Sometimes when i am at a loss or,say,feel extremely frustrated,i may dream that i can have a long long sleep,and when i wake up,everything is ok,more importantly, i could be brave enough to face that all.That would be fantastic!Fortunately i know daydream is daydream,more fortunately enough i know that if i choose to sleep,namely,to escape on the way,something might get missing.And that would be bad,a big misfortune for me.Recently we are required to read a novel titled Rip Van Winkle which is written by Irving Washington.I like it ,i mean the style,the satire and humor,but i do not like the ending that much.Maybe Rip(the protagonist)owns the different view.Generally speaking he is a good guy,easy going,good tempered,and ready to help others.If there indeed exist a problem,it might be that he has a "deligent" and hot tempered wife.Worse more,he tends to be content to easily.After he realizes the inn in the village actually is not a good refugee,he,together with his only domestic adherent,the dog Wolf,goes into the woods for hunting.One day,Rip offers a hand to a darwf,and agrees to take part in a party with him.At the party,he has a kind of magic drink,of course Rip then does not think it "magic",guess what,he falls a sleep after that,a total 20-year sleep!When he goes back the village,he is not recognized at the very beginning.He even finds that he could hardly follow people around him.The Independce War,democratic,republic,etc.,everything they talk about seems to be strange to him,his old buddies have died,Wolf dies the moment he recognizes his owner as well.Rip could live a quiet and peaceful life afterwards,since his wife also dies,and it seems he enjoys himself a lot by telling his kind of adventure story,yet i myself do not like it.Rip misses too much,something important as well as the trival ones, if we compare life to a circle,with the 20 years taken out,it is not whole and perfect at all,on the other hand,life itself is short and precious,all we need to do is to cherish and live fully.The obstacles on the way are meant to be conquered and defeated.To surrender and escape is not a wise policy.
(Sometimes when i feel frustrated,i do not dream,instead i try in this way:we come across difficulties all the way,because God knows that we are capable enough to deal with them,to beat them.And it works!I may become brave and ,come up with some idea latter ,and succeed finally~)
