《老人与海》读后感英语（推荐20篇）

《老人与海》塑造了一个硬汉形象——一位叫做桑地亚哥的老渔夫。

书中概括了桑地亚哥独自一个人出海打鱼，经过了漫长的等待后钓到了一条无比巨大的马林鱼。鱼拖着小船漂流了整整两天两夜，老人在这两天两夜中经历了从未经受的考验，终于把大鱼击败。然而这时却遇上了鲨鱼!老人与鲨鱼展开殊死搏斗，结果马林鱼被鲨鱼吃了，最后拖回家的只剩下一副光秃秃的鱼骨架。从中告诉我们一个哲理：“一个人并不是生来要给打败的，你尽可以消灭他，可就是打不败他。”

人生的道路上难免有坎坷，只要拥有了勇敢和自信，你就会成为胜利者。

一只水母浮动在水面上，透明的身躯折射出绚烂的阳光，老人(圣地亚哥)酣睡船头，载着被鲨鱼撕咬后所剩无几的鱼骨，驶向临近家的海岸……他光辉的战绩使每个人赞叹，阖上眼，奔入梦境，梦见一只威武的狮子……

整个故事到这里就结束了，轻轻合扣上《老人与海》这本书，意犹未尽，掩卷沉思，老人瘦骨嶙峋、不肯屈服的身影浮现在我的脑海，他的颈背上刻着深深的皱纹，褐斑布满了他的双颊，除了一双眼睛，他浑身上下都很苍老。那双眼睛乐观而且永不言败，色彩跟大海一样。

《老人与海》是美国海明威的代表作，古巴老渔夫圣地亚哥在连续八十四天没捕到鱼的情况下，终于独自钓上了一条大马林鱼，将其拖了三天筋疲力尽，被他杀死了绑在小船的一边，在归程中一再遭到鲨鱼的袭击，最后回港时只剩下鱼头鱼尾和一条脊骨。

我想他是失败的，但在某种意义上说他又是成功了的。

前八十四天，老人的鱼篓里空空如也，他站在海岸边等待第八十五天的来临——那个有好运的日子。他满载着希望而去，驶向海的远方，饥饿劳累过后，他始终不肯放弃那条大鱼，当他的大鱼被鲨鱼吃得仅剩下一副骨骼时，他自问：“可是，是什么把你打败的呢?”“什么也不是……是我走得太远啦。”老人承认了自己的失败，却又绝对相信自我的力量。相信他纵然失败依然勇敢无比，相信在精神上并没有败给鲨鱼，因为被消灭的是鲨鱼，而不是自己。

独自思索了很久，细细品味这本书的寓意所在，作品背景是在两次世界大战和西班牙战争之后，人们还未从世界大战的恶梦中醒来，幻灭、失落等种种迷惘困扰着人们。战后的社会是一片混乱、衰败的景象，战争和社会的种种荒诞现象给海明威的精神和身体上都带来了很深的创伤，可谓九死一生。我想了很久，觉悟到，马林鱼象征人生的理想，鲨鱼象征无法摆脱的悲剧命运，大海象征变化无常的人类社会，而梦见的狮子则为勇武健壮、仇视邪恶，能创造奇迹的象征，老人则是人类中的勇于与强大势力搏斗的“硬汉子”代表，他那捕鱼的不幸遭遇象征人类总是与厄运不断抗争。

“海洋是仁慈的，十分美丽的，”她给予了老人一条“比小船还长两英尺”的大马林鱼。可是海洋又是残忍的——那此成群结队而来鲨鱼夺走了他辛苦追捕到的大鱼，粉碎了他的“光荣”。老人与大海的关系是既依存于大海又要与大海斗争。大海是他的生活场所和战斗场所，也将成为他的最后归宿。

原来老人虽已年迈，却始终不肯屈服，正如他所说：“一个人并不是生来就要被打败的，人尽可以被毁灭，但却不能被打败。”

Watching the les miserables, jean valjean tall image always emerge in front of my eyes. He is ready to help others, honest is good, good character, although due to the forced by life, had made some mistake, but this does not affect his personality, because he spent a lifetime in continuously improve their difficulties and adversity.

