读完《老人与海》,我的心久久不能平静。

八十四个日日夜夜,老渔夫圣地亚哥在海上什么也没有捕到,其他的渔民都嘲笑他,说他是一个失败者。于是第二天,他坚定信念,到大家都不敢去的深海捕鱼。他和一只大马林鱼搏斗了三天三夜,终于将它捕获。当他踏上归途时,却遇到了一只鲨鱼,奋力抵抗了多日,才脱离险境。可鱼肉在搏斗中被撕扯,只剩下一具硕大的鱼骨。

八十四天,一无所获,是寂寞的,难熬的。经历这么大的磨难,挫折和嘲笑,老渔夫仍然挺了过来,坚定自己的信念,坚持着自己的初衷,勇敢地向深海进发。

深海中的一只大马林鱼,既是猎物,又随时可能转变为猎人。他没有畏惧也没有退缩,勇敢地去与之搏斗。三天三夜,任是精力多么旺盛的人,也会被耗得精疲力竭,可他靠着坚韧的意志,坚持下来并取得了胜利。

最后与鲨鱼的搏杀,尽管结局不那么美好——鱼只剩下了骨架。可在这一次次的搏斗中,老渔夫收获到了永不放弃的信念,执着向前的坚持,逆境中不服输的精神,勇敢与困难作斗争的拼搏和坚韧的意志。这些已经远远大于了一只鱼的价值。因为有了这些品质和精神,在今后的生活中,不管遇到什么,问题都会迎刃而解。他从一次次磨难中,明白了成长的真谛。

生活更是如此,只有经历磨难,才能从中吸取经验和教训,获得成长。只有积极乐观地去面对它们,才能不被其所阻。困难面前的我们十分渺小,但我们可以努力让自己变得强大。

一本好书,值得去细细品读,从中有所感,有所悟。

篇1:名著《雾都孤儿》英文读后感

雾都孤儿》揭露许多当时的社会问题,如救济院、童工、以及帮派吸收青少年参与犯罪等。以下是小编带来的雾都孤儿英文读后感,希望对你有帮助。

Oliver Twist, one of the most famous works of Charles Dickens, is a novel reflecting the tragic fact of the life in Britain in 18th century.

The author who himself was born in a poor family wrote this novel in his twenties with a view to reveal the ugly masks of those cruel criminals and to expose the horror and violence hidden underneath the narrow and dirty streets in London.

The hero of this novel was Oliver Twist, an orphan, who was thrown into a world full of poverty and crime. He suffered enormous pain, such as hunger, thirst, beating and abuse. While reading the tragic experiences of the little Oliver, I was shocked by his sufferings. I felt for the poor boy, but at the same time I detested the evil Fagin and the brutal Bill. To my relief, as was written in all the best stories, the goodness eventually conquered devil and Oliver lived a happy life in the end. One of the plots that attracted me most is that after the theft, little Oliver was allowed to recover in the kind care of Mrs. Maylie and Rose and began a new life. He went for walks with them, or Rose read to him, and he worked hard at his lessons. He felt as if he had left behind forever the world of crime and hardship and poverty.

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 goodness could conquer every difficulty. Although I dont think goodness is 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 goodness is one of the most necessary character for a person. Goodness is to humans what water is to fish. He who is without goodness is an utterly worthless person. On the contrary, as the famous saying goes, The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose, he who is with goodness undoubtedly 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 goodness in humanity. They look down on peoples 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 theirkindness, 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.

That is to say a person without goodness is destined to lose everything. Therefore, I, a kind person, want to tell thosevermin-to-beto learn from the kind Oliver and regain the nature of goodness.

篇2:关于《傲慢与偏见》英文读后感200字

全文共 8087 字

+ 加入清单

【编者按】傲慢,偏见,这两个毋庸质疑的贬义词,让简。奥斯丁的作品成为精致的象征一时之间闻名遐迩,从而傲慢与偏见也成为了脍炙人口的伟大著作。

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欢迎的一部,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。其社会风情化似的小说不仅在当时吸引着广大的读者,时至今日,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的小说家,在英国小说史上起了承上启下的作用。

Austen pride and Prejudice, as she said, is in the details on 2cm ivory carving, it is the masterpiece of Austen. This reflects the Marriage Novels by the author is one of the most popular works, is also her most loved works. Works vivid reflects the late eighteenth Century to early nineteenth Century in a conservative and occlusion of the British town life and the ways of the world. The social customs of a novel at that time not only to attract a large number of readers, today, still give the reader a unique artistic enjoyment. She was the first to describe reality daily life of ordinary novelist, played an important role in the history of the British novel.

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,至今深深地吸引着我们。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吗?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。

The whole film without the torrential imposing no twists and turns, ups and downs, but this is simple, still attracted us deeply. Austen short life, almost all spent in the British countryside, perhaps the surrounding plain, quiet atmosphere gave birth to her indifferent temperament. Not as rich in experience, they have skills in analysis of her to doubt, read pride and Prejudice people will be fine for her, a keen sensibility at. Write pride and Prejudice, she was a teenage girl, isnt this a gift? She has very little contact with "outsiders", but there is thought, imagination, the existence of all this is enough.

