This book is simply wonderful.The tales involved are tales of the Persian Gulf,of Bagdhad,Arabia,and tales that we as adults should revisit for some enjoyable light reading that will make us smile and wonder at the old folklore of the Arabian Peninsula.Sinbad the Sailor is in there,as is Aladdin in its original form,and the story begins of a king who is so upset by his wifes unfaithfulness that he will now only accept virgins for one night and then have them killed.A smart virgin begins her night with the infamous king by telling him stories,and she so fascinates him and enthralls him with her tales that the tales turn into folklore for readers of the ages.I wont tell you what happens in the end to the virgin princess,but you will find humor,enchantment,wisdom and fantasy for those times when stress becomes a factor in your life.I highly recommend the tale of "The Historic Fart" as a both funny and inspiring tale of human nature.Please buy this book and remember to become a nine -12 year old again as you read with curiosity and wonder at the fabulous enchanting,lively stories.I was beginning to wish my children were a bit younger so I could read these to them.Any child would enjoy these stories,and any adult will find them simply relaxing and a reflection of medieval Islam.

The story of the magnolias father from the army has been around for a thousand years, and we have been very much admired by the woman named hua mulan.Last year, the school played "mulan" to show the heroic killing of the valiant female general mulan.

Watching this movie is like going through a thrilling battle. The real performance of zhao has infected all the audience.At the beginning of the film, the director deliberately lowered the lens to allow you to see four-fifths of the yellow earth, only a blue-blue sky.In such a barren land, the people of the gentle barbarian, the blood of the human life, the soldiers in the peaceful life, a show in front of the present.The film is only slightly used to coax his father to drink or drink the details of the medicine, he explained to hua mulan from the small learning of the martial arts, and the deep love of the old father.Zhao weis acting without the trace, without the beauty of the big eyes, has already made the character of hua mulans kindness and bravery crystal clear.There are a lot of comments criticizing "mulan" for crying too much, and in my opinion, both zhao wei and Chen kuns cries are in line with the plot development.

Death makes soldiers grow, and sorrow is beyond reproach.When hua mulan led the army to the "dragon", it was almost wiped out.The name of hua mulan in the boundless desert of wentai.Seriously injured in the hua mulan miss staring at this time, back from the dead people in their own cries and screams, at this time no matter the film actor, or theater in the audience was moved to tears and visceral.

The whole atmosphere of mulan is sad, and the emotional entanglements and the cruelty of the war have been intensified.But we still want to thank the director for being able to give the audience a lot of grief

Bring a smile.In fact, from the atmosphere, we can see the director and the writers heart.If the whole film is in a subdued emotional tone, and there is no easy transition to a heavy shift without the ups and downs of the plot, then the overall view of the film is not likely to be so full.

Of course, there are some shortcomings. Most of the scenes in the war scene are in the lens of the scene, and it seems difficult to satisfy the visual impact of the audience.The director understands his own advantages, so his script does not stand in a macho mood to show mulan, but chooses the female perspective to interpret our heroine.He mainly showed how a woman was able to survive and protect her feelings during the war.Heroines have her courage and strength, but also her vulnerability and evasion.So, we can see a full of individual character, image full of hua mulan, with femininity and daughter psychology to show the cruelty of war, and we also can see children affair in the national interest and anti-war feelings show different performance.

篇3:《平凡的世界》读后感初中优秀

人生有太多的无奈,太多的不得已,一件事的存在只是为了去挤压另一件事。为了生存,我们必须要放弃些什么。

平凡的村子,平凡的土地,平凡的农民,平凡的爱情,平凡的亲情,平凡的一切的一切。不像达官富贵般的明争暗斗,他们拥有的是一颗平凡而又炽热的心,一颗能够容得下民众的宽大的心。

沟壑纵横的黄土高原,原始的窑洞生活,黄土铺成的小路来来往往的人,背着锄头,拉着犁。这便是最朴实的劳动人民的生活。书中描述了从大跃进时代到十一届三中全会后的几十年,陕北黄土高原上农村的变化。质朴的农民在这几十年的时间里,经历了新中国的天翻地覆的变化,的倒台,到的结束,到十一届三中全会的召开,一个小小的村庄从大锅饭到分田到户,到新型经济的发展,这一切都无不反映出了中国解放以来人民经济的进步和国家体制的进步。

最欣赏主人公孙少平的刻画,真实、顽强,这样的意志定会鼓舞很多人,脚踏实地的向前。美好而寒酸的初恋,却是靠最简朴的饭食而引起的同病相怜;贫富地位如天壤之别的温暖热烈,却以阴阳之隔而让人荡气回肠,真是欲哭无泪。最后走向的是什么?尽管不得而知,但经历之多,人生历练之厚重,不会阻碍他前进的步伐。

