My impression about the novel "THE REMAINS OF THE DAY"
This novel won Nobel Prize. That is why a member of the book club recommended us to read together as our next subject of the book.
After I read it around twenty pages, I thought that this book doesn't match to me. It is so boring and there is no dramatic dramas or any sensational events. It is about the butler's life that he centralize what is the best butler and what is dignity.
To be honest, I thought he lost his mind because he was so focused on be a professional butler that he avoid his real emotion to his co worker who is in loved him. He also loved her, however even she said that she was proposed by someone, he didn't say anything about it. Moreover, even though when he got very strong shock after she said that she made up her mind to married and need to go somewhere else because her future's husband's business. Then, he completely hid his feeling and remained his possessed. Those his behavior was a cause of being a professional butler or his natural personality? I couldn't figure it out. Twenty years later, she said that she wanted to be with him when they met. Unfortunately, he concealed his emotion again, even he still loved her. So he had lost many chances to be with her and choose to be a professional butler. Though a butler's marriage wasn't forbidden.
It was so difficult to read this book for me that a butler's life wasn't so excited. It is sad story how a butler was trying to take care of a master and his guests. When his father died, he didn't rush to his father's bed because of work. For him, the priority was that all guests and conference matters in the house. Overall, I do not know that the butler was satisfied with his life or not.

Either is technically correct, but if you're about to write what I think you are, 'impressions' sounds more natural.

To be honest, I thought he lost his mind because he was so focused on being a professional butler that he avoided his real emotions to his co worker who is in loved him.
*This* is the point of this novel, by the way. You understood it very well!
He also loved her, h. However, even after she said that she was proposed to by someone, he didn't say anything about it.
Moreover, even though when he got very stronghe was shocked after she said that she made up her mind to get married and needed to go somewhere else because of her future's husband's business.
Then, he completely hid his feelings and remained his posobsessed. [?]
I believe obsessed is the word you want, but I'm not sure.
ThoseWas his behavior was a cause ofd by being a professional butler or by his natural personality?
I couldn't figure it out.
Twenty years later, she said that she wanted to be with him when they met.
Unfortunately, he concealed his emotions again, even though he still loved her.
So hHe had lost so many chances to be with her and choose to beremain a professional butler.
TAlthough, a butler's marriage wasn' not forbidden to be married.
I just wrote what sounded a bit more natural for me.
It was so difficult to read this book for me thatbecause a butler's life waisn't so exciteding.
It is a sad story of how a butler was trying to take care of ahis master and his guests.
I thought the story very poignant, very touching. So sad, yes, but in a meaningful way.
When his father died, he dicouldn't rush to his father's bed because of work.
Your sentence is also correct.
For him, the priority was that alle guests and conference[?] matters in the house.
Conference matters? What does this refer to?
Overall, I do not know thatif the butler was satisfied with his life or not.

Very interesting post! I happened to like this book, but I agree, for anyone looking for excitement/action it might not be the best pick. Kazuo Ishiguro also wrote another speculative fiction book, Never Let Me Go, which is touching in the same vein. But the stakes might feel a bit higher for you.

It is so boring and there isare no dramatic dramas or anys or sensational events.
English avoids redundancies like "dramatic dramas". "Any" is superfluous in this case.

"maintained his composure" would line up with hiding his feelings.

T, even though a butler's marriage wasn't forbidden.
"Though ..." is a clause, not a sentence. My suggestion is to add this clause to the end of the preceding sentence, separating them with a comma.
Overall, I do not know thatwhether the butler was satisfied with his life or not.

Thank so much for your correction and comments. Especially, "maintained his composure" is useful. Have a nice day!

That is why a member of themy book club recommended us to read it together as our next subject of the book.
"The book club" means that there is only one book club, and it probably should be very famous.
"My book club" is better, because there are a lot of book clubs, so the relevant one is the one you go to.
After I read it around twenty pages, I thought that this book doesn't match tosuit me.
It is so boring and there is no dramatic dramas or any sensational events.
"Dramatic drama" isn't wrong, but it sounds very repetitive.
It is about thea butler's life that he, centralize what ising around being the best butler and asking what is dignity.
"The butler" refers to a specific butler. "A butler" refers to a generic butler. You can use "the butler" after you introduce us to the butler character.
Eg: This book is about a butler. The butler's name is Tom.
This sentence is correct.
But:
This book is about the butler. The butler's name is Tom.
This sentence is wrong.
To be honest, I thought he lost his mind because he was so focused on being a professional butler, that he avoided his real emotion tos for his co worker who iwas in loved with him.
He also loved her, however even when she said that she was proposed to by someone, he didn't say anything about it.
Moreover, he even though when he got verya strong shock after she said that she made up her mind to get married and needed to go somewhere else because of her future's husband's business.
Then, he completely hid his feelings and remained his possessed.

It was so difficult to read this book for me that, because a butler's life waisn't sothat exciteding.
It is a sad story about how a butler was trying to take care of a master and his guests.
When his father died, he didn't rush to his father's bed because of work.
For him, the priority was that alle guests andof a conference matters in the house.
I'm not sure what this sentence means. "Conference matters" implies there was a conference going on in the house, but we you didn't mention that there was one up until now, so it's hard to tell what you mean here.
Overall, I do not know thatif the butler was satisfied with his life or not.

I think one thing to focus on from this essay is when to use the word "The". "The" is used for referring to specific things, that the reader is aware of. That is why it is often used for famous things, like "The Grand Canyon", or "The Tokyo Skytree". That is also why the first time you refer to something that is not famous in a text, you use the word "A" or "An", and afterwards you use the word "The".
Beyond that, I think this was a very well written piece on the whole. Thank you for writing it!

Thank you so much for your great corrections and comments about my mistakes. Yes, as you pointed out, I sometimes confuse "the" and "a"( an). I appreciate your clear examples about my mistake, too. Have a great day!
