Five blogs post review

There are numerous topics in classmates' blogs. There are five ones which I was interested.

The first one is 《The fate of humor》. It was wrote by James M. Cox.James M. Cox pursues the development of Mark Twain's humor through all the forms it took from " The Jumping Frog" to "The Mysterious Stranger. Instead of seeking the seriousness behind the humor, Cox concentrates upon the humor itself as the transfiguring power that converted all the "serious" issues and emotions of Mark Twain's life and time into narratives designed to evoke helpless laughter.In those sudden moments of pleasurable helplessness, we glimpse the great heart of a writer who imagined freedom in the slave society if his youth and discovered slavery in the free country of his old age.

The second one is《A technique for producing ideas》. It was published in 1965. Its powerful guide details a five-step process for gathering information, stimulating imagination, and recombining old elements into dramatic new ideas.

The third one is《The development of memory in children》. Its author is Robert Kail, and it was published by W.H Freeman and Company in New York in 1979. It shows the children's early education and psychology.

The fourth one is 《The best of London》. It was printed in 1982. It introduced London to us. Such as, we can know where we can find nice food in London; where we can enjoy the night life. And we can also find most of the hotels and restaurants in London. It helps me understand more about London.

The fifth one is 《Thailand》.Without any doubt, this book is talking about Thailand. This book recorded the information of Thailand after it was alone from the United States. It introduced the customs and culture of Thailand.
