A Tale of Two Cities is one of Dickens’s masterpieces; the story is an exposure of the contradiction before France Revolution-the appealing of “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity” by France lower class.

The main clue of the novel is based on the terrible experience of Dr. Manette, the plot is very complex, attracting, and exciting. Lying at the heart of which we can see the themes from different people.

Sydney Carton

When I read the chapter pertaining to interrogation on Charles Darney, intuition tells that the lawyer assistant who feels at ease with his eyes fixed on the ceiling must be a very special man, which turned out to be right when I finished the whole book. He seems indifferent about everything, even his love. He is brilliant but he thinks otherwise, or rather, he thinks he is inferior to others. Even his master thinks that if he worried about this or that, he would make a great success. Feeling of humbleness is the fatal point leading the loss of his beloved one. If Lucie Manette lives with him, he thinks, she would sustain much hardship. At the end of the story, he sacrifices his life for his love willingly.

Many people say that love is selfish and egocentric, but the temperament of Sydney Carton tells us that love can be sublime and pure. Through this, Dickens tells us loving someone doesn’t mean you should live together with him or her. You can help your beloved one silently, even sacrifice for love. This is universal fraternity, I think, which is the sublimation of normal love. And also, Dickens may indicate that true love really exists, regardless of the situation is full of commotion or not.

Charles Darney

He’s born at a family of royal lineage-the son of Marquis. Regret and abomination fill in his mind for the cruelty and the crime his family have done to the poor. He determines to quit the right of inheritance of his family and moves to England to acting as a French teacher. When he comes back to France, his notorious and sadistic uncle who holds the succession of the family doesn’t welcome him. His uncle is doomed to death because of his cruelty. When he returns to England, he proposes marriage to Lucie Manette. He knows his proposal may not be accepted by Dr.Manette, for he is the son of the enemy of Dr.Manette. After the France Revolution breaks out, he returns to France again to save a servant. But unfortunately, he’s cast into prison.

Lucie Manette

She goes to France with Jarvis Lorry to take her father back, she shows great sympathy to Sydney Carton, and she prayed his husband would get an early deliverance from captivity.

She is a kind-hearted lady made of love and sympathy; she is also the incarnation of elegance.

Dr.Manette

As a victim of the gloom society, he lives a miserable and contradictory life. After releasing from prison, the only thing he does is making shoes, which become worse when he comes across a harsh situation. He loves his daughter just as she does to him, even when he knows that Charles Darney is the son of his enemy, he allow the proposal. And when he notices his daughter was totally down to know the fact that her husband was put into prison, he promise to her that he will rescue him out. He spares no effects to do that, in vain, though.

From this person, Dickens may tells that love between the lower-class family members are as pure as crystal.

Jarvis Lorry

An elderly manager at Tellsons Bank and a dear friend of Dr. Manette. He is very loyal to Dr. Manette. He accompanies them all the time without considering his own life.

Couple Defarge

They’re the leader of the revolution. Ernest Defarge, to some extent, is a good man. He was the servant of Dr.Manette, he provides accommodation for him. But his wife, Madame Defarge, is really a wicked woman. She knits all the time, she wants to kill all the people who lead a richer or happier life just out of envying and revenge. The result turns out to be dramatic: she’s killed by herself as a consequence that the gun goes off by accident.

Resurrection maybe is the main theme in the novel. Dickens here implied that he doesn’t agree the upper class treat the poor badly, meanwhile, he doesn’t agree the lower-class to overthrow the upper class. He hopes that they can live in harmony with each other. Underneath the lines, Dickens wants his readers to be careful that the same sort of revolution that so damaged France wont happen in Britain, which is shown to be nearly as unjust as France. But his warning is addressed not to the British lower classes, but to the aristocracy. He repeatedly uses the metaphor of sowing and reaping; if the aristocracy continues to plant the seeds of a revolution through behaving unjustly, they can be certain of harvesting that revolution in time. The lower classes do not have any agency in this metaphor: they simply react to the behavior of the aristocracy. In this sense it can be said that while Dickens sympathizes with the poor, he identifies with the rich: they are the books audience, its "us" rather than its "them". Crush humanity out of shape once more, under similar hammers, and it will twist itself into the same tortured forms. Sow the same seed of rapacious license and oppression over again and it will surely yield the same fruit according to its kind.

