一个善良的小男孩，一个忧郁的小男孩，一个倔强的小男孩，这个小男孩就是《雾都孤儿》中的主人公奥利弗。

奥利弗是个孤儿，在济贫院中长大，因饥饿向厨师要粥喝而被送到棺材铺当学徒。受尽凌辱后逃到伦敦。在那儿，他误入贼窝，被费金指使行窃，作案时被抓住。失主布朗洛收养了他，但他又被女贼南希抓回，跟随赛克斯行窃，行窃失败，又被主人家收养。南希得知了奥利弗的身世，告知罗斯，因此被赛克斯杀害。最后，奥利弗依法继承父亲财产，盗窃团伙受到法律严惩。

《雾都孤儿》吸引我的不仅是它的故事情节，还给我带来了许多的启迪，其中最重要的一点是：我们每个人都要有爱心，都要乐于助人。我们生活中就有这样的例子。在2008年5.12大地震中，全国人民万众一心，众志成城：解放军叔叔不怕辛苦，日夜解救埋在废墟下的幸存者;街头的红十字采血车上，很多叔叔阿姨将自己的爱心奉献出来，用他们的鲜血挽救那些生命垂危的病人，这些充满爱心的鲜血汇成生命的长河;大批的志愿者赶赴灾区，献出自己的一份力;大批的物资从各地运送到灾区;小学生们也纷纷用零花钱为灾区捐款，一元钱的力量也许很小，只是杯水车薪，但汇集着无数爱心的无数个一元钱，它的力量却很大，灾区的人民一定能体会我们的爱心，感受到大家庭的温暖……这体现出了我们全国人民的爱心和我们乐于助人的精神。

对人民我们要有爱心，对动物植物我们也要有爱心。我们人类和动物植物是最亲密的伙伴，没有了它们，我们会觉得寂寞。我们要爱惜动物，爱惜一花一草，一树一木，这样，我们的世界才能更可爱更美好。

爱心是一朵花，一朵美丽奇妙的花;爱心是一首歌，一首焕发向上的歌;爱心是一股泉，一股清澈透亮的泉。让我们每个人都献出一点爱心，让世界变得更美好!

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 byElizabeth 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.

As was the common practice with the gods of Olympus,Zeus and Hermes were visiting the world in disguise．One day they came to a village．At a thousand house sthey knocked,and a thousand times they were refused rest and food and drink．At last they arrived at a humble cottage,where the old couple Baucis and her husband Philemon lived．Poor but at peace with world,they made the best of what life could offer them ,and felt truly grateful to the gods above．When the two travellers entered the hut,the old couple were glad with lively happiness．They offered their guests their best seat,and immediately set about preparing dinner for them．With no small difficulty they made fire,brought in a fresh cabbage,cut a fat piece of their long kept meat and put them over the fire to cook．The one single goose they were ready to kill for the visitors,but it was saved at the last minute by the guests．The dining bench was a makeshift ,poor and patched but the best they had．The table was supported by a brick．The feast was quite modest,eggs and wine and cot tage cheese,and a variety of newly pickedfruit．The old couple humbly waited on the visiting guests withsincere looks and eager goodwill．Moved at the hospitality ofthe house,the gods told their true identity．“We are gods”,saidZeus．“While the neigh bour hood pays the penalty for itswickedness you shall be free from misfortune．Coming along with us”．When they were near the top of the hill,Bancis and Phile mon looked back and saw all the village below covered by amarsh ,and that among the general ruin and destruction their old cottage alone survived,changed into a grand temple．At their request they were made the guardians of the sacred place of Zeus．When their span of worldly life came to an end they were turned into an ash and linden,standing side by side in front of the temple．

导语：《穆斯林的葬礼》通过一个穆斯林家族六十年间的兴衰,三代人命运的沉浮,描写了两个发生在不同时代、有着不同内容却又交错扭结的爱情悲剧。下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的英语读后感，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!​

Novels written by very real, whether history, religion, arts and crafts, or peoples feelings. Although I dont know about a lot of history, the Muslim religious culture, I dont know much, but finish reading this book, just think, a lot of things seem so real in front, big to a funeral, small to a piece of jade.

Said the authors in the order of the hero and I live together. From morning till night and day and night. I joy and happiness for them, for their suffering and pain. I have to and I separated. When I send them one by one from the world, I was unbearable with life and death to leave." In the story, however, still want to leave, one after another, lined up and slowly to leave. Tragedy is inevitable.

The deepest impression is that tze-ki hon in London to send home to the letter. A letter, but also is simply a word - "we are still alive. You still alive?" Still alive... In such a turbulent years of the war, written letter is such, so greetings, my in the mind a burst of sad, a drop of tears to fall.

In the thick book, you can see two generations of beautiful love, see the love of the helpless and sad. Sometimes we are really in love with, but also because of love, would feel helpless, make something hurt others also hurt yourself.

