This book tells the story of an 11-year-old girl named Frances who struggled to grow up in a poor but warm family in Brooklyn, USA. Despite the extreme lack of material conditions and the harsh living environment, Francie still maintained an optimistic and kind attitude, never giving up the pursuit of knowledge and dreams, and persevering and growing tenaciously like a small tree in this barren soil.
In addition, through the clear and open-minded eyes of the girl France, the author paints a vivid and colorful picture of the social life of American civilians in the early 20th century. Using the young and direct language of a young man, the author conveys to us her discussion of family, education, love and sex, as well as many social contradictions.
Reader comments
By writing about Francie's own growth process, this book shows that although their family living in Brooklyn is poor in material life, they are rich spiritually. Although their parents are not perfect, they will work hard to satisfy their children's curiosity and thirst for knowledge. They use games to beautify the difficulties of life in childhood, which not only protects their self-esteem but also prevents them from prematurely suffering the inferiority and pain caused by poverty. What impressed me most was my mother, Katie. She was like a warrior, fighting against real life. She was a beauty, but she was loyal to love and family, and she never changed even if life was difficult. Even as a janitor, she takes her job seriously, working her last shift even though she is already rich and the day before she is to get married. At the same time, she will try her best to support her child, use very little money to make rich and varied delicious food, satisfy her child's curiosity, and play with her child. It doesn't matter even if she pours away the coffee, as long as Francie can be happy from now on. They will also be reminded to be down-to-earth and will work hard to solve difficulties when they come instead of avoiding them. From this book, I like my parents Katie and Johnson more. Some people spend their whole lives healing their childhood, while others have a happy childhood. The love of their parents poured into France. Even though they all have shortcomings, they undoubtedly gave all their love to their children. Spiritual richness is far more important than material wealth. This will make them love life, know how to cherish, be down-to-earth, and pursue the life they want instead of living in confusion. Just like the trees in Brooklyn, they are tenacious and indomitable, and they are still vigorous despite the wind and rain.
This book is very good! I especially like Francie's tenacity and optimism. She still persists in studying in such a difficult environment, which is really admirable. I think she is like the rose in "The Little Prince", which can bloom beautifully even in the desert. Moreover, the American society in the early twentieth century described in the book is also very interesting. It reminds me of "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer". I feel that people of that era were very adventurous! Have you read this book? I think you'll like it too.
There are a lot of details about growing up. Francie, Neely, father and mother are all very vivid and make people feel immersed in the story. Although France is the heroine, is she a heroine with the aura of a heroine? She is a girl who is constantly growing. Both my father and mother are good parents who are open-minded and have their own ideas. It was through Fan Deng's live broadcast that he explained the details of the book. He said that Francie liked smelling the coffee more than drinking it. When the coffee was cold, she would pour the coffee. Her aunt would say it was too wasteful, but her mother would say that it's okay to be extravagant once in a while. Such different concepts came into play. Very nice, highly recommended.
A biography of a girl growing up in Brooklyn in the early 20th century. Francie, a slum girl, lived in an environment of extreme material scarcity. The library became her spiritual haven. Although her family was difficult, her love was strong. Like the tenacious tree of heaven, it took root in suffering and grew toward hope. Difficulties cannot imprison thoughts. With dreams and family ties in mind, the flower of life can bloom in even the barren soil. Love life ~ love everything in life, the sadness and joy it gives, because this is the fulfillment of life. Everyone can find salvation in it.
Mother Katie~ is not highly educated but values education. She supports the family with her hands and wisdom. She creates warmth and hope for her children with optimism and perseverance, and is the spiritual pillar of the family.
One day you will understand that the future is more important than love, and you will also understand that love is rarer than the future. But in the end you will understand that the right person is standing in your future.
People's vision changes after seeing new things. If she comes back in the future, she will re-examine everything she saw today with a new perspective, and she may have another perception.
