Glory and dream

When I was young, I also had the dream of being a rocket boy or a scientist, and I believe that many kids as old as me have had such a dream, but we failed. We did not persist in the same way as the little boys in the movies. Maybe we haven’t met such a good teacher to inspire us, there is no such reasonable mother standing behind, there is no little partner who insists on together, but there must be a father of that kind, a director of education, no matter what we do, they Everyone will show up and dictate what you should do and what you shouldn’t do. They help you frame a path that everyone is the same. If you cross the border, you will be punished or even beaten. I was beaten severely for surfing the Internet all night. Haha

Homer also has a stern father, strong and stubborn. In his opinion, playing rugby and being admitted to a good school is the way a boy should go, just like the eldest son did. On the contrary, building a rocket is a very outrageous thing, a waste of time and nothing. Homer, however, is a brave and persistent child. He took the world's best to ask questions from the unattended Quentin. The failure of experiments, disputes with his father, and even being handcuffed to the police station did not shake his confidence. .

Of course, there have been a lot of joys and disputes. The four friends built their own houses at the launch site, stolen the rails on the railway, and Homer and Roy and O'dell quarreled and reconciled. They were mocked by other students at the commissary, Rocket The joy when it went up, the cheers of the townspeople when Homer returned to glory, the gazes of town residents and ward teachers when the rocket finally lifted off, and of course the ignorant love, and the night when it came back from the mine. That rocket book, find out your true ideals, all this outlines a full childhood image, brave and persistent, the glory and dreams of the teenagers are

very good inspirational movies, worth watching
