阿甘正传英语读后感（二）

This is a powerful yet charming movie; fun for its special effects and profound in how it keeps you thinking long after it"s over. Like others, I"ve seen this movie more than once. One comment I"ve never heard is that Forrest"s simplicity is almost zen-like. I should read the novel to get the author"s intention （I remember some people preferring the book and complaining that no one at the Academy Awards gave him any credit.） But rather than an implication that you should do what you"re supposed to do and believe in God and you"ll win in the end, I see it as zen-like, i.e., living in the moment and not having expectations or particular cravings （other than his loving Jenny.） (www.veryok.net)So he ends up just stumbling into all the major historical events of the time. Granted, he achieves this only because he doesn"t have the brains to think otherwise and actually have expectations, but so many of our problems are because we do have higher intellect and desires, which ironically makes us unhappy because we know what we are missing. We love our cats and dogs for the same simplicity and always being in the moment. There"s a line in the movie wondering if everything is predestined or happens randomly or it"s a combination of both. It is something to mull over for a long time.

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.”

It took me a week to read a book encouraging morale, called "the old man and the sea". I greatly admire, San Diego, the old man, if you read the story below, maybe you would like me to admire him.

Cuba, San Diego, the old man has nothing for eighty-four days, eighty-five days, with blessing and bait is stubbornly sailing out to sea again, he will go to deep to catch a big fish. This time, he met a pair of feet was eighteen feet long and is greater than he, he told the big silver fish (marlin) filled with admiration and respect, at the same time, the more aroused the determination to San Diego to challenge it. Big fish and the old man silently confrontation, sometimes take the ship to the deep sea, alternately circling boats, and want to use set off waves of the boat upset... Old man and big fish fight for two days and two nights, in the process, he constantly and fish, birds and sea dialogue, constant to or when they remember past events. With indomitable willpower and strong faith, he finally held up, conquered the behemoth. Unexpected is that the old man is going to pull the marlin back, large Numbers of sharks are attracted to over eat bundle of marlin on the boat. Although exhausted, San Diego, the old man go to great lengths to fight with sharks, but still being in that big fish shark bite only a empty frame. In the end, the San Diego old man dragged the vast empty skeleton back to the shore.

Old man of the spirit and idea of on their own, the lampholder support, he finally defeated the big fish, also defeated failure, defeated himself. We also should have this spirit in learning, such as difficulties in math, you should learn more, do not easily give up.

我花了一个星期读一本鼓舞人斗志的书，叫《老人与海》。我非常佩服圣地亚哥老人，如果你看了下面的故事，也许你会像我一样佩服他。

古巴的圣地亚哥老人已经八十四天一无所获了，第八十五天，带着祝福和鱼饵又顽强地驾船出海了：他要去深海捕一条大鱼。这一次他碰上了一条足有18英尺长，比他还大的鱼，他对这条大银鱼(马林鱼)充满了赞美和尊敬，同时这更激起了圣地亚哥向它挑战的决心。大鱼与老人默默地对峙，时而把船拖向深海，时而围着船打转，时而要用掀起的巨浪把船打翻……老人与大鱼奋战了两天两夜，在这个过程中，他不断地和鱼、鸟和大海对话，不断地想或回忆往事。凭着顽强的毅力和坚强的信念，他终于挺了过来，征服了那个庞然大物。意想不到的是，在老人将要把马林鱼拖回去的时候，大批的鲨鱼被吸引而来，争吃捆在船边上的马林鱼。已经筋疲力尽的圣地亚哥老人虽然竭尽全力与鲨鱼搏斗，但那条大鱼仍旧被成群的鲨鱼咬得只剩下一副空空的骨架。最后，圣地亚哥老人把这巨大的空骨架拖回了岸边。

老人靠自己的精神与理念，坚韧地支撑着，他最终战胜了大鱼，也战胜了失败，战胜了自己。我们在学习上也要有这种精神，如：在做数学题时遇到难题，就应该多动动脑，不要动不动就放弃。

This summer holiday, I read a book called Andersen Fairy Tale. The book has many interesting stories. I cant forget one of the story of this book, ugly little duck. It is very ugly, who has been bullied. It was alone, no animals would play with it. In the cold winter , it almost froze to death in the forest. However, it finally frying by its own efforts. It turned into a beautiful swan. It is not an ugly duck anymore. This story tells us: in the face of injustice, it is only through their own efforts, as have happiness and joy.

