It's well written, I don't know how to evaluate it. There is a kind of sadness that has been lingering in my heart, not causing pain at the tip of my heart, but slowly spreading to the whole heart. Of course, this is me, not Meg in the book, nor Dr. Charles, nor Dr. Charles's wife, the mother of Meg and Molly. Molly's death will always linger in their hearts, and on a deserted night, or at any time, it will bring them sadness again until they truly let go. And this kind of sadness has been lingering in my heart, making me feel a little uncomfortable. It seems that I have lost something, but I have lost nothing. I am still sitting here. Well, this is my evaluation. This book is well written.
I'm wondering what the classification of this book is, is it a children's classic? When I think about it, I think of the children's book "The Secret Garden" that I have read. However, this book does not have everything, nor does it have a perfect and heart-healing ending. It is not a children's book, if you want to look at it from the eyes of me who have only read "The Child on the Roof", "Heidi", "The Child in the Jar" and the aforementioned "Secret Garden". But it's not entirely sad. The whole book is not filled with tears of sadness. Even though Molly's life was eventually taken away by acute myeloid leukemia, and Will was already very old, there was still a family that continued in life in the story, Ben and Maria. Molly would remain in their hearts forever, and the latter also bought the house, so that the end of the book would not add too many regrets. If you want to decorate this book, it probably needs to be decorated with autumn goldenrod. I don't care about the meaning of the flower, nor the appearance of the flower. I just feel that it goes well with the book. It doesn't have too much sadness, but it also expresses a kind of sadness. Molly is a doll child, and Meg is - I don't understand, there's so much about her that I can't put it into words, but that doesn't mean there's nothing about Molly. In fact, if you look through Meg's eyes and listen through her eyes, you'll find that Molly is interesting. I really want to understand her and explore her heart. The only difference between them is probably life and death. The living still have a future, infinite hopes and changes, while the dead are already fixed in that framework, wandering in memories.
I finally finished watching "The Last Summer" at the end of summer. Molly and Meg are both charming and special children. "Goodbyes take more courage than any adventure." "You can pretend that bad things will never happen, but if you realize and admit that sometimes bad things in life will happen, you will have a much easier time. 🍂
This book reminded me of my cousin. The description of facing and saying goodbye in the book is really true. We always avoid saying goodbye, but in fact this is a lesson that must be experienced in life. The author Lois Lowry is amazing. She portrayed this emotion so delicately that I felt it. While translating this book, I also experienced a grand farewell with Meg and Molly. I recommend everyone to read it, you will find a lot of resonance and inspiration.
It's so sad and touching. My sister had a similar personality to me, but she died young. The author's description is so heartbreaking. She was obviously so full of life. All in all, this is a book worth reading. It is not long. It tells the story from the perspective of a little girl. It is full of innocence and beauty. "I" like to observe. The author writes all the scenes vividly and is not sad. I just feel uncomfortable when I read it, but with my sister's thoughts and opinions, I feel warm. I read this book when I was a child, and now I am reviewing it. The author writes very well about separation and the exploration of his own soul. My sister always thinks that she is uglier than her sister, but her soul is beautiful and her emotions are delicate. Will's words at the end of this article made me tremble. My sister has a beautiful heart. The couple is the representative of another soul expected by the author. They pursue freedom and are not bound to the world. Will has a heart for photography no matter how he looks. As for separation, this is the main line of the article. I felt uncomfortable and relieved along with the protagonist. The protagonist finally realized that Will was leaving because she didn't understand Ben's words. The author grasped her changes very well. I'm not sure if I understand it, I will read it again if I have the chance
The plot in the book is also quite touching, allowing us to correctly understand how to deal with death [almost crying]
The book opens the world of this novel from the perspective of Meg, a smart girl, and her sister is a beautiful girl. The book depicts the story of her and her family moving to the countryside because her father wanted to write a book. A series of things happened in the countryside. The author uses delicate brushwork to describe many beautiful countryside scenes, the warmth between family members, and the tragic ending. It is well worth reading.
"Farewell is a lesson that everyone seems to be failing." The two sisters, Molly and Meg, love each other deeply, but they don't know it, and they always look for trouble; but when Molly really leaves, Meg will even miss the time when she quarreled with Molly. In just one summer, Meg witnessed the birth of "Happy" and experienced the death of her sister Molly. She also knew that even Mr. Will, who spent a summer with her, had to rely on crutches to move forward. Ben once told Meg that people should understand and accept bad things. This sentence touched me deeply; I hope we will all learn to face the cruel reality in life!
The length is very short, just like the last summer Meg and Molly spent together. They envied each other's life in their quarrels and arguments. Each has its own advantages, and together they form a perfect puzzle piece. Meg is a girl who is not pretty in the secular world, but has a heart that can perceive delicate beauty. She meets Will, Ben and Maria who understand her. In that short summer, I said goodbye to my beloved sister and also welcomed a new life. Accept separation, accept bad things happening, and accept your imperfect self. After all, the puzzle pieces are missing, but life still has to go on. A person will meet all kinds of people in his life. Some people pass by without leaving a trace, while some people carve a slightly ordinary life with a heavy stroke of ink and color. Some say goodbye and some are on their way. When the photo was frozen, Meg found that she had the shadow of Molly. This was the best fateful closed loop. "Molly, you're right, I'm going to be beautiful."
It is a very good book, short, with only eleven chapters. I read it without realizing it in my free time, and the total length does not exceed 3 hours. The characters written by the author are very vivid and their emotions are very delicate. Through the perspective of sister Meg, readers are led to think about how to face the departure and death of relatives and friends. Well worth reading!