I like this book very much. Although Francie lives in a very poor family, he has a father who loves him, a far-sighted mother, and a younger brother who grew up with her. Although Francie suffered a lot and felt a lot of loneliness while growing up, she has been growing tenaciously. , Persisted in studying under extremely difficult conditions, went to college with hard work, and said goodbye to his former self... Every character in the book is vividly portrayed in three dimensions. France's father Johnny is an alcoholic who often drinks too much. He is weak and incompetent, but he has a sense of responsibility for his family. He cannot bear the pressure of his family. , But insisted on letting her children go to school, always being proud of her family and children, always understanding Francie's thoughts, trying her best to meet her needs, and giving Francie irreplaceable love... Francie's mother is a strong, courageous, and self-respecting woman. She gave birth to two children at a young age, one She shouldered the burden of the family, was far-sighted, insisted on saving money, and insisted on studying. She firmly believed that studying can change destiny. Although the conditions were difficult and she worked all year round, she still provided for France and her brother to study. Although she was partial to her brother, she also loved France deeply and was a great mother.
Reading this book, it feels like growing up with Francie. Her life is bitter, but the warmth of family, love for life and mutual support between relatives make this bitterness a little sweeter. In the end, their mother married McShane, but Francie and Neely thought that their little sister would not have to endure the hardships they once had, and suddenly they felt sorry for these two children. Both siblings insist on studying, and their future will be better.
This is a story about a poor family. There is a tree in Brooklyn. This tree belongs to Francie's family. No matter how it is eliminated, it can sprout again. What impressed me deeply was not Francie, but Katie, Francie's mother. She is a person very close to reality. She built a home with her own hands and read a page of books to Francie and Neely every day, hoping to use education to change their poor destiny. She was also a little girl who expected good things until she had children. , She began to live a careful life. She preferred Neely, often considering problems from the perspective of the time, and occasionally dressing herself up carefully. Johnny, Francie's father, was extremely talented in music. He dressed very decently every day, but he was the object of ridicule outside. At home, he was a good father, and Francie liked him very much. He made up for Francie's lack of maternal love. For example, he called Francie prima diva and took the children to see the sea. Francie received it after graduation. Huahe wrote the card a year ago. He is a bit like a child who has not grown up. He needs to be taken care of. He always does bad things with good intentions. He is an unrealistic person, but he is impeccable as a father. Mary, France's grandma, I think she is a very wise old man. It is she who told Katie how to get the children out of the fate of the poor, which is to educate and save money. She has not read books, but she passed down the stories her mother and grandmother told her to tell her daughter. She is trying to make her children The child has become better, and there is Aunt Sissy, she is Mary's eldest daughter, she has never read a book, she is very smart, lively, cheerful, with the brilliance of maternal love, and does not care about the world's perspective. Finally, let's talk about France. There is a scene that impressed me deeply. France and Neely picked up the Christmas tree. Their small bodies picked up the largest Christmas tree and dragged it home. There were other children making trouble on the road, but they only moved forward firmly, and were praised by others when they returned home.
My favorite book in childhood, I probably got it when I was in the fourth or fifth grade. I have always loved it.
Like Francie when I was a child, I had all kinds of ideas in my mind. I was naive, liked reading books, fantasizing, and was good at writing. In this book, I see myself.
Later, I lost my innocence and became more sophisticated, and I gradually lost my friends. Until many years later, when I was as old as the last France, I read this book again, and revisiting my old place was like carving a boat to find a sword.
Katie saw Johnny through Neely, Francie saw her childhood through Florrie, and I saw myself through Francie's growth.
We all grow and we all lose.
But we will keep moving forward, just like Francie, taking root in her own Brooklyn, and eventually growing into the towering tree she once longed to be.
I like Katie, who maintains self-respect and self-love in poverty, and holds up the sky in the wind and rain along the way.
I like Johnny, who sees beauty in a field of chicken feathers and remains kind in poverty.
I like France the most. As long as you look up and see a patch of starlight, you can grow into your own towering tree in Brooklyn.
