Assignment 8

Assignment 8: Jamaica Inn Part 2

I really like horrible and mysterious story. The weird background music in Jamaica Inn created an atmosphere of tension and I really love it. In the story, after the death of Mary’s mother, Mary is invited by her Aunt to go and live with her and her husband. Mary's uncle is a fierce person, he ordered Mary must listen to him and intimidated her. He asked her must stay in bed and cover her ears with blanket when she hears wheels on the road in some nights. It seems like this Inn have some dirty work. Everything is strange and mysterious, it let me feel curious and I really want to listening it without stop!

Assignment 7

Assignment 7 The key to success

I think it's so true. I agree with the idea that grit is important to success. People who have passionate goals are much more likely to invest effort and persistence in doing what is needed to achieve those goals. Without grit, we are likely to give up when we meet some difficulties.
In my observation, success depends on persistence and diligence, they are inseparable from each other. Take my cousins's experience as an example, since he was a junior high school student, he get up at 3 a.m and go to sleep at 9 p.m , study at least 10 hours every weekends. Every time we visit his father, he just cloistered himself away with his books and stay in the room for the whole day. He's a doctor now. I really admire him from the bottom of my heart.
"No pain, no gain." Trying may not be succeed, but giving up is must be failed. I believe that as long as we have our own clear goals, and work hard continuously, everyone will get good results.
