Read the book "treasure island" over the weekend, let me have deep feeling.

"Treasure island" is a story of treasure. One is called the pirate captain flint bought 700000 pounds worth of treasure in the treasure island, the protagonist of the story Jim accidentally got a treasure map, and some people treasure together. Treasure hunters and pirates launched a life and death struggle, finally, treasure hunters finally found the treasure.

I like the story of Jim, he is smart and brave, for example, after they got on the treasure island, and pirates, one day, Jim out of their camps, in the evening, he walked into the camp of the pirates, pirates leader didnt kill him, because love Jim wanted him to join the pirates, but he keep up, determined not to join the pirates. He that let me admire very much. Also, when sailing captured by pirates, Jim and the ships anchor partition, let the boat with the wind rocking, the pirates to stun, the pirates were shaking all night, and drank the wine, ships were robbed Jim come back the next day.

In the book, and Im impressed with a person, he is silver. Silver looks graceful on the surface, like a gentleman, but hes murderous pirate leader. In the ship as a cook, he, usually, people on board the ship like a family, but, in his convened a bunch of pirates, to treasure island, but decide to deny, and Jim they played out.

Everywhere in our life, but also has a "hypocrite", such as silver we should see through their camouflage, dont be fooled disguise.

周末读了《金银岛》这本书,让我深有感悟。

《金银岛》讲的是一个关于寻宝的故事。一个叫弗林特的海盗船长在金银岛上买了价值70万英镑的宝藏,故事的主人公吉姆偶然得到了一个藏宝图,和一些人一起寻宝。寻宝者和海盗展开了一场生死搏斗,最后,寻宝者终于找到了宝藏。

我最喜欢故事中的吉姆,他聪明机智而且很勇敢,比如说,在他们登上金银岛后,和海盗交战,有一天,吉姆出了他们的营地,到晚上,他却闯入了海盗的营地,海盗头子因为很喜欢吉姆所以没有杀他,想让他加入海盗,他却临危不乱,坚决不加入海盗。他的这一点让我非常敬佩。还有,当帆船被海盗占领,吉姆又把船的锚索隔断,让船随风摇晃,把海盗晃晕,海盗们被晃了一夜,加上喝了酒,第二天船就被吉姆抢了回来。

在书中,还有一个人让我印象深刻,他就是西尔弗。西尔弗表面上看起来举止文雅,像一个绅士,但是,他却是杀人不眨眼的海盗头子。他在船上担任厨师,平时对船上的人就像是亲人一样,但是,在他召集了一帮海盗,到岛上寻宝时,却翻脸不认人,和吉姆他们打的你死我活。

在我们的生活中,也处处有着像西尔弗这样的“伪君子”,我们要识破他们的伪装,不被伪装所蒙骗。

"Ordinary world" is a good book, because hes characters and the plot is very real. Straight lets a person as if place oneself in that era, experiencing the ups and downs of The Times. Let a person very inspired after see, delicious. In simple language and true feelings to witness the faith and of the ordinary life of ordinary life. Blundering s, ignoranting society like a cup of clear water scaling back despite the clarification, but not calm. Lu yaos characters are so personality is distinct, little, little flat in the books, and others are a symbol of that era will be affected by the limitations of The Times, but also is therefore is real close, lifelike.

First of all, I am very fond of lu yaos starting point: ordinary world. His world is ordinary, this is just on the loess plateaus thousands of villages in a. , small author characterizes each ordinary ordinary people life journey, foil the era of rapid change, reflect peoples thought, give a person with close, give a person with enlightenment. But lu yao is his character in the ordinary extraordinary. Such as sun shaoping, I think that the character of sun shaoping is the backbone of the text as a whole, through his growth and mature experience, show in front of everyone is a generation that time a vision of life and helpless. He received a high school education, through self-study degree can be thought to explore with college students. Overcome difficulties, to get rid of the bondage, let people yearning for a better life, how to experience life in the middle of the family love, friendship, love, learn to life, know how to cherish, for our generation, is also a warning. In lu yaos world are ordinary people, it is in these ordinary people he describes the human nature of good and beauty, ugliness and evil. In his world, one of the biggest advantages is to realize oneself is ordinary. This is the most prominent from sun shaoping. He realized the ordinary, also chose the ordinary.

Ordinary life, from the ordinary to thrive, you can see, is suffering the confidence, cant take away the hope, love never fails, bitterness, in the ordinary and the pride of this life.