范文二

Many people simply regard Pride and Prejudice as a love story, but in my opinion, this book is an illustration of the society at that time. She perfectly reflected the relation between money and marriage at her time and gave the people in her works vivid characters.

The characters have their own personalities. Mrs. Bennet is a woman who makes great efforts to marry off her daughters. Mr. Bingley is a friendly young man, but his friend, Mr. Darcy, is a very proud man who seems to always feel superior. Even the five daughters in Bennet family are very different. Jane is simple, innocent and never speaks evil of others. Elizabeth is a clever girl who always has her own opinion. Mary likes reading classic books. (Actually she is a pedant.) Kitty doesn’t have her own opinion but likes to follow her sister, Lydia. Lydia is a girl who follows exotic things, handsome man, and is somehow a little profligate. When I read the book, I can always find the same personalities in the society now. That is why I think this book is indeed the representative of the society in Britain in the 18th century.

The family of gentleman in the countryside is Jane Austen’s favourite topic. But this little topic can reflect big problems. It concludes the stratum situation and economic relationships in Britain in her century. You can find these from the very beginning of this book.

Austen left this problem for us to think. The genius of Jane Austen lies in this perfect simplicity, the simplicity that reflects big problems. Although Austen was only 21 when she wrote “Pride and Prejudice”, her sharp observation of social lives makes the style of this book surprisingly mature and lively. The plots in her works are always very natural. The development of the plot is as inevitable as a problem in mathematics. I think the depth of Pride and Prejudice is the reason that makes this book prominent and classic. Today, her book still can be the guide telling us the economic relationships both at her time and in modern time.

范文三

Pride and Prejudice is a novel written by the famous English writer, Jane Austen, who was the sixth children in a family of seven and was born in the village of steventon in Hampshire in 1775 and died of Addison’s disease in 1817. The book first published on 28 January 1813 by the bookseller Thomas Egerton who had also published Sense and Sensibility, the original version of the novel was written in 1796-1797 under the title First Impressions .

Pride and Prejudice is a love story, mainly tells the love between Elizabeth and Darcy. It divided into 2 volumes and is composed of 42 chapters altogether. The major characters are Mr. Darcy, A rich and proud young man. Elizabeth, the second eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bennet. Mr. Bingley , A rich young bachelor. Jane, the first daughter of Mr. and Mrs.Bennet. The story begin with Bingley’s arrival. One day when Mrs.Bennet hear Bingley has taken Netherfield, a house near her’s. She is so happy and arranged one of her five daughters marriage with him. At a ball, luckly, Bingley and Jane fall in love at the first sight. Darcy, a friend of Bingley’s , was attracted to Elizabeth, a lively and spirited girl. But Darcy greatly offends her by his supercilious behavior and this dislike is increased by Wickham, a dashing young militia officer of the unjust treatment he has met with at Darcys hands. One day when Darcy and Bingley’s two sisters disgusted with the vulgarity of Mrs. Bennet and her two youngest daughters, effectively separated Bingley and Jane. Meanwhile, Collins, a cousin of Mr. and Mrs. Bennet, married charlotte, a friend of Elizabeth’s, for Elizabeth’s refuse to marry him. But One day Darcy send Elizabeth a letter, in which he justifies the separation of his friend Bingley and Jane and make it clear that Wickham is. So Elizabeth changed her opinions and ideas toward him. Once when Elizabeth visited her uncle and aunt in the north of England, she met Darcy there and witnessed his changes through series of behaviors, no longer pride and become gentle and attentive, all these made their marriage arranged, and they also suitably provided for Bingley and Jane’s reunited and engaged. The story ends with both their happy marriages.

My point of view towards the masterpiece of Jane Austen’s is that this novel reflects the English human sentiment of the end of 18th century and the early of 19th century under the circumstance of conservative,and tells us the difference ways and attitudes to marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Bennet’s five daughters’. Thereby reveal the author herself attitude towards marriage, that is love and marriage based on money, property and social status is not perfect, but it is also stupid Without considering all of these. There, the author emphasize the importance of ideal marriage, meanwhile, to be opposed to love & marriage based on money or property and to be opposed to people’s laugh love & marriage off. The author takes the affection/love as the cornerstone of ideal marriage between male and female. Elizabeth as the leading character in this novel, was born in the family of squireen’s, and is loved by Darcy. Darcy propose marriage to her in spite of difference in the possession of property and social status, but is refused by Elizabeth for his pride , the novel demonstrate that if the pride of Darcy’s existed , there will be no love and also happy marriage between Elizabeth and he, it is really nice that Elizabeth witness the changes of Darcy’s through series of behavior in the following days. viewing that he is no longer pride and then eliminating her prejudice to him, finally engaged with him and leading a happy marriage. The author described that female is in pursuit of independent personality and equal right through several different attitudes of Elizabeth for Darcy’s propose marriage. Meanwhile, demonstrate Elizabeth’s independent understanding for a happy marriage. In this article, the writer described several unperfect marriages of Elizabeth’s sisters and close friends, aimed at making a sharp contrast with Elizabeth’s beatific marriage and revealed that marriage without love but base on social status and property actually is a kind of public tragedies. Humorous, ironical, polished language and real storyline is also occurred in this article.