这个暑假，我读了一本叫《安徒生童话的书》。书里有许多有趣的故事。让我无法忘记的就是《丑小鸭》这个故事。它很丑，从小就一直被欺负。它很孤独，没有人或是动物愿意陪它玩耍。在寒冷的冬天，它在森林里差点冻死。但是，它最后终于靠着自己的努力飞了起来。它变成了美丽的天鹅。它不再是一只丑陋的小鸭子。这个故事告诉我们：面对生活的种种不公平，只有通过自己的努力，一样能拥有幸福和快乐。

The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery contains a fairy tale which concludes plentiful things.The first thing we can learn from the book is the innocence of childhood and love.Although disappointed by what his roses said,the little prince still loved them.In the weiter’s opinion ,the roses stand for the pure love.

As the prince growed up,he made a decision to explore other planets and leave his hometown,a planet which just one person lived in.When travelling in the other planets,he discovered that his rose is not the only one of its kind.There are abandunt kinds of roses in the garden,but he still held the opinoion that his rose is special "because it is she that I have watered; because it is she that I have put under the glass globe; because it is she that I have sheltered behind the screen" .

When he came to the earth ,another significant character ,the fox , teached the little prince to take his own responsibility bravely . What’s more ,the fox is also the little prince’s best friend and help with his understanding of the meaning of friendship.

All the story is told by a piolet ,who is another hero in the tale and met the little prince in the Sahara .At the end of the story ,the little prince died on the Earth with the piolet.

The writer made the story from the child’s view.Actually,what the prince said is what the writer wanted to said.The theme of the story is to criticize the human beings’ drawbacks.As a alien, the little prince could see the human beings’ disadvantages clearly. In my opinion ,The Little Prince is more than a funny book written for the children.It is a kind of profound reflection of humans.Everyone finishing reading the book can form his thought in his mind. Therefore,I’m sure it is worthwhile to spend some time reading the book calmly.

钓鱼，是21世纪的一种娱乐休闲、锻炼耐力的运动。而我就读了一本有关钓鱼的书。

主人公圣地亚哥是个七十多岁的老渔民，九月时，他连续八十四天都没有捕到鱼，于是就对一个跟着他出海捕鱼的男孩说：“你想想看见我在第八十五天钓到一条一千多磅的大鱼吗？”男孩点了点头。圣地亚哥笑了。第二天清晨，也就是第八十五天，圣地亚哥驶着小船，准备就绪后，就向无边无际的大海进发。钓到一条金枪鱼后，老人原本想睡上一觉的，不过今天是第八十五天啦，应该好好地钓鱼才对！老人这么想着，就在这时，老人感觉有根钓竿正往水下面猛地一沉！“来啦，来啦。”他说着，圣地亚哥轻松地握着，不让鱼有牵绊的感觉。从老人多年的经验判断，这应该是条大马林鱼！可是已经到中午了，老人现在还没看见过它呢！日已西斜，夜幕降临，那条大马林鱼还没有出现过，它不断地游着，把圣地亚哥的渔船越拖越远，也不知道什么时候才停下来。知道第二天中午，钓竿有了很明显的摆动。

呀！！那条大马林鱼突然腾空而起，可是又潜入水中。圣地亚哥搞不明白，对手为什么要这样做，是伤口太痛了吗？不管怎么说，又一个晚上到了，老人也该休息咯！圣地亚哥一觉睡到明天早上，庆幸的是，大马林鱼暂时没有动静。老人逐渐回收着钓索，大马林鱼确实疲惫不堪了，可足足过了两个小时，大鱼还是没露面。

呼！又是一阵猛烈的撞击。大马林鱼又开始兜圈了，兜完第三圈时，它的尾部冒出水面。圣地亚哥与它僵持着。最后一刻，老人将鱼叉插进了它的心脏，大马林鱼鲜血直流，老人把它绑好后，就回航了。虽然之后被许多鲨鱼咬完了大马林鱼，但老人都把它们消灭了。

读了《老人与海》后，我非常佩服老人的决心、耐心、和勇气！如果没有这三样东西，就算老人有再高超的技术，也不可能钓到这条大马林鱼。在生活中，我们也只有拥有决心、耐心、和勇气才能成就大事！而我缺的也正是这三样珍宝！我在碰到不会的题目时，我就像一棵墙头草——两边倒，没有一点决心！如果一个问题被别人问多几遍，我就会缺乏耐心，变得非常毛躁。我已经十岁了，不再是个小孩子了，但我连一个人过马路的勇气也没有！此时此刻，当我细细品读这个故事后，实在是万分惭愧。

虽然我知道，我不一定能改掉这些坏习惯，但请相信我，我会努力加油的！

The winter vacation, I read a famous adventure story book - "treasure island", which is the nineteenth Century British writer Stevenson wrote, "treasure island".