一个人,无论生活在怎样的年代,怎样的背景之下,只要我们用自己的努力,去奋斗,用一颗善良的心,去爱,用一颗勇敢的心,去面对困难,直面我们自己的人生,背起自己的人生责任和理想,去拼搏。这样才能在回忆往事的时候,不会感到后悔。

生活是每个人要面临的最重要的人生课题,我们要学会思考,去做最好的自己。世界,这个华灯异彩的空间,有许多为利益的人,许多为付出的人,一同在人生途中前进忙碌;也同在岁月凡事中,偶尔感到迷茫,偶尔会在隐忍着痛楚、烦恼的同时依旧忙活着。可是却没有人了解生存的意义。都只是在碌碌无为的一生中油尽灯枯。

其实人人都平凡,平凡的世界创造了不平凡的机遇。

也许一些人并不需要努力就可以得到很多,但我们不属于那些人,所以我们就只能在这个平凡的世界中做最平凡的努力,成就不平凡的人生。

但愿自己在今后的人生岁月中,不管是失意落魄,还是辉煌兴奋的时候,都能够想起路遥,想起《平凡的世界》。

在《平凡的世界》中,路遥以史诗般的笔触,讲述了中国70-80年代社会在历史变迁的大背景下,黄土地上双水村普通人的悲欢离合故事。

孙少平为何选择离开砖窑。孙少平在孙少安开砖窑、实现生产责任制需要劳动力、家庭条件好转的情况下仍坚定的离开双水村前往黄原城做小工,我非常的不理解孙少平的选择,因为眼看着家庭的生活将会翻天覆地的变化,安安分分的待在双水村务农和孙少安一起烧转,日子也会过得不错,但他为了所谓的精神追求,把繁重的农活扔给父兄,自己到城里做工,而且也无一技之长,只能干最重的活,拿最少的钱,居无定所像乞丐一般,我觉得非常的不“划算”。但后面从孙少平的角度思考这个问题也有一定的可理解性,孙少平是一个受过教育的农门子弟,在高中时期虽然学校忙于搞“运动”,孙少平学到的东西非常有限,但他通过读课外书及田晓霞的影响,整个人的思维遨游在大千世界里,在双水村教书时期他也坚持着读书和田晓霞的联系,人虽在双水心却在外,他注定不会留在双水安心的做农民。但他又没能考上大学,也无技能,也没靠谱的城市亲戚,找不到体面的工作,只能去东大桥揽工,打短工。经过一段时间磋磨,从外表看孙少平和普通揽工人没什么不同,穿着破烂,皮肤黝黑但他同时又保持了一股读书人的气节,得罪舅舅提醒曹书记石头有血,对曹书记多给的钱坚决不要,下雨天不出工别人呼呼大睡他却坚持读书,还有到电影院看《王子复仇记》,这一切又使他区别于其他农民工。

作为一个“为官者”的态度。说实话田福军在工作上真的是一个很完美的人,有自己的信仰,也能实事求是的工作,更可贵的是身上没有一点“官架子”,经常到基层调研,我印象很深的一次调研是他还在原西做常委时到一个公社去调研,去的都是最偏远的地方,有些地方连公社干部都不清楚甚至都没去过,他一个人到这些地方去查看农民的实际生产生活情况,还有一次就是他初上任为黄原行政专员,看到老百姓挤公交艰难不已,亲自带着一群市领导体验坐公交以督促改善黄原的公交及城市面貌。田福军身上有一种真正的从骨子里散发出来的爱民情怀,我想这同他的出生是分不开的,他也是来自一个农民的家庭,也许天赋异禀,还有后天的努力,他读了大学而且还是中国人民大学,他的农村生活和他的大学生活造就了他完善的人格,我想若是孙少平或孙少安也读了大学估计也会像他一般吧。对穷苦大众的感同身受应该是每一个“为官者”都应该具备的品格吧。

做一个出色的“煤矿工人”。孙少平如愿的成为了煤炭工人,在他成为正式的煤炭工人前也有一点小插曲,也许是太过于重视这次机会,孙少平在体检时血压过高,虽然还能再复查一次但孙少平还是很紧张怕复查时再出问题,那他就当不成工人,改变不了他农民的身份,这种情况大多数人都会遇到,当遇到一个改变自己命运的机会时会不自觉的为自己设置障碍,本来不会出问题的小事就变成阻碍自己的拦路虎。孙少平找到了检查的医生,希望她能帮帮忙放他一马,医生告诉他不要紧张,若是真担心就喝醋降血压。最后孙少平血压降低,成了正式的煤炭工人。刚到煤矿时孙少平和同伙比起来是寒酸的,没有被褥,穿着破烂,而且是纯粹的农家子弟,其他人基本上是干部的子弟(因为中国的户籍制度随母),他们看不上孙少平,但是孙少平靠着吃苦耐劳靠着劳动成为他们当中的“阔佬”,在劳动面前人人平等,人们靠着劳动赢得他人的尊重。

