First, what kind of character did Ferrancie develop in her poor childhood?

What is the spiritual basis for the growth of the second Feransi?

Third, how did Ferrancies realize her dream?

First of all, let's understand the first part of the content, in the poor childhood, what kind of character did Feranci develop?

The happiest day of Feranci's childhood was Saturday. Early in the morning, she pulled the rags, paper, metal, rubber, etc. that she usually picked up with her brother out of the box under the bed and joined the ragged children's army of tatters.

Ferrancie sold the rags to a man named Carney, who sometimes had to be pinched in the face by Carney in order to sell an extra penny. Ferrancy gave part of the money from the sale of rags to his brother to save, leaving only five cents to buy what he liked.

She took her five cents to the cheap shop, looked back and forth between the shelves, and played with what she liked, thinking it was so beautiful! It wasn't until the clerk asked her what she bought that she bought all five cents into a mint-flavored wafer.

Where Ferranci lived was a mossy yard, the houses and hedges were shabby, and the ground was as hard as cement floors, and the grass was barren acid. What impressed her most here was the paradise tree that could grow tenaciously in the cement floor.

Felanci's father, Johnny, did not have a fixed job, made some money by being a singing attendant and a waiter, he was lazy and cowardly by nature, he never took the initiative to find a job, and he drank alcohol without work.

Mom Katie is a cleaner who cleans three rental apartments a day, bitter and tired. She earned money from wiping the floor to feed her family of four.

When Mom and Dad first got married, the little days were dashing and romantic, very moist. However, when the two people were not yet financially secure, Katie's mother gave birth to Ferenci and her brother, and the sudden arrival of the child made her parents panic. On the day Of Ferrancy's birth, His father Johnny was so frightened that he threw away his wife, fled to his mother's house in search of comfort, drank with his brother all night, forgot to go to work, and as a result, he was expelled from the house after a major accident. The couple lost their jobs at the same time, and the pressure of life and spirit overwhelmed and crushed The spirit of Johnny's father. He always poured out his sorrows through alcohol and was eventually expelled from the union, which completely crushed Johnny, and he became decadent and sick, and died within a few months.

The Ferrancies usually live on cheap, moldy bread. But Katie's mother is optimistic and industrious, she will use mold bread to make all kinds of tricks of food, saturday night, the family can eat fried meat, this is also made of mold bread mixed with minced meat balls. Mom named this fried meat Felan. Nilei Maru, who tied the big names of the two brothers and sisters together, added a little sweetness to the poor life.

In times of extreme poverty, optimistic mothers also allow their children to dump the rest of their coffee once a week. She asked the children to experience the pleasure of waste, and the dignity and self-worth recognition that they derived from this low-cost wasteful behavior. Ferencie also learned that her mother's optimistic attitude in the face of difficulties.

In such a poor and destitute life, Feransi was nourished and infected by her mother's optimistic attitude, learned to accept the injustice of fate calmly, and cultivated a firm and optimistic character. This laid a good foundation for Feranci's future growth.

Next, in the second part, what is the spiritual basis for Feranci's growth

Grandma Marie was a great woman in Feranci's eyes. She couldn't read words, she couldn't even write her own name. But she was able to remember more than a thousand stories, and she knew all the wretched weaknesses of humanity, as well as all sorts of cruel forces.

Grandma Mary believed that if she wanted to change her destiny, she had to read and read. She asked Katie's mother to find a good book and read one page a day to the child, one day without pulling, until the child was able to read on her own. She said Shakespeare and the Bible were two good books. Read more books, and when your child grows up, he will know that the world is not the size of a Brooklyn rental house.

From an early age, Ferrancity's habit of reading was to benefit from the teachings of her grandmother, and in her infancy, She could eat milk every day and listen to her mother tell the story of Shakespeare and the Bible.

