Considered by many to be America's finest author,Jack London,whose name was John Griffith Chaney,was born in San Fran?cisco,California,on January 12,1876. Much of his youth was spent in Oakland,California.
Jack had little formal schooling. At first,he attended school only through the Sth grade,although he desired to read,educating himself at public libraries,especial?ly the Oakland Public Library. In later years ( mid-1890s) ，Jack returned to high school in Oakland and graduated. He was eventually admitted to University of Cali?fornia,Berkeley,but stayed only for six months,finding it to be "not alive enough".
Jack's life experiences included being a labourer,factory worker,oyster pirate on the San Francisco Bay,member of the California Fish Patrol,sailor,railroad ho?bo,and gold miner. In his teens,he joined Coxey's Army in its famous march on WashingtonD. C. , and was later arrested for vagrancy (流浪罪) in Erie County,New York. As a journalist,Jack covered the Russo-Japanese War for the Hearst newspapers in 1904,and in 1914,he covered the Mexican Revolution for Collier's.
It was during his crosscountry travels that he came to know about socialism. He became known as the "Boy Socialist of Oakland" because of his passionate (充满热情的) street corner speeches. In fact,he unsuccessfully ran for mayor of Oak?land several times as the socialist party candidate.
In 1900,Jack married his maths tutor and friend,Bessie Maddern. It was a Vic?torian marriage typical of the time,based on "good breeding", not love. With Bess,he had two daughters—Joan and Becky. Following his separation from Bess three years later,he married his secretary,Charmian Kittredge,whom he considered his "Mate Woman" and with whom he found true love. Together,they played,travelled,wrote and enjoyed life. Their one child,Joy,only lived for thirtyeight hours. In 1907,with Charmian,Jack sailed the Pacific to the South Seas in the Snark,which became the basis for his book,The Cruise of the Snark,

The singer,Mick J agger,of The Rolling Stones sings a song that tells people they can't always get what they want but if they try some?times they can get what they need. For the past years in my life my par?ents have told me this saying many times. I've always complained about the quote (引语) ,although over time I have told myself to learn from it.
This year my girlfriend flew off to college in West Palm Beach,Florida. That has been a killer for me because I haven't been able to see her and she is having a rough time in school.The last two months have been hard but we are working through it. I have been trying to get my dad to buy me a plane ticket to go there. My dad tolcl me if I brought him some money he would help me pay for the ticket. I started to complain to him because I had no way of getting any money to give him. I spent several days and nights thinking of ways to earn money to go to see my girl?friend. I finally came to the conclusion that I would get a job and work hard to earn some money to give to my dad. I applied to Safeway and I ended up getting the job.
I have been working at Safeway for about a month now and I work hard to earn money to go to see my girlfriend. The other day my mum had surprised me and told me that she asked her boss if she could use their business miles to buy me a ticket down to Florida for two weeks,I was very thankful and told her I would help pay for anything that I had to. The thought of my working hard and getting a job showed my mum that I really cared and was trying my best to be a successful per?son. I believe that you can't always get what you want but if you try sometimes you can get what you need.
