MY COMMENT FOR THIS BOOK

   I realize that all the bad lucks or unfair things that fate brings to Stanley can not beat him down. But on the contrary, they make him even stronger, physically and emotionally. Just as his father continually hopes for an invention, Stanley always shows hopes and never give up , no matter how wrong things are going!This strong optimism truly helps Stanley to survive when facing to lots of  meanness and cruelty that fate had brought to his life!

        On our way of life, there will be a time …

     “When things go wrong, as they sometimes will
       When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill

                                                                          Remember …

…Rest if you must, but don’t you quit

You are all you can be

Go on and be it!”