Everywhere is full of the atmosphere of ordinary people's lives, and there are some ideas about educating children. The protagonist has a full and uplifting character, which I think is quite good.
This little girl felt that even though she was the poorest person in Williamsburg, she was in a sense richer than everyone else because she still had something to waste.

People who work their way up from the bottom usually have two options. After getting out of his original environment, he can choose to completely forget this past, or he can choose to never forget it and always look at the people he left behind on that cruel road of ascent from the perspective of understanding and sympathy.
*
There are few truly bad people in the world, many are just unlucky.

Gamblers only think about winning and never think about losing. But you have to remember that as long as you gamble, someone will always lose. Others may lose, and you may also lose.

Most women have one thing in common: they have experienced the tremendous pain of childbirth. This was supposed to be a bond that united them, allowing them to love and protect each other in a world dominated by men. But reality is often not the case. It seems that the pain of childbirth has restricted their minds and souls, making them narrower. They are united by one purpose only: to hurt other women - whether it is directly throwing rocks or making vicious gossip, it is only then that they seem to be loyal to each other.
Men are different. Men probably hate each other, but they will unite against the world and against women who dare to deceive them.
*
Who in this world really has a reason to lie to others? But they still lie the same way they should.
This book was recommended by a female friend. I originally just wanted to broaden my horizons and understand the redemption of friends, but it really gave me some inspiration. I think I will record it in the form of painting or sculpture, I promise.
No matter what, this book is okay. It would be better if book lovers could calm down.
The path to salvation lies within.
This book tells the story of the growth of Francie, a girl from the slums, in sincere and touching language, bringing a touch of warmth to this impetuous world. The poverty of her family made Francie realize that life was not easy since she was a child, but she did not surrender to life. That was because her parents gave her the best love within their respective cognitive scopes. Her father's gentleness and easy-going inspired Francie to actively experience the beauty of the external world, and her mother's strong independence inspired Francie to constantly explore the treasures of the inner world. In addition, there are also the words and deeds of her grandmother, aunt and others. Francie grew up in this warm and loving environment and established a strong spiritual strength. This strength enabled her to strengthen her beliefs and work hard towards her goals, just like the unattended tree in her yard. Although it lacked sufficient external conditions, it could still thrive and stand between heaven and earth.
Reading this book, you can get a lot of advanced ideas. It is hard to imagine that this is a novel that was first published in 194x. The earliest children's perspective is simple and sincere, reminding people of their own childhood life. The first perspective makes the protagonist's growth so real and tangible. There are a lot of foreshadowings in the article, which prevents the abrupt ending from appearing hasty and leaves room for the reader's imagination. My personal favorite character is Johnny. He is a most considerate father and a very romantic figure. He is like a person living in the world of a novel, as if change only takes an instant and the writer writes with the stroke of a pen. However, the author puts such a character living in the novel into real life.
"A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" - a favorite book.
First, the previous education concept runs through the whole text. The wisdom of the ancestors comes not only from books, but also from the perception of life, and teaches it to future generations, so that they can face life better from the starting point of their parents at a younger age;
The second is the delicate display of emotions: many things and psychological thoughts that are difficult to express or say are unspeakable are objectively described. This confirms that sentence. Everyone is not wrong, because they all have their own considerations, which can be understood to a certain extent. There is no solution to this matter, and it may take time to dilute it. It doesn't matter if you wait for a certain moment to let go or not forgive;
The third is the sense of time interspersing. The author sometimes separates himself from the story and narrates it from a more macro perspective. For example, France prays for a new experience every minute and every second, and the view that memories are worse than re-experiences, and the sense of time in the diary;
The fourth is the shock echoed in the first place. Before Francie's family is about to leave Brooklyn and start a new life, Francie's memories of the past and going to those familiar places to say goodbye to her former self, "Goodbye, Francie (Flory)", all give people a sense of time confusion and a faint sadness that the past has passed and time has passed.