Although Geoff. Dr Hopkins often impulsive, but he has shown extraordinary courage and insight, enough to be impressed. Geoff. He Hopkins with courage and courage, a little timid and overcautious boy into a big hero. Sometimes we encounter problems, they stumble, dont try to explore solutions. We should learn from him, meet problems and try hard to solve them.

At the end of the story, when Geoff returned, he did not mention how much money he had received. Instead, he vowed not to hunt for treasure any more. He was often troubled by nightmares, dreaming of the sea and gold coins. Gold coins make Geoff have nightmares, not dreams of riches and honour. He who pursues material satisfaction only ends up in vain; greed and desire never bring good life. If everyone knew that, no one would do anything wrong for the sake of money.

Little Women

Before I read this book, I had watched a cartoon movie made by Japan. So I have a strong interest on it.

It all begins in the dead of winter; The Christmas Season. The coldest one of all, were the war has made fuel for heating very scarce. While her husband is off at war, Marmee is left alone to raise their four daughters: Jo, Meg, Beth, and Amy.

On Christmas Eve, Marmee has just arrived home from passing out food to the less fortunate with a letter from her husband, the girls father. The all gather together around the fire to read the letter. Afterwards, the girls are teary eyed. Marmee kisses them and they are off to bed.

Jo is longing to become a writer. So, every night she stays up late writing the script for soap operas. As morning comes she is the last one awake. The table is set, and food prepared for their Christmas feast.

As dusk falls, the girls are all up in the attic acting out Jos play, which she reads from the local (fake) newspaper. As they are performing, their rich, next-door neighbors grandson watches from the window.

The 2 oldest girls: Jo and Meg, get ready to attend the Christmas Ball. While Jo is curling Megs hair, there is a strange smell to the air. Amy screams, Megs hair is being singed. They continue digging through the old clothes bin for a pair of white gloves.

One of the prominent themes in Little Women is the coming of age or maturation of the girls. During the course of the novel we see them grow in many ways -- physically, intellectually, and especially emotionally. One question which readers must ask themselves is whether the views the characters have on the coming of age process are shared by Alcott. If they arent, what are Alcotts views and how do they differ from those of the women in her story?

It is interesting to examine the last half of Chapter 20, "Confidential." Jo addresses the maturation issue as she speaks with Marmee of the situation between Meg and Mr. Brooke. The possible love between these two represents one of the very important aspects in coming of age for a teenage girl. Jo treats this natural process as if it were some sort of disease, however. Jo cannot understand why Meg would want to stop behaving "like a sensible creature" (p.202)， and refers to love as "such nonsense."

When I was a middle school student, I’ve finished this book in Chinese.But when I read it in English,I really gain something new both in the way of expression and the spirit it shows to us.May be different ages to read the same book we will learn different things from it.At least, for my part, that is true.

Firstly,I would like to review some information about this book.Such as the background,major characters and the topic of it.

The Old Man and the Sea is a story by Ernest Hemingway, written in Cuba in 1951 and published in 1952. It was the last major work of fiction to be produced by Hemingway and published in his lifetime. One of his most famous works, it centers upon Santiago, an aging Cuban fisherman who struggles with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream.

The Old Man and the Sea served to reinvigorate Hemingways literary reputation and prompted a reexamination of his entire body of work. The novella was initially received with much popularity; it restored many readers confidence in Hemingways capability as an author. Its publisher, Scribners, on an early dust jacket, called the novella a "new classic," and many critics favorably compared it with such works as William Faulkners "The Bear" and Herman Melvilles Moby-Dick.

This book gives me a deep impression especially the description about the man’s braveness and persistence.