"The red" the heros name is in even, her first lover is Mrs DE rainer, a second lover is miss mathilde. Theory of status, the identity of the two harmonized appearances of people was significantly higher than him. So, one of my friends is so describe "the red" to me, this is a story of men against women climb.

I dont think Yu Lianyou love, at least until the end, is never seen, the existence of love is a kind of noble, some people say that love is to protect a person, with the standards, obviously, the two affairs cannot be counted as love. Rainer lady fell in love with in the original, but to even want from Mrs DE rainer, just a kind of identity, status to improve the satisfaction and to conquer a better than they are objects of desire, and this is a period of an affair, so even if reluctantly said, at last the moment he sank in madame DE rainer of love, but because of the wrong start, so finally its hard to die well. Besides, he should because Mrs Think DE rainer damaged his and miss mathilde better future, just want to kill DE rainer, madam, it is conceivable that he just want to from beginning to end his own ambitions, not really into the love. For miss mathilde, he wanted to be with miss mathilde is completely was swept away by mathilde external initial originates from one kind of flesh, then mood, a kind of the more cant get more want to torture him. Mathilde had just put in even as a fantasy, mathilde hopes to repeat her worship of a romance, it is not love, at last she kissed in the death of the mans head, also be realize her wish.

I dont like the story of the red, only to see the truth in this story is that Mrs DE rainer for even the relationships we have, but because Mrs DE rainers identity, have never been in love, so when she hadnt really learn to analysis, fell in love with to connect. Of course, have to say, if after you fall in love with is analyzed, can be rational to treat may, it is not pure love.

To even this ambition to insist, perhaps many also struggle at the grassroots level, we not rich "relationship", part of the worth learning. But his selfishness, the excess and lost "sincere" that, absolutely is that we should abandon the part. We should learn to use the right way to realize their dreams.

红与黑》的男主人公叫于连,她的第一个情人是德莱纳夫人,第二个情人是马蒂尔德小姐。论身份地位来说,两任情人的身份都远远高于他。所以,我一个朋友是这样对我描述《红与黑》的,这就是一个男人靠着女人往上爬的故事。

我不认为于连有过爱情,至少直到结尾,也不曾见到过,爱情是一种高贵的存在,有人说,爱情是去守护一个人,用这个标准来说,显然,那两段情史都不能算作爱情。德莱纳夫人爱上了于连原本的样子,可是于连从德莱纳夫人身上想得到的只是一种身份,地位提高的满足感和征服一个比自己强的对象的征服欲,而且这是一段婚外情,所以哪怕勉强地说,最后那一刻他沉入了对德莱纳夫人的爱情,但是因为错误的开始,所以最后很难善终。况且,他竟然因为认为德莱纳夫人破坏了他和马蒂尔德小姐美好的未来,就想要杀了德莱纳夫人,可想而知,他从头到尾只想着自己的野心,并没有真正的投入到爱情中去。对于马蒂尔德小姐,他之所以想和马蒂尔德小姐在一起完全是被马蒂尔德的外在迷住了,初始来源于一种肉欲,后来一种越是得不到越想要的心情,狠狠地折磨了他。马蒂尔德只是把于连当作了一种幻想,马蒂尔德希望重复她崇拜的一段浪漫史,那也不是爱情,最后她亲吻了于连的死人头,也算是实现了她的愿望吧。

我不喜欢红与黑的故事,这个故事里唯一看到真情的就是,德莱纳夫人对于连的那份感情,可是由于德莱纳夫人的身份,还有从来没有陷入过爱情中,所以在她还没有真正的学会分析人的时候,就爱上了于连。当然,不得不说,如果分析了之后再爱上,能够被那么理智的对待的也许就不是纯真的爱情了。

于连这种对于野心的坚持,也许是不少还奋斗在基层,没有有钱人家的“关系”的我们,值得学习的一部分。但是他这种过度的自私,还有失去了“真心”这一点,绝对是我们应该摒弃的部分。我们应该学会用正确的方式实现自己的梦想。