"The Rolling Yangtze River Passes East", "Linjiang Fairy" is about the renewal and iteration of heroes in the long history. In Brooklyn, it is also the renewal and iteration of life from generation to generation. The cycle is repeated but cannot be copied. Every life is an independent individual, but history is repeated to a certain extent. Just like on the vast historical scroll, everyone leaves their own color deeply or heavily.
My favorite book
My favorite Flossie
Whether it is Mary or Katie, France is a determined and powerful girl. They firmly believe in the power of education and live a planned life [send heart] so that they can grow into a big tree little by little in difficult situations.
Every character in it has a different side. After reading the book, it gave me a warm feeling [shy]
After reading this book, I had a deep feeling. It reminded me of my first love and I. We were both eighteen years old at that time. I loved her very much and I was willing to give her everything I had. But I feel that her love for me is not pure. She weighs the pros and cons and is more realistic. After reading this paragraph, "I love you. If I really get together with you... Then I won't feel ashamed after it's over, I will only feel proud and happy, so I won't lie about this kind of thing." I thought about the time I asked her about this kind of thing. For me at that stage, I felt that this kind of thing was a kind of recognition of our future. I said I wanted to marry her, but she said she didn't want to get married, and the circle of friends didn't want to make me public. Then we left it alone the first time. But I loved her very much at that time, and I was still very good to her. After two years together, during that time, she knew that my family's situation was not very good, and she proposed to break up many times, and I accepted it calmly. After two months, she could not forget my kindness, and came back to me to get back together. I agreed softly, but I didn't want to compromise on everything like before, so I asked if we could consider that matter before the National Day, but the breakup ended because of this quarrel. But when I saw this paragraph, I felt very emotional. Is it because I don't like him enough that I don't want to put myself in the other person's hands? I am really confused about whether I love or not. No matter how many things I have experienced and how many books I have read, I may not be able to accept the fact that I am sincere but not loved. I admire Ben very much. He cares about the future and will not delay his progress because of love. He will also respect the woman. After waiting for her for five years, I admit that at that time, I was not as mature as him, did not have his courage, and could not be as magnanimous as him. "Every time she talks about her father, France no longer has the stabbing pain in her heart that she used to have. Instead, there are only bursts of tenderness. "Am I beginning to forget him too? "Francie thought, "Sooner or later, will I forget everything about him? Maybe this is what grandma said, 'time will take away everything'. The first year was hard because we would say things like, 'The last time he went to the election,' 'The last Thanksgiving dinner he had with us.' But after a year, it becomes "what he was like two years ago." Time passes year by year, the days are getting harder and harder to count, and there are fewer and fewer things that can be remembered. ""It reminds me that when we broke up, I could not sleep at night and struggled to survive. Now I think about it, as France said, time is the medicine that heals everything. Looking back now, I feel calm and not so painful anymore. There are no regrets, only tenderness. "All the "last times" are filled with the sharpness and sorrow of death itself. I will never be able to see the scene in front of me from the current perspective again, France thought, well, the last time I looked at it, I felt that everything was so clear, as if it was suddenly illuminated by light, and everything seemed to be magnified. That's why people feel sad, because they didn't cherish this scenery when they could see it every day." Many books teach us to cherish the people in front of us, and no matter what difficulties we encounter, we should cherish the present. After all, time is moving forward, but the past will remain alive, just like the tree in Brooklyn, nothing can destroy it!
In this money-oriented society, the novel makes us re-examine our inner values.
I watched the growth all the way in a few days
It's a great book. Everyone in it is an ordinary person. There are no so-called villains, and there are no dramatic twists or stories. It is very close to reality, and the whole text has a long and flowing narration. Although Brooklyn is a very poor place, everyone living here is so vivid. Although it is very poor, I feel very happy when reading it.
Witnessing Francie's transformation from ignorant childhood to adolescence to a young girl with independent thoughts, this process is very real and interesting. Johnny is the character I regret the most. He sometimes makes people feel out of tune, but he is always so gentle and interesting, full of fresh vitality. I was very moved by the fact that he prepared France's graduation bouquet two years in advance. Katie is a woman full of wisdom. Although the book always mentions that she prefers Neely, she has always done a good job. I don't think she is partial to anyone. She is a very competent mother. "Now, I am your mother and your father." The power of maternal love is really great.
