400 words after reading a tree in Brooklyn.

It took almost a month to finish reading the book intermittently. There are some inspirations and insights:

This tree in Brooklyn is a big Ailanthus altissima tree growing in a poor, humble and messy environment, but it is brave, tenacious and optimistic, and can sprout even on hard concrete floor. Also known as the paradise tree by locals.

This tree in Brooklyn is also a poor little girl. Her family is poor, sometimes lacking food and clothing, and often forced to starve. But she was lucky enough to study hungrily, and she was a child raised by books. She vowed to read the books in the library from beginning to end, and the happiest childhood was sitting in the shade and reading quietly. This little girl who loves reading learned to write and think through reading, and even went to work, and walked out of extreme poverty, out of that poor world, onto the road of creation, and began her happy American dream.

This tree in Brooklyn is also a poor family. Although extremely poor, my father earned a little money by singing to people in hotels, and my mother made up for her family by cleaning people. However, even if my father only has one dress, he can always clean it up, and the fake collar made of leather shoes and paper is as shiny and stiff as a gentleman. Mother is more capable and neat, and always keeps her shabby home and clean place tidy. The most admirable thing is that this mother has been taught by her illiterate grandmother since she was born and read to her children before going to bed. In such an era of extreme poverty (the beginning of the twentieth century), the Bible and Shakespeare were repeatedly read to children for them to recite.

This tree in Brooklyn is still an era. At the beginning of the 20th century, people were able to overcome difficulties and live tenaciously under the extreme material shortage in the United States. ...

In a word, this book gives me these key words: strong, optimistic and hardworking.
