  Reading Journal         By    Maysaya  Onsri  6031006180/  Section  5        This  journal  is  submitted  in  partial  fulfillment  of  the  requirements  for  English  reading  and  writing  1  course  of  Liberal  Arts  in  English  Program,  Mae  Fah  Luang  University  First  semester  2018    

  Week  2            Title:  Hilary  Mantel  turns  to  Lady  Thatcher  as  inspiration  for  next   book          Author:  Robert  Dex   Source:  https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-­‐ entertainment/books/news/hilary-­‐mantel-­‐turns-­‐to-­‐lady-­‐thatcher-­‐as-­‐ inspiration-­‐for-­‐next-­‐book-­‐9065472.html       Summary     Hilary   Mantel   dissecting   the   16th-­‐century   court   intrigues   of   King   Henry   VIII’s   adviser   Thomas   Cromwell,   is   turning   her   attention   to   a   more  modern  politician   The   novelist’s   next   book,   to   be   published   in   September,   will   be   a   collection   of   short   stories   called   The   Assassination   of   Margaret   Thatcher.   Publishers   were   reluctant   to   discuss   possible   plotlines,   but   confirmed   the   former   prime   minister   features   as   a   character   in   the   book  which  is  made  up  of  10  stories  with  “contemporary  settings”.   Nicholas   Pearson   said:   “Where   her   last   two   novels   explore   how  modern   England   was   forged,   The   Assassination   of   Margaret   Thatcher  shows  us  the  country  we  have  become.”   Mantel   topped   the   bestseller   lists   for   Bring   Up   the   Bodies   and   Wolf  Hall,   both   of   which   won   the   Booker.   But   she   has   not   been   afraid   to  speak   out   about   Britain   today.   Last   year   she   attacked   the   Duchess   of  Cambridge  as  a  “shop-­‐window  mannequin”  with  no  personality.   My  reaction/reflection:     In  this  news  I  think  woman  has  a  strong  power  to  do  anything.  In   terms  of  news  writing, I  think  the  news  is  a  little  bit  hard  to  read  and   hard  to  understand.       Page  2  of  5    

 New  words  learned:  (At  least  five  new  words  that  you  have  learned)   New  Words   Definitions  1. Dissect   To  cut  up  the  body  of  a  dead  animal  or   *Verb*   person  in  order  to  study  it  2. Intrigue   Ex:  The  book  dissects  historical  data  to  show   *Verb*   how  Napoleon  ran  his  army.    3. Reluctant   *Adjective*   If  something  intrigues  you,  it  interests  you  a   lot  because  it  seems  strange  or  mysterious  4. Assassination    5. Mannequin   Ex:  Other  people’s  houses  always  intrigued   her.         Slow  and  unwilling     Ex:  She  gave  a  reluctant  smile.     The  act  of  murdering  an  important  person     Ex:  There  was  tension-­‐ Gligorov  survived  an  assassination  attempt-­‐ but  no  fighting.     A  model  of  the  human  body,  used  for   showing  clothes  in  shopwindows     Ex:  Her  skin  was  clear  and  pure,  like   the  plastic  on  a  mannequin.         Page  3  of  5