Jean valjean was out of work, because life poverty, he stole a loaf of bread, was caught in prison, the evil old society! After prison, he was leader of bent on revenge influence restored confidence in life and aspire to from good, he came to monte, renamed Madeleine, set up factories, became a millionaire, has helped many people, as the mayor. Integrity, however, he didnt want to let others take the rap for him and was put into prison...

What kind of jean valjean, he good for bad, ready to help others, raising a baby, you planned to. In order to make cosette happiness, have the courage to admits his true identity, this need how much courage, how much love! Although repeatedly by the peoples misunderstanding and discrimination, but jean valjean always abide by the promise of the bishop, silently to do an honest, kind person.

I moved for jean valjean, if we can face up to its own like jean valjean error, can try their best to correct, look at the world with a heart of universal love, our world will become more beautiful. Im sad for jean valjean, for his newspaper, if jean valjean had life in socialist China, so his experience might not be so rough.

看完《悲惨世界》一书，冉阿让高大的形象始终浮现在我的眼前。他乐于助人，淳朴善良，品格高尚，虽然由于生活所迫，曾犯过一些错，但这并没有影响他的人格，因为他用了一生的时间在艰辛和逆境中不断地完善自己。

冉阿让失业了，因为生活贫因，他偷了一块面包，就被抓住关进监狱，万恶的旧社会!出狱后，一心想报复的他受教主的感化恢复了对生活的信心并立志从善，他来到蒙特亿，改名马德兰，开办工厂，成了富翁，帮助了许许多多的人，当上了市长。然而，为人正直的他由于不想让别人替他顶罪又被抓进监狱……

多么善良的冉阿让，他以德报怨，乐于助人，抚养孤女，不求回报。为了让珂赛特获得幸福，勇于坦言自己的真实身份，这需要多大的勇气，需要多大的爱心啊!虽然一再地受人们的误解和歧视，但冉阿让始终默默地遵守对主教的诺言，做一个正直，善良的人。

我为冉阿让而感动，如果我们都能像冉阿让那样勇敢面对自己的错误，尽自己所能去改正，以一颗博爱的心去看世界，那我们的世界将变得更美好。我为冉阿让而难过，为他报不平，如果冉阿让生活在社会主义的中国，那么他的经历也许就不会那么坎坷了。

The ugly duckling is my very like a fairy tale, it is a hit all the crowd out, laughed at, the image of the ugly duckling. But it always have a dream in the heart, because the dream, it in front of the difficulty not despair, there is no destruction, but always unyielding struggle, finally turned into a beautiful noble swan, it feel happy, feel warm.

The beauty of love, there is. In the world who doesnt like beauty? But the beauty are important, but the beauty of mind is more important. If the heart beauty, character beauty, wisdom, beauty, language beauty, beauty action, this is the most beautiful thing in the world. Although the physical beauty, but in the mind is not beautiful, it is very ugly. Some people, for the sake of beauty, do not hesitate to sacrifice everything, that is beautiful? Some people, although ugly, but work hard, industrious, good, this is not to mind ugly, but just the opposite.

After reading the text, cause me to understand that appearance is not important, the most important is whether the inner beauty, is pure. The ugly duckling into a swan, all this comes from it in mind that a dream of the eternal. Everyone can be as long as you firm faith, stick to their beautiful dreams, and diligently to struggle, you will be successful, you will become a beautiful swan, spread your wings and fly.

