A Summer’s Reading by: Bernard Malamud

Write a letter from George to Mr.cattanzara ten years after the story ends.

Hi Mr. cattanzara, how are you ? wish you be fine. this is George, I’m writing this letter for you after this years to thank you and to tell you how you changed and affected my life to a successful life.

At the beginning, 11 years ago, I was that failure person, I was doing nothing useful and this affected my life in the bad way, not educated, have no job, no money and living a bad life.

Every thing start to change at that day, I told you that I’m reading 100 books and you discovered my lie, you told the people a rumor to help me feel respected. my life start to change I think this called white or good lie.I wanted this lie to be real and to start reading 100 books. I’m started to read the books in the library it was medicine books, of course I start reading easy books then, I stared to read harder and harder.

this wasn’t easy for me but I always wished to be a successful doctor and I worked on my self to start and learn in the university.

First, I start working in the hospital cleaning to gain some experience from the doctors then, I worked in other places to get more money for my university.

it was a difficult period but I overcame all the difficulties and worked so hard.

here I am a very successful doctor, yes!! Can you believe?!

All of these changes in my life caused by you, you really a good person thanks for this awareness and your advice to be educated and advice to do not make same mistake you did. you made me an important person by your support. thank you for helping me achieving the American dream, overcome my problems and thank you very much about everything, wish you all the best in your life.

Imagine that you are George at the end of the story . write a summary of the first book that you chose to read. explain why you chose it.

The name of the book was “How to get more successful life.”.

I chose this book because I thought that this book will give me positive sentiment to help me continue reading the books and get educated and more clever. and really! this book gave me positive energies and encourage me continue my reading and continue my work because it was very hard to work and start a new life after this time.

This book talking about how to get successful life and give positive energies, ways to live better life and I felt that this book suitable for my situation.in the beginning of the book, the writer start to talk about poor life, ignorant life, unsuccessful life… and all the bad things in life caused by our failure.

The writer shows the life of misery and compare it with successful life.

This book shows how comfortable successful life is. after that, the writer start talking about the ways we can get a good life, and how to love the life we live. this book talking about all the problems we can face, and how to overcome all this problems.

Then, the writer start comparing between educated people and how these people are respected and feel proud about them self, living successful, good and happy life. and between people who’s not educated, how others look and think about them, most of them feel not respected and this is a bad thing.

So after all of these, the reader starts to feel how much being educated and working is important.

I advise every desperate person to read this book because it will help hem so well.
