Meggie Cleary is the heroine of the book, "The Thorn Birds", which wrote by Colleen McCullough. The book is about the impermissible love, between Priest Ralph and Meggie.
Meggie`s whole life was unlucky. From she was a little girl, her brother always broke her toys,
and in school nuns beat her everyday. But she never cried, because her father told her , "Regardless of which Krishna Riga children suffer a rattan, even whimper out, I can not be allowed. The same is true for you, and
Megiddo. No matter, she hit more than you play hard, you do not have to sing noise." When she grow up, she was brave enough to face her brothers`,
parents` and son`s death. That is the most important thing which I want to learn. When we
are in trouble, we should be brave to live.
Another thing impressed me most is Meggie`s
persister in love. I can`t say she is right to persist the illegal love, but I am happy she
didn`t give up her love. If she chose another one to marry, she would never be happy. In fact, a tragic but never-forgotten love is much better than a family without love. No matter how bad the end was, she still had the great
memory, That is enough. The spirit of insisting the things that we support is worth for us to learn.
I want to use the
sentence from the "The Thorn Birds" to end my essay, and I love these words very much.
"There is a bird in the world, singing his life only once, but I find going to destroy it from the tree only to find it is necessary to give up. It has its own nail in the sharp thorns of the longest, a cesium was to sing at the cost of life. It's better than
Braun and the nightingale singing, and even the God of heaven has listened to smoke out ... ..."
