评分风雨之后的彩虹 ---- 学会感恩 文/落潇 评《风雨哈佛路》 在众多的人物自传中,我们学到了隐忍,学到了等待,学到了厚积薄发,学到了韬光养晦,当一个又一个的伟人、名人、高人,十年寒窗之后,光耀门楣之时,目光所到之处尽是表面的光鲜。《风雨哈佛路》则描写的是...
评分当莉丝身上的钱只够做两件事情,买地铁去下一个地点面试和坐火车回去,还可以买点披萨,如果是我,我可能会选择后者。 小时候,父亲跟我讲过一句话叫:“穷人的孩子先当家”,每个人对这句话的体会是不一样。刚出生 ,她已经注定去应付,“毒品,色情交易,贫...

" Breaking Night reads more like an adventure story than an addiction-morality tale. It's a white-knuckle account of survival. . . . By age 6, Murray knew how to mainline drugs (though she never took them) and how to care for her strung-out parents. She showed uncanny maturity, even as a child, and later managed to avoid that malady of teenagers and memoir writers, self-pity. . . . Murray's stoicism has been hard-earned; it serves her well as a writer. Breaking Night itself is full of heart, without a sliver of ice, and deeply moving." ( The New York Times Book Review ) "Liz Murray shows us that the human spirit has infinite ability to grow and can never be limited by circumstance. Breaking Night is a beautifully written, heartfelt memoir that will change the way you look your community, the obstacles in your own life and the American Dream. An inspiration, a must read." (Robert Redford) "[Liz Murray] reminds us that the greatest acts of love and failure can occur side by side; that isolation and loss can give way to accomplishment and promise. She offers the awesome hope that, regardless of its past, a life can go beyond endurance and reach for triumph. She leave us with the memory of a child who clung to and refused to surrender the dignity of her soul." (Andrew Bridge, author of the New York Times bestseller Hope's Boy ) "As much as it is a memoir, Breaking Night is a primer on how poverty and drug abuse create a heartbreaking underclass of children, one that goes largely unnoticed. By the truly uplifting ending, Liz Murray has shown us the worst, and the very best, of America." (Haven Kimmel, author of A Girl Named Zippy and She Got Up Off the Couch ) In the vein of The Glass Castle, Breaking Night is the stunning memoir of a young woman who at age fifteen was living on the streets, and who eventually made it into Harvard. Liz Murray was born to loving but drug-addicted parents in the Bronx. In school she was taunted for her dirty clothing and lice-infested hair, eventually skipping so many classes that she was put into a girls' home. At age fifteen, Liz found herself on the streets when her family finally unraveled. She learned to scrape by, foraging for food and riding subways all night to have a warm place to sleep. When Liz's mother died of AIDS, she decided to take control of her own destiny and go back to high school, often completing her assignments in the hallways and subway stations where she slept. Liz squeezed four years of high school into two, while homeless; won a New York Times scholarship; and made it into the Ivy League. Breaking Night is an unforgettable and beautifully written story of one young woman's indomitable spirit to survive and prevail, against all odds.

风雨哈佛路
一边跑步一边听,就像在回忆当初看过的电影一般,不过细致了许多
评分Read it as the English material. If what I read is the Chinese version, I may have dropped it in a half way. 85%of the book describes her miserable life before high school, and only 15% tells us how she tried her best for the study and scholarship. For me, I haven’t been touched that much. 作为英语读物读完的。如果是读的中文版,可能看不到一半就放弃了吧。本以为是部励志书,结果85%都在写她高中之前的悲惨生活
评分inspiring and moving
评分风雨哈佛路