平凡世界》之所以是一本好书,因为他的人物以及情节都刻画的很真实。直让人仿佛置身于那个时代,体验着那个时代的风风雨雨。看后让人很受启发,回味无穷。是以朴实的语言与真实的感受来见证平凡生活中的平凡的信仰与人生。浮躁的年代,浑噩的社会像一杯沉垢的清水尽管澄清,但不平静。路遥笔下的人物却是那么个性鲜明,书中的少安、少平,还有其他人都是那个时代的象征也必受时代的局限,但也正因此才真实亲近,栩栩如生。

首先,我很喜欢路遥的出发点:平凡的世界。他的世界是平凡的,这只是黄土高原上几千几万座村落中的一座。从小处着眼,作者刻画出一个个普通人物平凡的人生旅程,衬托日新月异的时代变迁,反映人们的思想,给人以亲近,给人以启迪。但路遥却在平凡中看到了他的主人公的不平凡。比如说孙少平,我认为孙少平这个人物是全篇文字的主线,通过他的成长和成熟的经历,展现给大家面前的是那个时代整整一代人对生活的憧憬与无奈。他受过了高中教育,他经过自学达到可与大学生进行思想探讨的程度。战胜困难,摆脱束缚,让人们对美好生活的向往,如何的体会生活中间的亲情、友情、爱情,学会生活,懂得珍惜,对于我们这一代人,也是一种警醒。在路遥的世界中出现的都是平凡的人物,正是在这些平凡的人物里他描写着人性中的善与美,丑与恶。在他的世界里,人的最大的优点就是认识到自己是平凡的。这点从孙少平身上得到最突出的体现。他认识到了平凡,也选择了平凡。

平凡的人生,从平凡中而来地繁衍生息,你能看到的,就是苦难中的信心,不能夺走的盼望,永不止息的爱,平凡中的苦涩,以及今生的骄傲。

Recently, I have read the famous novel “Gone with The Wind” by Margaret Mitchell. Each character in this book gave me a great impression.

At beginning of the book, I think Scarlet was a beautiful, lucky woman. So many young men were in love with her and they always stayed around her. But in fact ,Scarlet was not the lucky woman I thought . She was fell in love with Ashley Wilkes, but the man was not like the other boys around her. when then news came that Ashley would be married with Melanie ,she felt surprised and even couldn’t accept the fact. With the psychology of revenging Ashley, Scarlett married to Melanie’s brother before the day of Ashley’wedding.

Soon after the war broke out , many young man died ,including Scarlett’s husband. Scarlett became a widow. She couldn’t stand the boring life, so when Melanie invited her to the home of Charles’s aunt. Without more consideration ,Scarlett left for Atlanta.

One time hospital hold a party to collect contributions. Then at the party ,she met Rhett buther, the man who loves her at first sight. Although Scarlett didn’t show any good feeling to him, Rhett buther always companied her and made her happy. For several reasons, she married again,but Rhett still loved her. When her second husband died, he asked Scarlett married him. Because he believed that he understoodher and he can bring her happy. After several month ,they got married. Their life became better and happier. Later they had a litte daughter, Bonnie. Rhett loved his lovely daughter just like the way he loved Scarlett. But Scarlett still loved Ashley. Unfortunitily, Bonnie died when she rided the horse. Rhett was hurt so badly that he couldn’t stand living with Scarlett,and he decided to leave. At this time she realised that the man she really loved was Rhett, not Ashley. She tried hard to persuard Rhett not to leave her. He left .I think it was a pity, but it doomed. Although Rhett love her so much ,he could do everything to make her happy, but she never opened her heart to him and tried to understand him.

Although Scarlett’s love was end up with tragedy. But from her attitude for life,we could know that she was a strong woman.she never gave up facing endless difficulties.when the war was terrible, everything was in confusion ,Scarlett had to take Melanie left back to home, the Tara Plantation. Hopefully she wanted her parent’s help. But to her surprise, her mum had died and her father was out of normal. Situation have became more difficult. While Melanie was going to give birth to a baby. Scarlet made her mind on taking on the task. In order to keep living ,Scarlett even went to work on farm ,she planted cotton. Melanie was in poor health, but she still went to help Scarlett to do farm work. She believed Scalett and gave her unselfish love. With Menlanie’s love,Scarlett supported her home,but at this time ,she still didn’t realize how important Melanie for her. In order to solve the problem of the Tara plantation,she married to Frank. In order to make a living she also did business which was unbelievable for women in this time. She struggled with countless difficulties, but she never gave up. She still believed “Tomorrow is a new day”。

Another girl that I loved in this book is Melanie,she was very kind and gentle. She never doubted the relationship between Scarlett and Ashley, she always standed in the side of Scarlett. Although Scarlett hated her and even wanted her to die. She still believed Scalett and treated Scarlett as her best friend. Melanie loved her husband ,when her husband was fighting in the war, she always waited for him. She didn’t have the strength to give birth, but she still wanted to have a baby for Ashley, finally, she died.

