Reflection

            After reading this book, I felt as if I'm in the events of the story that happened to Tom. For example, during Tom's escape to the hill, I can touched Tom's feeling  of how tried he was. Though the main moral lessons are treat others as you wish to be treated by, and how to gain a self-control to help someone who mistreated you; I like the part that Kingsley wrote:

How do you know that? Have you been there to see? And if you had been there to see, and had seen none, that would not prove that there were none ... And no one has a right to say that no water babies exist till they have seen no water babies existing, which is quite a different thing, mind, from not seeing water babies.
 

This essay give me an idea that; If you never seen something before, it doesn't prove that no such thing exists. I never heard of this idea before, after I read this essay; I contemplated about this and realized that this idea is reasonable.

 There's one thing that I don't really like about this book; the way that Kingsley named the underwater creatures is way too simple such as: water-monkey, water-squirrels, etc. I think he should think of remarkable names for those water creatures.

When I read this book, I learned how to perceive a deeper meaning by the events and thoughts of characters. 'The Water Babies' is a great literature that I would like to recommended you to read.