【参考译文】

小说写的很真实，无论是历史，宗教，手工艺，还是人的感情。虽然有关很多历史我都不太清楚，穆斯林的宗教文化我也不甚了解，但是看完这书，就是觉得，很多东西好像就那么真真切切的放在面前，大到一个葬礼，小到一块玉。

作者在后序中说，“我和主人公一起生活。每天从早到晚，又夜以继日。我为他们的欢乐而欢乐，为他们的痛苦而痛苦。我已经舍不得和我的人物分开。当我把他们一个一个地送离人间的时候，我被生死离别折磨得痛彻肺腑。”然而故事中的人，还是要离开，一个又一个，排着队似的，不紧不慢地离开。悲剧故事都不可避免的如此。

印象最深的是，韩子奇身处英国伦敦时给家里寄去的那封信。说是一封信，却也只是简单的一句话——“我们还活着。你们还活着吗?”还活着吗……在那样一个战争动乱年间，信竟然是这样写的，如此的问候，我心里一阵凄凉，一滴眼泪往下落。

在这本厚重的书里，可以看到两代人的凄美爱情，看到爱情中的无奈和悲哀。有时候我们确实是爱着的，但也因为爱着，才会感到无奈，做出些伤到别人也伤到自己的事。

Thoughts or reflections on reading Wuthering Heights

The book was written by Emily Bronte, it published in 1847.But at that time, it seemed to hold little promise, selling very poorly and receiving only a few mixed reviews. I found this in our school library, I chose this book because the title attracted me. The book is structured around two parallel love stories, the first half of the novel centering on the love between Catherine and Heathcliff, while the less dramatic second half features the developing love between young Catherine and Hareton. In contrast to the first, the latter tale ends happily, restoring peace and order to Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange. In the story, the two houses, Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange, represent opposing worlds and values.

I spent twenty days reading this book. After reading this book, I felt for Heathcliff at first. Heathcliff begins his life as a homeless orphan on the streets of Liverpool, and then he tyrannized by Hindley Earnshaw. But he becomes a villain when he acquires power and returns to Wuthering Heights with money and the trappings of a gentleman. His malevolence proves so great and long—lasting. As he himself points out, his abuse of Isabella—his wife is purely sadistic, as he amuses himself by seeing how much abuse she can take and still come cringing back for more.

Catherine represents wild nature, in both her high, lively spirits and her occasional cruelty. She loves Heathcliff so intensely that she claims they are the same person. However, her actions are driven in part by her social ambitions, which initially are awakened during her first stay at the Lintons, and which eventually compel her to marry Edgar. Catherine is free—spirited, beautiful, spoiled, and often arrogant, she is given to fits of temper, and she is torn between her both of the men who love her. The location of her coffin symbolizes the conflict that tears apart her short life. She is buried in a corner of the Kirkyard. In contrast to Catherine, Isabella Linton—Catherine’s sister—in—law represents culture and civilization, both in her refinement and in her weakness. Ultimately, she ruins her life by falling in love with Heathcliff. He never returns her feelings and treats her as a meretool in his quest for revenge on the Linton family.

Just as Isabella Linton serves as Catherine’s foil, Edgar Linton serves as Heathcliff’s. Edgar grows into a tender, constant, but cowardly man. He is almost the ideal gentleman. However, this full assortment of gentlemanly characteristics, along with his civilized virtues, proves useless in Edgar’s clashes with his foil. He sees his wife obviously in love with another man but unable to do anything to rectify the situation. Heathcliff, who gains power over his wife, sister , and daughter.

The whole story make people’s mood heavy. Fortunately, the end is happy.

The author Emily Bronte lived an eccentric, closely guarded life. She was born in 1818, two years after Charlotte—the author of Jane Eyre and a year and a half before her sister Anne, who also became an author. Her father worked as a church rector, and her aunt, who raised the Bronte children after their mother died, was deeply religious. Emily Bronte did not take to her aunt’s Christian fervor, the character of Joseph, a caricature of an evangelical, may have been inspired by her aunt’s religiosity. The Brontes lived in Haworth, a Yorkshire village in the midst of the moors. These wild, desolate expanses—later the setting of Wuthering Heights—made up the Brontes daily environment, and Emily lived among them her entire life. She died in 1848, at the age of thirty.

I like this book because it rest on the unforgettable characters. Wuthering Heights is based partly on the Gothic tradition, a style of literature that featured supernatural encounters, crumbling ruins, moonless nights, and grotesque imagery, seeking to create effects of mystery and fear. I would like to recommend this book to other readers.

Helen Keller today read this book, I benefited greatly!

"Helen. Keller," This article describes the life of Helen sad but tenacious. The age of one in Helen, she was due to serious illness led to a blind and deaf. But Helen did not give up, still hard to learn, learning to speak. Emperor it pays off, Helen finally learned to talk, admitted to the university, became a world celebrity.