In this book, in order to suggest the profundity of the old man’s sacrifice and the glory that derives from it, Hemingway purposefully likens Santiago to Christ, who, according to Christian theology, gave his life for the greater glory of humankind. Crucifixion imagery is the most noticeable way in which Hemingway creates the symbolic parallel between Santiago and Christ. When Santiago’s palms are first cut by his fishing line, the reader cannot help but think of Christ suffering his stigmata. Later, when the sharks arrive, Hemingway portrays the old man as a crucified martyr, saying that he makes a noise similar to that of a man having nails driven through his hands. Furthermore, the image of the old man struggling up the hill with his mast across his shoulders recalls Christ’s march toward Calvary. Even the position in which Santiago collapses on his bed—face down with his arms out straight and the palms of his hands up—brings to mind the image of Christ suffering on the cross. Hemingway employs these images in the final pages of the novella in order to link Santiago to Christ, who exemplified transcendence by turning loss into gain, defeat into triumph, and even death into renewed life.

The major characters in this book are also vivid and lively.

Santiago?,the old man of the novella’s title, Santiago is a Cuban fisherman who has had an extended run of bad luck. Despite his expertise, he has been unable to catch a fish for eighty-four days. He is humble, yet exhibits a justified pride in his abilities. His knowledge of the sea and its creatures, and of his craft, is unparalleled and helps him preserve a sense of hope regardless of circumstance.

The marlin?,Santiago hooks the marlin, which we learn at the end of the novella measures eighteen feet, on the first afternoon of his fishing expedition. Manolin?,a boy presumably in his adolescence, Manolin is Santiago’s apprentice and devoted attendant. The old man first took him out on a boat when he was merely five years old. Due to Santiago’s recent bad luck, Manolin’s parents have forced the boy to go out on a different fishing boat. Manolin, however, still cares deeply for the old man, to whom he continues to look as a mentor.

Joe DiMaggio, although DiMaggio never appears in the novel, he plays a significant role nonetheless. Santiago worships him as a model of strength and commitment, and his thoughts turn toward DiMaggio whenever he needs to reassure himself of his own strength. Perico ?,Perico, the reader assumes, owns the bodega in Santiago’s village. He never appears in the novel, but he serves an important role in the fisherman’s life by providing him with newspapers that report the baseball scores. This act establishes him as a kind man who helps the aging Santiago.

Martin,like Perico, Martin, a café owner in Santiago’s village, does not appear in the story. The reader learns of him through Manolin, who often goes to Martin for Santiago’s supper. As the old man says, Martin is a man of frequent kindness who deserves to be repaid.

From the very first paragraph, Santiago is characterized as someone struggling against defeat. He has gone eighty-four days without catching a fish—he will soon pass his own record of eighty-seven days. Almost as a reminder of Santiago’s struggle, the sail of his skiff resembles “the flag of permanent defeat.” But the old man refuses defeat at every turn: he resolves to sail out beyond the other fishermen to where the biggest fish promise to be. He lands the marlin, tying his record of eighty-seven days after a brutal three-day fight, and he continues to ward off sharks from stealing his prey, even though he knows the battle is useless.

Because Santiago is pitted against the creatures of the sea, some readers choose to view the tale as a chronicle of man’s battle against the natural world, but the novella is, more accurately, the story of man’s place within nature. Both Santiago and the marlin display qualities of pride, honor, and bravery, and both are subject to the same eternal law: they must kill or be killed. As Santiago reflects when he watches the weary warbler fly toward shore, where it will inevitably meet the hawk, the world is filled with predators, and no living thing can escape the inevitable struggle that will lead to its death. Santiago lives according to his own observation: “man is not made for defeat . . . [a] man can be destroyed but not defeated.” In Hemingway’s portrait of the world, death is inevitable, but the best men (and animals) will nonetheless refuse to give in to its power. Accordingly, man and fish will struggle to the death, just as hungry sharks will lay waste to an old man’s trophy catch.

The novel suggests that it is possible to transcend this natural law. In fact, the very inevitability of destruction creates the terms that allow a worthy man or beast to transcend it. It is precisely through the effort to battle the inevitable that a man can prove himself. Indeed, a man can prove this determination over and over through the worthiness of the opponents he chooses to face. Santiago finds the marlin worthy of a fight, just as he once found “the great negro of Cienfuegos” worthy. HSantiago, though destroyed at the end of the novella, is never defeated. Instead, he emerges as a hero. Santiago’s struggle does not enable him to change man’s place in the world. Rather, it enables him to meet his most dignified destiny.