Sissy in the book, the Christmas tree seller, the police officer, the teacher, and the bar owner... Everyone has their own personality traits, but they all have a kind undertone. Everyone in Brooklyn is like the fir tree. No matter where its seeds fall, they can take root and sprout, and grow into trees that strive to grow toward the sky.
This book is a book every girl should read
The protagonist Francey in the article is just like the tree in Brooklyn. Even though her life is full of holes, she still struggles desperately to touch the blue sky that belongs to her.
For the foreign literature sharing class, I specially reviewed this literary work.
Goodbye Flossie, see you again
If there really is a time machine, I hope to give this book to my childhood self
What a wise mother. France's spiritual world is so rich
Very rich and bumpy experiences, inspirational girls are the happiest
By writing about Francie's own growth process, this book shows that although their family living in Brooklyn is poor in material life, they are rich spiritually. Although their parents are not perfect, they will work hard to satisfy their children's curiosity and thirst for knowledge. They use games to beautify the difficulties of life in childhood, which not only protects their self-esteem but also prevents them from prematurely suffering the inferiority and pain caused by poverty. What impressed me most was my mother, Katie. She was like a warrior, fighting against real life. She was a beauty, but she was loyal to love and family, and she never changed even if life was difficult. Even as a janitor, she takes her job seriously, working her last shift even though she is already rich and the day before she is to get married. At the same time, she will try her best to support her child, use very little money to make rich and varied delicious food, satisfy her child's curiosity, and play with her child. It doesn't matter even if she pours away the coffee, as long as Francie can be happy from now on. They will also be reminded to be down-to-earth and will work hard to solve difficulties when they come instead of avoiding them. From this book, I like my parents Katie and Johnson more. Some people spend their whole lives healing their childhood, while others have a happy childhood. The love of their parents poured into France. Even though they all have shortcomings, they undoubtedly gave all their love to their children. Spiritual richness is far more important than material wealth. This will make them love life, know how to cherish, be down-to-earth, and pursue the life they want instead of living in confusion. Just like the trees in Brooklyn, they are tenacious and indomitable, and they are still vigorous despite the wind and rain.
This book is very good! I especially like Francie's tenacity and optimism. She still persists in studying in such a difficult environment, which is really admirable. I think she is like the rose in "The Little Prince", which can bloom beautifully even in the desert. Moreover, the American society in the early twentieth century described in the book is also very interesting. It reminds me of "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer". I feel that people of that era were very adventurous! Have you read this book? I think you'll like it too.
There are a lot of details about growing up. Francie, Neely, father and mother are all very vivid and make people feel immersed in the story. Although France is the heroine, is she a heroine with the aura of a heroine? She is a girl who is constantly growing. Both my father and mother are good parents who are open-minded and have their own ideas. It was through Fan Deng's live broadcast that he explained the details of the book. He said that Francie liked smelling the coffee more than drinking it. When the coffee was cold, she would pour the coffee. Her aunt would say it was too wasteful, but her mother would say that it's okay to be extravagant once in a while. Such different concepts came into play. Very nice, highly recommended.

But in the end you will understand that the right person is standing in your future. People's vision changes after seeing new things.

I like this book very much. Although Francie lives in a very poor family, he has a father who loves him, a far-sighted mother, and a younger brother who grew up with her. Although Francie suffered a lot and felt a lot of loneliness while growing up, she has been growing tenaciously. , Persisted in studying under extremely difficult conditions, went to college with hard work, and said goodbye to his former self... Every character in the book is vividly portrayed in three dimensions. France's father Johnny is an alcoholic who often drinks too much. He is weak and incompetent, but he has a sense of responsibility for his family. He cannot bear the pressure of his family. , But insisted on letting her children go to school, always being proud of her family and children, always understanding Francie's thoughts, trying her best to meet her needs, and giving Francie irreplaceable love... Francie's mother is a strong, courageous, and self-respecting woman. She gave birth to two children at a young age, one She shouldered the burden of the family, was far-sighted, insisted on saving money, and insisted on studying. She firmly believed that studying can change destiny. Although the conditions were difficult and she worked all year round, she still provided for France and her brother to study. Although she was partial to her brother, she also loved France deeply and was a great mother.
