Everyone Should Have a Sycamore Tree

——Book review of Flipped

2015312179 于洋When I read this book, my feelings changed with the characters. Sometimes I was even moved to tears. After finishing it, I kept thinking, why this book touched me so much? Then I realized that every book that made me think of myself impressed me most. In the process of this book, I saw myself sometimes so persistent in something, I saw my father held me and answered my confusions patiently, I saw how my best friend had ever hurt me... ... The following contents are how I feel about this book and what I learn from it.

Do the right thing. Bryce’s grandfather was a very wise man. He ever told Bryce, “ The choices you make now will affect you for the rest of your life.Do the right thing.”Sometimes we are faced with choices, it really needs courage to do the right thing. At first, we may be shy or embarrassed and choose to lean back. In the long run, it will become our usual practice and shape our personality. What we should is breaking the ice. Just stand out and do the thing we really want to do, say the words that from our heart. After doing this one time, we will find how happy and released it is. Wearing a mask is so tough and awful.

You didn’t give me the best, but you give me all. In the book, there was a paragraph between Juli and her dad.Her dad told her:

“Julianna, I’m trying to tell you is I’m sorry.There was so much I want to give you.All of you.I guess I didn’t see until recently how I’ve actually provided.”

“I think you know my heart’s been in the right place, but if you line it up objectively,a man like,say,Mr.Loski adds up to a much better husband and father than a man like me does. He’s around more,he provides more and probably he’s a lot more fun.”

But Juli told him:

“Dad, I don’t care how it cooks on paper, I think you’re the best dad ever! And when I marry somebody someday, I sure don’t want him to be like Mr.Loski!I want him to be like you.”

It’s so warm and touching. It is love that makes us feel the sunshine , kindness,and warmth in the world.That reminds me of my father.When I was a little girl, my family went through a tough time. We were too poor to buy me any toys , beautiful clothes, or delicious snacks. As I grow up, the situation becomes better and better in the efforts of my parents. But dad often felt guilty and said something like he didn’t give me I should have. Actually, I feel very satisfied and happy. Because he and mom are both kind and warmhearted people and they educated me to be like this. They seldom have arguements and provided a harmonious, loving home for me. We love and care about each other all the time.That is the most important thing.
