Where there's a will, there's a way. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance: for these who mean to be their own governors, must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives. James Madison

“ Child, child, you must not go into the woods again. Sounder might come home again. But you must learn to lose, child. The Lord teaches the old to lose. The young don’t know how to learn it. Some people is born to keep. Some is born to lose. We was born to lose, I reckon. But Sounder might come back.”--- by William H. Armstrong from Sounder.

上段是從本書中節錄出的一段話，以下是Pamela不負責亂翻，請客官們見諒！

 

媽媽勸告小男孩不要再去森林找Sounder了，因為牠可能已經回家了！媽媽要小男孩學習失去，上帝教大人們學會失去，但因為青少年還不知道如何學會失去的意義。有人註定不用經歷失去的痛苦；但有些人卻註定無法擁有，而我們卻屬於後者。但Sounder或許會回家的。

 

自己翻的好爛啊！不過雖然小男孩的媽媽沒上學，也無法提供良好的教育環境，但她還是把自己從生活中獲取的經驗，傳承給小男孩。雖然她知道一下子要小男孩成長，是很殘忍的，但因為家境不好，卻不得不這樣做，但她還是會適時的鼓勵小男孩，讓他不要對這麼快就面對人性的黑暗面，在他需要母愛時，陪在一旁加油打氣。
