Be kind, for everyone is fighting a hard battle. Each character is a representative of a type of character: Parents—Julian’s parents and sisters—Miranda-Parents—grandma Jack/Summer-Julian/7th grade senior teacher/Principal Zhang Xianzhi: Greatness lies not in being strong but in the right using of strength. He or she is the greatest whose strength carries up the most hearts by the attraction of his own. Maybe the truth is, I'm not so ordinary-Maybe if we knew what other people were thinking, we 'd know that no one is ordinary. And we all deserve a standing ovation at least once in our lives.