Ferencie and her father were in a special relationship. She thinks that her father is elegant, personable, able to sing and dance, and better than other people's fathers. She often ironed his father's clothes while chatting with him. Ferencity was bullied at school and wanted to transfer, and her father tried his best to help her transfer to a better school. Ferencie is about to graduate, and it is customary for girls to receive flowers from their families when they graduate. At this time, her father had passed away, and considering that there was no money in the family, she did not tell her mother about it. But the thought of only having no flowers and being looked down upon by his classmates was very depressed. Unexpectedly, before his death, his father wrote a congratulatory message to his daughter who was about to graduate, and entrusted Aunt Sissi to send flowers to her daughter on his behalf, which made Ferencie cry on the spot.

Ferrisi's aunt was called Sissi, and her life was full of enthusiasm and she was even more caring for Ferancie. After Ferranci went to school, she was bullied because of poverty and looked down upon by her teachers. Go to the toilet with a raised hand, the children of rich families can go out at any time, while their poor children are not approved and often wet their pants. Aunt Sissi went to the school to find the teacher, saying that Felanci had kidney disease, and pointed to a policeman in the school yard and said that it was her husband, which frightened the teacher from bullying Felanci again.

Ferencie felt that her mother favored her brother, so she did not kiss her mother. But the way the mother expressed her love for Feransi was different from that of her brother, and the "love" that the mother gave to Feransi was trust. Mom said that in a difficult situation, Feranci would fight and fight, just like the heavenly tree in the Taiping Ladder.

What the family members did made Feransi's poor, weak heart feel warm. Like her mother, she faced a life of poverty calmly, and developed a character that liked to read, lived optimistically, never complained, and insisted on being good.

In the third part, we will introduce you to how Ferranthi realized her dream

Perhaps thanks to the sound of her mother's reading, Ferrancia is full of yearning for school, and although she is humiliated by it, she never gives up.

One day, Before going to school, Feranci saw a girl slapping the blackboard and was very envious. When the girl took the initiative to greet her, she happily passed and reached out to touch the fuzz on the blackboard. However, the girl suddenly poured chalk ash into her eyes and spat on her. She was frightened, but she closed her eyes tightly, forced herself not to cry, and ran to the dark basement, sat in the dark, and healed herself little by little.

In the days of poverty, Ferrancia's favorite place to go was the library. The library was small and broken, but Ferranci thought it was beautiful. She felt that this library had a collection of books from all over the world, and she took the books in alphabetical order and read through them one by one. Although she was still young and some books were difficult to read, she also tried to persevere and 'nibble' one by one.

As soon as the book was borrowed, Ferranci would hug her tightly and trot all the way home. She sat on the Taiping Ladder, hidden by the Heavenly Tree, reading books, eating snacks, enjoying the warm sunshine and the warm smell of the ocean, fantasizing that she was the king in the book. Reading filled Feransi's childhood with sunshine, and she enjoyed it calmly, and life gave her all the bittersweet and bittersweet.

After transferring to my favorite school, the environment is better than in the past. At the new school, the teacher unearthed her talent for storytelling. The teacher taught her how to distinguish between the use of reality and fiction, so that she found a breakthrough in writing, and the essay was A and published in the school magazine. She was so excited. At this time, she set herself the ambition to become a writer.

After dad's death, the poor family could no longer afford to send two children to school at the same time. Mom decided to let her brother go to school, and Ferrancia stopped school to work. Because her mother believed that Feranci would fight and would not give up. Ferrancy was very upset, but still obeyed her mother's arrangement and began to look for a job.

Finding a job became the starting point for a transformation in Ferenc's life. After all, she had already graduated from junior high school, which was already a cultured person at that time. Soon she tasted the sweetness of knowledge, and after several efforts, she found a job with a relatively high salary that was equivalent to her knowledge, and her family life gradually improved.

Although Felanci joined the work, as her mother said, she never gave up the ideal of continuing to go to school and become a writer. She continued to work hard to gather information about going to school, and eventually found a way to continue going to school. And, I also met a smart and handsome young man, Benjamin. Franklin. Blair. Benjamin was knowledgeable and helped her achieve her college dreams. On this day, she packed her bags and set out in the direction of her university, the direction of writers, and the direction of love.

The author wrote here to close the pen, how will the Ferencie family live in the future? The author did not write more, but left room for imagination for the reader.