《丑小鸭》是我非常喜欢的一篇童话，它讲的是一只处处受排挤、受嘲笑、受打击的丑小鸭的形象。但是它的心中一直怀有一份梦想，因为这份梦想，它在困难前没有绝望，也没有沉沦，而是始终不屈地奋斗，终于变成了一只漂亮高贵的天鹅，它感到幸福，感到温暖。

爱心之美，人之皆有。世间有谁不爱美?可是外表美虽然重要，但心灵美更加重要。要是心灵美、品德美、智慧美、语言美、行动美，这是世上最美的人。虽然外表美，但心里不美，那也是很丑的。有些人，为了外表美，不惜牺牲一切，那是美吗?有些人，虽然长得丑，但肯努力、勤奋、善良，这并不是心灵丑，而正好相反。

读完这篇课文，使我明白到：外貌并不重要，最重要的是内心是否美，是否纯洁。丑小鸭变成天鹅，这一切都源于它心中那一份永恒的梦想。大家都能成为只要你坚定信念，坚持自己美丽的梦想，并坚持不懈地去奋斗，你会成功的，你会变成一只美丽的、展翅飞翔的天鹅。

我从《丑小鸭》这篇课文中体验到美的真谛，明白美的内涵——内心美，让我们变成天鹅，在自由的天空中展翅高飞。

《漂亮女孩夏林果》是《淘气包马小跳》系列中我最喜欢的一本书。最近，我又读了一遍《漂亮女孩夏林果》，书中的故事深深地吸引了我，淘气包马小跳和他的同学漂亮女孩夏林果的故事，很有意思。

夏林果学习优秀，是学校的大队委。她从五岁开始练芭蕾舞，她走路时眼睛永远平视前方，腰板永远挺得笔直。“六一”节她身穿雪白的芭蕾舞裙，跳起芭蕾舞，舞姿优美动人。夏林果是个善良的小姑娘。一天，她在路边捡到一只小猫，虽然她妈妈不让她养，但她舍不得，把小猫寄养在马小跳家里。为了养好这只小猫，每天放学后他们一起去超市为小猫买吃的东西，两人也成为了好朋友。

马小跳向爸爸极力推荐夏林果作为设计中国娃娃的模特。因为夏林果太在意结果表现不自然，马小跳的爸爸觉得一同去的路曼曼反而比较自然有特色。第二天，路曼曼得知自己可能成为模特后特意展现出自己标准的微笑，马小跳的爸爸却觉得放松的夏林果好看。这个小故事告诉我们，最自然状态下的美才是真正动人的。

马小跳因为觉得夏林果很优秀很漂亮，很想和夏林果同桌，但班主任秦老师认为他思想有问题向马小跳的爸爸告状，马小跳的爸爸在和马小跳沟通后发现不是孩子思想复杂，而是大人的思想复杂。笨女孩安琪儿有表演天赋参加拍摄电视剧。夏林果开始嫉妒安琪儿，但是在导演的肯定和帮助下她认识到每个人都有自己的优点。

Oliver Twist one of the most famous works of Charles Dickens’ is a novel reflecting the tragic fact of the life in Britain in 18th century. The author who himself was born in a poor family wrote this novel in his twenties with a view to reveal the ugly masks of those cruel criminals and to expose the horror and violence hidden underneath the narrow and dirty streets in London. The hero of this novel was Oliver Twist an orphan who was thrown into a world full of poverty and crime. He suffered enormous pain such as hunger thirst beating and abuse. While reading the tragic experiences of the little Oliver I was shocked by his sufferings. I felt for the poor boy but at the same time I detested the evil Fagin and the brutal Bill. To my relief as was written in all the best stories the goodness eventually conquered devil and Oliver lived a happy life in the end. One of the plots that attracted me most is that after the theft little Oliver was allowed to recover in the kind care of Mrs. Maylie and Rose and began a new life. He went for walks with them or Rose read to him and he worked hard at his lessons. He felt as if he had left behind forever the world of crime and hardship and poverty. How can such a little boy who had already suffered oppressive affliction remain pure in body and mind? The reason is the nature of goodness. I think it is the most important information implied in the novel by Dickens-he believed that goodness could conquer every difficulty. Although I don’t think goodness is omnipotent yet I do believe that those who are kind-hearted live more happily than those who are evil-minded. For me the nature of goodness is one of the most necessary character for a person. Goodness is to humans what water is to fish. He who is without goodness is an utterly worthless person. On the contrary as the famous saying goes ‘The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose’ he who is with goodness undoubtedly is a happy and useful person. People receiving his help are grateful to him and he also gets gratified from what he has done and thus he can do good to both the people he has helped and himself.