Helen Keller difficulties do not retreat, but the courage to overcome difficulties, to me? Once, my father taught me to ride, I always do not mind, falling again and again, failed again and again, always feel impatient and always want to give up, so get in their studies. But after reading this article, Helen Keller brave defeat the disease of the spirit moved me, I am determined to learn cycling. This does not, now riding for me, is simply a piece of cake!

Recently, I read a book, "father and son", which tells the story of urchin, father, and an innocent son.

The book is a work of Russian critical realism. Among them, what impressed me most is the final chapters: father and son later became famous, they just started, very happy, but later, they discovered that others do what they look like and what is not good, so they feel that they are not the one and only the father and son, because this feeling empty son, the father said: "Daddy, I want to go to heaven." Father to son, son of holding hands, non-stop walking, they finally went to heaven, my father became the moon, the son became a star in the end, the author said that if the kids love the father and the son, not every night looking at the sky!

Family, two simple words, but contains the blood and water deep feeling. However, we still have some people around, do not know how to cherish, parents hard to pull you up, and you do not know how to repay, perhaps parents do not seek repayment, but you have a heart of gratitude do not have it? A warm word, a big hug, a deep kiss...... Sometimes the family to erase the happy memories, raised us so many years, whether rich or poor, parents will cherish you, cherish this God given happiness.

Family affection, friendship...... The two indispensable "love", the two contains happiness "love", in this book reflected, also by the author with affectionate ink painting out, let us open the hands, the precious things in our arms!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The success of Milton’s Paradise Lost owes much to the depiction of the main epicimage of Satan whose attributes enable him to achieve tragic status. Although Satan may be an epic machine, he is best portrayed as the tragic anti-hero of paradise Lost. The critics in the world have been concerning the image of Satan in Paradise Lost, whose complexity makes the poem more controversial.The reason why the image under Milton’s pen is so complex is that the Satan attracts the poet’s inner force, which drives him to change the people’s traditional ideas and cause resonance of all the revolutionaries.

Satan in the Bible is an image of devil. But in Paradise Lost, Satan challenges the authority of God and want to be free, he is a fighter for freedom. The poet portrayed Satan as a brave hero that went to get rid of god’s domination. In Paradise Lost, the Satan was the most successful image the author shaped.The allure of free will is where the attractiveness and power of Satan"s character lies. Stanley Fish in his essay, ‘The Harassed Reader in Paradise Lost, argues that Satan possesses a form of heroism which is easy to admire because it is visible and flamboyant and that, on that basis, Satan’s attractiveness is only initial. Milton was, undoubtedly, conscious that he was in danger of portraying Satan as too much of a heroic figure and made efforts to be little him through the use of unflattering imagery, and by highlighting his less complimentary characteristics.

Nonetheless, our emotions are still fired. Our first encounter with Satan and his rebel hosts occurs in Book I, when they are recovering from the shock of having been expelled from heaven by the Son after three days of fighting the angels of God. Despite the defeat he has suffered, Satan gains our admiration by displaying resilience in quickly coming to terms with the change in his circumstances, in remustering his forces and organizing the building of his palace, Pandemonium. At the same time he demonstrates his determination not to be defeated and shows true qualities of leadership, persuasively arguing that there is still hope for battle and victory. Satan is convincing in his first speech to Beelzebub, his chief partner in crime, as he declares: What though the field be lost? All is not lost; the unconquerable will, And study of revenge, immortal hate, And courage never to submit or yield: And what is else not to be overcome? That glory never shall his wrath or might Extort from me. Although Satan may be an epic machine, he is best portrayed as the tragic anti-hero of Paradise Lost or, at the very least, a main character who possesses the stature and attributes which enable him to achieve tragic status. In the Greek tradition, the essential components of tragedy are admiration, fear and pity for the ‘hero’， who has to display a tragic weakness or flaw in his character, which will lead to his downfall. It might be argued that the flaws in Satan’s character are such that we should feel no admiration, fear or pity for him, yet he can be seen to inspire these emotions. Satan’s tragic flaws are pointed out in Book I. They are envy, pride, and ambition towards self-glorification. Satan’s pride, in particular, is stressed throughout Paradise Lost.

The poet condemned God through Satan’s words. On the surface, God had given human free will; in fact, he had suppressed the true freedom.Obviously, the poet"s criticism and condemnation of God were out from the social reality of United Kingdom. The tyrant was the embodiment of Stuart. Milton laid his own political tendencies in the great Satan. He portrayed Satan"s resistance as the justice resistance to authoritarian rule and a bold challenge to the violent regime.

This time, I read a book, called "the city", the author is Lin.Speaking of the writer, ah!The article "reads" because she was named to the Chinese textbook, Chinese textbook a semester only 36!

The city in this book, I feel the winter sun, my childhood, camels, this topic is very special, attracted me, let me interested in opened the first page.