Reading this book, it feels like growing up with Francie. Her life is bitter, but the warmth of family, love for life and mutual support between relatives make this bitterness a little sweeter. In the end, their mother married McShane, but Francie and Neely thought that their little sister would not have to endure the hardships they once had, and suddenly they felt sorry for these two children. Both siblings insist on studying, and their future will be better.
This is a story about a poor family. There is a tree in Brooklyn. This tree belongs to Francie's family. No matter how it is eliminated, it can sprout again. What impressed me deeply was not Francie, but Katie, Francie's mother. She is a person very close to reality. She built a home with her own hands and read a page of books to Francie and Neely every day, hoping to use education to change their poor destiny. She was also a little girl who expected good things until she had children. , She began to live a careful life.

He needs to be taken care of. He always does bad things with good intentions. He is an unrealistic person, but he is impeccable as a father. Mary, France's grandma, I think she is a very wise old man. It is she who told Katie how to get the children out of the fate of the poor, which is to educate and save money. She has not read books, but she passed down the stories her mother and grandmother told her to tell her daughter. She is trying to make her children The child has become better, and there is Aunt Sissy, she is Mary's eldest daughter, she has never read a book, she is very smart, lively, cheerful, with the brilliance of maternal love, and does not care about the world's perspective. Finally, let's talk about France. There is a scene that impressed me deeply. France and Neely picked up the Christmas tree. Their small bodies picked up the largest Christmas tree and dragged it home. There were other children making trouble on the road, but they only moved forward firmly, and were praised by others when they returned home.
My favorite book in childhood, I probably got it when I was in the fourth or fifth grade. I have always loved it. Like Francie when I was a child, I had all kinds of ideas in my mind.

I like Katie, who maintains self-respect and self-love in poverty, and holds up the sky in the wind and rain along the way.

As long as you look up and see a patch of starlight, you can grow into your own towering tree in Brooklyn.
Everywhere is full of the atmosphere of ordinary people's lives, and there are some ideas about educating children. The protagonist has a full and uplifting character, which I think is quite good.

There is no solution to this matter, and it may take time to dilute it. It doesn't matter if you wait for a certain moment to let go or not forgive; The third is the sense of time interspersing. The author sometimes separates himself from the story and narrates it from a more macro perspective. For example, France prays for a new experience every minute and every second, and the view that memories are worse than re-experiences, and the sense of time in the diary; The fourth is the shock echoed in the first place. Before Francie's family is about to leave Brooklyn and start a new life, Francie's memories of the past and going to those familiar places to say goodbye to her former self, "Goodbye, Francie (Flory)", all give people a sense of time confusion and a faint sadness that the past has passed and time has passed. "The Rolling Yangtze River Passes East", "Linjiang Fairy" is about the renewal and iteration of heroes in the long history. In Brooklyn, it is also the renewal and iteration of life from generation to generation. The cycle is repeated but cannot be copied. Every life is an independent individual, but history is repeated to a certain extent. Just like on the vast historical scroll, everyone leaves their own color deeply or heavily.
