Black BeautyMujtaba Hasan | Class III-A | Student Correspondent TBT | Beaconhouse Gulshan Primary Branch VI Karachi Author: Anna Sewell Adopted by: Mary Sebag-Montefiore Illustrated by: Alan Marks Review: The story is very interesting. It is a fiction story but I like it because it about a brave, big girl. The writer introduced his main character Angelica Longrider. She was born on August 1, 1815. She was a tall girl. She was very brave and performed eye popping wonders. When she was two years old, she built her first log cabin. She loves to help people. She can drink an entire lake dry! The illustration of the story is framed with different types of words. I particularly like the horror and humour of the story. |

[ZEFF-er]

Origin
For centuries, poets have eulogized Zephyrus, the Greek god of the west wind, and his "swete breeth" (in the words of Geoffrey Chaucer). Zephyrus, the personified west wind, eventually evolved into zephyr, a word for a breeze that is westerly or gentle, or both. Breezy zephyr blew into English with the help of poets and playwrights, including William Shakespeare, who used the word in his play Cymbeline: "Thou divine Nature, thou thyself thou blazon'st / In these two princely boys! They are as gentle / As zephyrs blowing below the violet." Today, zephyr is also the sobriquet of a lightweight fabric and the clothing that is made from it.