假期我读了海明威的小说《老人与海》。小说中老渔夫的意志令人钦佩,正是老人那种坚持不懈的精神,使他获得了成功。

小说描写的是一个年近六旬的老渔夫,在一次单身出海打鱼时,钓到了一条大鱼,怎么拉也拉不上来。老渔夫同鱼周旋了几天后,才发现这是一条超过自己渔船数倍的大马林鱼,虽然明知很难取胜,但仍不放弃。后来又因大马林鱼伤口上的鱼腥味引来了几群鲨鱼抢食,但老人仍不愿就这样放弃,经过几夜的努力,最终突出重围,将大鱼带回了渔港。

当我读到“大马林鱼开始快速地围着小渔船游动,将缆绳缠绕到了桅杆上……”时,我的心不禁提了起来,想,老人怎么办?他一定会退缩的。可是,结果却令我十分吃惊。书上说“老人右手高举着钢叉,在它跃出水面的一瞬间,竭尽全力地向它的心脏掷去,一声哀鸣结束了大鱼的生命,它静静地浮在水面上……”此时此刻,我的心也像一块千斤重的大石头落了地,终于松了一口气。

是啊,这位老渔夫多么顽强,面对困难,他毫不退缩,奋力挑战。尽管对手凶猛无比,比自己强大,可他仍旧鼓起勇气不气馁,沉着冷静不慌张。要知道这可是无边无际的大海啊!别人遇上这种事也许会被吓倒,不知所措,偃旗息鼓。可书中的老渔夫坚持不懈与大海搏斗,与强手较劲,在艰难中奋力拼搏,才获得了这场生死较量的胜利。我们在生活中也要学习老渔夫的精神,做事情不怕困难,才能取得成功。

老人与海》是能够影响人类历史的百部文学经典之一。孤独的英雄,闪光的希望。

《老人与海》获得过诺贝尔文学奖,当时的评语是这样的:这是“由于他对当代文风的影响。”

《老人与海》讲了一个老鱼夫的故事,但是在这个故事里却揭示了人类共同的命运。我佩服老人的勇气,佩服老人的不屈不挠的斗争精神,也佩服海明威,他的想象之丰富。故事大概是这样的:

《老人与海》故事的背景是在二十世纪中叶的古巴。主人公是一位名叫圣地亚哥的老渔夫,配角是一个叫马诺林的小孩。风烛残年的老渔夫一连八十四天都没有钓到一条鱼,但他仍不肯认输,而是充满着奋斗的精神,终于在第八十五天钓到一条身长十八尺,体重一千五百磅的大马林鱼。大鱼拖着船往海里走,老人依然死拉着不放,即使没有水,没有食物,没有武器,没有助手,左手抽筋,他也丝毫不灰心。经过两天两夜之后,他终于杀死大鱼,把它拴在船边。但许多鲨鱼立刻前来抢夺他的战利品。他一一地杀死它们,到最后只剩下一支折断的舵柄作为武器。结果,大鱼仍难逃被吃光的命运,最终,老人筋疲力尽地拖回一副鱼骨头。他回到家躺在床上,只好从梦中去寻回那往日美好的岁月,以忘却残酷的现实。

这也是个真实的故事。

《老人与海》这本小说是根据真人真事写的。第一次世界大战结束后,海明威移居古巴,认识了老渔民格雷戈里奥·富恩特斯。1930年,海明威乘的船在暴风雨中沉没,富恩特斯搭救了海明威。从此,海明威与富恩特斯结下了深厚的友谊,并经常一起出海捕鱼。

1936年,富恩特斯出海很远捕到了一条大鱼,但由于这条鱼太大,在海上拖了很长时间,结果在归程中被鲨鱼袭击,回来时只剩下了一副骨架。

1950年圣诞节后不久,海明威产生了极强的创作欲,在古巴哈瓦那郊区的别墅“观景社”,他开始动笔写《老人与海》(起初名为《现有的海》)。到1951年2月23日就完成了初稿,前后仅用了八周。4月份海明威把手稿送给去古巴访问他的友人们传阅,博得了一致的赞美。海明威本人也认为这是他“这一辈子写得最好的一部作品!”

