Johnson Moore, the main character of the
short story ‘The lower’, is probably one of the most memorable short story
characters. He was born as an orphan who was abandoned by his mother due to the
difficulty to live. He faced a lot of difficulties when he grew up. He lived
with his stepmother, Mrs Shear, but he earned a living himself. Finally, he could
achieve his dream of being a singer.
Firstly, Johnson is a memorable character
because of his unswerving determination to sing although he lacked
encouragement from others. When Johnson lived with Mrs. Shear, she did not
treat him well, even did not support him to do anything. Until one day, he
heard some melody of songs from his neighbour and inspired him a lot. Then, he
wanted to become a singer in the future and started to practise everyday
without anybody’s help. His courage is a good model to us because we need
practice to make our dream successful.
He was alone in the time of growing up. He
gained strength and ability of doing things independently. It is important when
we attend to work on one thing. Doing things independently is difficult because
we may be affected by our friends and a lot of temptations. John did not gain
my support, including financial assistance and mental encouragement. He could
still fight against those difficulties and pursued his dream. ‘Dream can change
our life,’ said Johnson when he was pracitising inside his extremely little
bedroom. Eventually, he got a chance to perform in the famous TV station and
became famous.
While I was reading ‘The lower’, I really
enjoyed getting to know more about Johnson because his background is special so
that it makes me interested to know what is going on. In fact, by the end of
the story, I liked him so much that he made his career successfully and become
a famous singer, of course my favourite fictional character also. I also aspire
to be like Johnson in everything that I do because his story will change his
life and finally achieve my dream.
