1.Werther says “ That the life of man is but a dream is a thought which has occurred to many people, and I myself am constantly haunted by it” at the beginning of the letter written on May 22. What is he trying to tell us, we people everywhere?
(Evidences:the first paragraph on the letter written on May 22)
Werther may want to tell us that we people should not always make goals which are hard to reach.We should make some easy targets,and get them first,not alway daydreaming.And I think Werther was a man without great goals.He just wanted to enjoy the beautiful environment around him.
2.How does Werther think of children? Why does he think that the happiest people in the world are like chidren?
(1)Werther thinks that children are the happiest people in the world.
(2)In my opinion,the reason why he thinks that the happiest people in the world is that children are the purest people in the world,they don’t have any pressure and they don’t have to worry about anything.All they can do is just play and play and play.
3.What kind of person does Werther think he is? What are the characteristics of the young Werther you learn from the letter on May 22?
In my opinion,Werther thought that he was smarter than all the countrymen he protrayed and talked with.They were valued to Werther because of their ignorance,and also made Werther consider himself a wise man. He thought too much to realized by himself.

Hey, Andy,
You shared good opinions in Essay One.
In your Essay Two, you seemed to conclude that the main characteristics of children is playing all the time only. Is this the crucial reason Werther thinks children are the happiest in the world because all they do is play everyday? Is there something else of children that moves or touches Werther’s fragil but passionate soul?
