Original
My favorite book is the romance novel "Gone with the Wind." In the novel, a young woman, Scarlette O'Hara, tells everyone that she is in love with a man named Ashley Wilkes. But there is another man, Rhett Butler, who has a powerful effect on her, and it is not until Rhett decides to leave that Scarlett realizes who she truly loves. The book is about truth and imagination. What we believe we are is not necessarily what we really are.
In addition to the love story, I also appreciate the philosophy of Scarlett. For her, "Tomorrow is another day." When I am in a low mood, I always tell myself that tomorrow will be a better day. Reading "Gone with the Wind" is not only enjoyable, but also true, to me, about the definition of tomorrow.