While it is certainly true that Santiago’s eighty-four-day run of bad luck is an affront to his pride as a masterful fisherman, and that his attempt to bear out his skills by sailing far into the gulf waters leads to disaster, Hemingway does not condemn his protagonist for being full of pride. On the contrary, Santiago stands as proof that pride motivates men to greatness. Because the old man acknowledges that he killed the mighty marlin largely out of pride, and because his capture of the marlin leads in turn to his heroic transcendence of defeat, pride becomes the source of Santiago’s greatest strength. Without a ferocious sense of pride, that battle would never have been fought, or more likely, it would have been abandoned before the end.

Santiago’s pride also motivates his desire to transcend the destructive forces of nature. Throughout the novel, no matter how baleful his circumstances become, the old man exhibits an unflagging determination to catch the marlin and bring it to shore. When the first shark arrives, Santiago’s resolve is mentioned twice in the space of just a few paragraphs. Even if the old man had returned with the marlin intact, his moment of glory, like the marlin’s meat, would have been short-lived. The glory and honor Santiago accrues comes not from his battle itself but from his pride and determination to fight.

Santiago dreams his pleasant dream of the lions at play on the beaches of Africa three times. The first time is the night before he departs on his three-day fishing expedition, the second occurs when he sleeps on the boat for a few hours in the middle of his struggle with the marlin, and the third takes place at the very end of the book. In fact, the sober promise of the triumph and regeneration with which the novella closes is supported by the final image of the lions. Because Santiago associates the lions with his youth, the dream suggests the circular nature of life. Additionally, because Santiago imagines the lions, fierce predators, playing, his dream suggests a harmony between the opposing forces—life and death, love and hate, destruction and regeneration—of nature.

This book gives me courage of conquering all kinds of difficulties .And I have the belief that the most beautiful thing is the process that we make our best to achieve our dream,and never say give up .

Pride and Prejudice is my favorite novel, which impresses me for a long time. It describes a love story mainly between Elisabeth, who I like the best, and a rich and proud man, Darcy.

The story began with the arrival of a crowd of rich men who rent a house near the Bennet. In a ball, Elisabeth gave such a bad impression on Darcy’s first pride that she refused Darcy’s first proposal. Darcy was so surprised by Elisabeth’s refusal that he loved Elisabeth more deeply. And Elisabeth’s antipathy made Darcy realize his shortcomings. He was not angry about Elisabeth’s censure, but also he changed his previous proud attitude.

During Elisabeth’s travel in Darcy’s manor. Darcy was very nice to her uncle and aunt, different from previous proud attitude. When one of Elisabeth’s sisters ran away with Wickham, Darcy helped Elisabeth find her sister and prevent her sister from the loss of reputation, with nobody knowing that it was he who helped the Bennet. So many changes in Darcy eliminated Elisabeth’s prejudice. At last it end with their marriage.

Taking the daily life as its material, this story reflected the life and love in a conservative你 and blocking England town. It reflected the author’s view about marriage that it is fault to marry for property, money and status and it is also foolish to take these elements into account. In fact Darcy’s pride manifested the gap between their statuses.

Since his pride existed, there is no ideal marriage between Elisabeth and Darcy. From the different attitudes from Darcy’s two proposals, it reflected the feminine pursuit of personality independence and right equality, which is a progressive character from the image of Elisabeth.

Abstract: This film Shawshank Redemption describes a man called Andy Dufresne was sent to the prison for he murdered his wife but in fact he was innocent. Then he started fighting against with the wicked prison life. Though he suffered many unfair treatments and ordeals, he never gives up himself. Due to his intelligence and perseverance, he spend 20 years successfully escape from the prison as a redemption. He teaches me that never lose hope.