每次到了晚上,我都会想:我头上的那颗星星上,会不会有一朵待在玻璃罩里的花和一个小王子呢?在我脚下的国家的“下面”还会不会有一只已被人抛弃的真理的狐狸……

法国的著名飞行员——圣艾修伯里写过一本我认为最好的书——《小王子》,它深深渗入我心中。主人公是一位来自一个小小的,把椅子向前一移就可以再观看一次日落的小行星。行星上有草、房子、一朵玫瑰花、三座只有膝盖高的火山,有一天,小王子与小花儿发生了冲突,便独自出走,一路上遇到了霸道的国王、一个爱慕虚荣的人、酒鬼、贪婪的商人、点灯人和地理学家,最后来到地球,经历了许多事后回家。

我真的喜欢小王子,也喜欢那只狐狸。在大人的“数字世界”中,狐狸是狡猾、贪婪等贬意的代名词,不过,在孩子们世界里,狐狸是可爱聪明的化身,可有些大人非要孩子“改思想”,有必要吗?大人不是全对的,经验再怎么多,在生活中也有盲点!还有那小狐狸的一句话:“真正重要的东西用肉眼是无法看见的;因为,你把时间投注在你所爱的事物上,才能使它变得如此珍贵,独一无二。”这句话我永远也忘不了,我认为,它浓缩了世界上所有的真理。我也觉得很可悲——人们总到店里买现成的,可没有一家在贩卖友情,所以人们没有真正的朋友。作者在文中写的例子很多:大人们还很虚荣,有的还很贪婪,有的还很暴力,大人们“只会用数字来说话”。在钱和权面前,大人可能会忘记一切,而小孩子没钱也没权,所以“孩子们是有福的”。

这本书富含着大量的哲理,可是却一点不像是在说教,并能让你身临其境。之所以我喜欢它,是因为读它必须要用“心”,只有真正的孩子才能读懂它,而大人们看了只会说:“这本书多么有哲理呀!”可他们根本不明白这些“哲理”在孩子们心中是些什么概念,很庆幸,我只有11岁左右,没有多大,还没变老,我还有时间去琢磨它们……

不过看来,时间也不多了……

我已经不能全部看到盒子里的羊了。小王子说羊就在里面,小羊睡着了,可我却一样也看不到,只看到盒子的角落处小羊的尖角和短尾巴。我真希望自己不要那么快长大!

one of the most interesting questions about gullivers travels is whether the houyhnhnms represent an ideal of rationality or whether on the other hand they are the butt of swifts satire. in other words, in book iv, is swift poking fun at the talking horses or does he intend for us to take them seriously as the proper way to act? if we look closely at the way that the houyhnhnms act, we can see that in fact swift does not take them seriously: he uses them to show the dangers of pride.

first we have to see that swift does not even take gullver seriously. for instance, his name sounds much like gullible, which suggests that he will believe anything. also, when he first sees the yahoos and they throw excrement on him, he responds by doing the same in return until they run away. he says, "i must needs discover some more rational being," even though as a human he is already the most rational being there is. this is why swift refers to erasmus darwins discovery of the origin of the species and the voyage of the beagle-to show how gulliver knows that people are at the top of the food chain. but if lemule gulliver is satirized, so are the houyhnhnms, whose voices sound like the call of castrati. they walk on two legs instead of four, and seem to be much like people. as gulliver says, "it was with the utmost astonishment that i witnessed these creatures playing the flute and dancing a vienese waltz. to my mind, they seemed like the greatest humans ever seen in court, even more dextrous than the lord edmund burke" . as this quote demonstrates, gulliver is terribly impressed, but his admiration for the houyhnhnms is short-lived because they are so prideful. for instance, the leader of the houyhnhnms claims that he has read all the works of charles dickens, and that he can singlehandedly recite the names of all the kings and queens of england up to george ii. swift subtly shows that this houyhnhnms pride is misplaced when, in the middle of the intellectual competition, he forgets the name of queen elizabeths husband.

