause to move rhythmically to and fro, as a free-hanging object.

In my opinion, It's the best story in the book and I think Reading Circle was a funny experience and interesting too, because had to do different things and we learned about everything. We improved our English too, because we have to told us the things we had to do. I like this experience.