These three main characters in the book are all very obvious, but different. They gave me a impression. Scarlett was a plain girl, but what she did was not plain. She didn’t stay silent during the war, she changed her own life by strugling. In fact, many people lost what they have like Scarlett,but they all gave up to strive for the happiness that essentially belonged to them. Scarlett have the braveness to change the situation. But the pity was that she didn’t recognize the real love belong her in time. If she could got deep understanding of Ashley, she may not love him. If she could open her heart to Rhett and understand him, she may realized her love to Rhett. Sometimes I couldn’t help thinking that why the author can write this moved story. Maybe she have the similar experiences.

On the whole, this is a wonderful book, I feel very grateful that I can read it. I could get many benefits from it.

《山丘上的约会》这个故事中最奇妙的部分,在于两们“笔友”彼此间从未见过面,单单只靠书信文字所产生的美好想象来塑造彼此的形象,而且在无形中不断地增强彼此的美好印象。相信很多人都有这样的经验:只听到某人或某篇文章的形容,就对没见过的人、事、物产生好奇,进而想象,总是越想越美好。

《山丘上的约会》故事最精彩的部分在于两个素未谋面的人终于决定要见面了,让人紧张心跳的也正是这一刻,两人都从对方最高的期望出发,结局如何呢?作者采用了卡通化的造型,夸张地强化了故事中两个主角的差异,不论在身高或体态上都不同。很戏剧化的是,正当玲玲抬头猛往高处寻找将会从天而降的偶像时,男主角瓜瓜也正奋力地跳上山丘去赴约呢!作者运用书本竖立时的直式版面,营造出男女主角见面时的“震憾”画面,令人拍案叫绝!故事中的主角虽然都是田墅里常见的动物,但两者的外形、习性截然不同,所以见面的过程充满了曲折、趣味。孩子在阅读时因为是旁观者,一定会觉得他们好笑,从而在轻松的气氛中理解故事的发展进程。

哇!会面的结果真是令人有些失望,书信中的印象明明不是这样的埃当满怀期盼,终于可以一睹真面目时,才发现事实和想象差了一大截。这是一个有趣又常会发生的事情。其实呢,“人生不如意事十常八九”,生活中经常会有许多的遗憾和委屈。正因为如此我们常常很努力地去避免这样的事情发生,让一切都如意顺心。结果期望越高往往失望越大,以至迷失了对事物本质的认识,我们就越来越不快乐了。试问朋友的真正意义是什么?不就是无邪的友谊分享吗,至于表面的东西也就不值得计较了。

因为人生很少能够真正地心想事成,所以我们会寄望于故事最后的美好结局,至少希望它是正面的、光明的。笔者很欣赏本书的结局。当玲玲和瓜瓜确信彼此的真正友谊存在时,决定继续山丘上的约会,再为彼此美好的友谊努力下去。真好,友谊可以不用猜疑和负担,只要彼此接纳和分享,或许这正是现代人该好好想想的课题。

Even in all his life in the pursuit of happiness. Though he but humble origins to education and by good with outstanding wisdom so his future in the so-called these parisians of society.

In their mind happiness and no exact standard just in his deceit in his vigilance his another "battle plan" in its implementation.

Several years ago,from joyo,I bought the book "the kite runner" which ranked first on best sellers volume.First reading the book,I was totally moved and even cried for the sad story.This year,I knew it has been adapted into a movie.After seeing the movie,I read again this book and gained some new views.

The novel begins a story about two boys.Amir is born in a rich family.Hassan is his servant as well as close friend.They both lose mother from birth and grow up like brothers.Hassan is very loyal to Amiar,but Amiar sells him.Many years later,Amir has settled down in America for years and established a family,but Hassan died for protecting Amirs luxury house in Afghanistan and leave an orphan.Accidentally,Amir gets to know a big secret and decides to atone for his crime that hound around him from childhood.

Reading it again,most of my original views has changed.