My favorite book My favorite Flossie
Whether it is Mary or Katie, France is a determined and powerful girl. They firmly believe in the power of education and live a planned life [send heart] so that they can grow into a big tree little by little in difficult situations. Every character in it has a different side. After reading the book, it gave me a warm feeling [shy]
After reading this book, I had a deep feeling. It reminded me of my first love and I. We were both eighteen years old at that time. I loved her very much and I was willing to give her everything I had. But I feel that her love for me is not pure. She weighs the pros and cons and is more realistic. After reading this paragraph, "I love you. If I really get together with you... Then I won't feel ashamed after it's over, I will only feel proud and happy, so I won't lie about this kind of thing." I thought about the time I asked her about this kind of thing. For me at that stage, I felt that this kind of thing was a kind of recognition of our future. I said I wanted to marry her, but she said she didn't want to get married, and the circle of friends didn't want to make me public. Then we left it alone the first time. But I loved her very much at that time, and I was still very good to her. After two years together, during that time, she knew that my family's situation was not very good, and she proposed to break up many times, and I accepted it calmly. After two months, she could not forget my kindness, and came back to me to get back together. I agreed softly, but I didn't want to compromise on everything like before, so I asked if we could consider that matter before the National Day, but the breakup ended because of this quarrel. But when I saw this paragraph, I felt very emotional. Is it because I don't like him enough that I don't want to put myself in the other person's hands? I am really confused about whether I love or not. No matter how many things I have experienced and how many books I have read, I may not be able to accept the fact that I am sincere but not loved. I admire Ben very much. He cares about the future and will not delay his progress because of love. He will also respect the woman. After waiting for her for five years, I admit that at that time, I was not as mature as him, did not have his courage, and could not be as magnanimous as him. "Every time she talks about her father, France no longer has the stabbing pain in her heart that she used to have. Instead, there are only bursts of tenderness. "Am I beginning to forget him too? "Francie thought, "Sooner or later, will I forget everything about him? Maybe this is what grandma said, 'time will take away everything'. The first year was hard because we would say things like, 'The last time he went to the election,' 'The last Thanksgiving dinner he had with us.' But after a year, it becomes "what he was like two years ago." Time passes year by year, the days are getting harder and harder to count, and there are fewer and fewer things that can be remembered. ""It reminds me that when we broke up, I could not sleep at night and struggled to survive. Now I think about it, as France said, time is the medicine that heals everything. Looking back now, I feel calm and not so painful anymore. There are no regrets, only tenderness. "All the "last times" are filled with the sharpness and sorrow of death itself. I will never be able to see the scene in front of me from the current perspective again, France thought, well, the last time I looked at it, I felt that everything was so clear, as if it was suddenly illuminated by light, and everything seemed to be magnified. That's why people feel sad, because they didn't cherish this scenery when they could see it every day." Many books teach us to cherish the people in front of us, and no matter what difficulties we encounter, we should cherish the present. After all, time is moving forward, but the past will remain alive, just like the tree in Brooklyn, nothing can destroy it!
In this money-oriented society, the novel makes us re-examine our inner values.
I watched the growth all the way in a few days
It's a great book. Everyone in it is an ordinary person. There are no so-called villains, and there are no dramatic twists or stories. It is very close to reality, and the whole text has a long and flowing narration. Although Brooklyn is a very poor place, everyone living here is so vivid. Although it is very poor, I feel very happy when reading it. Witnessing Francie's transformation from ignorant childhood to adolescence to a young girl with independent thoughts, this process is very real and interesting. Johnny is the character I regret the most. He sometimes makes people feel out of tune, but he is always so gentle and interesting, full of fresh vitality. I was very moved by the fact that he prepared France's graduation bouquet two years in advance. Katie is a woman full of wisdom. Although the book always mentions that she prefers Neely, she has always done a good job. I don't think she is partial to anyone. She is a very competent mother. "Now, I am your mother and your father." The power of maternal love is really great. Sissy in the book, the Christmas tree seller, the police officer, the teacher, and the bar owner... Everyone has their own personality traits, but they all have a kind undertone. Everyone in Brooklyn is like the fir tree. No matter where its seeds fall, they can take root and sprout, and grow into trees that strive to grow toward the sky.
This book is a book every girl should read
The protagonist Francey in the article is just like the tree in Brooklyn. Even though her life is full of holes, she still struggles desperately to touch the blue sky that belongs to her.