The hero of the story called Holden,he was a middle school student,but he didn’t like studying at all.He was tired of everything in the school. So he was expelled from school for the fourth time.

In the removed that night,Holden left school,but he was afraid to go home.In desperation,Holden lived in a small hotel.However,it was a chaos of hotel,some shady people lived there,here Holden made a lot of stupid things.Later,he and his girlfriend split up.

Then Holden to the bar to drink with an old school friend,he got very drunk,he put his head in cold water for a while,just wake up. When he walked out of the pub, be cold wind blows, the hair of his head was frozen.He thought he might die from pneumonia, always can"t see his sister, decided to take the plunge and home her farewell.

“一个人并不是生来要给打败的，你尽可以把他消灭掉，可就是打不败他。”这经典的语句是美国著名作家海明威笔下的老渔夫说的，这正是他克服困难的勇气和坚强意志的体现。

《老人与海》是一部中篇小说，主要写了老渔夫桑堤亚哥一连八十四天都没有钓到一条鱼，但他不服输，终于在第85天钓到一条大马林鱼。他与大马林鱼搏斗周旋，终于在两天两夜之后杀死了鱼。可谁料，血腥味引来了一群一群的鲨鱼，老人与鲨鱼进行激烈的搏斗，杀死了鲨鱼，把鱼骨头带回来，原先嘲笑老人的渔民都赞叹不已。老渔夫身上那勇于面对困难，逆境，和面对死亡时的坚定、从容和智慧的精神值得我们永远尊敬，让我们明白人们最高贵的自信。

“我要让他知道什么是一个人能够办得到的，什么是一个人忍受得住的。”在这句话中我体会到老人把鱼既当成朋友，又当成对手。他赞叹对手强大，毫不畏惧，他克服疲乏，制服对手。不被困难折服，不向命运低头，正有大音乐家贝多芬所说:“我可以被摧毁，但我不能被征服。可看出老人坦荡磊落的内心，不达目的不罢休的精神。当我读到“一个人并不是生来要给打败的，你尽可以把他消灭掉，可就是打不败他。”我体会到了老人勇敢面对死亡和失败，毫无气馁，不向命运低头的骨气和尊严。

什么是骨气，什么是精神?精神一词，简简单单，却蕴含着深刻的人生哲理，只有高尚的节操才配叫作精神。坚持不懈，不被困难折服，这说来简单可是真正又有几人做到，老人便做到了。他在与鱼搏斗的同时，还要抵抗身体带来的痛苦，寒冷，饥饿，疲乏以及晕眩，但他都挺了下来。老人那毫不畏惧、坚韧顽强、积极乐观的精神，活灵活现地展现在我们眼前。老人他是一个典型的“硬汉”，“孤军奋战无所惧，刚毅顽强真英雄!"他坚强刚毅，面对痛苦和死亡无所畏惧，在同严酷的生活进行惊心搏斗时，从不丧失人的尊严与勇气，这可不是一般人做得到的。这无与伦比的精神，值得我们学习。