At the first place,I have a feeling of being cheated by the writer.The novel first attracted me before because it set its plot in a special environment---Afghanistan which even I often got news about from TV and newspaper,I knew the country utterly ignorant except wars and terrorism.So I wanted to understand more about the calamitous country.However,I am disappointed by the novel which just use a special background environment to tell a so-called travel of human nature .The theme of the novel should be atonement if it was taken off flowery coat.Bad gay like Amir and and good gay like Hassan,adding some the present best sellers polular elements like bastard,forming the main contents. In fact,the kite runner impressed me deeply and it just depends on sensational words.Besides,what makes me most dislike is that the writer,an Afghan-American,contorted some political elements for American advantages.The history background only make the affair of Russia invading and Taliban dictators go into particulars,but not mention Americas ignominious role in this politics.Why Taliban dictators are so unruly?Why Russia invaded Afghanistan in 1979?Why Afghan people still live in poor condition nowadays?America,a main actor is disposed of in this novel.

At the second place,the characters all serve to a tacky theme-atonement and birth secrects.When the birth secrects are exposed,the atonement travel begins.When the atonement finishes,the story finishes.

I even feel I am wrapped around the American medias little finger.Many celebrities and book concerns writed good comments,which helped it ranke first on sales volume for several times and made readers think it must get widely praised and then bought it without doubt finally.

Though I think the disadvantages are more than advatages,compared with the back atonement part,I like the front part that describes the pure friendship and innocent childhood between two boys.The description about the culture of kite in Afghanistan is excellent.

As a first book of the writer,it is resonable that the novel has some deficiencies.I hope his next and next works can more and more perfect.

有这样一个人,他是一个医生,但对航海冒险十分痴迷,虽然每次都差点丧生,却丝毫不减热情,他在一个个奇怪的岛上度过一段段难忘的时光,他是谁呢?对了,就是格列佛。

格列佛先后去过四个与世隔绝的小岛——小人国、巨人国、飞岛国和慧马国。在小人国里,最初,国王就像对待孩子一样对待格列佛。可是后来因为一条荒唐的理由,导致这个大国分裂成两个战火不断的小国。一国认为已款待了格列佛许多日子,就让他去攻打另外一个国家,格列佛没有答应,于是国王对他冷若冰霜。还有一次皇宫里起了火,格列佛匆匆赶来,忽然灵机一动用尿浇灭了火。本来立了大功,可国王听信馋言,认为是侮辱了他,还想毒死格列佛,幸亏一个大臣告诉了他才避免了灾难。

在巨人国里,情况可比小人国要糟得多。因为他们都认为格列佛不是真正的人,而是一种类似人的机器人,所以不把格列佛当回事,因为小巧,每天都要去街上表演节目赚钱。格列佛不能忍受这种奴隶的生活,便趁主人不注意逃走了。

在格列佛所有航海经历中最有趣的莫过于在飞岛国了。在那里有许多异想天开的人。有人说,能从黄瓜里提取阳光,但他从未成功过。还有一个建筑师想要从上到下建房子,还面红耳赤地争辩说许多昆虫就是这样造房子的。在飞岛国的另一边是巫人国,里面的人生下来就有魔法,那些花花草草看起来很普通,实际上却蕴含着巨大的力量。

格列佛在冒险途中,用智慧和勇气战胜了一个又一个困难。在今后的学习中,我们也要像他一样奋力拼搏,勇往直前。

The first impression that the boy Tom gave me was a naughty, mischievous boy, just as what Aunt Polly said. He never lacked the curiosity to explore new places, sometimes even risking his life, which I did not dare to! There were some great adventures of him with Huck or Joe. Huck was an orphan, and Joe was Tom’s classmate. Everybody in the small village knew Tom, mainly for Tom’s—you know kind of gallantry!

I should tell you the adventures. The origin of the attempt was that Tom and Huck was getting curious to the world of outside, and they made an effort to run-away. However, when they were in the graveyard, some people appeared. They were Injun Joe, Huck’s father, named Potter, and a doctor. Tom and Huck quickly hid behind the bush, and they saw them digging the coffins out, probably finding something valuable. They did not realize that what they witnessed was a murder! Tom and Huck were extremely afraid, and they ran away rapidly. On the court, Potter was being accused of the murderer; however, Tom declared that it was Injun Joe who used Potter’s knife to kill the young doctor. On hearing this, Injun Joe broke the glass and ran away! This scared everybody, and Tom’s brother, Sid, said that he always heard Tom mumbling something when he was asleep, and sometimes even shouting. Indeed, the accident was fluttering everybody in the town with fear.

