5 Apple Books for Korean Girls

Apple Books for Korean girls

Nowadays in Korea, girls and boys are exposed to the English language from their primary school days. This article attempts to recommend to those children, especially girls, sending them more facile and sound challenges from the English-speaking world.

 

Little Women by Louisa May Alcott

This book is jolly, while having length, especially when all the sequels were read (Little Men and Jo's Boys). It is simple and refreshing and alive, especially in characterization that is busy being formed as the reading is carried out. In short, the March girls keep marching. Better reading if the reader is a Christian girl.

 

A Little Princess, Little Lord Fauntleroy, and Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett

These books were authored at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. Secret Garden is more polished, sophisticated and soulful, full of things (Yorkshire moor, gardens, and plants) and characters (Yorkshire-speak, a boy who believes he is going to be a hunchback when he grows up, and a robin) But the other two books are extremely readable for younger readers, with their own dramatic twists and turns.

 

Daddy-Long-Legs and Dear Enemy by Jean Webster

Dated a hundred years since 1912, Daddy-Long-Legs is bright and extremely jubilant, while the main character, starting from naught, juggles her time, effort and passion to become an author and to grow up to be a normal college girl. Dear Enemy, the extreme and forward sequel, features her college friend ending up in charge of a big orphanage.

 

Shakespeare plays

Seen from a certain, far perspective, these plays, tragic or comic, together can form a magical forest with deep colours, where extremely varied characters wander about it, weaving moving plots around themselves. Females in emotional turmoil are featured with especial care. Written in 16th and 17th century, there are some antique words, but all in all extremely readable.

 

Emily Dickinson's poems

A personage known for being "the" woman poet, Dickinson, until after her demise in Massachusetts in 1886, was not known for her poems in her life. Later published and in good reputation, her favourite themes were love, death and spirit.

 

A Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë

A romantic and stormy work born in 1847, this book has concentrated trouble for its emotional, agonizing, and tormenting characters. The flint of a death-defying love is left in the big house of Earnshaw, and ignites another kind of love in the younger generation.

 

Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson

Adventurous in its very soul, hidden treasure, curses and mutiny follow the boy Jim Hawkins and mysterious Long John Silver in this 1883 novel. Outgoing girls may palpitate at this selection.
