hand are so twisted that he can’t tie his shoes. His mother’s challenges and the voices of those who believed him stupid, incapable of living independently keep him going on.
2． He is a door-to-door salesman. His weapons are: dark slacks, blue
shirt and matching jacket, brown tie, tan raincoat, hat and a briefcase.

in that cerebral palsy affected his speech, hands and walk. 4． First a school for the disabled and then Lincoln High School, where

representative, as well as by his own persistence.

to ring the first doorbell.

to worry if hid day has not turned out to be profitable.
10． Because he was laid up for five months after band surgery and
couldn’t work.
11． Like a home of the past era. He leads a solitary life. 12． No, he doesn’t. Because he lives a life of dignity.

6. Tom was born a cripple, with one of his lower limbs useless. Early in his childhood, he learned that unless he so exerted himself as to rise above his limitations, he could not earn a living, and unless he succeeded in making a living on his own, he could not win/gain the respect of others. That was the price he had to pay for his dignity as a human being.
Tom applied for numerous jobs, only to be turned down, before he finally got one as a delivery boy for a Pizza Hut. He then worked as a sales representative for a sportswear company in a territory no one else would want. Today he owns a fairly profitable retail shop in his hometown, and hires several people to work for him.