Before, Tom once fell in love with a girl called Lawrence. And he showed off in front of the girl, trying to win the girl’s heart, but Lawrence ignored Tom’s appearance, and it made Tom sad. At present, Tom went for another girl for Becky. Yet, when Becky knew that Tom once loved Lawrence (it was probably childish thoughts), she refused Tom. Tom got so depressed that he resolutely committed the second escape.

He made contact with Huck and Joe that afternoon, about where to meet, the code words of meeting, and the route, and so on and so forth. Each of them brought some food, and Huck brought some pipes (remind that Huck had no real home, and I had no ideas where he got the things). At midnight, they met at the place, and they took a raft down the river. After drifting for about several hours, they finally reached the destiny. There they lived for about several weeks, and while everybody thought they were drowned, they had a great time. They were no problems of food or water shortages. They promised to be a pirate, and would live there forever.

If you were out from your relatives for a long time, wouldn’t you miss home? It was the same for those children. After several weeks, Joe felt that he missed home very much, and Tom could not seem to stop him. On this, Tom brought Joe and Huck his secret—

On one night, when the rest of the boys fell asleep (of course they slept outside), Tom crept from the camp, and headed toward the town. He sneaked to his aunt’s room, and hid under the bed, while everybody- Mary (Tom’s sister), Sid, Aunt Polly and Joe Harper’s mother were having a meeting. There were a lot of tears, about how the boys were killed, and how they would treat the boys if they ever lived again, such things. Tom almost wanted to get out of the bed and hug Aunt Polly, but he couldn’t. At last, everybody went to sleep. Tom went out from the bed, and flew to the camp. That was the secret— that the boys will go to their own funeral!

While the boys were outside, all of the people in the town were discussing about the accidents. The town was immediately covered with a sense of doom. So the funeral was raised. Everybody wore a black suit, and they prayed something along with the priest. Just then, they saw somebody entering the gate, and what they saw was unbelievable. Three young souls came out from their coffins and showed up in front of everybody! The change of the atmosphere was imaginable. Aunt Polly, Joe Harper’s mother, Mary and Sid were astounded to find that Tom came so vivid in front of them, and so Tom and Joe became a hero in the school, even in the town.

The real adventures of Tom were finding the treasures. However, I felt that I had no energy to write more…

rale, let person collapse, loss of hope in life. If failure can not beat you, but you stepped on the foot, then success will surely belong to you.

Famous writer Ernest Hemingway in "the old man and the sea" to shape of the old man is a failure and dare to fight the case.

The old man and the sea is mainly about a man named diego old fisherman fishing through a special. In did not hit a fish for eighty-four days, but in the second day, he was very lucky to had caught a big marlin. The marlin is his life caught the biggest fish, the fish is longer than his boat to 2 feet! Marlin body big, strength is big. It pulled the old man and the boat drifted at sea for two days and two nights. Old man experience in these two days and two nights (a) has never experienced a tough test.

A bumpy road has many twists and turns in life, failure is often encountered, we should always have a heart to strong and not to yield to face failure, success will be coming to us.

失败,在许多人的眼中是非常可怕的,它一旦猖狂起来,就能击溃人的斗志,让人彻底崩溃,失去生活的希望。如果失败战胜不了你,而是被你踩在脚下,那么,成功必定属于你。

著名作家海明威在《老人与海》中塑造的那位老人就是一个敢与失败作斗争的例子。

《老人与海》主要讲了一位名叫桑地亚哥的老渔翁一次特别的打鱼经过。在连续八十四天没有打到一条鱼后,但在第二天,他非常幸运地捕获到了一条巨大的大马林鱼。那条马林鱼是他平生捕到的最大的一条鱼,那条鱼比他的小船还要长2英尺呢!马林鱼的身体大,力气自然也大。它拖着老人和小船在海上漂流了两天两夜。老人在这两天两夜中经历(了)从来没有经历过的艰难考验。大马林鱼在大海上奋力挣扎,企图逃回大海。老人为了制服马林鱼,精疲力竭,皮开肉绽,但他并没有向大马林鱼屈服。他凭着顽强的意志,终于把大马林鱼扎死,拴在了船头。然而,幸运并没有出现,等待老人的是更大的考验。一群嗅着血腥味而来的大鲨鱼与已经皮开肉绽的老人展开了殊死博斗。最后老人的命虽然保住了,但鲨鱼们吃光了大马林鱼,老人拖回去的最终是一副光秃秃的骨架……

人生的道路是曲折坎坷的,遇到失败是再平常不过的事,我们应该时时刻刻拥有一颗坚强、不屈服的心来面对失败,成功就一定会向我们走来。

How can such a little boy who had already suffered oppressive affliction remain pure in body and mind? The reason is the nature of goodness. I think it is the most important information implied in the novel by Dickens-he believed that goodnecould conquer every difficulty. Although I don’t think goodneis omnipotent yet I do believe that those who are kind-hearted live more happily than those who are evil-minded.

