1.A disabled soldier, a beggar, whose life has been one misery after another, one leg shot off, and four fingers of his left hand, unrelieved by any good fortune, but he takes great satisfaction in the little comforts of life, especially that he still lives, can eat and sleep, even if he has to beg for both. And he loves England. “Thus saying, he limped off, leaving me in admiration at his intrepidity and content.”

2. Agree, because the great often has a influence towards the society. Their misfortunes are held and everyone will pay attention. For an example, Korean idol is having a divorce, all of the media will be crazy over it and the fans/society will also affected by the news. Their misfortunes are held because there will be many audience that will pay attention.

3. Yes because when others people shows the admiration and feel pity to the sufferers, the sufferers will feel get support and encourage from the others. So he will feel there is a hope and ready to bear the suffers with fortitude

4. No we don't agree, because every single person needs someone to support him for act bravely bearing misfortune. Every man has enough courage to be in the spotlight of others but men don't have enough courage to bear misfortune when no one is pushing him. So a man will feel no hope to bear the misfortune.

5. Agree, because facing problems/misfortunes is not easy to face alone.

6. Yes, most of the great misfortunes are a pleasure for the poor.

7. Reason1 I knew him to have been honest and industrious when in the country and was curious to learn what had reduced him to his present situation. Reason2 As for my misfortunes, master, I can't pretend to have gone through any more than other folks, for, except the loss of my limb and my being obliged to beg, I don't know any reason, thank Heaven, that I have to complain. There is Bill Tibbs, of our regiment, he has lost both his legs and an eye to boot, but, thank Heaven, it is not so bad with me yet.

8. His broken leg left him relying on wooden legs, and his father died when he was five years old. At the same time, he also became a wanderer.

9. Yes we agree, If we face the suffer by our own we gonna feel how the suffer is and we can know how the way to bear the suffers, but if we just recognized the suffer from other people, we could not know how the suffers and pain feels like.

10. The story is very hard to understand with having many vocab that is rarely used