The whole book let me the most interested in, of course, is dad flowers fall, I was no longer a child of the chapter.Mainly about: eiko long primary school career is over, the day before graduation, eiko visit dad fell ill in bed.Eiko said dont have my dad, dont dare to tell.Dad said, no matter what, as long as the efforts to adhere to just do, dont too care about others.Graduation day, everyones tears, this also reminded eiko just before the entrance, the farewell of the students in grade six.

Lin when he was 13, my father died, and this is a very painful thing.An adult child, in the face of such a big thing, have brother and sister, really fierce!

This book, I think is eiko from childhood to primary school grade 6 life story, similar to "if give me three days light".Why is called "the city", however, I dont know yet.However, this is Lin grandma a wonderful childhood!

I believe that one of the factors that makes a piece of literature or even a movie a masterpiece is how well the reader can relate to the story. This is definitely a book everyone can relate to.

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a literary masterpieces, written in 1876 by the famous author Mark Twain. Tom Sawyer is a mischievous young boy who lives in the small town on the Mississippi River called St. Petersburg. The story line is simple, the book reads like a biography or a memoir of a summer in Tom Sawyers life.

Tom Sawyer seems to be the precursor of and the template for misfit kids such as Dennis the Menace, Malcolm in the Middle, and Calvin and Hobbs. What makes this story great is that Tom Sawyer represents everything that is great about childhood. The book is filled with Toms adventures playing pirates and war with his friend Joe Harper. Tom has a trusted friend, Huck Finn, who few of the adults approve of. The book is filled with ideas of how the world works, such as how pirates and robbers work, that are so innocent, they could only come from a child. It is a story filled with action, adventure, ingenious ideas, love, and schoolyard politics. The whole story is seemingly a complication of what people did or wish they did during their childhood.

The book is a little difficult to read at first. Personally, it takes me a little while to get used to the 19th century dialect in the book. Other than referring to persons of African decent in derogatory terms (which Im sure uses terms even young children already know)， the book would be an enjoyable read for people of all ages. I highly recommend this book for anyone looking to feel young again, if just for a few hundred pages.

故事的主人公汤姆是个天真、活泼而又顽皮的典型美国少年。他和野孩子夏克，各干出了许多令人捧腹的妙事。像汤姆被罚粉刷围墙，竟施出诡计，不但使别的孩子心甘情愿代替他工作，还自动奉上谢礼。后来和夏克逃到荒岛去，人们以为他们淹死了，正在教堂为他们举行丧礼，而他们却躲在教堂的钟楼上偷听。这些顽皮的举动，虽然不能给我们做模范，但是，他为了正义，毅然地挺身出来作证人，拯救那无辜的罪犯沫夫彼得。并在顽皮之余，居然和夏克破获了一桩谋杀案，成为众人钦佩的小英雄。看来，汤姆也有值得我们学习的地方。

人总是会长大的，除了个儿长高了，身子强壮了以外，人的思想也在长。你对世界的看法不同了，懂事了，不再幼稚了。不过人是要越变越好才是。千万不能像历险记里的那个心狠手辣的坏蛋卓伊一样，他坏事做尽，人见人憎。但最后他还是恶有恶报，得到了一个活活饿死在山洞里的下场。

看完《汤姆索亚历险记》，我真羡慕汤姆能有如此有趣的经历。这本书让人看起来津津有味，甚至废寝忘食。我想，《汤姆索亚历险记》在你烦闷的时候或许能让你一笑解千愁。

Vivid Heroine

——On Sister Carrie

Carrie was such an ordinary rural girl at the beginning of the story. Sitting on the seat of a bus, she couldn’t help feeling exciting at the sight of the metropolis’ spectacle. She was impressed deeply by large crowd on the avenue, the spacious square or tall buildings.

Far more different from other heroines, Carrie was not a plain pure angel like Snow-white, nor was she brave enough to be a heroine of revolutionist or even a reformer, nor was she so clever as to be a successful career woman who start from scratch.

What attracted her most, after her entering this huge metropolis was the incredible fineries, fashion shoes, smart handbags displaying in the shop windows, the jewellerys shining brightly behind the glass. She dreamed that one day, she could wear all of these, jogging gracefully into the most luxurious hotel with focused sights of admiration.

And this was not merely a dream. Because she had large eyes which can earn others’ sympathy, even love. She had wonderful figure which can win others’ hearts. However, anything she got, anywhere she reached, had not come from her ambition. Things happened, and then she accepted. That’s what she had just done — just to accept willingly from the bottom of her heart. She was not at all an evil woman who would give anything for the fortune or fame. However, she would give uo something for a better life when her instinct defeated her intellect.

That was Carrie, a girl had her own desire, a human being just like many others in the realistic world.

There’s one sentence written in chapter VIII:” When this jangle of free-will instinct shall have been adjusted, when perfect understanding has given the former the power to replace the latter entirely, man will no longer vary.” However, how many people can go that further.