命运弄人,生活应该继续。田晓霞死了,在洪灾中为了救助更年轻的生命死了,她死亡后孙少平痛苦不堪,他的痛苦也让读者身同体会,也感到命运弄人,田晓霞如此完美无暇的女子居然红颜薄命,她的善良和正义,巾帼不让须眉,她和少平的爱情自然也无法圆满了,但她一直活在少平的心里,指引着少平前进。少平为缓解痛苦拼命的劳动,他的悍劲和勤劳让他在工人里很有威信,矿上升他为班长,他对待手下智慧又体贴,还解决了矿上秋收季节矿工出勤率低的问题,果然金子是会发亮的,一个勤劳又上进的人在哪里都能发出耀眼的光芒。他和惠英嫂同病相怜,都失去了爱人,他没事就去帮惠英嫂做家务,在嫂子家他感到温暖和踏实。孙少安也历经波折后东山再起,兰香和吴仲平的关系也被吴家所承认,一切都在朝着好的方面发展。田福军到省里后也很快的展示出他的才能,他没有在巨大的管理困难前退缩也没有在丧女之痛中消沉,他不断的解决着老百姓的切身问题,辛勤的处理着政务,他应是所有从政者的榜样,百姓有这样的父母官是幸运的。

我奋力的读完了这本长篇巨著,但不知是年龄大了还是对于感情没有那么多感受了,对于脉脉温情的故事我确实读不太来,反而对现实主义题材的书能读进去几分,特别是平凡的世界里对农村在“十三中”全会前后的思想、生活、文化、政治的相关描述让我相见恨晚,只想说自己为什么不早读,通过这些对农村认识更深,农村的确是广阔的天地,正如书中所说精人、能人多如星斗,感觉全书都很赞扬劳动,劳动能让一个平凡人获得尊严,通过劳动、坚持和奋斗能够改变命运。孙家从一个烂包的家到全公社甚至全县赞扬,真是30年河东,30年河西。里面也塑造了一些正面的领导干部当然也描述了一些领导干部的政治生活,得以让我等小民窥见一二。在我心中这是一部最好的现实主义小说没有之一。里面的有些道理还值得我去细细的品味,对于我们这些普通人、这些平凡人应该采用怎样的态度去过完自己的一生。正如书中所述“生活中真正的勇士向来默默无闻,喧哗不止的永远是自视高贵的一群”这是一种低调的人生态度,不求他人关注,不求他人认同,只求默默的朝着自己目标前进,犹如那朝圣的人一样在沙漠中朝着圣地行进。

For the two months of summer vacation, I want a full, so I had the pleasure of reading the famous French novelist Maupassants "Boule de Suif". In addition to the book "Boule de Suif", there are other three stories, and I personally enjoy "Boule de Suif" this one.

The contents of this paper is based on the background of the Franco Prussian War, the hero is a living in the bottom of society, discrimination of prostitutes, a French coach before leaving the territory, was a Prussian Officer detained officers asked Boule de Suif to spend the night with him, otherwise the coach will not pass, but the ball of fat for his patriotism, resolutely refused.

At the same time, we are lucky to think that we are not living in the extraordinary circumstances. But if we do not know how to cherish, and people are wearing a "Mask", the way people are seeking whether can benefit from them, then our society will become very dim, there is no laughter. I do not want to see such a society exists, but also requires us to be honest with each other, trust each other and help each other. Every little bit to build it up, if you plant the seeds you false display of affection, will only get baoqingguayi fruit.

I believe that each person will be happy when he is sincere. Its pathetic to wear masks and money related relationships, so we need to eliminate the barriers in good faith. With sincerity to move around the relatives and friends, to create a harmonious, happy society! Let this world is full of love.