《老人与海》中的老人向我们展示了不可战胜的“硬汉精神”。

锲而不舍,金石可镂;锲而舍之,朽木不折。

老人与海》一书叙述了一位贫穷的老人出海捕鱼时,捕到了一条大马林鱼,老人在与大马林鱼争斗的过程中,虽然受了不少伤,但是他依然目标专一,持之以恒,战胜了大马林鱼,打败了前来抢食的鲨鱼,将大马林鱼带回了他家乡的港口。

只有经历过风雨才能见彩虹。人生亦如此,唯有目标专一,持之以恒,才会拥有美好的明天。古往今来,凡是在事业上有所成就的人,哪个背后没有付出过辛勤的汗水?我国清代著名书画家郑板桥——他以前的字体软弱无力。他立志要把字练好。于是,便以坚忍不拔的毅力天天练习,日复一日,年复一年,从不间断,终于写出了一手遒劲潇洒的好字。使他的字与诗﹑画一起,被后人赞为“三绝”。

我国晋代大文学家左思,他决心致力于文学。从此一心一意,勤勤恳恳,专心致志,广读诗书。终于在文学上取得了巨大成就,写出了千古流传,家喻户晓的《三都赋》。

徐霞客他从小立志要成为一名著名的地理学家。他跋山涉水,餐风露宿,历经千辛万苦。终于写成了著名的《徐霞客游记》……是啊,唯有目标专一,持之以恒,才能有所作为,有所成就。我的表姐,她十年如一日,刻苦读书,孜孜不倦,终于实现了她考入清华的理想。这,不也是目标专一,持之以恒吗?

宝剑锋从磨砺出,梅花香自苦寒来。目标专一,持之以恒,有志者事竟成!让我们一起铭记这句名言,让我们的明天更加美好,让我们一起叩开成功之门,戴上成功的花环!

最近我看了一部名叫《老人与海》的书,虽然里面的语句并不是那么华丽,但却拥有朴素真实的美,那么下面咱们就一起走进书的王国,体会文字的奥秘。

一位老人常年独自在海上打鱼,有一次他钓到了一条大鱼,但是在返回的路上遇到了成群的鲨鱼。老人使出混身解数和鲨鱼博斗,最后鲨鱼把能吃的肉全吃完了,结果老人拖回去的只是一副大鱼的骨架。

以上我介绍的正是这本书的主要内容,是不是很有意思呢?读完这本书,我被老人坚毅、永不放弃的品格所打动,老人见到鲨鱼后不是想着怎样逃跑,而是想办想和鲨鱼顽强的做斗争,这不禁让我想起了语文书里的一位小主人公,那就是勇于和病魔作斗争的艾滋病小斗士——恩科西。

他知道自已患有艾滋病后,并没有悲观消沉,而是学习怎样面对生活,面对可怕的艾滋病。俗话说的好,人就如弹簧,你强他就弱,你弱他就强。这本书告诉咱们一道理,就算遇到再难的事情,只要坚持到底,就一定会有好的结果!

闲来无事,拿出身旁的《老人与海》细细品读,翻开书卷,我能聆听到一颗鲜活跳动的心。

老人远赴大海,仅为了捕鱼吗?我想绝不是如此的。海明威笔下的老人被赋予了一种不可征服的顽强精神。当老人在出海的84天后却一无所获时,面对多次失败,老人并未绝望,那份淡然是我们值得学习的;当他用粗陋的武器一次次刺进鲨鱼头颅时,我们看到了老人身上那份顽强的勇气和一颗永不屈服的心;当老人回家时后看到马林鱼只剩下一副的鱼骨架时,老人只淡然地说道“人尽可以被毁灭,却不能被打败”。虽然这句话听上去显得简简单单,但在我看来却蕴含着大道理。

肉体,可以被折磨,但精神是绝对不能被侵犯的,这是我对老人的话的理解。英雄,可以不需要有强壮的体魄,但绝对不能没有巨大的精神力量,而老人就是这样的英雄。他没有强壮的体魄却有着战胜自己对缺陷、挑战了自己的极限的巨大精神。挑战极限永远是值得我们尊敬的,因为他向我们展示了最高贵的自信。

我们的人生总是在无止境地追求中,或许我们的路上满是坎坷和荆棘,但只要我们用一颗充满自信的心去面对,我们总会成为胜利者。

闲来无事,又重新潜心拜读了一遍《老人与海》,读时却不禁感想颇深,仿佛不是在阅读一本枯燥的书,而是在阅读一颗生动的心,一颗赤红的心,一颗跳动的充满激情的心。那是数年前我体会不到的。我的感怀也由此开始。

简练,或者说精炼的文字,配上扣人心弦的叙述,即使不长的小说,也能成功,而牵动读者的心。《老人与海》在海明威的思绪中流转,充满炽热的液体,不曾冷却。

王勃笔下流淌出的千古传唱的《滕王阁序》,其间曾说,“老当益壮,宁移白首之心,穷且益坚,不坠青云之志。”这不仅是一个人的志向,也是老人圣地亚哥的真实写照,是他的灵魂的最恰当描述,是一种生命意义,是一种悲剧一般的壮丽,还是一种对人生的洞悉。当这个世界的天平不向每个人倾斜时,总用人会被象征倒霉的另一端所高高抬起,没有信心,厄运会轻易吞噬空虚的心灵。人真的是很奇怪的动物,为何有勇气面对死亡,却没有勇气面对失败呢?难道失败真的如此可怕吗?冷冷的海风里夹杂着一股血腥,也许这才是人真正害怕的。唯有不羁的灵魂,才是与大海的对抗,与自然的对抗,与世界的对抗,与命运的对抗,这样的灵魂才能做到,真正的伟大,即使他不曾成功过。