swifts satire of the houyhnhnms comes out in other ways as well. one of the most memorable scenes is when the dapple grey mare attempts to woo the horse that guenivre has brought with him to the island. first she acts flirtatiously, parading around the bewildered horse. but when this does not have the desired effect, she gets another idea: "as i watched in amazement from my perch in the top of a tree, the sorrel nag dashed off and returned with a yahoo on her back who was yet more monstrous than mr. pope being fitted by a clothier. she dropped this creature before my nag as if offering up a sacrifice. my horse sniffed the creature and turned away." it might seem that we should take this scene seriously as a failed attempt at courtship, and that consequently we should see the grey mare as an unrequited lover. but it makes more sense if we see that swift is being satiric here: it is the female houyhnhnm who makes the move, which would not have happened in eighteenth-century england. the houyhnhm is being prideful, and it is that pride that makes him unable to impress gullivers horse. gulliver imagines the horse saying, sblood, the notion of creating the bare backed beast with an animal who had held mr. pope on her back makes me queezy .

a final indication that the houyhnmns are not meant to be taken seriously occurs when the leader of the houynhms visits lilliput, where he visits the french royal society. he goes into a room in which a scientist is trying to turn wine into water (itself a prideful act that refers to the marriage at gallilee). the scientist has been working hard at the experiment for many years without success, when the houyhnmn arrives and immediately knows that to do: "the creature no sooner stepped through the doorway than he struck upon a plan. slurping up all the wine in sight, he quickly made water in a bucket that sat near the door" .

he has accomplished the scientists goal, but the scientist is not happy, for his livelihood has now been destroyed. swifts clear implication is that even though the houyhnhmns are smart, they do not know how to use that knowledge for the benefit of society, only for their own prideful agrandizement.

throughout gullivers travels, the houyhnhms are shown to be an ideal gone wrong. though their intent might have been good, they dont know how to do what they want to do because they are filled with pride. they mislead gulliver and they even mislead themselves. the satire on them is particularly well explained by the new born houyhnhm who, having just been born, exclaims, "with this sort of entrance, what must i expect from the rest of my life!" .

我阅读了法国著名的作家与飞行家安托万.德.圣埃克苏佩里所写的《小王子》,这部温暖的小说让我真正地体会到爱最深刻的含义是什么。

书中小王子对玫瑰的呵护,对玫瑰的爱,是正真有“爱”的,是原始的,是纯粹的,是童真的,就像小王子说的:“重要的东西眼睛是看不见的,要是你喜欢一朵花儿,而她在一颗星星上,那你夜里看着天空,就会觉得很美。所有的星星都像开满了花儿。”当时我读这一句的时候,我只觉得很美,虽是一个小小的人儿,但是他身上所散发出来的爱的光辉都令死亡的阴影褪色。所以我觉得那样一个小人儿,他的心是有爱的,是充满爱的,一个小人儿他的心都有爱,但有的作为人的人他们都不会有,所以就会肃然起敬,觉得这种爱他一定不是单单在文字上有所体现的,它更是一种意识上的,因为一个人,当他说出美的话的时候,他的心一定是有那个美的境界存在的。

百年前普希金用生命捍卫着爱情的荣耀,百年后的金岳霖用一生的孤独诉说着爱情。小王子也是这样,他是多么爱他的玫瑰,心甘情愿的为她做任何事情,在旅途中也从没停止过对玫瑰的思念。所以小王子最后说:“我要对我的玫瑰负责。”当然小王子也以自己的生命完成了对玫瑰的爱,更是向世人展示了爱的真谛,即:爱是责任。多么温存的文字,我总觉得文字它是有一定魅力的,就看作者怎样去运用,而我真正地从这些文字中感受到了那种柔情,那种美,那种爱。

不管是普希金的决斗,杰克最后的拯救,还是脱掉沉重躯壳的小王子,其实他们身上都有一个共同点,即用自己的力量去奋斗,去抗争看似不可违背的命运,并且最终获得了精神上的满足和美好的爱情。

我很喜欢作者,他用童话模式,以最原始、最纯真的视角深刻抒发自己的情感,其中也包涵对现代文明中的荒诞现象的批判,具有作家独特的人生经验和价值取向,同时也唤醒着忙碌于世俗中的人们(代指那些大人,那些失去童真的大人,暂停一下脚步,怀着对爱的责任和一颗“真、善、美”的童心去拥抱生活,感受充满爱的生命。

A piggy named Wilbur and a spider named Charlotte became friend. The future of this poor piggy is a delicious course of the Christmas feast. Though ever considering escaping, yet after all he is only a pig. While Charlotte--although be viewed as small and insignificant--said, "Let me help you!" Whereupon she used her silk to weave words such as "Some Pig" and "Terrific" in her web, which are regarded as a marvel by human beings. Those marvelous words alter Wilburs destiny, and finally earned him a happy and peace future. Nevertheless, at that moment, the life of Charlotte almost completed its span...