对于两个月的暑假,我想过的充实一点,于是我有幸的阅读了法国着名短篇小说家莫泊桑的《羊脂球》。书中除了《羊脂球》,还有其他三十几篇短篇小说,而我个人比较欣赏《羊脂球》这一篇。

文中内容是以普法战争为背景,主人公是一位生活在社会最底层,受人歧视的xx,有一辆法国的驿车在离开敌区时,被一名普鲁士军官扣留,军官要求羊脂球陪他过夜,否则驿车就不能通过,但是羊脂球出于自己爱国之心,毅然拒绝。可是同车上的有身份的乘客为了自身利益,逼她为了大家而牺牲自己,在无情的威胁之下,羊脂球被迫做出无奈的选择,救了大家。然而当第二天驿车出发时,那些乘客很无情的疏远她,不再与她讲话。仿佛她是一个病毒一般,完全忘了自己的自由是她牺牲自己换来的。

文章用简洁的语言,强烈的对比,把那些拥有高贵身份的人的假仁假义,雍容华贵的外表下的丑恶嘴脸给淋漓尽致的揭露出来不禁对这些伪君子起了愤恨之心,人性的美与丑展现出来,对于那个时期的法国没有人情味的勾心斗角,自私自利的社会,更让我们感觉到人与人之间应该真诚的相待,充满关爱,相互帮助的氛围之下的社会是多么的温暖。与此同时,想到现在的我们,我们是幸运的,没有生活在那非常时期的环境里。但是如果我们不懂得珍惜,与人相处都戴着“假面具”,为人处事都贪图是否能从其中获得利益,那么我们的社会将会变得非常的暗淡,世间便再也没有了欢笑。我不希望看到这样的社会存在着,也是需要我们人与人之间互相坦诚,互相信任,互相帮助。一点一滴去建造起来的,如果你种下虚情假意的种子,那么你也只会得到薄情寡义的果实。

我相信真诚的对待每个人才会快乐。戴着面具以金钱利益的人际关系是令人可悲的,所以我们需要诚心消除隔膜。用诚意去打动身边的亲人,朋友,共创一个和谐,快乐的社会!让这个世界充满爱。

每一个灵魂来到这个世界上都是孤独的。很快就成为了这片热土上寂寞的行者,一步一步的向前走着!!!

少安在故事里是以生产队队长的身份出场的,这就注定了作者给以了他最高的赞扬。因为这是一部以底层劳动者为背景的作品,生产队长是最基层最实在的劳动领导者。因为在那个年代,一个小队村民生计几乎是由生产队长决定的,如果队长领导有方那么这一组的人们在冬季至少不会挨饿受冻了。在那个把温饱放在第一位的时代里,由此可见作者对于少安的定格是予以最高赞扬的。很肯定的说这个故事里的第一主角就是孙少安了。

在这里笔者是按着时间的顺序介绍的孙少安这个角色。。。。。

少安出生在一个黄土高原双水村贫苦的农民家庭,在他六岁之前过着无忧无虑的幸福童年生活。因为他有着一个非常好的玩伴,那就是这个故事里的一个女性角色-----田润叶。正所谓人如其名,她在故事里是一位具有先进思想的新时代女性。她善良朴实,人如其名的用自己的爱滋润着每一个她爱着的人。当然,毫不例外的她深深爱着孙少安这位青梅竹马的男人。(这里是少年孙少安暂且不讲述他们的爱情故事)在他们的童年里不分你我的过着每一个孩子应有的幸福快乐的生活----春天他们到阳土坡上刨刨发芽的“蛮蛮草”根,这草根嚼在嘴里又麻又辣,也是他们春天里尝到的第一口鲜物;夏天里就光着屁股在哭咽河里戏水;秋天,是黄土高原的黄金季节。他们一群孩子就在野外寻找一切可以吃的东西,常常把肚皮撑得回家连饭也不好好吃,在这个季节反而都消瘦下来;冬天一起猫冬,一起去冰上捡别人扔的花瓷片,这也是那个穷苦岁月里他们唯一的玩具。正是两小无猜的年纪,他们像一家的亲兄妹一样形影不离。

直到有一天,父亲给他契起一把小镢头,又给他盘了一根小绳,说:“少安,你也大了,应该出去干点活了。跟爸砍柴去吧!”然而最为懂事的少安,在六岁的那年以一个小男人的姿态结束了这一切。之后他就默默的为这个家奉献着自己小男人的力量。母亲不忍心烧他砍得柴,在家里垛起了一座小柴山,也引来了友邻们对他的赞扬。因为在这种地方能劳动就是好样的!!!

