It is a story full of success and failure, happiness and sadness. It tells us a tragic about three gifted girls’ hard work to try to make achievements in their lives. As we know, the Bronte family had three famous daughters who wrote many popular books. Charlotte wrote Jane Eyre, and Emily was the author of Wuthering Heights, and Anne wrote Agnes Grey. The girls of the family were so talented in writing, so they were admired by a lot of people . Though It seems that this family was a lucky one, it was not so lucky as people thought.They lived in a village named Haworth, which was in the north of England. Their father, Patric Bronte, was a rector of the poor village. He had a lovely wife, five daughters and a son. Though they were poor, they lived a happy life. Unfortunately, his wife died from a lung disease, which bought much sadness to the big family. There’s no use of crying, so they had to receive the miserable fact. The eldest girl, Maria , offered to shoulder the responsibility to take care of the family. She usually read books to her sisters and the only boy Branwell. Besides, their father would like to talk about books and news. Under his influence, they became interested in reading and writing.A few years later, Patric took all his daughter except the youngest Anne to a school called Cowan Bridge School. That school was in very bad conditions--the food was often burnt and uneatable, and they couldn’t fall asleep because the beds were so cold. The girls were weak and easy to get sick, and the bad conditions was no doubtly a assist killer –Maria and Elizebeth died. Hearing the news, Patric was shocked and he took his remaining daughters back and decided not to send them to school again. The girls had nowhere to go, so they had to stay at home , spending most of their time in making up stories by imagining.In order to make a living, Charlotte and Anne had to work as governesses though they didn’t like the work. Without any compliant, they tried to make more money to support Branwell .At that time, almost all the people in the society emphasized more on boys than girls, so as the only boy in the family, he was the core. His father put much attention to his education—drawing and writing, but few people liked his paintings and articles. He felt at loss, and began to drink and take drugs, which made his body weaker and weaker. He coughed day and nigh, and at last he died of tuberculosis just like his mother and two sisters. He achieved nothing all his life, but his sisters , who received little education, made great success in the literature world.Women had very low status and they were not allowed to write books as men did, so they had to use men’s name. They wrote many famous books and were popular with people. Charlotte wrote three books Jane Eyre, Shirley and Villette, and Jane Eyre was the most popular one. Anne’s book, Agnes Grey was a story of an unhappy governess. She wrote the story based on her own hard life, and Emily’s book, called Wuthering Heights, was a frightening and breathtaking story. The girls were happy at realizing their dreams, but the happiness didn’t last long.. A few days after Branwell’s death, Emily died. But it was not the end of the family’s sadness. Anne was ill and soon she died. There were only Charlotte and her father left in the big, empty house. She was the only girl who had gotten married. When she was expecting a baby, she became ill. She loved her husband deeply and didn’t want to leave the world, but God took her away to another world. It was a unlucky family,--none of them lived more than 40 except their father; it was a lucky family—they left the world so many great books. I believe if they could live longer, they will write out more famous works for people in the world. And by doing things with heart and soul, women can also do great things as men, maybe better than men.
