Thank you very much for your letter, it was nice hearing from you. In the letter you write about "green club" that was organized at your school, it really did interested me. For the name I would recommend you leaving the name as it is or you can rename it as "Nature protectors". And yes I would really want to have a "green club" at my school as well, because I think it can help make our planet better. I think the "green clubs" can deal with projects like planting trees, collecting and recycling trash, creating birdhouses and many more. Oh, and what about your dad's new business? I'm looking forward to your reply. Please write back soon.
Best wishes,

The story is about a simple sailor who is very ambitious and is willing to educate himself and become a writer. He is not accepted since he is poor, no one wants to publish his works, and the love of his life cannot marry him. Eventually, he gains success and at this point everyone who used to despise him, turn to him and became incredibly kind to him all of a sudden. This book is autobiography, Jack London describes his early years, his strive for education and enormous powers to keep going.
It is an amazing book, it really spoke to me. I would definitely recommend it to everyone. It shows that success doesn't come without courage and a strong will. This book is very encouraging.