Keywords: hope; redemption; freedom; dream

The story took place in 1940. A man who is a banker called Andy Dufresne, was sent into the Shawshank prison, for he murderer his wife and her lover in bed. However, he was innocent as he said. The new days in the prison were hard to live. It’s violent, heartless and cruel. Nevertheless, A month later, Andy began to make friends with other prisoners. And one of them called Red, who could get anything what he wanted. Andy bought a mallet from him and started his plan to escape. During this time, he did many things: expanding the library, caving stones, helping the corrupt warden to get money or bribe, etc. Then a young prisoner’s coming break his quiet life in jail. But the warden killed the young prisoner the only man that knew Andy was innocent. Then he knew the prison he could not stay any more. It took him 20 years to tunnel secretly and he successfully escaped from the prison. When he got free, Andy sent the evident which could prove the warden corruption, briber and murdering to the policy agency. Before that, Andy had told his best friend Red that his dream---Zihuatanejo, a warm place without memory. After escaping, Andy lived a free life in another identity and made the prison governor arrested. Several years later, Red was approved to leave. for the promise to Andy. Finally, in Zihuyatanejo, they met.

The cruel prison life terrified me and the friendship moved me. The story goes to a happy ending---redemption. This film impressed me a lot. A sentence was said in the film: ’Some birds aren"t meant to be caged, but most birds will choose to stand it.’

In this film, as we can see, the Shawshank Prison, which enjails lots of people. They have been in the prison form many years ,so they won’t go abroad. Because they won’t and also they can’t. They lived here for years without hope, and they lived just in the small prison, where nobody knows what is their dream and what’s their hope. As I remember, a old man Brooks was released after he had been in the jail for 50 years. But he found that the world became completely different from the world he imagined. For example, he seldom see cars before. He felt very strange and helpless to the outside world He can hardly adapt to the new developed world. He would rather stay in the prison. So unfortunately he chose to commit suicide.

However, on the contrary, Andy said a converse sentence:’ Some birds aren"t meant to be caged, that"s all. Their feathers are just too bright’ He long for the freedom and strive for it! What I remember very clearly is someone said that These walls are kind of funny things like that. First, you hate them, then you get used to them. Enough time passed, get so you depend on them. That is institutionalizing. But Andy hadn’t been affected. He insisted on his faith of freedom. He dared to pursue his deserved freedom! That’s the first point I appreciate.

What’s more, another thing I think is friendship. Of course, Andy’s perseverance and endeavor is the main reason that he succeed in escaping. But it can’t be denying that friendship is also a important reason. Without the friends’ help in the prison, especially red’s, He can’t break the prison, too. Even in the jail which is the most evil place that Andy could make it a significance place. He had transformed a storage room smelling of turpentine into the best prison library in New England. Then the prisoners read the books and got knowledge from it. Andy also helped them to pass the high school equivalency. The glitters of him lighted others’ life. That helps him built many sincere friendships in the prison. He just too bright that didn’t belong to the prison .Then he escape and gained the freedom.

Furthermore, the patience, courage and b willpower are the keys to escape. 20 years, not a short ordeal time, but he endured. He made his plan day by day, week by week and year by year. He never gives up. he took nearly twenty years to dip a tunnel with a little rock hammer which Red said it would take a man 600 years to tunnel under the wall with one of these to fight for his free .And he did it finally. Please imagine, crossing the tunnel he dup, he still should crawled through five hundred yards of shit-smelling foulness. That is the length of five football fields.

Then is the last but not least, I think. He has the bright brain ,the never fading persistent, and the most important thing----hope. Just as Andy said to Red: Hope is a good thing, may be the best of things. In this film, Andy show us that how good thing the hope is. Yes , hope is a good thing. Whatever it is, it can’t lock the hope. We all have dream. We all have hope. We all have it and please never give up, like Andy.

This film, Shawshank Redemption, teaches me a lot. It deserves to be one of the most overwhelming films in the Hollywood.

Fortress besieged is indeed a good book, read it every time I will have a new feeling, a good book does make me in the busy work, study and life there is a piece of leisure time, let oneself alleviate fatigue, make the person be free on the mind.

Great what great? Because, you is kneeling to see their, you kneeling, others naturally tall than you, because you just want to when a draw is not a creator, so the author stood in a certain height, overlooking the life openly revealed the weakness of human nature, the authenticity of life, and lived to tear apart and show, give a person with deep shock and enlightenment ideas.

As a student, marriage is not I should go to the topic of discussion. Fortress besieged is telling us what is the real life. Everyone from the day began to pursue his sensible think the ideal love, when it comes to getting the and are looking for an ideal marriage for love, but few people really do it all. In fact, life has taught us a rule: marriage is random! Marriage is like a siege, some people want to go in, inside people want to come out! When love is eroded by years, become a part of life, the love has been sublimated to the family.

