abstract

My parents took drugs and began begging at the age of 8. My mother died of AIDS at the age of 65,438+05, and my father entered a shelter. At the age of 65,438+07, she finished four years of high school courses, and at the age of 65,438+0996, she won the first prize of new york Times and entered Harvard. This is a real and hard-working girl's life experience, a life course of self-improvement and high-spirited struggle. In this inspirational American film "Wind and Rain on Harvard Road", Tora? Birch interpreted the story of a girl who overcame all kinds of unfavorable conditions and worked hard to forge ahead, and described the feelings of the characters delicately. What movies convey to people is not only the shock of the soul, but also the deep emotion.

At the beginning of the film, the heroine Liz's mother rummaged around for money to buy drugs. Her sister Lisa is fighting against her mother and resolutely defending her only living expenses. Her father is watching TV, indifferent. Liz lives in such a family, but she still loves life and her mother without complaint.

Next, her mother was taken away by the police for taking drugs and went to a shelter. Her family had two months of peace, but she was not as uneasy as her mother. She longed for love. In another two months, she can finally go to school safely. She is clever, but she can't go to school often. The teacher hoped that she could go to school on time, but due to family reasons, she missed many classes.

Two months later, her mother came back from rehab, but everything changed. Her mother took her sister back to her grandfather's house, and she stayed at her own house. Her grandfather once violated her mother's sister and mother, so she didn't want to face her grandfather. Because Liz often doesn't go to class, and her father doesn't care (her father is a genius, but he is irresponsible and muddles along), finally Liz was sent to a sister shelter, where she spent several years until 15 years old. She was told that her father was forced to live in a shelter because he couldn't pay the rent, so she had to live in her grandfather's house and enter a new school. In the new school, she met her good friend Chris and other students. She took her classmates home to play, and as a result, her mother came home drunk and all her friends left, leaving Chris to comfort her. Liz takes care of her mother and lies down to rest. Chris told Liz that she was homeless. Chris was assaulted by his father and then ran away from home. Then Liz's grandfather came back to drive Chris away, and Liz and Chris ran away from home together.

They slept on the street together, begging and stealing food in the supermarket. They stayed together for a while. Until the day my mother died of AIDS, there was only a coffin, and there was not even a simple funeral ceremony. I just want to yearn for my parents' affection, and the most basic wishes in this world have become extravagant hopes; The coffin will be buried; She jumped on the coffin, lay quietly on it and said her last goodbye to her mother. She whispered to her mother in her heart and recalled the happiest time in her life. Mom left her, and so did the person who loved her the most in the world. An ordinary weak girl wants nothing but affection, leaving her only sadness when her last hope is shattered.

If she sinks, it will be as tragic as her mother's ending; She is determined to say goodbye and start a new life.

She, with sincerity, finally won the opportunity to be admitted to middle school. As a guarantor of her schooling, her father came out of the shelter to vouch for her. When she came out after the guarantee procedure, her father told her that he also had AIDS. Liz was very sad and shed tears. Her father told her: Good boy, keep studying. I can't succeed, but you can. ? Looking at her father's back, the weak girl strengthened her confidence and walked into the school gate calmly.

She began to study hard with extraordinary perseverance. She has to work every day to earn money and attend classes. From the age of 17 to the age of 19, in two years, she studied and mastered the four-year courses in senior high school, and got above A in all subjects. As a reward, she won the opportunity to visit Harvard University in Boston for free with nine other students with the first place in the school.

In the rich autumn, golden yellow covers the whole season. Under that splendid tree, a girl stood in front of Harvard University and looked up. Facing the palace of the university, she is determined to realize her other wish-she wants to be a member of this university, and she wants to prove to herself and the world that life can actually be changed.

Life can really change, as long as you work hard and as long as you pay.

1996, God will make a girl who has worked hard and worked hard gain joy; Her experience, her sincerity and her thesis deeply touched every judge. 12000 first-class scholarship in The New York Times won her a pass to enter Harvard-she succeeded. The dream Harvard University opened its arms to her. With her persistent pursuit of faith and strong desire to change her life predicament, she realized her promise.

In the same golden season, as a member of Harvard University, the highest institution in the world, she sat quietly in the classroom on campus. Maybe only she understands that she has fulfilled her promise. A poor and miserable girl has changed herself and her life with her persistent faith and perseverance.

Homeless Harvard (The Story of Liz Murray) is a movie that arouses alarm in the United States. Liz, a girl who grew up in new york, experienced hardships and bitterness in her life. With her own efforts, she finally entered the highest institution of higher learning, expressing the theme that a poor and miserable girl can change herself and her life with persistent faith and perseverance.