篇1:《简爱》英文读后感

Jane Eyre, is a poor but aspiring, small in body but huge in soul, obscure but self-respecting girl. After we close the covers of the book, after having a long journey of the spirit, Jane Eyre, a marvelous figure, has left us so much to recall and to think:

We remember her goodness: for someone who lost arms and blinded in eyes, for someone who despised her for her ordinariness, and even for someone who had hurt her deeply in the past.

We remember her pursuit of justice. It’s like a companion with the goodness. But still, a virtuous person should promote the goodness on one side and must check the badness on the other side.

We remember her self-respect and the clear situation on equality. In her opinion, everyone is the same at the God’s feet. Though there are differences in status、in property and also in appearance, but all the human being are equal in personality.

We also remember her striving for life, her toughness and her confidence…

When we think of this girl, what she gave us was not a pretty face or a transcendent temperament that make us admire deeply, but a huge charm of her personality.

Actually, she wasn’t pretty, and of course, the ordinary appearance didn’t make others feel good of her, even her own aunt felt disgusted with it. And some others even thought that she was easy to look down on and to tease, so when Miss Ingram met Jane Eyre, she seemed quite contemptuous, for that she was obviously much more prettier than ‘the plain and ugly governess’. But as the little governess had said: ‘Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong!’ This is the idea of equality in Jane Eyre’s mind. God hadn’t given her beauty and wealth, but instead, God gave her a kind mind and a thinking brain. Her idea of equality and self-respect impress us so much and let us feel the power inside her body.

In my mind, though a person’s beauty on the face can make others once feel that one is attractive and charming, if his or her mind isn’t the same beautiful as the appearance, such as beauty cannot last for, when others find that the beauty which had charmed them was only a falsity, it’s not true, they will like the person no more. For a long time, only a person’s great virtue, a noble soul, a beautiful heart can be called as AN EVERLASTING BEAUTY, just as Kahill Gibran has said, that ‘Beauty is a heart enflamed and a soul enchanted’. I can feel that how beauty really is, as we are all fleshly men, so we can’t distinguish whether a man is of nobleness or humbleness, but fleshly men, so we can’t distinguish whether a man is of nobleness or humbleness, but as there are great differences in our souls, and from that, we can know that whether a man is noble or ordinary, and even obscure, that is, whether he is beautiful or not.

Her story makes us thinking about life and we learn much from her experience, at least, that is a fresh new recognition of the real beauty.

篇2:《简爱》英文读后感

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,www.99zuowen.com, 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12:老人与海读后感及心得感悟

我第一次知道老人与海这个故事是我在初中时,历史老师课上给我们看的,但是那次是通过电脑下载电影来看的。电影中我看到了一位不服输不放弃不相信命运的老渔夫。

故事中主要是在围绕着老人,大马哈鱼以及大海中潜在的一系列危险。我看的这部电影是由《老人与海》这本书中的故事情节拍摄的,而这本书的作者,海鸣威,他以其独特的写作手法和写作思维,给读者展现的并不是传统结局(老人胜利而归),而是老人空手而归,这种结局给读者更加大的思考,这样,读者就会更加会注意到主人公的过程而不是结果。我想海鸣威他这样写的目的也就在于此。

老人与海的真正协作目的不是为了告诉我们读者这样一个故事,而是告诉我们有这样一种精神是值得我们每一人去学习的:锲而不舍,努力拼搏,不畏风险,改变命运。

我是在保送(2)班班主任的提示下,才到网上寻找这本书来读的,这几天读了之后,在文字和人物精神上有了更多的认识,我不说是重新的认识,因为电影已经通过强悍的视觉,听觉两大方面为我们生动形象地展现了故事的大概面貌,这很大程度上满足了读者时间上的允许范围,但是由于电影并不是原汁原味的,而是被导演先咀嚼过,再送到我们嘴边的精神食粮,不是吗?读书比看电影更能真实地完整地接近作者的内心世界。作者的内心世界即使细微,哪怕藏匿得很好,也会在其笔尖在不经意间流露在文字深处,也许这就是文学创作的真正魅力。

我从《老人与海》这本书中看到的是作者更多的对老人的心理活动和语言表情的细微描写。这是我从看点验的过程中难以捕捉到的,因为电影放映的时间短暂,而对于书,如果你拥有它并渴望拥有它,那么它就会成为你忠诚的奴仆,他会等待这你去读它,它可以等你一天,一月,一年,知道你死或直到你不需要它,书它会等待你任何时候读它的任何部分,不是吗?