《围城》的确是本好书，每一次读它我都会有新的感受，好书也的确能让我在忙碌的工作、学习、生活中有一片闲暇的时光，让自己缓解一下疲劳，使人在心灵上得到解放。

伟大的人为什么伟大?因为，你是跪着看他们的，你跪着，别人自然比你高大了，因为你只想当一个汲取者而不是一个创造者，所以作者站在一定的高度俯视着人生，毫不掩饰地揭露出人性的弱点、生活的真实性，并入木三分地撕开来并加以展示，给人以思想深层次的震撼与启迪。

作为学生，婚姻并不是我应当去讨论的话题。《围城》无疑是在告诉我们什么才是真实的生活。每个人从懂事的那天起就开始追逐自己认为理想的爱情，当追到的时候又在为爱情寻找一个理想的婚姻，而真正都做到的人寥寥无几。其实生活已经教给我们一个规律：婚姻是随机的!结婚就像围城，有的人想进去，进去的人想出来!当爱情被岁月侵蚀，成为生活的一部分，这时的爱情已经升华为亲情了。

Mr。 A Gan is a man who is short in intelligence but rich in mind! It is impossible for us to make the wildest guess at what achievements he could fulfill。 History does not recount whether a man regarded as ‘stupid’ can do so many amazing things， but the fact is that he does gains a great deal of unexpected fame and success。

The deep impression that the movie give me is that he just keep running all the time。 Mr。 A Gan， it seems， has run into the university， the White House and even the whole continent。 Sometimes I wonder if we all misunderstand the true meaning of smart and clever， for Mr。 A Gan has taught us a very different lesson。 From my point of view， kindness and simplicity is the cleverest wealth that God has given us。

But of the human beings， unpredictable Nature selected only Mr。 A Gan， one wonders also why Nature， with Mr。 A Gan， made it possible that people who was treated as a fool can surely make a difference。 Mr。 A Gan’s success is no accident。 There is no doubt that ordinary people like you and me can live a rich life by perseverance!

[阿甘正传英语读后感

这个暑假，我读了一本著名的小说《老人与海》，这本书给了我极大的启示。

书的作者是欧内斯特。海明威，书中的主人公是一个叫亚地圣哥的老渔民，作者采用故事叙述的方式描写了亚地圣哥出海捕鱼的一段经历。

故事以主人公出海84天没有捕到一条鱼为悬念，在茫茫大海中孤立无助，却又信念坚定，随后的第85天却独自钓到一条世所罕见的大鱼，围绕着如何把鱼带回港口，主人公历经千辛万苦，最后只是把大鱼的骨架带了回来，随着故事情节的展开，作者向读者展现了一位捕鱼手艺与自身行为准则及自然法则完美结合的老渔民。

本书的故事情节跌宕起伏，高潮迭起，主人公经常遇到难以克服的困境，却往往又峰回路转，犹如柳暗花明又一村，同时作者又以生动的笔触、细腻的心理描写刻画了一个血肉丰满的主人公，他信念坚定，有所追求，但又有自己的行为准则，作为一生捕鱼的渔民，他技艺高超，经验丰富，却又尊重自然，爱护自然，不因自己的一时得失而患得患失，故事的结局令人深思。

通过本书的阅读，我觉得不仅要学习作者的写作技巧，更要学习主人公的精神。

经常会看到对面楼上的阿姨带着她的小泰迪犬去遛弯，听见她亲昵地喊小泰迪犬”儿子“，我总觉得很好笑。可是自从学了《老人与海鸥》这篇课文，我才明白真情不只存在于人与人之间，人和动物之间也会产生让人感动的深情厚意。

寒冷的冬日，多少人待在暖和的房间里，坐在舒适的沙发上，细细地品着茶，悠闲地看着电视，而老人却冒着严寒，每一天徒步二十余里去给海鸥喂食。老人对自我是那么的吝啬，穿着褪色的布衣，背着褪色的布包，带着褪色的食袋，然而却从自我微薄的工资里拿出一部分钱来给海鸥买食物。老人对海鸥那无私的爱让人感动。我眼前不禁浮现出老人那驼背的身影，他像是在呼唤自我的儿女一样亲昵地喊着每只海鸥的名字，招呼”他们“快来吃饭，而海鸥们亲切地围在老人周围津津有味地啄着食。这一幕是多么地和谐、温馨啊！

