3. No. What suffers have been through is already happened. They only tell their experience to people doesn’t mean they got comfort from people.

4. No. In my opinion, I don’t share my misfortunes to other people. I am brave because I make effort to confront it and go through it. Other people won’t bring me bravery.

5. Yes. If someone could act tranquility and indifference when he is suffering that means his inner is strong and powerful. So we think he is truly great.

6. Yes, people tend to magnify the slightest inconvenience into calamities. People would enlarge their inconvenience because we feel strongestly with what happen to us. When misfortune happen, we tend to compare our lives with the ones that better us. It leads to people to magnify their trivial problem. After all, we are not like the disabled soldier in the story.

7. The soldier mostly uses positive words to describe his miserable life. First, talking his experience at the workhouse, he says it was "enough" and he "ate and drank well", but everyone said he should run away.

He also descibe the jail was an "agreeable" place and "the kind of life was too good to last".(9)

He felt "happy" while "doing little jobs when he could get them"(9).

He also downplay his wound because he use "but" to descibe his severe breast wound.

He believed that his clothes tied up to be a blanket is warm enough.

In the end, he still enjoys good health despite having a very poor life.

8.
1. father died when he was five years old.
2. none of the parish wanted him.
3. people decided his life and put him in a workhouse
4. put him to bussiness when he was just a kid.
5. bound out to a framer till he died
6. starved when he could not get employment.
7. indicted and put into jail
8. sold to the planter.
9. knock down by press-gang and enlisted
10. get a breast wound.
11. boatswain beat him
12. lost all of his money
13. lost four fingers off the left hand, and his leg was shot off

9.
In our opinion, sometimes we need to have experienced the misery because that can make us grow up. At the other side, we should despise misery sometimes because it could make us have the determination to confront it

10. In this story, we could found that how happiness we are. We need to be more cherish what we have. But we can’t used to be failure all the time. We have to sometimes confront it by our own power.  The story is not only about suffering. It is about more to achieve a peaceful state of mind while dealing with misfortune. Compared with others, we already have enough in our lives.
