After reading the book "If you give me three days of light", I was deeply attracted by the protagonist Helen in the book. I learned a lot from her and found the courage to challenge the limits of my life.
Nineteen-month-old Helen was proved to be blind, deaf and dumb due to illness. But she didn't collapse because of it. She still lives happily, successfully studied all the courses in the university and became a writer. These things may be difficult for normal people to do, but she did.
She was very naughty when she was a child. Once, when her mother went to the storage room, she quietly locked the door. As long as her mother turns it off, she will be happy. At that time, her mother was locked up by her for more than three hours. Although she is sometimes naughty, she is also optimistic about life. If I were in her situation, how could I have the heart to play this game? How can you laugh? Maybe I can only sit and sigh alone every day, and everything can only be done by others. I don't know when the sun rises, and I don't know the people around me. I live a meaningless life in the dark all day. She is deaf, dumb and blind, relying entirely on her hands, which almost replaced her eyes and mouth. With her flexible hands and clever mind, she finally became a writer. And we healthy students should work harder than her. If a blind man can go to Cambridge, we should work harder. She has always been diligent. She was dumb, but later she learned to speak. She officially began to speak in the spring of 1890. When Miss Fuller, the headmaster, pronounced her words, she asked Helen to gently put her finger on her face and let her imitate it. After continuous efforts, she finally learned to speak. She has the concept of "I can do what others can do", and she firmly believes that "I can tell what others can learn"! And it's embarrassing to think about it. Math often fails to get high marks and always loses points because of carelessness, so I use "I don't like it" to deal with and escape. If Helen is like me, she will accomplish nothing in this life.
After reading this book, I realized that "we should learn to be strong, optimistic and hardworking, and be as strong as Helen."