For me the nature of goodneis one of the most necessary character for a person. Goodneis to humans what water is to fish. He who is without goodneis an utterly worthleperson. On the contrary as the famous saying goes ‘The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose’ he who is with goodneundoubtedly is a happy and useful person. People receiving his help are grateful to him and he also gets gratified from what he has done and thus he can do good to both the people he has helped and himself.

To my disappointment nowadays some people seem to doubt the existence of the goodnein humanity. They look down on people’s honesty and kindness thinking it foolish of people to be warm-hearted. As a result they show no sympathy to those who are in trouble and seldom offer to help others. On the other hand they attach importance to money and benefit. In their opinion money is the only real object while emotions and morality are nihility. If they cannot get profit from showing their ‘kindness’ they draw back when others are faced with trouble and even hit a man when he is down. They are one of the sorts that I really detest.

Francis Bacon said in his essay ‘Goodness of all virtues and dignities of the mind is the greatest being the character of the Deity and without it man is a busy mischievous wretched thing no better than a kind of vermin.’

The pilgrim"s progress can be said to be a very famous and very influential book in the Christian literature and a lot of people have read it. Actually when I first read the pilgrim"s progress I am not interested in it,even feel boring, and the result is I want to give up halfway. Why,because I don"t have experience of the Christian in this book. He encountered many difficulties, but I have not experienced, so I am not interested in it when I readied it.

As time goes by I read it more and more, and I began to feel deeply the process of Christian struggling against difficulties. Then I find all sorts of experience of protagonist Christian is the mirror of most of ordinary people.

The difficulties he met,also is that we met. His failure was also that we had been through. And each time he regained faith, which also brought us a great joy and hope, because we also are the people who have pursuit and ideal.

From the knowledge level to see,The pilgrim"s progress is the most vitality predictions. This work is to write a virtual world, but it is the reality of the world in essence. This can make us more aware of the complexity behind the real world.

This work mainly displayed that human losing himself needed redemption, and only can be saved through confessing their iniquity and believing God. All kinds of people Christian meet on the road are the people banyan met in any market, or any other streets in that era of Britain. This is the reason that novel have b vitality.

Reading this book, what make me feel touched and shock is that Christian faithfully began his difficult lonely journey for the beliefs in his heart. All the way he went through despair mire, humiliation valley, the valley of the shadow of death, vanity fair, doubt fort, and all the way he defended entanglement of atheist, ignorance, Mr. Smart, Mr. Apple, Mr. Love money and so on,and finally came to the kingdom of heaven to pay a formal visit god.

Did you ever have the experience like Christian being overcome by difficulties?

Did you ever same to feel very sad, and even discouraged?

Let Christian’ s words remind us once again:

My enemies!

Do not rejoice over me,when I fall, I will rise up, I sit in darkness, and Jehovah will be a light unto me.

Although we are not Christian, we can get a lot of valuable spiritual wealth from the Christian. In order to the paradise of the heart, he insisted on their beliefs, had indomitable sprint,did not be afraid of all kinds of difficulties and hardships, and ultimately achieved himself ideal. In the process toward the pilgrim, the Christian experienced all kinds of hardships and temptation, but the power of the divine in his heart drove him constantly.

This is the power of faith. At each stage of the novel Christian has experienced many tests, frustrated. At the same time, he also got edification, friendship, understanding and joy. This is life"s most precious wealth. Only unswerving firmly believe that their beliefs, oneself will have the possibility of success. Give up is not successful. In the fiction, soft wanted to follow the Christian went to the kingdom of heaven, but while he encountered difficulty he hesitated and turned back. stubborn is so sure for everything,and he adhered others to accept his point of view, even he think himself he did not need the help of others, also did not need any guidance. Succinct forthright language of Christian shows that he was a man of determination and perseverance.

Only such as Christian, it will be possible to achieve their ideal. But, no one else will meet with difficulties. For example, in the valley of the shadow of death the heart of Christian appeared straggliest and hesitation. Christian had not set out on a journey yet and he was laughed at the family and the neighbor"s taunt.He met despair mire when he left not a long time. This kind of trouble continued until he reached the kingdom of heaven.

