Quotation assignment

 “Tomorrow is another” quotes from novel Gone with the Wind. This is a famous saying by the heroine Scarlet. Each time when bad things happen, Scarlet uses this sentence to cheer herself up. When her mother dead, when her loved one marries the other girl, when his father breaks his neck by riding the horse, when her family lost all the properties, when her own daughter dead of a horse-riding accident, she all says to herself: “Tomorrow is another day.” Scarlet never gives up the hope of life. She is a strong-willed girl and also a perseverant person. Your attitude decides your life. Life may be tough, but we can choose to face it with a positive attitude. When you feel depressed and upset, take tomorrow as a new start. Facing it with a brave heart. No matter failure or glory, after today it will be the past, tomorrow is the future.
When I was in high school, my physics grade is usually below C. The teacher had called my mom and said that he thought I could never pass the final exam. However I did not give up, the month before the exam I slept only three to four hours a day. Although the teacher did not show any confidence to me, I kept doing my own business. I did each exercise and recite every formula. At last I got A in the final exam which surprised my teacher. If I give up when my teacher  gave up me I could never prove that I can still do good in physics.

                     Response to the second question
It is true that law is created just but it cannot build just and good people. Just laws can only punish those who behave inappropriately. Its dignity can warn people who was not born to evil. To those who was born to evil, even death sentence cannot frighten them, like the serial killer Anton Chigurh in the movie No Country for Old Men. We all know what has happened in Century movie theater in Aurora, Colorado, James Eagan Holmes shot 12 people dead cold-heartedly. When he was in the court, he was sitting there smiling. It seems he was mocking the people he killed. So it is difficult for the nation to use laws to help make its citizens good and just. To prevent gentleman not to prevent the villain. This is an old saying from China. That is to say there is no absolute relationship “just laws” and “just citizens”.