The most impressive episode of this book is the notable friendship between Charlotte and Wilbur. A spider is a threat to a piggy at first glance, but loneliness suddenly makes Wilbur be familiar with Charlotte and surprisingly he found that this spider is extraordinary warmhearted.

What impressed us deeply is the words "You never die, Ill save you!"by Charlotte when Wilbur was wailing "I dont wanna die! I dont!" To fulfill her promise, Charlotte devoted all her lifetime and asked no rewards, until the moment she died.

Such kind of friendship is pure and clean, Only leaving the selfless love and pure kindness. When this sort of emotion has already been lacked seriously in contemporary society, this story undoubtedly moves the readers. Maybe every reader envies that Charlotte has a Wilbur, and Wilbur has a Charlotte.

The word "Goodbye" has already gone with the wind, accompanied by her silk, only leaving a Charlottes web in everyones heart.

“等那一朵玫瑰的盛放,等那一段旅途的终点,等一首歌的落音,等一个故事的谢幕。”--题记

小王子离开612星球上独一无二的玫瑰开始,注定了这是一个艰难而又漫长的旅程,临别的时候,玫瑰还是倔脾气,不肯委声诉说,事实上若是诉说了,会不会令双方更加悲伤呢?玫瑰知道,离开了612星球,它就不再是唯一的玫瑰了,她看着小王子远去的朦胧背影,觉得我们是不是应该在某时某刻放下身段,去诉说自己的内心情感?

小王子离开后,遇到了许多古怪的人,有其中两个怪的出奇!

一个人自以为是全宇宙最富有的人,他坐在办公室里,没日没夜的数星星,小王子不解:”为什么要每时每刻的数呢?“他说:“全宇宙的星星都是我的!所以我得好好管理他们,那么就得每时每刻的数下去!”小王子不了解富有又有什么意义。然而我觉得,这个自以为是的人就像我们身边那些只懂得拼命赚钱而忽略身边美好景物的人。为什么不把星星当成美景来欣赏呢?一大片星空展示在面前,没有钱财、地位、权利,那是多么纯净!占有不如去欣赏,这个哲理,有些人却不能读懂。

还有一个人奇葩度丝毫不亚于前者。小王子见他前一秒点灯,后一秒便熄灯,不由得发惑:你这是在干嘛呀?“点灯人说;”我在点灯啊!这个星球转的太快,天黑天亮只是瞬间,所以我必须不断的点灯熄灯。“小王子又说:”那你为什么不一直跟着太阳走呢?这样你就永远不用点灯了,因为永远都有光明!“点灯人听了,竟然笑着说:”我存在的意义便是点灯,这样需要光明的人才能够看见光亮。“是啊,他的意义是点灯,各司其职,尽终职守。每个人都有自己存在的意义,就像医生存在的意义就是医治病人,他们不能为了少医治病人而去一个很健康的地方;警察存在的意义是为了治安稳定,他们不能为了业绩而去一个太平的地方,从而减少自己的工作量。是呵!如果一个人一生不能成为一个名声大噪的人,何不做一个默默无闻的点灯人?至少在一生中,曾为千千万万人亮起过很重要的点点星光。

我又想起了玫瑰,想到了:一个人有一朵玫瑰,或许就已经足够了。

篇11:《简爱》英文读后感

全文共 5596 字

I first read "Jane Eyre" in eighth grade and have read it every few years since. It is one of my favorite novels, and so much more than a gothic romance to me, although thats how I probably would have defined it at age 13. I have always been struck, haunted in a way, by the characters - Jane and Mr. Rochester. They take on new depth every time I meet them...and theirs is a love story for the ages.