And I want to quote another sentence to wind up my essay:

“In Carrie — as in how many of our wordings do they not? — instinct and reason, desire and understanding, were at war for the mastery.”

Shakespeares Hamlet is a classic masterpiece. The book on the surface of the plot and the history of the legend and there is not much difference, spoke or the Danish prince the story of revenge for his father, full of violence and death. As dramatis personae huo pull xu said: "you can hear adultery slaughter, abnormal repair, tho, accidental massacring, borrow the guile of hand to kill, and on the harm result."

Winding down plot, tightly around the revenge. From the German vuitton Hamlet rushed back to home, is to attend the funeral of his father, that he cannot accept is that he did not catch up with his fathers funeral, has witnessed a mother and uncle claudiuss wedding, it has made Hamlet once in mind, coupled with the night in the royal palace castle balcony to meet his fathers ghost, ghost jeremiad, the pile brutality is Hamlets uncle, and revenge for his father to him.

At this point, he started the difficult revenge course, and claudius launched a life-and-death battle. In the end, the blade of revenge on claudius sent out.

莎翁的《哈姆雷特》是一部经典的代表作。这本书在表面情节上与历史的传说并没有多大的区别，讲的还是丹麦王子为父报仇的故事，其中充满了血腥暴力和死亡。正如剧中人霍拉旭所说:"你们可以听到奸淫残杀，反常修理的行为，冥冥中的判决，意外的屠戮，借手杀人的狡计，以及陷入自害的结局。"

曲折选宕的情节，紧紧围绕着复仇而展开。哈姆雷特从德国的威登堡匆匆赶回国内，是来参加他父亲的葬礼的，使他不能接受的是，他未赶上父亲的葬礼，却目睹了母亲与叔叔克劳迪斯的婚礼，这已使哈姆莱特疑窦在心，加之夜晚在王宫城堡的露台上与父亲的亡魂相见，亡魂哀诉，这桩暴行是哈姆雷特的叔叔所为，并要他为父报仇。

至此，他开始了艰难的复仇历程，与克劳迪斯展开了你死我活的较量。最终，向克劳迪斯发出了复仇之剑。

I was read the book which called “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer”。 This story is about a clever boy called Tom Sawyer.

Tom is a naughty boy, he doesn’t like school and he doesn’t like work and he never wants to get up in the morning. But he like playing like swimming, fishing and having adventures with his friends. In this story he and his friend have a lot of adventures. These adventures can be dangerous. One night in the graveyard he and Huck see three men. Then Tom and his friends saw a murder. Joey killed the doctor and referred to Peter. Tom and his friends exposed Joey and caught him and became hero.

I think Tom is naughty but he is sympathetic and upright, he is brave he doesn’t afraid of Joey and full of his mind are wicked idea but he is clever and optimistic, he want his friend work for him, he make a lot of funny things.

This book let me know we need to “The road sees rough, gone to bat” to face difficult things we can’t shrink back and we need to fight with them. In the same time l know if only have a dream have pursuit and should try our best to do it , we can’t give up easily .

It just like in our study life we need to do our best. When we have problem we need to overcome it and get better scores.

Scorching July, I saw a lot of books, one of the most impressive is the little prince, the book.

Story of the little prince lived in a room and as large as the B612 planet, where there is a rose with thorns and three volcanoes. Every day the little prince to three volcano cleaning and watering the flowers, at the same time, the three volcano provided convenience for the little prince hot breakfast, flowers are also often chat and the little prince with relish. In this way, of their life on the planet more happy.

After reading this story, I understand you want to take good care of trees and flowers, so that nature will become more beautiful. One thousand dont clean the three volcanoes, the little prince always piled up garbage there, the last planet becomes malodorous, the little prince will live not bottom go to.

Remember when I was in kindergarten GSM, Arbor Day came, the teacher and parents with the class to the suburbs to plant trees. But, some people in order to build a house, the trees are cut out. We planted a tree, not only make nature more beautiful, still let us absorb more fresh air.

For earth, please cherish side every inch!

骄阳似火的七月，我看了很多书，其中印象最深的就是《小王子》这本书了。

故事中的小王子住在一个和屋子一样大的B612星球里，在那里，有一朵长着刺的玫瑰和三座火山。小王子每天都给三座火山打扫卫生、给花儿浇水，同时，三座火山为小王子热早餐提供了方便，花儿也经常和小王子津津有味的聊天。就这样，他们在星球上生活的更加快乐了。

读完这个故事，我明白了大家要爱护花草树木，这样大自然就会变得更加美好。万一小王子不打扫三座火山，总是在那儿堆放垃圾，最后星球上就变得乌烟瘴气，小王子也就生存不下去了。

记得以前我上幼儿园中班时，植树节到了，老师带着全班同学和家长到郊外植树。可是，有人为了造房子，把树木都砍光了。我们植了树，不仅让大自然更美好，还让我们吸收到了更多新鲜空气。

为了地球，请珍惜身边的一草一木吧!

