Dreams Are Reality
One book that I think I could never forget is the book entitled "Great Expectations" by Charles Dickens. It tells about gratitude, sufferings and social mobility. The story shows how can we be grateful to those who are gentle to us and understands us. However, there may be others who are the otherway around, thus making our lives difficult. It also shows how eager are we to climb up higher on the social ladder. This book is like a mirror to what is almost forgotten nowadays. That is why I will always remember what this book told me.
The book tells a story of a boy who has "great expectations" in life. First, when he was young he wanted to get out of his noisy, chaotic home. When he was older, he fell in love with a pretty but haughty girl who is the adopted daughter of a wealthy woman, Miss Havisham, the one who hired him as her companion. From that time on, he aspired to be a gentleman, which he certainly is in the end.
After reading this book, I understood that there is nothing wrong about dreaming, especially if we have that determination to reach that dream. Once a poor, starving boy, Pip dreamed and became a successful gentleman because he wanted to be like a gentleman. What we dream, whatever our ambitions are, we can get it, we can grasp it if we know we can reach it. Therefore, dream the impossible, and make sure you have that determination to grab it, and in the end, you will get it. Aim higher! It is better to aim high and miss that to aim low an hit.
