英文閱讀：have a little faith 組員：簡劭勻（B409099052）李佩璇（B409099053） 文章：What is Rich? Summary: The Reb had come back from the hospital for 3 years. He was thinner and weaker. He even walked with a walker. There were health care worker who came to the Reb’s house to aid him. This day, Mitch came to visit him as usual, but now he and the Reb had became good friends. Mitch found that the Reb’s house did not change so much from the day he visit the Reb’s first time, the same old furniture and old television. Therefore, he wrote about Albert Lewis’s childhood. The Reb’s family was poor. When he was a child, he always wore his cousin’s old clothes and ate the bread with discount for meal. Maybe that’s why he was very frugal and did not judge the life by what he owned now. The Reb said “I had what I need, what bother chasing more?” He didn’t care about the price and the quality of the products, and he only thought about they are useful or not. The Reb is really satisfied with his life.
Afterthoughts: What is rich? I think most people might think of having lots of money. Maybe we all used to envy the life of the rich .But, having lots of wealth doesn’t mean you would be happy. Instead of complaining about the poverty ,the most important thing is being content with what you have. Once we are satisfied with everything we have, our life would be much happier.
Questions: What is Rich to the Reb? Do you think Reb is rich or not ? Why? (Try to explain it.)

Afterthought: Everyone will face the death when we are getting old. We can’t escape the truth－our lives are reducing. I think we should seize every moment as possible as we can.

Why the author place reb’s old film in the end of this chapter?
組員:技一林昱珊(b114099004) 技一吳群麗(b114099081) 文章: Church(from p132) Summary: After several invitations by Henry, Mitch went to the church and listen to Henry’s sermon. Henry talked about that he was depressed because of having no money to fix the hole in the ceiling. But he soon realized that what God cares is about us and about what’s in our heart.
Henry was sent in Detroit in 1992. His work is to build a new Pilgrim ministry. Because of his devotion to study and easy connection to people, Henry was elevated to a pastor. Even when Henry didn’t been paid for the salary, he refused the local drug dealers. He asked God for guidance and did whatever he could to keep his church and family afloat.
Afterthought: I think Henry regrets what he has done before; therefore, he decides to correct his error. No matter how hard the life is, he would thank what God blesses him. Even if Henry is in the adversity now, he would not do something illegal. Instead, he would pray for God’s help. He has once said: ”God cares about you, and what’s in your heart. ”
Question: 1. What’s the difference between Henry and Rebbi’s sermon?
2. Henry used to steal or rob other’s thing when he is poor .Now, Henry deeply believes in God, what is his difference between now and before?
The End of Summer Summary: Reb has a cancer but he didn’t tell Mitch. Afterthought: Reb 對病情隻字未提，是一種體貼，不希望Mitch擔心，或許身為有信仰的人，自然而然會充滿對神的愛對人的愛吧。
Church Summary: 生活在經濟蕭條的美國，Mitch奉獻己力創辦遊民慈善機構，為了讓資金能有效率的運用，Mitch親自拜訪有需要的遊民收容所，而和當時提供遊民服務的牧師Henry有了交集，算是對先前故事做了連結。 Afterthought: 先滿足自己的需要，剩下的再拿去幫助別人是人們的本性。在資源充裕的時候，行善也許沒這麼難，但是像Mitch這樣，當大家生活都不好過的時候，還能夠拿出擁有的來幫助別人，是非常有勇氣也非常偉大的作為。如果世界上多一點這種人，也許人們會更幸福一點。

Henry做過不少壞事,雖然最後他口中聲稱已經對上帝發誓悔過.但感覺他的信仰是決定於是否活到早上,而不是真正反省自己,從小就犯下搶劫的Henry最終還是另人覺得他的話還是不值得信任,因為由他談話方式和內容,他的惡習還是存在他那令人捉摸不定的內心