而当老人去世以后，人们把老人最终一次喂海鸥的照片放大，带到翠湖边，”一群海鸥突然飞来，围着老人的遗像翻飞盘旋，连声呼叫……“海鸥们像亲属一样瞻仰老人的遗容，站立两行，肃立不动，为老人守灵。而当人们收起遗像的时候，”海鸥们像炸了营似的朝遗像扑过来……“海鸥们是多么地哀痛，多么地舍不得老人离开啊！

我的心被深深的震撼了。老人与海鸥早已把对方视作自我的亲人了，他们之间那份浓浓的情意，怎能不让人动容？

动物也是有感情的，当你对它好时，它也会对你有情有意。我真期望那些虐待动物的事件不再发生，那些掠杀动物的捕猎者放下手中的猎枪，和动物和睦相处，共同构造和谐家园。

当我再一次看见对面楼上的阿姨抱着她的小泰迪，一边抚摸着它的头，一边亲昵地说：”儿子，你饿不饿？咱们回家吧。“我的心底不禁浮起一丝丝暖暖的温情。

While Jobs built some of the more venerable brands in the zeitgeist today （Apple, Pixar） and created mobile devices that drive social media use, there’s another insight that emerged over the course of this 600-page journey. It’s what made Steve Jobs Steve Jobs. It’s also a key business skill that’s rarely addressed directly and that is focus. Laser-like, precision focus on what you want and how you can get there. As a young, college drop-out, Jobs worked on an apple-growing commune. His job? Pruning the tree branches so they would grow stronger. In many ways, “the Steve Jobs school of business leadership” is one of understanding focus.Focused Work Teams，Focused Design，Focus on Details，Focus on What’s Next，Focus on Ideas, Not Presentations，Focus on the Customer Experience。

暑假时，闲来无事的我读了美国著名作家海明威的小说《老人与海》。该小说主要讲述一个老渔夫与一条马林鱼的故事。文中剧情可以说的上是跌宕起伏。

文章开头描绘了一个老渔夫一连八十四天都没有钓到鱼，但是倔强的他会因此认输吗?终于在第八十五天钓到了一条身长十八尺，体重一千五磅的大马林鱼。

每当想起，风吹向空寂的海面，一个孤独的老人拖着疲惫不堪的身子，漂泊在茫茫的海面上，活像个大战后的勇士。为了制服马林鱼，他几乎没有了力气······这个老人具有了不可言败的精神力量，体现了老人那种无所畏惧的精神。

小说中老人一句话让我受益不浅，人尽可以被毁灭，但却不能被打败。也许是这句话的气势，以至于我至今记忆犹新。虽然文章的最后老人并没有胜利，尽管他最后得到的是鱼骨架子，但是她并没有感到惋惜。

这本书最让我感动的地方是老渔夫英勇的意志、坚定的决心和顽强的生命意识。他面对着一次又一次的失败，一次又一次的绝望，他不仅不气馁，还重新振作起来。他面对着大海上的残酷，并没有因此丧气，他并没有埋怨老天，埋怨任何人······

我以前是一个失败的人，不过看过了《老人与海》以后，我知道了人不是为失败而胜，人不可能轻易被失败打倒，我知道了人不仅可以创造奇迹，也可以延续“奇迹”。只要你有老渔夫的精神，明了“人不是为失败而生的，一个人可以被毁灭，但不能有被打败的信念，才能不畏困难，勇敢前行。”

在人生的道路上，我们可能会遇见许许多多的困难。我们不可能因为困难的强大而退缩，我们应该打败它，击碎它。你要相信一句话：困难越强你更强;你越弱，困难越强。虽然说困难不是轻易能被打败，但我们千万不能轻易退缩。只有在逆境中生长，才能更好的生存，相信自己，勇敢挑战自我，去主动迎接困难，让自己变得更强。在学习的时候，遇到不会的问题要相信自己，让我们充满信心，鼓起勇气，用坚持不懈的品质去迎接、战胜各种困难。

《老人与海》是一本值得每个人去看的书，让我们战胜困难，为打开成功之门一起努力吧。