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.

许多人认为这只是一个爱情故事傲慢与偏见，但在我看来，这本书是对当时社会的例证。她完美地体现了金钱与婚姻关系时，给她的时间在她的作品生动的人物形象的人。

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.

书中的人物有自己的个性。班纳特太太是一个女人谁使大力女儿嫁出去。彬格莱先生是位很友好的年轻人，但他的朋友，达西先生，是一个非常骄傲的人谁似乎总是感觉优越。即使是班纳特家的五个女儿有很大的不同。简是简单，天真，从不说别人的恶。伊丽莎白是一个聪明的女孩谁总是有她自己的意见。玛丽喜欢阅读古典书籍。 (其实她是一个学究。)小鹰没有她自己的意见，而是喜欢跟她的妹妹，莉迪亚。莉迪亚是一个女孩谁如下异国情调的东西，英俊的男子，并在某种程度上有点挥霍。当我读的书，我总能在社会上找到相同的人物了。这就是为什么我觉得这本书确实是在英国社会在18世纪的代表。

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.

The first sentence in this book is impressive. It reads: “It is a truth well known to all the world that an unmarried man in possession of a large fortune must be in need of a wife”. The undertone is very clear: the foundation of the marriage at that time is not emotion but possession.

在农村家庭是简奥斯汀先生最喜欢的话题。但是，这个小问题都可以反映大的问题。它总结了地层情况和英国的经济关系，她的世纪。你可以找到从一开始这本书。

在这本书的第一句话让人印象深刻。它写道：“这是众所周知的，在世界上的一大笔财富占有未婚男子必须在妻子需要一个真相“。该底色是非常明确的：当时的婚姻的基础是感情，但不占有。

People always think that Austen was an expert at telling love stories. In fact, the marriage in her book is not the result of love, but the result of economic needs. After reading this book, I know the truth is that a poor woman must be in need of a husband, a wealthy man.

I couldn’t forget how eager Mrs. Bennet wants to marry off her daughters. If you want to know why she is so crazy about these things, I must mention the situation in Britain at that time. Only the eldest son had the privilege of inheriting his father’s possessions. Younger sons and daughters who are used to luxurious lives have no choice but marry a man or woman in possession of a large fortune to continue their comfortable lives. Thus, we can see that getting married is a way to become wealthier, particularly for women without many possessions. Jane Austen told us that money and possession determined everything, including marriage and love in her century.

This winter, I read the book of Robinson Crusoe, their captors.

Article describes multiple sailing in the whole island, Crusoe masters of extraordinary survival 28 years experience, strive for survival, show the ingenuity and a man with indomitable perseverance in the face of hardship persistent existence desire, the lonely and eager to rescue the mood.

In a lonely island overcome Robinson was done with fear, a savage and said he was "on Friday, they get along with each other, then built on Friday, Crusoe one kind of warm friendship." I also enjoy the disclosure of the business concept: Crusoe each sailing and adventure has clear commercial purpose, with his own property and calculating profit, he will also oneself life the island is his territory, in addition to reveal its economic thought, I admire John Robinsons rich, more learning his strong initiative and spirit of adventure, early efforts, hard work, and perfect kindness thought!

The Old Man and the Sea is one of Hemingways most enduring works and may very well become one of the true classics of this generation. It played a great part in his winning the Pulizer Prize in 1953 and the 1954 Novel Prize for Literature and confirmed his power and presence in the literary world. Hemingway is also one of my favorite writers. Besides The Old Man And the Sea, I have read some of his other works, such as The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms and The Snow of Kilimanijaro. But The Old Man and the Sea is the one that left the deepest impression on me.

I first read this book when I was in my fifteens. And now I remember it just as well as if I had read it yesterday.

《老人与海》是海明威最不朽的作品之一，很可能成为这一代人的经典杰作之一。在他赢得了奖1953和1954部小说文学奖起到了重要作用，证实了他的力量和在文学世界的存在。海明威也是我最喜欢的作家之一。除了老人和大海，我看过他的一些其他作品，如太阳照常升起，永别了武器和Kilimanijaro雪。但是老人和大海是留给我印象最深的。