The way of going the kingdom of ideal heaven is not only bright and sunny, but also has the dark clouds. I think we can get some enlightenment from the book to solve problems we are facing today. Christian started the journey to the kingdom of heaven. We saw him on the way to heaven, and in every step he was faced with choice weather continue or not. It also makes us associate that we are always faced with the same choice like Christian in our current life journey.

The description is enough to tell everyone: faith is not a simple matter. Faith is not diversion,Even more is not a easy way of recreation In our time. everyone ,who has the ideal and faith,is the need to pay the price. A belief is not allowed to be satisfied with a smattering of knowledge. Beliefs demand people must devote your whole heart to the life of the whole to embrace that beautiful flame.

导语:《傲慢与偏见》以日常生活为素材,一反当时社会上流行的感伤小说的内容和矫揉造作的写作方法,下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的英语读后感,欢迎阅读与借鉴,谢谢!

Austins "pride and prejudice", as she puts it, is thin on two inches of ivory carving, it is the masterpiece of Austin. Reflect the marriage problems of novel is a, the author works in the most is her favorite works.

Works of vivid reflects the late 18th century to the early 19th century in a conservative and occlusion of the British town life and the world. Its social graffiti like novels not only attract the readers at that time, solid to today, still give the reader a unique artistic enjoyment. She was the first to realistically portray ordinary grace novelist in daily ordinary life, plays an essential role in English novel.

The whole works, not least no winding ups and downs of the plot, but it is this simple, delicate and attracted us deeply. Austin, short life is spent in the country, almost all around may be simple, halcyon atmosphere nurtured her cool temperament. Not because there is no abundant experience, for the analysis of things for her ability to doubt.

People read the book pride and prejudice "will be fine for her, keen emotion. When writing "pride and prejudice", she is just a teenage girl, isnt this a gift? She does very little contact with the outside world, but thought, imagination, the existence of all this is enough.

【参考译文】

奥斯汀的《傲慢与偏见》,正如她自己所说,是在两寸象牙上细细的雕刻,它是奥斯汀的代表作。这部反映婚姻问题的小说是作者作品中最受的一部,也是她本人最喜欢的作品。

作品生动的反映了18世纪末到19世纪初处于保守和闭塞状态下的英国乡镇生活和世态人情。其社会风情画似的小说不仅在当时吸引着广大的读者,实至今日,仍给读者以独特的艺术享受。她是第一个现实地描绘日常平凡生活中平凡恩的小说家,在英国小说史上起了承上启下的作用。

整部作品没有滂沱的气势,没有曲折跌宕的情节,但就是这种简单,精致深深地吸引着我们。奥斯汀短暂的一生几乎都是在英国的乡间度过的,也许就是周围朴素,宁静的氛围孕育了她淡然的气质。并不能因为没有丰富的经历,就对她的对于事物的分析能力有所怀疑。

读过《傲慢与偏见》的人一定会为她细腻,敏锐的情感所折服。在写《傲慢与偏见》时,她只是一个十几岁的女孩,难道这不是一种天赋么?她的确很少接触外界,但思想存在,想象存在,这一切的存在就足够。

After several days of effort, I finished watching "Don Quixote" this book. It is the representative work of Spanish writer Cervantes, full name for the strange feeling different think gentleman Don Quixote, Taiwan, la has ", a total of two rolls up and down. Novel wrote, aged more than 50 of the country gentlemen Don Quixote, crazy for love knight novel, the story of the average computer-virus. Authors nonsense from the knight novel Don Quixote knight contents and real life mixed with each other, thus resulting in a series of absurd behavior a belly laugh. Him as a giant, the windmill war with it, though in a career on the way, he was cut down one ear, out many teeth, have also been interrupted several ribs, is often war often hurt, but wrong-headed, do not know to repentance. Through this absurd behavior, can feel the authors praise of the aspirations of the ideal society and noble moral.

Social climate is becoming worse now, many young because of not good reading, do the small theft etc. Bad deeds. And others fell on the chair a mobile phone, the humanistic saw should be returned to their rightful owners, or call 110, but conscience never compete greed, directly turned around mobile phones, sneaked away again. Also, bank card switch events, when you do not pay attention to, blocking the card with the hand, immediately to use only one or two seconds, was successful. Social ethos is not to force, it can be very awesome, the monitor and police everywhere now are bad "mousetrap", tight dragnet, grasp not only thing in the morning and evening. Like drunk driving, or some loophole, finally revoked certificates not only, also sit in the classroom. Gods mill grinds slow but sure, now do bad things, you will regret.

