summary & the best paragraph of my narrative

Summary:During the winter vacation I went to visit my friend. And we went to see a special performance done all by disabled people. When they were performing one of a deaf girl fell down. However she stood up calmly and continued the performance. I was moved and admired her because of her optimism and sturdiness.

The best paragraph:

They remembered all the positions and moves, although they could not hear the music or the clapping or they could not see the audience. Once they were changing their formation, one deaf girl fell down because of a bulge in the floor. I worried and stretched my neck to see what she was going to do. She stood up calmly with a smile. She got back to her position and continued the performance. The entire audience clapped for her. I was moved like others. If I fell down in front of audience during a performance, how embarrassing it would be. I would not behave as clam as she did. She was so optimistic and sturdy. She was not like most people, she was deaf. If she lost her confidence or she was beaten up by that. Then her life would simply crash. In spite of her deafness, she still could enjoy her life and do lots of meaningful things. Obviously, she had chosen to have a good life. Then she needed to be persistent. She had to build her confidence. She could not learn things by looking at them. She had to learn from what she had heard, felt or touched. Definitely there would be more difficulties since she was deaf. If she wanted to overcome those challenges. She was forced to become stronger than others.

"Of Mice And Men" Candy's diary

Today is July, 13, 1935. The weather is pretty nice. And two new comers just arrive here . One of them is George. The other one is Lennie. When I first see them, I feel that they are different and strange . One thing that is for sure is that George is intelligent. He can notice that the bed is not clean by founding a small can in the box shlef. On the other hand, Lennie seems a little bit dumb. George always answers for him. And once Lennie talks, I feel he is not bright. However Lennie is extremely strong. And when Curley meets Lennie, he starts to against Lennie.He always wants to fight with a big guy. I am wondering what is going to happen between Lennie and Curley.
Today is also a bad day for me especially for my dog. Everyone thinks my dog is too old and no longer useful. They all agree that it should be killed. I am really sorrowful about it becauseI had him from a pup. I know it is old, but I still do not want to lose it. Unfortunately on one supports me. Finally I agree and let Carlson bring it out. I will always remember the joyful time with it.
Later when I talk to George I realize that he is a good partner for me. I am old and can not do too much work any more. Maybe I will be kicked out from this ranch. I should find a way for living in the future. George and Lennie are just the onces who can help me. Therefore I decide to provide my money and buy a farm with them.
At night , another big event happens. Curley comes and looks for his wife. And later he gets mad at Lennie because he thinks Lennie is laughing at him. Curley beats Lennie first. At the begining Lennie is too scared and he can not defend himself. Then George tells him to get Curley. Then the next minute Curley is flopping like a fish on a line. He is badly hurted. I think Lennie does not do anything wrong. Besides he is too loyal to George.
It is the first day George and Lennie come. And there are so many surprises. Hopefully these guys can bring me good luck.
