Round the World in Eighty Days
I read a novel "Round the World in Eighty Days". It is written by Jules Verne. It said a gentleman named Phileas Fogg who lived in London was a disciplined man. One day he read a news that said people could go round the world in eighty days in 19th century. Fogg believed that he could do it , but his friends didn't think so. So they betted Fogg twenty thousand pounds. Even though Fogg encountered many difficulties, such as the bad weather, the uncompleted structure railway and a detective who thought that he was a bank robber. He still went back to London on time and won his bet, and because he saved a beautiful girl in India, he won a pretty wife as well. Fogg is a brave, friendly and lucky man, so he had a happy life. I wish I can travel round the world in the future. Of cause it needs good luck, enough money and time.
The Pursuit of Happyness
The Pursuit of Happyness is a true story about the successful investor Chris Gardner. Chris has a family with his wife and a son. They always had a happy life before Chris began to sell medical instruments. Even though Chris and his wife work hard every day, their life still becomes more and more difficult. One day, Chris meets a stock broker who looks so satisfied. Then he decides to be a stock broker. However, his wife no longer trusts him and leaves him. After that, Chris and his son are too poor to pay the rent, and then they have to stay in the church or the subway station. No matter how tough they are, Chris Gardner finally lands an internship at a stock brokerage firm and wins the only one position because of his bright and the spirit that he never gives up. Just as Chris Gardner said, "You got a dream, you gotta protect it." Will Smith does play out the role of Chris Gardner marvellously. It is really a wonderful movie. Chris Gardner teaches us never give up. "You want something, go get it!"