我第一次读这本书时，我十五。现在我还记得它，就像我昨天读过它一样。

读后感

今年暑假，我在美国著名作家海明威的小说《老人与海》中学习，。我很佩服小说中的老渔夫的意志，他让我明白了一个人必须有坚持不懈的精神，才能成功。小说所描述的是一个几乎六十岁的老渔夫，一次出海和钓鱼时，有一对大鱼，但不能画。经过艰苦的渔民和鱼类社会化了几天，才发现这是一个大玛琳的鱼超过几次自己的渔船，虽然明知这是很难赢得，不放弃了。因为大玛琳鱼伤口上的鱼腥味引来了几群鲨鱼争夺食物以后再，但老人仍不愿就这样放弃，最终突出重围，将大鱼带回了渔港，让其他渔夫佩服不已。老渔夫认为，当我读到：“这里离海岸实在是太近了，也许在更远的地方会有更大的鱼时，......”十分佩服这位老渔夫，因为他已经打到了一些鱼在这一刻，我，但是他不满意现有的事态，而是向着更大的目标前进。再次见到我们，在平凡的时候遇到一些小困难，我们都在抱怨。我们是祖国的未来，应该像这个老人一样雄心勃勃，去追求更好，更大的目标。当我读到“大玛琳鱼是它把小渔船游动，将缆绳缠绕到了桅杆的快速开始，老人右手高举着钢叉，跳出来，让它在尽最上面的水，一声哀鸣结束了大鱼的生命，它静静地浮在水面上......”时，我的心也像一块大石头落了。我佩服那种老人的恐惧，坚持不懈的精神，虽然知道对手的实力很强，但他根本没有退缩，遇到困难。正因为有这种精神，老渔夫才获得了生死之争的胜利。我们在生活中也要学习老渔夫的精神，做事不怕困难，才能取得成功。读大血腥味的一个鲨鱼进攻的味道，争先恐后地游来抢食，老人的左手正好在抽筋，他只能使用右手，可以用来攻击的武器保护自己用棍子，剑鱼，抓住一切口，并赶走了这群鲨鱼最后。但大鱼的肉已经被吃了一大半，但老人批评自己的左手“当工作的时候休息”的幽默，我被老人的乐观精神压抑的太。在生活中，有些损失是不可避免的，我们应该对待乐观的态度，不必担心小的利益或损失。最后，小说看到一个十几岁的老渔夫有18尺长的大长玛琳的鱼在宽容中，描述了这条鱼的巨大又一次，证明老渔夫克服的困难比平常大。老渔夫的精神，努力奋斗无所畏惧危险和困难的小说歌颂了，我们也应该像他那样，不能满足于现状，应该积极向上，做任何事都要坚持不懈，决不能半途而废，遇到困难要迎困难。只有这样，我们才能取得更大的成功和胜利。

When people really want to do it, God just happens to mean the beginning, and go back on, shameless the.

Undeniably, the opportunity is the wait for anyone, it is not passive, not waiting for you to analyze, analyze it, consider this, consider that a series of trivial events, and then decided to do it. Perhaps it is itself a fleeting Wizard, which is the test of courage and guts, wisdom and soul. It does not mean that all things should not be thoughtful, careful Clofibrate conduct, and if so, what we were in ancient times? Of course, opportunity and a need to treasure, you need to take advantage of, opportunities have come across are very difficult to fully and thoroughly to take advantage of, but it is difficult. How to better perfect it is a priority.

The policeman, not a claim has been given many opportunities than it? The cable does not do this than to understand what, just keep endlessly kept in mind for his so-called target to continue to play a life, clown, never tired. And lucky him, the total in the stage has written slip, but in the end was as a joke, laughed.

A drama in the end, which means another Drama begins. The police is concerned, only to routine; on the reader, but near the end; of life is concerned, only a small episode; of the writer is concerned, it is a good plot; on the audience, the only worthy of a ticket; on Soapy, it is a new idea of life close to, for he had the ignorance to pay, value is what he does not escape from his hand, he may be able to reverse the fate of the Opportunity and its contempt for the lessons learned in the final result.

If he will blame anyone, so that he does deserve it; if he can only blame himself, then he can say to yourself out loud: Three months, not too long, I will cherish and seize the time each day . well, in fact, did not run away, but I ignored. wait for it

Well, in fact, did not go far. Yes, a lot of happiness to dominate, the opportunity is one of them. Do not wait until God impatient, after all, he has emotions, give you played rough, then, as if too lacking in human touch of the. But their suffering.

Cherish the people or things around them, they change every day, but we are too busy, did not see. Opportunity is like a chance encounter, a good thing. Take advantage of, the benefits of it to play the extreme, it is a beauty thing. A person"s life will be all sorts of conditions, each of the significance of the situation is very different, very different. Select a different situation, a different life, a different fate, a different change So, we have to opportunity, transparent, fully see, so that would not go astray friends.

If the contrary, the outcome would be like Soapy: horror, realize that they have plunged into the abyss, the fallen years, shameful desire, despair, only poor intellectual exhaustion, motivation despicable.

Not grasp the opportunity to meet, are fools; not met but know how to grasp opportunities is talent; both opportunities and understanding of how the event is a genius.

"Notre Dame DE Paris" is a 19th century French writer Victor Hugos masterpiece. Quirky 15th century novel describes the life in Paris, the author depicts a group of personality with contrast gimmick bright vivid, extremely rich artistic appeal of the character image, with complicated conflicts and contradictions between rich tragic fate analyzes the complex world of humanity.