我再联系起了我不久前在胜利剧院观看的北京大学曹文轩教授的讲座,我想起了他所说到的文章的魂,想到了他所说到的文学的未来发展趋势,我突然想到了一本书的存在意义,书的存在实不过为了表达作者的某些观点,想法,心情,或记录某些相对重要的内容,或其他。但是书终将成为人们要看的载体,如果书对人是无用的不如不要书。

老人圣地亚哥是一位老渔民,老人与海就讲述了他在连续八十四天都没有捕到一条鱼的情况下,终于独自一人钓上了一条大马林鱼,但这条鱼庞大的像一座山丘,所以将老渔民圣地亚哥的小渔船整整拖了几天几夜叉筋疲力尽,被老人杀死绑在了小船的一头。老人返航的时候却遇到了鲨鱼,他应用的抵抗鲨鱼的攻击。可最后回到港湾的时候,大鱼只剩下鱼头、鱼尾和一条脊骨。

这篇小说描写了老人在中亚紫霞仍保持着优雅的风度。作者这样写突出了老人威严冷静的性格特点,就像我们小学五年级的一篇课文《桥》中的老支书一样。面对鲨鱼的攻击,老人并没有吓呆了,而是沉着的应对鲨鱼疯狂的攻击才保住了自己的性命。如果老人并没有沉着的应对鲨鱼的攻击,那老人将会一无所有(宝货老人的生命)这篇小说主要告诉我名字一个人应用有的最宝贵的精神—人可以被毁灭,却不可以被打败。圣地亚哥也因此而成为了文学史上最着名的“硬汉”之一

所以在生活上我们要学习老渔民圣地亚哥的品格与精神,才能成为对住过有用的人。

读了《老人与海》,我便被主人公乐观,勇敢与执着的硬汉形象所深深吸引。

主人公桑迪亚哥是位“背运”的老人,连续84天没有捕到鱼,第85天出海,经过两天三夜的搏斗,终于捕获一条一千五百多磅的大马林鱼。然而,天有不测风云,在归航途中,多次遭遇鲨鱼袭击,老人与鲨鱼进行了殊死搏斗,结果大马林鱼还是被鲨鱼吃光了,老人最后拖回家的只剩下一副光秃秃的鱼骨架。在这期间,老人以非凡的勇气,惊人的毅力,忍受着常人难以忍受的孤独,饥饿,疲劳和伤痛,一次次地超越人类的极限。但我们从中没有看见一滴失败者的眼泪,却分明看到强者失败时高傲的微笑,他是一个硬汉,是一个虽败犹荣的英雄。

这是一场孤独的历程,一个人划着一条小船缓缓地驶向远海,被大鱼拖着在漫无方向,复杂的洋流中四处飘荡,那种令人恐慌的迷失感,就像一个人在黑夜森林中寻找出路一样,老人只能和自己对话,和鱼对话,和大海对话。

“一个人并不是生来要给打败的,”“你尽可以把它消灭掉,可就是打不败他。”外在的肉体可以接受折磨,内在的意志却是神圣不可侵犯的。被打败的可以是肉体,但绝不能是我们的意志。最大的敌人永远都是自己,当一个人的意志坚不可摧时,那么便没有任何事物会再让你畏惧。

所谓的“背运”,从未在老人心里起过一丝涟漪,他在大海上时刻面临着生与死的挑战,却始终没有产生退缩的心理。而反思我们现在所定义的挫折,磨难,难以跨越的荆棘,是何等的肤浅。或许,面对这些,老人的脸上只有淡淡的不屑。

尽管老人最终并没有将大马林鱼安全地带回家,不是最后的胜利者。但是从另一个角度看,老人难道就不是一个令人崇敬的胜利者吗?因为他至始至终,都没有向大海,向大马林鱼,更没有向鲨鱼妥协和投降,他在精神上取得了虽败犹荣的胜利。在暗潮汹涌的海面上,残破的小船,冷冷的海风夹杂着浓烈的血腥味,也许这才是人真正害怕的,唯有不羁的灵魂,才能与大海对抗,与自然对抗,与命运对抗,这才是真正的伟大,即使他不曾成功过。

篇16:老人与海读后感作文选集

全文共 824 字

轻轻合上这本书,不禁思绪万千,我的心也早已随着这书飘荡到波涛汹涌的大海,与老人一起遨游。

故事写的很简单:老渔夫圣地亚哥在海上连续八十四天没有捕到鱼。起初,有一个叫曼诺林的孩子跟他一起出海,可是过了四十天还没有捕到鱼,孩子就被父母安排到另一条船上去了,因为他们认为跟着老人不会交好运。第八十五天,老人一清早就把船划出很远,他出乎意料地钓到了一条比船还大的马林鱼。老人和这条鱼周旋了两天,终于叉中了它。但受伤的鱼在海上留下了一道血腥的踪迹,引来无数鲨鱼的争抢。老人奋力与鲨鱼搏斗,不过,回到海港时,马林鱼只剩下一副巨大的骨架,老人也筋疲力尽地一头栽倒在地上。孩子来看老人,他认为老人没有被打败。那天下午,老人在棚屋中睡着了,梦中他见到了狮子。

