Alexander the Boy

This book, "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day", written by Judith Viorst. The story in the book describes a boy named Alexander would move to Australia. However, he suffered many bad things and they all happened in a day. He got carsick on his way to school. In the school, the teacher said his picture was bad. After class, his classmate told him that he wasn't his best friend anymore. After school, his mother took all the children to the dentist, but only he was found a cavity in his mouth. When he went home, he got hurt because the elevator closed on his foot. And then, he fought with other kid but was scolded by his mother. In the evening, he got soap in his eyes when taking a bath, and had his hated lima beans for dinner. After so many bad things happened, he slept on a hot bad and with an ugly pajamas.

From this morning, Alexander found that everything was going bad, and he thought that he would have a very bad day. He scold by his teacher and mother, not be esteem as a friend, and got hurt by an elevator. He was angry but he couldn’t spoke it out to his families or classmates. He couldn't stand on that but all he could do is just slept and took it as a day. He complained it to his mother, but his mother said some days are like that in Australia. Though he was very sad and angry, he still had to call it a day, and went to his bed.I think people always have bad things in daily life, but we can just smile and take it as a experience. Stop complaining and face to the bright of life.
