I Had A Hero

Mike the person who is teaching others how to raise fish. Ilunga who is the head of village wants to learn how to raise fish from Mike. Mike says that he needs a pond, so Ilunga decides to dig a pond which is 150m2. It is bigger than a usual size and he digs it with a shovel which borrows from Mike. Digging and digging for few month no mater Ilunga gets fever he still working until everything done.

I think Ilunga is hard working person who works for month and do not really take a rest. In the story when Mike touches Ilunga’s hand and it was on fire one morning. When I see this sentence the picture of Ilunga appears in my mind. His hands are red with dirt. His body is dirty with fever. I cannot picture who can works so hard and not taking any rest. I remember when I get fever my mother always says that I need to have more rest. One time, I got fever but I was still doing some works to pretend that I was strong. The reason that I was doing that is because I did not want to see doctor. I was sure that I will have to take injection if I go there. After I while, I kept doing my works but suddenly my hands were shaking and later on I could not really my arms. I suddenly realize that I needed to go and see doctor.

This experience told me that fever is very serious problem if that time I did not go and see I think I would have some damages in my drain. I think Ilunga should care more about his body but not just working and working. He might die because of the fever.

What else could you describe Ilunga? Is he determined or stubborn or tough guy?
I think you have misunderstood for the size of the pond that they have dug. It is actually
15x20meters. You could say that Ilunga’s hand was hot like fire. It was because Ilunga dug the pond with less rest. For you summary, if you say it was on fire, other people might think that the fire is on his hand. It’s great that you picture in your mind for his really hot hand and his fever.
Thank you for showing up your experience, don’t forget to see the doctor when you are sick.

I want to add something more!!
Can Michael also be a hero??
For me,yes because he taught Ilunga to raise fish, he lend Ilunga the shovel and he also helped Ilunga for a bit of digging. He couldn’t help Ilunga much because he has a limited