“人不是为失败而生的。”这是圣地亚哥的信念,也是《老人与海》作者要表达的信念。虽然他并没有把马林鱼完整地带回海港,但是他这种永不言败,勇往直前的精神不也值得我们学习和赞扬吗?他那坚强的意志、勇敢的行为丝毫不比英雄逊色。他代表了人类面对艰难困苦时所显示的坚不可摧的精神力量。孩子准备和老人再度出海,他要学会老人的一切“本领”,这象征着人类这种“打不败”的精神将代代相传。圣地亚哥英雄式的斗争不仅挽救了他自己,也鼓舞了他周围的人,使他们得到精神上的升华,这个精神上永远不可战胜的人成为了文学史上最著名的“硬汉”形象之一。

“一个人可以被毁灭,却不能被打败。”这是《老人与海》中的名言。在现实生活中,遇到困难是难免的,谁都不可能一帆风顺,重要的是勇于面对,坚持不懈,失败后吸取教训,即使第一百次摔倒,也要第一百零一次站起来。回想自己,一遇到点儿困难就不耐烦,吵着要别人帮我完成,一旦失败就像泄了气的皮球,选择逃避。唉,和老人相比,真是天壤之别啊!

人生谁没失败过,但要看你如何看待失败。失败后就自暴自弃是肯定不行的。只有不断吸取教训、不断努力争取、永不言败,才能发展,才能进步,才能保持人的尊严和勇气,拥有胜利者的风度。

篇17:百万英镑读后感英文

全文共 3103 字

Based on Mark Twains novel, The Millionaire Pound Note takes an interesting satirical look at the hypocrisy stemming from class distinction in the 50s England. England is a country where class and wealth are given extreme significance, especially among the rich. The film shows the hypocrisy that existed among these people, how the rich are quick to change face when in an instant they find out that youre a man of wealth and how within the next moment they revert back to their condescending selves when all wealth is lost.

Interestingly, The Millionaire also briefly looks at how the English perceived Americans in that era. Rich Americans were welcomed as outsiders and the poor were quickly shunned away. The fact that hes an outsider either makes him more appealing or the complete opposite. The story sticks to the main theme by emphasizing on the hypocrisy of the upper class society but at the same time it also creates a balance that prevents the movie from being a mockery of the British society. The movie drags at some point but the love story appears at the right time and there is plenty of comedy to keep one entertained. A charming Gregory Peck totally nails the part and the luminous Jane Griffiths is a treat. Reginald Beckwith, as Pecks sidekick Rock is amusing. The ending is a little predictable but the director does an overall good job by rounding it up and presenting his points.

百万英镑读后感英文【3】

Mark Twains short story of "one million pounds" is a very good work. The article on the "money is everything," "money is omnipotent," the idea of a satire, to expose the ugly face of capitalist society.

"One million pounds" is about a poor, honest man, that is, the heroine of this story has received a pair of brothers, the letter sent to him inside one million pounds. The brothers had made a bet, gambling, if a poor, honest people who come knocking on the door received the one million pounds, he will be what kind of results? Brother that he would starve to death because he could not prove that the money was his own, will be subject to other peoples doubts, and even the banks do not let him save money. His younger brother that he would lead a very good, and therefore they have the brothers of one million pounds will be loaned to check the poorest people, and spent 30 days abroad. Did not expect that during this period of time, people have the rare fortune suddenly rich, has tried to cozy up to him, from the free food, buy clothes, free accommodation, like a beggar, like to please him, and continue to improve his social status until the exception of the highest outdoor Wang Duke on! Not only that, he also has been a good wife and 30,000 pounds of bank interest, and finally from two brothers got a very good job. Lived a very, very happy life.

See here, I am so envious of the "lucky" the heroine, but at the same time I would like to: people reason to curry favor with him, not just because when people value money too it? Worship of money is shameful and should not be reaping more! Money is not omnipotent, the world than money, there are many more important things … …

Helen Keller,blind and deaf from infancy.Stricken with a serious illness at the age of nineteen months,Keller survived from the illness but was left permanently unable to see and hear.In this article,three day of sight,we can see,how precious it was as for Helen Keller.What would you want to look at if you had only three days of sight?Helen gives her answer in this famous essay.I always think that people can realize the importance of the sight and sound only after they have personally expericenced the dark and silence life.Darkness would make him more appreciative of sight,silence would teach him the joys of sound.