Don Quixote limbs developed, simple, and finally the proper price, reading a book not too obsessed, or you will average computer-virus, control yourself, we dont like.

经过几天的努力,我看完了《堂吉诃德》这本书。它是西班牙作家塞万提斯的代表作,全名为《奇情异想的绅士堂吉诃德·台·拉·曼却》,共上下两卷。小说写了一位年逾五旬的乡下绅士堂吉诃德,因酷爱读骑士小说而陷入疯狂,走火入魔的故事。作者笔下的堂吉诃德骑士将骑士小说中的无稽内容与现实生活互相混交,因此从而产生一连串令人捧腹大笑的荒唐行为。他一下把风车当做巨人,与它大战,虽然在骑士生涯的途中,他被砍了一只耳朵,打掉了许多牙齿,也被打断了几根肋骨,虽屡战屡败,却执迷不悟,不知悔改。透过这种荒唐的行为,可以感受到作者对理想社会的热望和高尚道德的赞美。

现在社会风气越来越差,许多少年因不好好读书,很小就干上了偷窃等恶劣的勾当。还有,别人在椅子上落了一个手机,看见的人本应该还给失主,或拨打110,可良心终究敌不过贪婪,直接一转身将手机收入囊中,再溜之大吉。还有,银行卡调包事件,在你不注意时,立刻用手挡住卡,再只用一两秒的时间,就成功了。社会的风气不给力,可监控与民警很给力,现在到处都是坏人的“老鼠夹”,天罗地网,抓不抓只是早晚的事。像酒驾,还是有人乘机钻空子,最后不仅吊销了证件,还坐上了班房。天网恢恢,疏而不漏,现在做坏事,你一定就会后悔。

堂吉诃德四肢发达,头脑简单,最后付出了应有的代价,看书不能太沉迷了,否则就会走火入魔,控制不住自己,我们千万不能这样。

篇20:呼啸山庄英语读后感

全文共 3153 字

Published in 1847, WUTHERING HEIGHTS was not well received by the reading public, many of whom condemned it as sordid, vulgar, and unnatural--and author Emily Bronte went to her grave in 1848 believing that her only novel was a failure. It was not until 1850, when WUTHERING HEIGHTS received a second printing with an introduction by Emilys sister Charlotte, that it attracted a wide readership. And from that point the reputation of the book has never looked back. Today it is widely recognized as one of the great novels of English literature.

Even so, WUTHERING HEIGHTS continues to divide readers. It is not a pretty love story; rather, it is swirling tale of largely unlikeable people caught up in obsessive love that turns to dark madness. It is cruel, violent, dark and brooding, and many people find it extremely unpleasant. And yet--it possesses a grandeur of language and design, a sense of tremendous pity and great loss that sets it apart from virtually every other novel written.

The novel is told in the form of an extended flashback. After a visit to his strange landlord, a newcomer to the area desires to know the history of the family--which he receives from Nelly Deans, a servant who introduces us to the Earnshaw family who once resided in the house known as Wuthering Heights. It was once a cheerful place, but Old Earnshaw adopted a "Gipsy" child who he named Heathcliff. And Catherine, daughter of the house, found in him the perfect companion: wild, rude, and as proud and cruel as she. But although Catherine loves him, even recognizes him as her soulmate, she cannot lower herself to marry so far below her social station. She instead marries another, and in so doing sets in motion an obsession that will destroy them all.

WUTHERING HEIGHTS is a bit difficult to "get into;" the opening chapters are so dark in their portrait of the end result of this obsessive love that they are somewhat off-putting. But they feed into the flow of the work in a remarkable way, setting the stage for one of the most remarkable structures in all of literature, a story that circles upon itself in a series of repetitions as it plays out across two generations. Catherine and Heathcliff are equally remarkable, both vicious and cruel, and yet never able to shed their impossible love no matter how brutally one may wound the other.

As the novel coils further into alcoholism, seduction, and one of the most elaborately imagined plans of revenge it gathers into a ghostly tone: Heathcliff, driven to madness by a woman who is not there but who seems reflected in every part of his world--dragging her corpse from the grave, hearing her calling to him from the moors, escalating his brutality not for the sake of brutality but so that her memory will never fade, so that she may never leave his mind until death itself. Yes, this is madness, insanity, and there is no peace this side of the grave or even beyond.

It is a stunning novel, frightening, inexorable, unsettling, filled with unbridled passion that makes one cringe. Even if you do not like it, you should read it at least once--and those who do like it will return to it again and again.