后来村里有了小学,在润叶的帮助下,他们一起进了小学。上了小学以后,由于他二叔结婚。导致家里一贫如洗,课间孩子们都做游戏。唯独她一个人,不敢加入。因为他穿的棉库已经漏肉了,同时又遭到调皮同学的捉弄。放学后他躲在金家祖坟的后面大哭一场,这时懂事的小润叶,正好在家里拿了针线帮他缝上了坏掉的裤子。就这样他们又欢声笑语的回家去了。他的成绩一直很好,总是班里的前两名。之后他们以优异的成绩考进了石圪节高小,全公社的考生中他名列第一,那时候家里就勉强的支付着他可怜的费用。

但是当他上完两年高小,却再不能去县城上中学了。那时石圪节还没有中学,要上初中就得到县城去。到那里去上学,对一个农民家庭来说,可不是一件容易事。再不能跑回家吃饭了,要月月交硬正粮食,还要买菜票,更不要说其它花费也大多了。而同时,弟弟少平也在村里上了学。他父亲再也供不起他了。他已经十三岁,不用父亲说,自己也知道不能去城里读书了。他对父亲说:“爸爸,我回来劳动呀。我已经上到了高小,这也不容易了,多少算有了点文化。就是以后在村里劳动,也不睁眼睛受罪了。我回来,咱们两个人劳动,一定要把少平和兰香的书供成。只要他两个有本事,能考到哪里,咱们就把他们供到哪里。哪怕他们出国留洋。咱们也挣命供他们吧!他们念成了,和我念成一样。不过,爸爸,我只是想进一回初中的考场;我要给村里村外的人证明,我不上中学,不是因为我考不上!”

他父亲在他面前抱住头痛哭流涕。他第一次看见刚强的父亲在他面前流泪。他自己也哭了。是的,他将要和学校的大门永远地告别了。他多么不情愿啊!他理解父亲的痛苦——爸爸也不愿意断送他的前程……就这样,他参加了全县升初中的统一考试。在全县几千名考生中,他名列第三被录取了。他的学生生涯随着这张录取通知书的到来,也就完全终结了!尽管润叶跑到他家来,又象他上小学时一样,哭着让他到城里去报名。但这回用不着父母亲给她解释,他自己就象一个成熟的大人那样,给润叶说明他为什么不能再上学了……当润叶坐着金俊海的汽车离开村子的时候,他一个人偷偷地躲在公路上面的土圪崂里,泪流满面地看着她出了村。别了,我童年的朋友!我们将各走各的路了,我会永远记着我们过去的一切……

年少的少安以果敢坚毅,热情的执着开始了他务农生涯。也就这样他正式沦为黄土高原上的一位寂寞的行者,但是它却用自己不断努力和辛勤的汗水浇灌着这段旅程,尽力让他显得精彩而与众不同。不错,在他后来的努力中用最切实的拼打证明了这一切。好男儿不枉人世走一遭,他的存在也描述了每一位朴素农民的穷苦生活。他们靠大自然的宠爱生存,敬天爱地!!!在困难面前却从未屈服!!!

"Trust, tend to create a better state." Have you heard of this sentence? At first, Im not very deep impression of the words, but I saw the les miserables this book, I feel trust is an important thing.

Jean valjean was the hero of the story, he experienced the jail for a long time, finally got the freedom, but who also dont believe him, in the plight of the destitute, he got the bishop - MiLiYi care. However, because of jean valjean was a convict, people can not accept him, no one has seen him. Wait for him again, he is ready to help others, the people did not know he was jean valjean, all like him. Unfortunately, not for long, he was arrested again, forced labor in the ship. At work, a seaman accidentally fell into the sea, he saved sailors, himself fell into the sea! But he didnt die, during the French revolution of the battlefield, he is fearless, fighting in the bullets, rescue by people.

But when people know that he is jean valjean, pairs of cold eyes looked at him, eyes full of hate. This means that if other people dont believe you, you in any way to hard to erase their SINS, let people believe in you.

All of this shows that you trust others, others will feel very good, also will trust you. When two people trust each other, or the more people trust each other, the world will be how beautiful.

“信赖,往往创造出美好的境界。”你听过这句话吗?最初,我对这句话的印象不是很深,但我看了《悲惨世界》这一本书后,就觉得信赖是一个重要的东西。

冉阿让是故事的主人公,他经历了长期的牢狱之苦,终于得到了自由,但谁也不在相信他了,在这衣食无着的困境里,他得到了主教——米里艾的关照。然而,因为冉阿让曾经是一个苦役犯,人们无法接受他,从此谁也没见过他。等他再次出现,他很乐于助人,人们不知道他就是冉阿让,都很喜欢他。可惜,好景不长,他又一次被捕了,在船上服苦役。一个海员在工作时,不小心掉进大海,他救了海员,自己却掉进大海里!但他没有死,在法国大革命的战场上,他英勇无畏,在枪林弹雨中战斗,救助被人。