This short story tell people how Keller take advantage of having the privileges to see,hear,and speak.Some people,unfortunately,are blind,deaf,and mute.These unfortunate people take more time to appreciate life and they are always waiting for the miracle all their life.The author,Helen Keller,is one of such person who is blind,deaf,and mute.She strongly believes that people,who are fortunate to have such senses,take life for granted.She also strongly believes these people should live in the fullest,meaning,accomplish lifes when they can do this today,do not leave it for tomorrow.

你对动物的态度是怎样的呢?是真情对待?还是态度恶劣呢?你又是如何看待和动物之间的关系呢?是当做亲人?还是当做玩具?

今天,我学了一篇文章——《老人海鸥》。故事是这样的:每逢冬季来临,海鸥便成群结队地来到翠湖之畔,老人也像赶赴约会似的,每天到翠湖之畔去喂海鸥,风雨无阻。他视海鸥为儿女,给它们起名字,喂饼干,照顾伤病的海鸥。久而久之,海鸥与老人结下了深厚的情谊。然而有一天,老人去世了。海鸥们在老人的遗像前翻飞盘旋,连声鸣叫,后又肃立不动,像是为老人守灵的白翼”天使“,不忍离开自己的亲人。

读了这篇文章后,我不禁留下了感动的泪水。老人为了海鸥,竟然每天步行二十余里去看海鸥;老人为了海鸥,竟然连自己的衣服破了、旧了也不换,而是为海鸥买食物,老人为了海鸥做出了许多让我们意想不到的事情。海鸥对老人的情谊也是如此的深厚,海鸥竟然为老人吊唁,用自己独特的方式表达着对老人的留恋。善良的老人,纯洁的海鸥,用真情向我们展示了那无私的爱和震撼的情。着怎能不让人为之动容呢?

我原来养过一只小狗,它叫欢欢。从妈妈把它带回家的第一天,我就认定了它是我们家的一份子,是我的朋友。我每天和欢欢一起奔跑、玩耍,快乐极了!每天晚上睡觉前,我都要对它说,晚安!在这一个月里我快乐极了,可是,有一天妈妈却说要把欢欢送走。我留下了不舍的眼泪,欢欢好像也知道它要离开我似的,在这一天里,它时时刻刻都和我在一起,临走的时候,欢欢也伤心地哭了。

世间万物都是有灵性的,遍及天地的爱心是我们这个世界的希望。动物是我们亲密无间的朋友,它们和我们一起组成了丰富、美丽、和谐的世界,让我们和动物和谐相处吧!

篇20:汤姆叔叔的小屋英文读后感

全文共 3036 字

+ 加入清单

Joy depicts the crisis of faith that overes Rabbi Banish of Komarov, who, having buried his four sons and two daughters. Only through the mercy of the God he has denied, manifest in a radiant vision of the dead Rebecca, his beloved youngest daughter, is the rabbi’s belief restored. The sense of wonder and the touch of heavenly joy that linger after the vision dissolves convince Rabbi Banish of the folly of judging God’s actions by human standards. The rabbi has interpreted the apparent tragedy of his children’s premature deaths as evidence of God’s alienation, forgetting that God is by definition inscrutable. That God’s purpose transcends man’s ability to prehend it is made clear to the expiring rabbi when the family dead approach his deathbed with arms outstretched to enfold him among them. For theirs is the kingdom of heaven to which a loving God has called them; and their deaths have evidenced not God’s wrath but his grace.

A version of Rabbi Banish’s deathbed revelation appears to Rabbi Nechemia in Something Is There. At twenty-seven he is already racked by the doubts that torment Rabbi Banish. So shaken is his belief in God that he deserts his rabbinical post in provincial Bechev for the flesh-posts of Warsaw. Although the prostitutes, unclean food, and shady business dealings which he witnesses there hold no attraction for the erstwhile rabbi, they intensify his revulsion from the world created by God and therefore his alienation from God himself. Unlike Rabbi Bainish, whose intimations of immortality and consequent rededication to God precede his radiant deathbed vision, Rabbi Nechemia cannot allay his doubts until the very moment of death, when a light he never knew was there flickered in hid brain.

While his dying words—something is there—resolve his crisis of faith, they e too late to affect the spiritual renewal attained by Rabbi Banish. No explicit promise of immortality, let along of salvation, attends Rabbi Nechemia’s vision. Perhaps grace is accorded Rabbi Banish because his doubt is triggered by devastating personal losses, and withheld from Rabbi Nechemia because his despair is the bitter fruit of idle speculation about the unknown. Whatever the reason, relatively few of Singer’s characters are granted at the moment of death the transcendent vision of unity between man and God that appears to Rabbi Banish in Joy. For the fortunate few, release from time into eternity is affected by a divine visitation which obliterates distinctions between past and present, living and dead.

These kinds of characters are lost in their world because of the seducement of the material world. They doubt their formal faith and gradually give up what they believed. But after they have experienced so much hardship, they realize that they cannot adapt to the life of the outer world so they regress to the former life with formal faith. They realize the importance of God and they begin to think seriously about the relationship between man and God. At last they find their right way of their life.
