Everyone has a meaning of his existence, like wonderful, like decadence, like hardship, like optimism. Everything in the world has its black and white sides, and blessings and misfortunes depend on each other.
"Miracles that transcend nature always arise in the conquest of doom."
Miracle Boy
Hello everyone, here is "Extreme Reading", meet a good book to open a world, today for everyone to bring is R.J. Palacio's "Miracle Boy", like the audience of this show, please do not skimp on your own little hand, for the editor to pay a little attention to the praise of it!
The little boy Auggie was born with a strange disease, Terrecher Collins syndrome, which not only caused Auggie's face to deform, but also made Auggie breathless and hearing impaired. Even sadder, the doctor told Auggie's parents that Auggie would certainly not live longer than three months.
However, under the careful care of his parents, Auggie stubbornly survived.
After 27 cosmetic surgeries, large and small, Auggie no longer has trouble breathing and can hear a variety of sounds from the outside world. Still, the face is the same distortion. Some people even said that Auggie's face looked like a person had been flattened from the middle with large pliers. If you think about it, there will be a lot of difficulties in one operation, not to mention 27 times, at a young age, I have experienced these physical tortures, and how uncomfortable it should be.
For ten-year-old Auggie, every step of growing up was accompanied by pain and hardship. The suffering of this life is something that ordinary children cannot empathize with.
Auggie wore an astronaut's helmet as a child. Auggie silently observed everything in the world through his helmet. His dog, Daisy, was his only friend. Daisy accompanied him through every night and every operation.
The astronaut's helmet was like a protective shield that protected Auggie's weak mind. Auggie did not dare to take off his helmet, and as soon as he took off his helmet, it was like exposing his fragile soul to everyone, and anyone who came over could stab him with a knife into his heart.
In order to protect Auggie, her mother gave up her master's degree and has been teaching Auggie to read and read at home. It wasn't until Auggie reached the fifth grade that his parents decided to send him to school, because Auggie's parents felt that sooner or later Auggie would have to face all this and adapt to it.
Although Auggie had not been exposed to everything outside before the age of ten, under the education of his family, Auggie was intelligent, quick-witted, and delicate-minded, and had always been a sensible child. All people will grow, they have to contact the world, whether it is darkness or light, they must be immersed in everything, to integrate into the world.
Auggie's parents did not contact any special schools, but instead sent Auggie to a regular school for a normal education. It is conceivable that Auggie will encounter something at school.
On the first day of school, the parents took Auggie's hand, walked through the crowd, and took off Auggie's helmet at the school gate. At that time, Auggie showed a look of disbelief and fear, but the sensible Auggie did not refuse his parents' actions, but obediently walked into the school gate. The moment they entered the school gate, the students threw strange glances at Auggie, because they felt that Auggie was different from them.
The fifth graders all have their own cognition and have their own small teams. No, the rich children led by Julian even formed a united front, and all kinds of insults and bullying against Auggie, just like Forrest Gump in "Forrest Gump", unlike Forrest Gump, Auggie did not have his own Jenny. No Jenny told him to run if he couldn't fight, and the faster he ran, the better. Auggie's courage, which he had so hard to muster, was also bullied by these insults and thrown back into his swaddling.
Auggie's favorite holiday is Halloween, because only on Halloween can Auggie freely high-five with his classmates and shout confidently. Instead of being treated as an infectious disease patient by others, thousands of miles away from him.
At school, Auggie is jealous of Julian for his good grades, and Julian often writes small notes to Auggie, saying that he is ugly, and deliberately cuts out Auggie in the class photo, saying that Auggie does not deserve to appear in the photo. To this end, Auggie also cut off the small braids he had left for many years and shut himself in the bedroom, ignoring no one.
The headmaster, Tushiman, approached Julian's parents and Auggie's parents and wanted Julian to apologize to Auggie, but Julian's mother, believing that her family had money, was extremely dissatisfied with the principal's decision to suspend the school for two days. Firmly refused to apologize.