可当人们知道他是冉阿让的时候,一双双冷酷的眼睛望着他,眼里充满了憎恨。这说明,如果别人不相信你,你用任何办法都很难擦除自己的罪过,让人相信你。

这都说明,你信任别人,别人会觉得很好,也会信任你;当两人互相信任,或者是更多的人互相信任,这个世界将是多么美好。

20岁的时候读此书,只为少安与润叶,少平与晓霞的爱情静静地流了好多眼泪。

20多年过去了,重读又是别样的思绪。剧中的孙少平,不管周围的环境如何,他始终活在自己的世里,读书是他最大的乐趣,走出去是他最大的梦想,尽管他最后还是一名平凡矿工。他有责任担当,不怕困难挑起家庭重担,照顾上学的妹妹;他是勇敢的追梦人,离开双水村去闯世界;他敢于审视自己,解剖自己,接受晓霞的爱,婉拒秀的深情。他是一个为了自己理想不停奋斗的年轻人,谁也不知道自己的未来会怎么样,但是却从没停下前进的步伐,默默无闻的奋斗着,虽然最终仍成为了一个平凡的人。

路遥先生所说的平凡并不是简简单单的平凡,它是经历过艰苦奋斗之后的一种释然的心态,即使是平凡的人,也应该有梦想,并为之不懈的努力。从这个意义上讲,平凡并不适用于一个没有追求,每天混日子的人,那只能算是平庸。

Every girl can be a princess, even though she lives in a low attic, even though she is in shabby clothes, even though she is not beautiful, nevertheless, she can be a real princess at heart.

A Little Princess is a touching novel written by Frances Hodgson Burnett—a famous novelist and dramatist. It obviously contains lots of fancied plots, but the parts it talks about creating miracles, can really reach the bottom of my heart. The book can bring me into a world that is more than reality while reading it. The extraordinary story makes me ponder a lot and gives me a deep impression that every girl can be a princess.

In my opinion, it is impossible for every rich girl to act like a well-behaved princess, but Sara, the heroine of the novel, did it! She was an imaginative little girl who had such intelligent small face and such perfect manners. Sara was a very nice girl who had a gentle, appreciative ways of saying, such as “If you please” “Thank you” which was very charming. So, not only her teachers and classmates liked her, but also her servants liked her. There was a time when Sara became a poor and pitiful servant insulted by the snobbish headmaster of the school. In spite of this, she had never complained to anyone about the horrible suffering she had endured. Sara was confident, brave, optimistic and kind-hearted just like before and she had never given up her enthusiasm of life. No matter when, Sara acted like a princess, and on account of this, she had accomplished a GREat deal of miracles over and over again.

After reading this outstanding book, I was shocked by Sara, a little girl who suffered such unimaginable pain and tortures, but still had an opposite attitude towards life. What impresses me most is that Sara put on her act of being a princess when she wore thin bottom shoes, wading in the street of London. From my point of view, her spirit of being so strong-minded when she was in hard times is worth admiring.

Truly, every girl is a princess coming into common life. The “princess” I mean is not a princess living in the palace and being regarded as the apple of everyone’s eye. As the matter of fact, the “princess” is at heart. I am in the belief that every ordinary girl in the world can be a princess. The way for a girl to be a princess is quite simple. Just suppose! You can suppose yourself to be a princess, and go about your business confidently without caring how the others would treat you. If you want to have more resemblance to a princess, be more kind and try your best to help the people in need. The most important thing you are supposed to do is that to feel like a real princess at any occasion, particularly when you are involved with enormous melancholy. Do not feel the conditions you faced are extremely wretched and attempt to get rid of the feeling of hopelessness and uneasiness. The less you look like a princess, the more you need to feel like a princess at heart.

Every girl can be a princess if she can do all I mentioned, no matter she is rich, beautiful or not. To speak truthfully, I cannot do as well as Sara. However, I will exert myself on being a princess mentally.

Do not feel depressed any more, to be a well-thought-of princess like Sara. You can do it, because Every Girl Can Be A princess.

