But Dewey has no noble blood and strange skills. He only has simple stories that touch the hearts of countless readers. Abandoned by others, he is still full of confidence and gratitude. Aside from abstruse words, Dewey just let us know with his frankness and simplicity: find your place in life, satisfy what you have and be kind to everyone. Enjoy a good life, not for material things, but for love. But more part of the novel describes the history of Ayihua for nearly 20 years, and describes how people lost, left, returned and died. Dewey is one of the many histories of the town. Dewey's departure after 19 does not mean the end of a period of history, but the beginning of a new one. In the process of industrialization and urbanization, the residents of Spencer refused slaughterhouses and casinos, and always insisted on that quiet paradise. The real value of a small town lies in that everyone regards it as their real home and where their hearts belong. Its stability benefits from the maintenance of beliefs and lifestyles by generations of residents. A strong local consciousness will make an ordinary home extraordinary, because everyone's determination and dream are to make their home better, no matter how small or backward it seems. Spencer's difficult development period was survived by people, and of course Dewey also contributed. Its existence exceeds the value of a cat, and it brings spiritual comfort to people. When someone is sad, confused and disappointed ... Dewey will climb on his knee and spend more time with him.
In the face of life's predicament, only love can make it bloom again. Imagine trudging through the ice and snow and coming to a cabin, where the burning firewood warms us. Continue on the road at dawn the next day, full of courage and strength. The firewood has gone out, which is the heat and light that will never go out in my heart. Dewey is such firewood, and there are many such firewood in our life. Parents, friends, and even strangers may just pass by. A gentle look and an encouraging word will turn into courage and strength, and hug us tightly in a difficult situation. When we move on, memories are swept away by a gust of wind, and we suddenly think of them. They may have disappeared into nothingness for a long time. What they want in return is not memories, not thoughts, but that we can live well. Although Dewey is gone, we will never forget his love and those fiery eyes that constantly inspire us.
As Vicky said, compared with Dewey's great deeds, the most memorable thing is the way he looks at us from the cover of the book, because it clearly says: trust and love.
How much influence will an animal have? After reading Dewey the Cat, I have a different understanding. This book, written by American Vicky Mellon and Brett Witt, is a best seller in The New York Times. The reason why it has such influence is probably because it is a true story, and the author described it delicately, which made the cat appear vividly in front of readers, as if he had experienced the recovery from depression in Spencer, Iowa, and felt the charm of the cat with the author.
Although it is just an abandoned kitten, it is very beautiful, lovely, calm and friendly. A pair of big golden eyes seem to be full of expectations for life. Its charm also lies in that it changed the lives of "I" librarians and many people, changed a small library, saved a traditional American town, and finally became famous in the world.
My name in this article is Vicky Myron. 1987, I am the curator of Spencer Public Library. 1988, on a cold night, the curator and staff found a kitten in the return box of the library. The library members decided to adopt the kitten and named it Dewey, which comes from the sentence "Do weread more books".
How can it affect the whole town and become famous all over the world? I think it should be that it has tenacious vitality; It has childlike naive and romantic behavior, which makes people forget their troubles; It has a grateful heart and can love all those who love it.
At the beginning of the book, when Dewey the kitten was rescued, it was as dirty as a Embryo Cat, only eight weeks old, but "it looked as big as eight days". It is very thin, and its four paws are frostbitten. After being rescued, Dewey, the kitten, barely propped up her limping legs and feet, and rubbed every hand that touched her with gratitude and love, winning the hearts of Wikipedia and everyone in the library. Wiki thought, "The strangest thing is that this cat was so happy when she first came to the library."
It has childlike naive behavior, even if there are more troubles, it makes people smile. He likes rubber bands very much. No matter how you hide, the rubber band flies to him like a hook. Finally, everyone indulged him. When Wiki works in front of the computer late at night, it wags its tail above the computer screen. When Vicky is tired, she will play hide-and-seek with Vicky. "Playing hide-and-seek with Dewey helped me through many difficult nights."
