Rain Man

Emma Wang

I read Rain Man. I started reading this story on the morning of the 4th of December and I finished reading this book on the evening of the 5th of December.This book is a film which has the same name, and I think it is a comedy because it has a happy ending. The film screened in 1988, but I didn’t find when this story happened.

In this story the main characters are Raymond Babbitt and Charlie Babbitt. They are brothers, but Charlie doesn’t remember he has a brother. When Charlie grew up, he was a businessman and he sells cars.
One day, his assistant told him that his father had died. Charlie hates his father because his father was very severe when Charlie was younger, but Charlie decided to attend his father’s funeral. At the funeral, he finds out that his father didn’t give him an inheritance. Charlie was very angry and he found Raymond. Raymond has part of the inheritance from Charlie’s father and Raymond is Charlie’s brother. But Raymond has autism, and he can’t live like normal people. Charlie tries to live together with Raymond and tries to get back part of the inheritance from his father.
While traveling with Raymond, Charlie found his way back to feelings for his father and forms a relationship with his brother Raymond. At last Charlie didn’t care about the inheritance from his father, he cares about Raymond more.

I think the English level of this book is about right and I think the story is telling me that 'relationship is important.' I think the best point in this book is that Charlie and Raymond went head against head. I like this book because it’s very interesting, moving and happy.