每个女孩都可以成为公主,虽然她生活在一个低的阁楼,虽然她是在破旧的衣服,即使她不漂亮,但是,她可以是一个真正的公主的心。

一个小公主是一个感人的小说写的弗朗西斯霍奇森Burnett-a著名的小说家和剧作家。显然,它包含许多虚构的情节,但部分谈到创造奇迹,真的可以到达心底。这本书能让我变成了一个比现实世界更在阅读它。非凡的故事让我思考了很多,给了我一个深刻的印象,每个女孩都可以成为公主。

在我看来,每一个富有的女孩不可能像一个行为端正的公主,但莎拉,小说的女主人公,做到了!她是一个富有想象力的小女孩有这样聪明的小脸上,这样完美的礼仪。莎拉是一个非常漂亮的女孩有一个温柔的,欣赏的方式说,如“请”“谢谢”这非常迷人。不仅如此,她的老师和同学喜欢她,而且她的仆人喜欢她。曾经有一段时间,萨拉成为了贫穷和可怜的仆人侮辱了势利的校长的学校。尽管如此,她从未向任何人抱怨她经历了可怕的痛苦。莎拉是自信,勇敢,乐观,善良,就像之前,她从来没有放弃她的生活热情。无论何时,莎拉就像一位公主,因为这,她完成了大量的奇迹一次又一次。

读完这本优秀的书,我震惊莎拉,一个小女孩遭受难以想象的痛苦和折磨,但仍有一个相反的生活态度。让我印象最深刻的是,萨拉穿上她的公主,当她穿薄底鞋,涉水在伦敦的街头。从我的观点来看,她的精神意志坚强的她在困难时期值得欣赏。

真的,每一个女孩都是公主进入共同生活。“公主”我的意思是说不是一个公主住在皇宫,被视为每个人的的掌上明珠。事实上,“公主”的心。我相信世界上每一个普通的女孩可以是一个公主。为一个女孩是公主非常简单。只是假设!你可以假设自己是一个公主,自信地去做自己的事不关心别人如何对待你。公主如果你想有更多的相似之处,更善良,尽你最大的努力去帮助那些需要帮助的人。最重要的事情你应该做的是,觉得自己像一个真正的公主在任何场合,特别是当你涉及巨大的忧郁。不觉得你面临的情况非常可怜,试图摆脱绝望和不安的感觉。你看起来像个公主越少,你越需要感觉自己像个公主一样的心。

每个女孩都可以成为公主如果她能做所有我提到的,不管她是富裕,美丽的或不。如实说,我不能做以及莎拉。然而,我将发挥自己作为一个公主的精神。

不要感到沮丧,是一个受尊敬的公主像莎拉。你能做到,因为每个女孩都可以成为公主。

喜欢《平凡的世界》是因为这本书名既质朴又鲜明,既独特有贴切,有一种洗尽铅华,尘埃落尽的感觉,主要写出了对农民的深刻理解,作为一个农村出来的我,对此书感触很多,对书中的内容深有体会,可以说我从出生到现在也受过很多的磨难,但和书中的孙少平和孙少安相比这根本算不了什么。当初第一次翻开这本书就再也舍不得放下了,书中的故事情节和主人公一波三折的命运深深打动我。我整整花了两天的时间,将厚重的上百万字小说一口气看完。主人公孙少平那种艰苦奋斗的精神,那种“不抛弃,不放弃”的勇气和执著,让我全身充满了力量和斗志。

最近,又一次拜读《平凡的世界》,依旧是感慨良多,又使我想起了小时候和发生在我们那个年代的很多事.........然而,却对“平凡”二字有了更加深刻的理解——“平凡并不等于平庸。”在“平凡的世界”中,我愿如路遥笔下的人物一样,体验平凡,超越平凡,在人生道路上洒下一片光芒!

读完《平凡的世界》花了我比较长的时间,但是它是值得的,让我受益匪浅。它让我感觉到了,读书是真的一种很好的体验。我就跟着路遥的笔进入了那黄土高原,窑洞的世界,对于长于南方的我来说,真是一种很新奇的体验,跟着里面的人物,体验了黄土高原的风俗民情。里面各个人物的生活命运,都让我挂念,我的心就随之一起一落。

百万的文字里作者不仅仅讲了一个人,他讲了很多人的故事,这些人相互联系,参与了彼此的人生,每个人的人生都不一样,都对彼此的人生产生了或大或小的影响。不得不令人赞叹的是,作者把这些人的故事或者说人生都描写的很自然很有代表性,他们都是不同的,有不同的家庭出身,有不同的经历,人生也是不同的。

看过这本书之后我明白了,生活中并没有所谓的主人公,每个人都有自己的人生。

金波和那位藏族姑娘的故事让我印象深刻,多年之后,金波终于再去找他的姑娘时,我心里其实知道他八成是找不回了,却又在暗暗的希冀着奇迹的到来,但是在金波唱完那支歌后,我知道已经不可能了。

生活并不总是圆满的,秀莲苦尽甘来,多年操劳,却突患肺癌。生活又不是完全无情的,李向前等了那么久润叶的爱,却突失双腿,本以为一切无望时,爱情却又来临,甚至后来和最爱的润叶有了儿子。这可能是有得必有失,有失必有得?