Charlotte Brontes first published novel, and her most noted work, is a semi-autobiographical coming-of-age story. Jane is plain, poor, alone and unprotected, but due to her fierce independence and strong will she grows and is able to defy societys expectations of her. This is definitely feminist literature, published in 1847, way before the beginning of any feminist movement. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the novel has had such a wide following since it first came on the market. It is also one of the first gothic romances published and defines the genre.

Jane Eyre, who is our narrator, was born into a poor family. Her parents died when she was a small child and the little girl was sent to live with her Uncle and Aunt Reed at Gateshead. Janes Uncle truly cared for her and showed his affection openly, but Mrs. Reed seemed to hate the orphan, and neglected her while she pampered and spoiled her own children. This unfair treatment emphasized Janes status as an unwanted outsider. She was often punished harshly. On one occasion her nasty cousin Jack picked a fight with her. Jane tried to defend herself and was locked in the terrifying "Red Room" as a result. Janes Uncle Reed had died in this room a little while before, and Mrs. Reed knew how frightened she was of the chamber. Since Jane is the narrator, the reader is given a first-hand impression of the childs feelings, her heightened emotional state at being imprisoned. Indeed, she seems almost like an hysterical child, filled with terror and rage. She repeatedly calls her condition in life "unjust" and is filled with bitterness. Looking into the mirror Jane sees a distorted image of herself. She views her reflection and sees a "strange little figure," or "tiny phantom." Jane has not learned yet to subordinate her passions to her reason. Her passions still erupt unchecked. Her isolation in the Red Room is a presentiment of her later isolation from almost every society and community. This powerful, beautifully written scene never fails to move me.

Mrs. Reed decided to send Jane away to the Lowood School, a poor institution run by Mr. Brocklehurst, who believed that suffering made grand people. All the children there were neglected, except to receive harsh punishment when any mistake was made. At Lowood, Jane met Helen Burns, a young woman a little older than Jane, who guided her with vision, light and love for the rest of her life. Janes need for love was so great. It really becomes obvious in this first friendship. Helen later died from fever, in Janes arms. Her illness and death could have been avoided if more attention had been paid to the youths. Jane stayed at Lowood for ten years, eight as a student and two as a teacher. Tired and depressed by her surroundings, Jane applied for the position of governess and found employment at Thornfield. The mansion is owned by a gentleman named Edward Fairfax Rochester. Her job there was to teach his ward, an adorable little French girl, Adele. Over a long period the moody, inscrutable Rochester confides in Jane and she in him. The two form an unlikely friendship and eventually fall in love. Again, Janes need for love comes to the fore, as does her passionate nature. She blooms. A dark, gothic figure, Rochester also has a heart filled with the hope of true love and future happiness with Jane. Ironically, he has brought all his misery, past and future, on himself.

All is not as it seems at Thornfield. There is a strange, ominous woman servant, Grace Poole, who lives and works in an attic room. She keeps to herself and is rarely seen. From the first, however, Jane has sensed bizarre happenings at night, when everyone is asleep .There are wild cries along with violent attempts on Rochesters life by a seemingly unknown person. Jane wonders why no one investigates Mrs. Poole. Then a strange man visits Thornfield and mysteriously disappears with Mr. Rochester. Late that night Jane is asked to sit with the man while the lord of the house seeks a doctors help. The man has been seriously wounded and is weak from loss of blood. He leaves by coach, in a sorry state, first thing in the morning. Janes questions are not answered directly. This visit will have dire consequences on all involved. An explosive secret revealed will destroy all the joyful plans that Jane and Rochester have made. Jane, once more will face poverty and isolation.

Charlotte Brontes heroine Jane Eyre, may not have been graced with beauty or money, but she had a spirit of fire and was filled with integrity and a sense of independence - character traits that never waned in spite of all the oppression she encountered in life. Ms. Bronte brings to the fore in "Jane Eyre" such issues as: the relations between men and women in the mid-19 century, womens equality, the treatment of children and of women, religious faith and hypocrisy (and the difference between the two), the realization of selfhood, and the nature of love and passion. This is a powerhouse of a novel filled with romance, mystery and passions. It is at once startlingly fresh and a portrait of the times. Ms. Bronte will make your heart beat faster, your pulse race and your eyes fill with tears.