Saying goodbye is a life lesson that each of us must eventually learn. If I were to recommend a book to children, I think I would recommend this one. I feel that Chinese children are rarely taught "how to say goodbye bravely." As the translator said, this topic is difficult for us to mention and face, but life is a process of constantly meeting and saying goodbye to people, and constantly gaining and losing. I think this is the first lesson in life that everyone should learn. I always failed this class. This book tells us, "You don't have to grow up like a rose." Everyone has his or her own uniqueness and shining points, which are quietly placed somewhere, but many people often don't see them easily; love allows us to blend flesh and blood with our loved ones, and each of us has the appearance of our loved ones. This is because love connects us, so we don't have to worry about disappearing when our loved ones leave. You live the way they expect; learn to say goodbye bravely, "the whole world and beautiful things are waiting for me", leaving is also a new life in a certain sense. "Love and growth are the best memorials."
I have read this book before and read it again when I have some free time. I still remember the saying that death is a lonely journey. Effortlessly cramming both death and rebirth into one summer, after the summer is over, all that is left is the dense mist that permeates the tip of the nose.
"It strives to grow into a rose," Will said, I know he started reading poetry again, "But it failed, so summer laughed at it, but when the snowflakes fell, only this little purple flower bloomed all over the mountains and plains. Xia Tian hid her shame, but could not hide her shame. "
The last summer [crying] But Molly was always there, she never left. When I saw Ben and Maria actually preparing a cemetery for their child, I was really shocked. I was so afraid that something would happen to the child later. ⑉꒦ິ^꒦ິ⑉I also thank them, because they really let me know how to do this
After reading this book, I always feel a touch of sadness, I can't tell whether it's for Molly or Meg… It turns out that parting can be desolate even in the summer.
Meg envied her sister Molly, even a little jealously. But he also really likes his sister. When he learned that his sister was seriously ill, he asked his father why? She was the one causing trouble, while her sister, who was seriously ill, was pushing her hard. Jasmine is so gentle. I originally thought that everyone would have a regular conversation with Jasmine who was seriously ill in the ward, but unexpectedly, I directly explained her death. It was so gentle, but Jasmine's death would always haunt them. Mo "It's hard to explain, Meg, but Molly handles it well. She needs us, our love, and nothing else." Dad swallowed hard, and then said, "Death is a lonely journey. The only thing we can do is be with her when she needs us."
There is always a touch of sadness, and some sentences will make you cry inexplicably. It is very short and can be read in a short time, and the content is very substantial. I want to say something interesting. The bad night I just read this book, because the ending was clearly stated in the introduction, I drew two random pictures, one of Molly and Meg, each holding a flower in their hands, Molly smiled and waved as if to say goodbye, and Meg raised her hand in tears as if to stay. (Ooc apologies) I haven't seen the rest of the plot yet. Hua just had an idea and felt it was very suitable for some reason. I didn't expect it to correspond to the rest of the story. I was very surprised. Then to make it more appropriate, I changed the flower in Meg's hand to an agave.
Loneliness May the long summer never end
"Farewell is a lesson that everyone seems to fail"
Saying goodbye is a lesson that everyone seems to fail. The relationship between Molly and Meg is really touching. This book should be promoted to younger children to learn how to let go and say goodbye.
I have finished reading it. It is a very delicate and gentle book. It tells a sad story, but its undertone is optimistic and warm.
It took me an hour to read it, The Last Summer, The story is about Molly who began to have frequent nosebleeds and petechiae on her body, and was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. Molly was hospitalized repeatedly and underwent chemotherapy, and her body became increasingly weak; the atmosphere at home was depressing, and Meg was full of fear, self-blame, and helplessness. But it seems that "I" wrote them all, and I feel like I can't understand them. First the protagonist Molly and then Meg.
The eloquent family affection, the delicate inner monologue, and the tears.
After reading it, I felt sad (T_T). The writing is delicate and it is very suitable for reading in leisure time.
It's very beautiful. I recommend you take a look when you have time. Beautiful and worth reading
It is written very delicately and is worthy of being a masterpiece.
I kept crying. The protagonist's personality is very similar to mine, and I also have an older sister who can be brought in very easily. I have a bit of Molly on my face. I was shocked to see this. The lines of my face, the forehead and cheeks framed by the dark shadows of the trees, were the same as Molly's. I hold my shoulders the same way as Molly. I know that light and shadow only last for a moment, but when Will raised the camera and pressed the shutter at an exposure speed of one hundredth of a second, he captured it all, freezing Molly's shadow on my body forever.
This book teaches us how to view death and rebirth. This may be the meaning of life. I was thinking about why Molly suddenly liked flowers. Maybe she was just like herself, short-lived and withered. Molly's shadow appeared in the photo Will gave Meg. It made me understand that the moment the camera shutter is released, it is eternity. Those who have left will always be with us. I hope book friends can record more of themselves, family, and friends. This is meaningful and worthwhile.
This book is really eye-catching! The plot in the book is ups and downs, exciting, and every turn is unexpected. The author's writing skills are profound and his descriptions are delicate and vivid, as if he can bring readers into the world in the book. The characters in the book have distinct images and unique personalities, which are impressive. In addition, this book also contains profound philosophy and life wisdom, and you will benefit a lot from reading it. I highly recommend everyone to read this book!
A little sad, a little warm, I feel like I have a clearer understanding of death