我真的由衷钦佩路遥先生,每个人的形象都是塑造地如此饱满,他们中间有旧地主的儿子,有穷苦了大半辈子的贫下中农,有仅读了小学的人,有上了高等学府的人,有人的好年华在谢幕,有人的青春正茂,有人在冉冉升起。春去春来,我看着少平金波他们,慢慢成熟,长大,意识到自己的责任,担当起来,而田福堂他们随着时代的改变,慢慢衰老,成为过去。这其中种种人物,都可以代表那个时代中国的老百姓的变迁。

他们的故事还没有结束,人生不会一帆风顺,苦难与挫折与快乐相伴而行,没有最终的结局。我想我看到最后已经能够坦然接受,生活仍是值得热爱的。

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 panion 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 ersonality.

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.

"Father and son" is a humorous cartoon. I have read the book three times.

When I first read the book, my mother heard the laughter coming from the study room. Indeed, the book is very interesting, and father and son often make jokes. For example, "sunset map": his father is a bald. One day, father read a newspaper on the sofa. The son called his companion, and showed him half the bald head of his sofa as a sunset, drawing on the sofa, and adding a picture frame. The father suddenly turned, and the setting sun had eyebrows, eyes, whiskers, ears. Father humor, simple, kind and playful, son smart, naive, cute and naughty, these two characters are very popular with everyone.

The second time I read this book, I felt the deep affection between father and son. One of the comic stories goes like this: the father and his son go to the seaside for a holiday. The son found a lot of pebbles on the beach and threw stones into the sea until he could not find any stones. Father saw, in the evening, pushing the car, over and over to the seaside to transport stones. The second day, the son found a pile of stones piled on the beach, very happy. My father was pleased to see it. I carefully observed fifth cartoons, found his father for his son to transport a pebble, sweat a lot. My father did everything for his son, and his son loved his father. He also made me cry.

When I read the book third times, I went abroad to combine the preface to know that E O Plauen created the father and son in the dark age when the Nazi fascist ruled germany. This warm, touching the cartoons was in the years of turmoil of creation, he is really a positive and optimistic person, is a person who is very loving son. He is a good painter concerned. He did not like some people in order to save life and property and surrender to the Nazis, he boldly created anti Nazi cartoons. But such a master of humour was mercilessly killed by the evil fascist. I think, while we praise the father and the son, we should praise their Creator, egypt. Austria. Rauen.

I read three times "father and son", and every time there was a new discovery. I hope I read every good book.

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.

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。

当然,这样说并不意味着我将从此成为一个收起锋芒的中庸的人,我是一个手中有着大把青春年华的年轻人,处在我这样的一个年纪,应该是努力奋发的,应该像少平那样不向任何困难低头。再想路遥写作这本书,也不是在他的年轻岁月,而是在经历了大起大落的40多岁。

我想读了《平凡的世界》,最大的收获就是,让我能够认识到平凡的人的平凡的生活是最伟大的,能够让我在努力奋斗的同时提醒自己保持一颗平凡的心。

Let me just start by saying that I had been put off reading Thomas Hardye by Dickens. Having really struggled with Dickens and resorted to audio I had wrongly assumed that all 19C liturature was the same. How wrong I could be. From the first paragraph where the opening character farmer Gabriel Oak is desribed smiling, ‘the corners of his mouth spread till they were an unimportant distance from his ears‘ I fell in love with Hardy‘s narrative. His ability to use words that lift the description off the page and into the reader‘s imagination are not just outstanding but incredibly enjoyable.

I went into this book blindly, knowing little about the plot that lay ahead or even the genre. It has been described by some as romantic fiction. But I think this is too simplistic a title and and maybe slightly off-putting to some. Hardye steps into Greek Tragedy when the unwitting and churlish actions of our young protagonist, Bathsheba Everdene, result in a love tryst between three suitors with tragic consequenses.

The book is essentially a journey for Bathsheba into womanhood not unlike the journey that Scarlett O‘Hara makes in Gone with the Wind who also has to overcome great tragedy in order to realise her own strength. Unlike this heroin, however, Bathsheba is more the instrument of chaos and indecion and part of her journey is that she accepts what she has caused and tries to make it right.

Hardye avoids making this into moral stricture but deviates from the Greek Tragedy model by giving us a happy ending not atypical of 19C serialised fiction.

Quite often an author‘s voice creeps into their writing and the reader becomes aware that they are not in fact walking the hills and dales of fictional Wessex but are at the pen nib of a writ
