  1. Whem I read this article ,what came to my mind was a campaign about basketball game, but it needed to close eyes.To be frank, I want to experance this special experance for it enabele me to figure out how those people feel more;in the meanwhile, it also challenge my sense of direction.By the way,I want to forage for a song song by Stevie Wonder ,but the speed of downloading always too slow.林偉強

  2. It's my first time to meet Frank Mccourt. Finishing the articles about him, I was totally touched. He overcomed obstacles by his sense of humor although his childhood was a misery.

  4. Frank Mccourt is a warrior of life. when he suffering from the obstacles in his life,what he do is to overcome it rather than refuge from it. It is what I lack. Now I know when I am suffering from obstacles what I should is to try my best to solve it.

    It sounds interesting. You think Fank's life as a ball game! I think it is a very special idea. basketball is a exit game. To get points,there are lots of obstacles from the enemy. If you want to get points,what you should do is to overcome them. And than, you are the warrior of yourself.

  6. I think that Frank Mccourt is a brave and respectable person. No matter what obstacles he faces,he can overcome it.Besides,he an tell his students about his poverty and hard childhood as stories to encourage his students. Therefore,I think that he is a respectable person.

    It us great to regard Frank's life as a baseball game. His obstacle are like competitors during a game. Then he finallly defeats his competitors and win the game of life.

  8. These stories tell us that if someone want to do some miracle things, he/she should suffer being defeated or other obstacles before.

  10. angela ashes's movie and article was really touched my heart...because its told us that they have to survive for they life in this world where others have everything for their own needs...
    in my country,when i was in my car on the street, i can saw that 5 or 6 years old children stand over the street to ask few money from driver.. i felt that they life is realy tragic because when i was a child, i can play with my parents and friends in kindergarten..but what about them.... they have to stand all the day in shining sun just to continue they life...
    so friends, when u eat something or when u spend your money, just think that lot of people out there have nothing to eat... appreciate that what u have now and others...

    yeah you have a great opinion about frank....
    and i got my opinion same as yours... because when frank knew that his childhood is so full of poverty, maybe he'll be shame and hard to share with others how's his life..because people like to told about their life when they was young just for flashback their memories and find something funny that we did some goofiness as a child..
    but frank, he had bravery to tell the truth...
    we have to learn from him... haha...

  18. I have heard a story:
    Long time ago, there was a man lost his left arm during a accident. He was a jujitsu apprentice. Despite lost a arm, he still not gave up his dream in jujitsu. After the accident, his teacher only taught he a still. Despite wonder why his teacher just only teach he a skill, the man still did all his best to make his skill perfect. Half year later, his attended a jujitsu game. He just wanted to know his level than other player. Although he just can use a skill, but unexpectedly he won all of other player. Till the end, there was no one could defend his skill. He asked his teacher for the reason. His teacher answered, "For two reason. The first reason is you have ever make this skill perfect. The second reason, your competitor only can defend this skill by seize your left arm.