篇15:《麦琪的礼物》英文读后感

Its a short story by O.Henry that has moved me for a long time.Maybe most of you are familar with its name,that is,The Gift of the Magi.I have read it many times but every time I like to read it slowly and deliberately.I think "The Gift of the Magi"

is meant to be savored.

Maybe there is no necessity for me to repeat the main idea of the story.But Im

so fascinated with the short story that I want to retell it yo you,and to myself.

It happened to a very poor but blissful young couple named Jim and Della in the end of 18th century in England.Because of the maladies of that society and the effect of economic crisis,they worked hard but earned little.Life is very hard for them.Despite of this,their love to each other and the enthusiasm for life didnt changed at all.When Chrismas day was approuching ,Della used the money she got from selling her beautiful hair which she treasured very much to give Jim a fob for his grandfathers pocket watch.But Jim had already sold that watch to buy Della tortoiseshell combs to wear in her long hair,not knowing shed cut it off.

It appears that the gifts they gave each other have been useless.But I think they gave each other the best of what they had to make the other happy.Isnt that true love?We can image,in such rough conditions,as it said in the story,"Life is made up of sobs,sniffles,and smiles,with sniffles predominating."Itst absolute reasonable for them to be beaten by the misery.But the fact is that no matter how tough life had been,they wouldt lose heart.With strong faith and their love ,they did their best to make the other pleased."Whennever Mr. James came home and reached his flat ,above he was called Jimand greatly hugged by Mrs. James."Maybe this account is the best description of their love and struggle against hard life.It was said that the povertier life is ,the firmer and truer love is."Actually,theyd given the very best they had out of love.

"They are too foolish children in a flat,who most unwisely sacrificed for each other the greatest treasures of their house.But in a last word,to the wise of these days,let it be said that of all who give gifts these two were the wisest."Said the writer in the last paragraph.Yes,they are wisest.They are the magi.Are there any reasons for us not to show respect for the young couple?

I remind my grandparents.They have spent fifty years together.No romantic words,no stirring behaviours,just comman even pedestrian life.But I can say love exists in every detail of their life.They have gone through war period,three years natural disasters,cultural revolution and so on.But no matter what happens,they are always considering for the other.Even now both of them have become old step by step,they still cared about each other.My grandparents,in my opinion,is a pair of lovers forever.

Love has nothing to do with money,possession or status.Its consideration,tolerance and respect.Its giving ones best to the other even it means sacrifice.Its affection which connects two persons hearts,and its reinforced by adversities.

Struggle against adversities.Nothing did they have,at least they owened love.Never give up as long as love exists.From"The Gift of the Magi",from Jim and Della and from my grandparents,I have learned a lot about love,life and hope.

"In order to property, money and position and the marriage is wrong; the marriage does not consider the above factors also stupid." This sentence can come to this book.

One distinctive characters in "her" lifelike; Clever sensible Elizabeth, sincerity, persistence, darcy, gentle tolerant Jane, frivolous superficial Lydia, no mind, Mrs Bennett relatively ineffective Mr Bennett, selfish snobbish miss bingley, mighty lady Catherine, boring Collins, and so on. Among them, admirable, sympathetic, or a smile. In addition, the dialogue between the characters in the novel is also a feature of the novel. Elizabeth witty words, Mr Bennett its sarcasm to him, for the khans rhetoric, Collins rap wording, which make readers view. Do you know of who "she" is? "She" is the author -- Jane Austen.

The book was welcomed by generations of readers, and love. "Pride and prejudice", published in 1813, a love story is novel, the novel of the communist party of China involves four marriage, but each have each characteristic.

In a word, no matter from content and Austins novel narrative techniques, "pride and prejudice" is a classic.

