Interesting words about love
First love is only a little foolishness and a lot of curiosity. Falling in love consists merely in uncorking the imagination and bottling the commonsense. Falling in love is awfully simple, but falling out of love is simply awful. Bitterness imprisons life; love releases it. Bitterness paralyzes life; love empowers it. Bitterness sours life; love sweetens it. Bitterness sickens life; love heals it. Bitterness blinds life; love anoints its eyes.

Text Structure AnalysisWriting Techniques这篇文章突出的特点是：（一）文章的主题深刻，发人深思。
标题：A Good Heart to Lean On该如何理解？我们知道身体上有残疾的人，尤其是本文中父亲这样瘸的残疾人通常需要依靠别人（lean on）,而可以用来依靠的通常是肩膀（arm）,而不是心（heart）.因此我们要问为何作者要给文章命名A Good Heart to Lean On?文章的标题本身就法人深思。
标题下面的一句化概括了全文的中心思想。
More than I realized, Dad has helped me keep my balance. 读了文章，我们知道父亲身体残疾，需要儿子的扶持，依靠儿子保持身体的平衡。
而儿子最后意识到父亲令他保持平衡，当然这种平衡是心灵上的。
因为父亲有一颗善良的心。
（二）整篇文章首尾呼应。
文章第一、二段和文章最后两段构成了典型的呼应。
文中第一段提到his hand on my arm for balance, 在结尾处第十三段中呼应的句子是I put my hand on his arm to regain my banlance.文中第二段中走路一瘸一拐的父亲对不耐烦的儿子说,You set the pace, I will try to adjust to you.而在文中结尾处第十三段也出现了呼应的句子，儿子意识到了父亲的伟大，想象自己对父亲说, You set the pace, I will try to adjust to you.可见父亲的人生态度和典范对儿子产生了深刻的影响。