At that moment, Auggie's mother seemed to understand why Julian would do this, and knew why Julian would speak ill of Auggie, because Julian's living environment was so, his mother was like this, so Julian took the gourd and drew the scoop, and for reasonable persuasion, the first reaction was not to face it, not to remedy, but to shirk responsibility unscrupulously and by all means.
Children who grow up in such an environment also lack the most basic tutoring.
It's like shouting in the valley and you shout hello, and nature's response to you is of course positive and equally respectful. You respect people, and just as others respect you. You don't respect people, and of course, others don't respect you.
In the school, the children's personality, character shaping are inseparable from the correct guidance of the teachers, Auggie's enrollment is not good, in the school to learn about Auggie's special circumstances, the principal secretly benefited everyone to take care of this child, but also when Auggie was confused, to help him solve the doubt. The humorous and kind-hearted brown teacher once inadvertently bumped into Julian's prank on Auggie, but instead of accusing Julian in person, he told some stories to his classmates in class and taught everyone to go in the direction of integrity and kindness.
Jack, Auggie's first friend at school, is the person who brings Auggie the most joy, help and support at school. However, Jack also has his own careful thoughts, you know, he will initially make friends with Auggie because of his mother's instructions. He was the first to make Auggie feel betrayed, but he was also the first person at school to protect Auggie from being bullied.
When Auggie made his first good friend, his mother was even more excited than Auggie. Because Auggie went to accept the society's first gift to Auggie. When her sister learns that Auggie has been betrayed by her best friend, she will talk to him about her heart and take Auggie out on Halloween to ask for candy.
After Auggie stopped talking to Jack, a little girl with fluffy hair became Auggie's friend. A sentence from the little girl made me remember in my heart for a long time, she said: When you are choosing right or good, choose goodness.
Even though Auggie knew he wasn't popular at school, on Auggie's birthday, Auggie sent invitations to all the students in his class to attend his birthday party.
When her sister Via was a child, she had always been the little princess of the family, and everyone revolved around her, and when Auggie was born, her parents' attention was all on Auggie's body. Via was sad too, but her family still loved her.
The love of family is the harbor forever. Auggie is actually happy, and his mother will tell Auggie that you are not ugly, because your mother is the person you are closest to, and your mother's opinion is the most important, because your mother will be the person who knows Auggie the best. Dad would tell Auggie that even though Auggie himself didn't like his face, Dad was super loving because Auggie was his son. Encouraged by his family, Auggie slowly became confident and optimistic. Face every day with joy. In the end, he gained friendship and became everyone's "miracle boy". In this world, there are still the majority of good people, and there are so many people around Auggie's side, using family affection and friendship to protect Auggie and love Auggie.
Life is like this, there are imperfections, there are unhappiness, but as long as we do ourselves well and live a wonderful life, we can become a story. We must face up to our own shortcomings, to face our own shortcomings, only after realizing our own shortcomings, can we change, can we cultivate ourselves better.
Each of us is different, different appearance, different heart, different family, different education, the only thing that we all have in common is that we are all ordinary people, we must learn to be kind, to learn to love the world, to love everyone around us. As Auggie's mother said: Everyone has their own two maps, one on their face and one in their heart. The map of the mind points the way forward, and the map on the face is a notebook that records the path we have traveled.
The topic of the original family is discussed by more and more people, and there are many people in this world who become unconfident because of the original family, not only the lack of love in the family, but also when the child is young, it does not set a good example for the child. There are many parents in this world, with "I am for your own good" to force their children to do things that their children do not like, such as when the college entrance examination is over, parents will always use their own experience, or their own preferences, to ask their children to fill in their dislikes of the major. Although this parent's words are reasonable, I think that in this regard, the child's preferences should be the first element to consider. Because a person's love, not pressure. It is not forced by life.
Auggie is ultimately lucky to have a happy family, a gentle and understanding mother, a father who coexists with wisdom and humor, a beautiful and generous sister, and a friend who really gets along. There is a courage to go forward to accompany him to grow up. Auggie's strength and sensibility made this precocious child bear the hurt he shouldn't have taken at his age.
People are kind, and I hope that every child can grow up healthily in goodwill.