“为了财产、金钱和地位而结婚是错误的;而结婚不考虑上述因素也是愚蠢的。”这句话正好可以来讲明这本书。

一个个鲜明的人物形象在“她”的笔下栩栩如生;聪明理智的伊丽莎白,真诚执著的达西,温柔宽容的简,轻浮浅薄的丽迪亚,没有头脑的贝内特太太,相对无能的贝内特先生,自私势利的宾利小姐,不可一世的凯瑟琳夫人,无聊透顶的柯林斯等等。他们中,有的令人佩服,有的令人同情,有的令人忍俊不禁。此外,小说中的人物对话也是小说的一大特色。伊丽莎白的机智话语,贝内特先生对他它的讽刺挖苦,为可汗的花言巧语,柯林斯的饶舌措辞,无不让读者大饱眼福。你知道当中的“她”是谁吗?“她”就是作者——简.奥斯汀。

这本书受到一代又一代读者的欢迎、喜爱。《傲慢偏见》发表于1813年,爱情故事也是小说主线,小说中共涉及了四桩婚烟,但各有各的特点。

总之,无论从小说的故事内容和奥斯汀的叙述技巧来说,《傲慢与偏见》都不失为一部经典作品。

篇19:《格列佛游记》英文读后感

全文共 3924 字

+ 加入清单

One of the most interesting questions about Gullivers Travels is whether the Houyhnhnms represent an ideal of rationality or whether on the other hand they are the butt of Swifts satire. In other words, in Book IV, is Swift poking fun at the talking horses or does he intend for us to take them seriously as the proper way to act? If we look closely at the way that the Houyhnhnms act, we can see that in fact Swift does not take them seriously: he uses them to show the dangers of pride.

First we have to see that Swift does not even take Gullver seriously. For instance, his name sounds much like gullible, which suggests that he will believe anything. Also, when he first sees the Yahoos and they throw excrement on him, he responds by doing the same in return until they run away. He says, "I must needs discover some more rational being," even though as a human he is already the most rational being there is. This is why Swift refers to Erasmus Darwins discovery of the origin of the species and the voyage of the Beagle-to show how Gulliver knows that people are at the top of the food chain. But if Lemule Gulliver is satirized, so are the Houyhnhnms, whose voices sound like the call of castrati. They walk on two legs instead of four, and seem to be much like people. As Gulliver says, "It was with the utmost astonishment that I witnessed these creatures playing the flute and dancing a Vienese waltz. To my mind, they seemed like the greatest humans ever seen in court, even more dextrous than the Lord Edmund Burke" . As this quote demonstrates, Gulliver is terribly impressed, but his admiration for the Houyhnhnms is short-lived because they are so prideful. For instance, the leader of the Houyhnhnms claims that he has read all the works of Charles Dickens, and that he can singlehandedly recite the names of all the Kings and Queens of England up to George II. Swift subtly shows that this Houyhnhnms pride is misplaced when, in the middle of the intellectual competition, he forgets the name of Queen Elizabeths husband.

Swifts satire of the Houyhnhnms comes out in other ways as well. One of the most memorable scenes is when the dapple grey mare attempts to woo the horse that Guenivre has brought with him to the island. First she acts flirtatiously, parading around the bewildered horse. But when this does not have the desired effect, she gets another idea: "As I watched in amazement from my perch in the top of a tree, the sorrel nag dashed off and returned with a yahoo on her back who was yet more monstrous than Mr. Pope being fitted by a clothier. She dropped this creature before my nag as if offering up a sacrifice. My horse sniffed the creature and turned away." It might seem that we should take this scene seriously as a failed attempt at courtship, and that consequently we should see the grey mare as an unrequited lover. But it makes more sense if we see that Swift is being satiric here: it is the female Houyhnhnm who makes the move, which would not have happened in eighteenth-century England. The Houyhnhm is being prideful, and it is that pride that makes him unable to impress Gullivers horse. Gulliver imagines the horse saying, Sblood, the notion of creating the bare backed beast with an animal who had held Mr. Pope on her back makes me queezy .

A final indication that the Houyhnmns are not meant to be taken seriously occurs when the leader of the Houynhms visits Lilliput, where he visits the French Royal Society. He goes into a room in which a scientist is trying to turn wine into water (itself a prideful act that refers to the marriage at Gallilee). The scientist has been working hard at the experiment for many years without success, when the Houyhnmn arrives and immediately knows that to do: "The creature no sooner stepped through the doorway than he struck upon a plan. Slurping up all the wine in sight, he quickly made water in a bucket that sat near the door" .