Dewey loves everyone who loves him, whether he is a serious gentleman or a busy lady, or a child in a bad mood, he will try to climb on his knee and sleep late. There was a man who always pushed away and refused at first, but later he often came to the library, hoping Dewey would accompany him. Since Dewey entered the library, readers have been coming to the library for a longer time. The town Council never approved the renovation of the library, but because of Dewey's arrival, the popularity of the library rose, and finally the Council passed the application for renovation of the library. This also shows the charm of this cat.
There are many touching examples about its love for people. For example, because of it, Vicky and her daughter have a more harmonious relationship. For another example, Dewey melted a girl's cocoon-bound heart. That's a disabled girl named Crystal. She longed to touch Dewey like other children, but she felt inferior and could only watch from a distance without saying a word. So one day, Dewey got up and jumped on him, and Crystal screamed with fear. Later, however, the relationship between Dewey and Crystal became better. Crystal stopped being afraid and began to stroke Dewey's hair. They became good friends.
In the following nineteen years, Dewey the kitten moved and attracted the townspeople with her enthusiasm, warmth, humility and keen sixth sense (Dewey the kitten always knew who needed it most).
Dewey's cat fame spread from town to town, from country to country, and finally became famous all over the world.
Dewey the kitten reminds me that no matter how frustrating life is, we must be strong, loving and grateful. If everyone gives love and takes it back, then people in this world will be more harmonious and beautiful.
Through the reading of Dewey the Cat, I let everyone who has read this book understand a truth, the meaning of life, that is, to respect all life and love all life, no matter how humble or noble it is. In this world, everyone is equal, and living is meaningful.
In real life, there are many different kinds of life, such as: animals, plants, humans ... Many humans look down on such a small animal as Dewey, they ignore it and abuse it, even if they witness a weak life disappear from this world, they just walk by casually. I want to ask: aren't we human beings an animal? Are we like this now in ancient times?
To learn to care, we must first start from ourselves. People living in this diversified world should learn to care for and help each other. We care about others, understand others and help others, even if it is a humble kitten. I want to ask: "Who doesn't expect to be loved and recognized by others?" No one wants to live alone in this world! Life is the condensation of love. How can a person who never loves others get their love? Love begins with yourself!
Of course, the fundamental reason for being responsible for all life is to be responsible for yourself. If there is no respect for all life, there is no guarantee that people will respect themselves. Any life has its own value and right to exist, just like Dewey. Goodness is to maintain life, improve life, and realize the highest value of developable life; Evil is destroying life, hurting life and suppressing the development of life. Like the German philosopher Albert? Schwaetzer's book "It" said: The awe of life itself contains these virtues: love, dedication, sympathy, communication and common pursuit.
I read an article before, in which many famous happy sentences were written, and one of them made me very sigh, that is, Munir? The true happiness written by Nassouf can only be realized when you really realize the value of life. Yes, if a person does not cherish his life and has been hurting his life, he will never understand what happiness is and what happiness is.
It's hard to imagine a cat encouraging a small town to strive for integration during 19. Let everyone get closer, become a symbol and become a topic. Not every cat can be like Dewey. I believe that when Dewey was rescued and Vicky opened her eyes between her warm palms, Dewey didn't see a curator, a woman or a stranger. I believe Dewey saw his mother.
Women who have lost relatives, mothers who have lost pets, homeless people, upper-class people in suits and ties, children who are allergic to cat hair, mothers who have given birth to children with Parkinson's disease, old people, babies, workers and farmers, everyone will sincerely shout: Hi, Dewey, how was your day?
His existence transcends the value of angels, and he brings spiritual comfort to people. When someone is sad, confused and disappointed ... Dewey will spend more time with him.
Find your place, satisfy what you have, be kind to everyone, and live a good life, not materially, but love. ...
Dewey the Cat is definitely worth reading. It will inspire us to think more deeply about why there is life in the world. What is the meaning of life? Just a kitten can make us suddenly enlightened and make our life more valuable.
