《撒哈拉沙漠》英文读后感

The Sahara, the story of three hairs

In the story of the Sahara, sanmao wrote down some knowledge she saw and her life in the Sahara. Each article of the book is like a little fun story, making you smile, also making you marveled(惊叹的) ，amazing and admire. I like every story in the book, because they always give me a different taste and feelings.

First in The Marriage to Record "结婚记”,I see the real feelings between San Mao and Jose; They were born of a couple. They had the lovely character, and they also knew how to take pains. They cherished each other, also considered each other, which means sacrifice, I am deeply moved by this, also feel happy for them. In "Dead fruit" “死果”and "the doll bride"“娃娃新娘”it tells some interesting and special experiences in the Sahara.

She could properly let the reader get into the book between the words just feels like you are the a leading role in the story .Also, there are some sensitive problems in this book .Such as some of “the doll bride " .San Mao had the keen insight to the social inequality （不平等）phenomenon in the desert. This novel makes me not unable to calm down.I never thought in such modern era(时代), in remote and mysterious Sahara, unexpectedly(竟然) still has such old marriage system, and those women are still suffering such insults（侮辱）.

The most thing confusing me is that the story was true. In the dead fruit "chapter, SAN MAO wrote her own experience, but how to use scientific angle to explain this spells? There are still many areas in the world which science fails to reach, so it must be very difficult to explain indeed.Her record was not very detailed, and there were a lot of subjective factors. San Mao also
