The Gift by Cecelia Ahern
(moral value)
The book that i have read is The Gift by Cecelia Ahern. This book is about Lou who has a wife named Ruby and two children, Lucy and Bud. He frequently neglects them because he was chasing after money. Lou constantly breaking promises to all of them. But then, as Christmas approaches, he meets the mysterious Gabriel and everything changes.
Gabe is a homeless man whom Lou offered a job at his post room. Gabe taught Lou how precious the value of time is. Lesson that there’s only one choice he should make of where to spend his time; that one day time will run out, and he will be sorry if he squanders the time that has been given to him. Gabe tries to teach Lou that the shaky and ultimately meaningless steps on the ladder of ambition can’t compare to being with the people you love, and who truly love you.
Other than that, Lou also learnt that you should always appreciate the people around you. Lou has been treating Ruby, Lucy and Bud badly. But as time comes, he learnt to appreciate them. He soon realize who is truly important in his life.