First of all, a set of characters is a gypsy girl esmeralda and bell ringers Quasimodo. 16 esmeralda beauty unsurpassed, pure good, good, but in the society at that time, so that the life like a flower are extremely conservative decaying ordered the destruction of the power of the church people sadly collapse too. More than 20 card seamus look ugly, severe disability makes him a came to the world from the first the family, which in turn is the abandonment of the whole society. However, he has a beautiful appearance ugly clean and pure heart, he does not mix of impurities in pure love guarded the esmeralda, trying to keep her from all harm. But in front of the strong social prejudice and evil forces, personal strength is tiny, powerful seamus, finally also only choose partiality this sad ending. The two characters have intertwined misfortunes, unable to hide their appearance on the huge contrast of pure good nature, in their perfect nature of the light, other characters in the novel are revealed the essence of the mean.

Notre Dame vice bishop eph rollo also fell in love with the beautiful esmeralda, but he love is very different from the ones with Quasimodo, eph rollo covered with halo of clergy, clean-cut, inside because of the conflict, until the destruction of the twisted soul, full of evil desire, eventually destroyed esmeralda, also destroyed himself. Hugo deeply analyze the characters with the attitude of compassion, dark twisted soul.

《巴黎圣母院》是法国19世纪着名作家雨果的代表作。小说描写了15世纪光怪陆离的巴黎生活，作者用对比的手法刻画了一群性格鲜明生动、极富艺术感染力的人物形象，以之间错综复杂的矛盾纠葛和悲剧命运剖析了丰富复杂的人性世界。

首先一组人物形象是吉卜赛少女爱斯梅拉达和敲钟人卡西莫多。16岁的爱斯梅拉达美貌绝伦、纯真善良、能歌善舞，但在当时社会，这样一朵鲜花般的生命却在极端保守腐朽的教会势力的摧残下令人惋惜地陨灭。20岁的卡西莫多外貌奇丑无比，严重的残疾使他一来到世界上便遭到了先是亲人，继而是整个社会的遗弃。然而外貌丑陋的他却有着一颗美丽纯洁的心灵，他以纯真得不掺一丝杂质的爱情守护着爱斯梅拉达，试图使她远离一切伤害。可在强大的社会偏见和邪恶势力面前，个人的力量实在微不足道，强悍的卡西莫多，最后也只有选择徇情这一悲剧结局。这两个主人公有着纠结在一起的不幸身世，外貌上的巨大反差无法掩盖他们共有的纯真善良的天性，在他们这种至善至美的天性的照耀下，小说中的其他人物皆露出了卑劣的本质。

圣母院副主教弗罗洛也爱上了美丽的爱斯梅拉达，但是他与卡西莫多的爱却有着天壤之别，弗罗洛披着神职人员的神圣光环，道貌岸然，内心却因冲突无法自拔，直至灵魂扭曲、充满了邪恶的毁灭欲，最终毁灭了爱斯梅拉达，也毁灭了自己。雨果以悲天悯人的姿态深刻剖析了这个人物阴暗扭曲的灵魂。

Ive read this twice. The first time I rushed through it just to find out who was the "victim." Yeah. Wasnt really surprised about that. Im sure a few people are thinking it was a serious mistake to off our lamented victim, but honestly, I wasnt really enthused at having to slog through this book.

I understand that this is covering the adolescent years of young Mr. Potter, but the whole teenage angst thing came out of nowhere. There shouldve been some hints as far back as "Chamber" but instead, we have four years of pent-up hormones come flooding out of the page. It is overwhelming at times, a feeling made worse when you realize that there wasnt a big plot; if anything, this was written partially for contract, partially to continue the story （I, personally, could have lived without the whole Hagrid/Grawp subplot, not to mention 50% of Dolores Umbridge, who herself is part pun, part metaphor, yet neither part really does anything but make one groan）。

But one thing to be said, there is growing tension and suspense in the book, which is written and intended--if we remember for a moment and think （perhaps somewhat na-iv-ely）--for young adults and not those of us with seasoned palates. This is why the book deserves a high rating; to me--and to many individuals over the age of, say, 16--this isnt a great novel. But it is an excellent novel for the young adult crowd and anyone who wants a mystery/fantasy/pseudo-thriller with characters who are reaching the genesis of their development. We may not like the person Harry becomes or the browbeating attitude of Umbridge or Rons jealousy rearing its head at odd turns, but it is a realistic portrayal of adolescent confusion and angst, of the tendency for some individuals in todays society to repreinformation and punish anyone who tries to resist the "system."

Yes, this is a heavy-handed statement, but this book is a metaphor as much as it is a fantasy. Remember, the Harry Potter series is desgined as an arc, so we naturally have to have the stage set for the final two books in the saga.

Hardcore Potter fans will enjoy this. Anyone expecting a great epic, however, will be disappointed because of their misconceptions.