“ 坚持就能成功”，我也曾坚持过。便也成功了。还记得四年级的时候，我回老家玩。妈妈见我还不会骑自行车，便手把手教我。在烈日炎炎下，我本可以坐在绿荫下乘凉，但我毅然放弃，我在空地上坚持不懈地学自行车，摔倒了一次又一次，脚踝处擦伤了五六处，甚至流出了血。看着大树下那一片阴凉的地方，我猛地一推自行车，跑向大树。自行车“咣当”一声掉在了地上，妈妈走过来，说:“你不是说要学好自行车的吗，怎么能半途而废呢?”我抱怨道:“学自行车太难了，我不想学了。”妈妈皱了皱眉，语重心长地说老师不是经常教你要坚持不懈吗?还有你最新学的《老人与海》你不是总说要学习老人那永不放弃的精神吗，可现在呢?”我一听，惭愧极了，连忙起来继续学自行车。我为自己打气:“骑自行车有什么难的,再坚持一下不就会了吗。”终于我学会了骑自行车，看看现在的我，骑得平平稳稳儿，要快就快，要慢便慢，随心所欲。

《老人与海》这部小说，在浅显易懂的故事里，蕴含着深刻的人生哲理。它告诉我们要对自己有自信，相信自己，但还要坚持，勤奋以及勤奋之外的东西。

海是调皮的顽童，它有时平波如镜，有事掀起狂潮巨浪，与正真的勇士试比高下。人的精神是无形的，它可以深藏在人们内心里一动不动，也可以一触即发，用它难以形容的威力与恶势力作斗争。

一位以打渔为生的老人，一望无际的大海，就算是正值壮年的男子汉在大海面前都显得那么微不足道，更何况是一位老人？又有谁能像那位老人一样与几十条鲨鱼作战，是什么力量促使老人去战斗呢？是精神，是顽强不屈的精神。

可以消灭一个人，就是打不垮他，这是给我印象最深的一句话。老人回到岸上，他什么也没有得到，就连渔网鱼叉也没有了，他输了吗？没有，他是最后的胜利者，他的精神战胜了一切，因为精神是世上唯一无法战胜的。即使一无所获仍旧坚持不懈地为自己的目标而奋斗，不正是《老人与海》给我们的启示吗？

一个人一旦拥有了这种精神，他就是这个世上最勇敢的人，不可战胜的人。是的，的确可以战胜一个人，但就是大不挎它，或许那些所谓的“胜利者”会赢得某些人的掌声，但在人们内心深处有种声音在说：“你们的胜利是最可悲的！”为什么我们的英雄在战场上可以无所畏惧，为什么我们的勇士在刑场上可以昂首挺胸呢？因为人类不可泯灭的精神，是无法战胜的正义。

我们应该歌颂那些古今中外拥有这种精神的人。

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.

On summer vacation of this year, I studied in novel " old man and sea " of Hemingway , famous writer of U.S.A. ,. I admire the old fishermans will in the novel very much, he lets me understand that a person must have unremitting spirit, could succeed . What the novel is described is an old fisherman almost the sixty years old, when go to sea and fish alone once, have angled to a big fish, but can not draw. After tough fisherman and fish have socialized for a few days, just find this is a big Malins fish which exceeds several times of ones own fishing boat, though know perfectly well that it is very difficult to win , does not give up yet. Because big Malin fish fishlike smell of wound attract odd herds of shark vie for the food again later, but the old man is still unwilling to give up like this, stress the tight encirclement finally , take the large fish back to fishing port , let other fishmen admire it endlessly. The old fisherman thinks that as I read ": It is really too close from here to coast, perhaps there are bigger fish in the farther place ……" When,admire very much because this old fisherman in the persons, because play not for some fishing he already at this moment I, but he is not satisfied with the existing state of affairs , but advance towards greater goal. Seeing us again, meet some little difficulties at ordinary times , all of us complain bitterly. We are the future of the motherland, should be as ambitious as this old man, go to pursue well , greater goal. Read as me " big Malin fish is it enclose light fishing boat move about , is it get mast to twine cable fast to begin, old man right hand hold steel fork high , jump out in a flash , affording to try ones best above water in it, a sound of wail has finished the life of the loud fish, it floats on the surface of water silently ……"When,the I one heart is too fall like pieces of stone not big. I admire that kind of fearing of the old man at all , unremitting spirit very much, though know rivals strength is very strong , but he has not shrunk back at all , meets the difficulty. Just because there is this kind of spirit, the old fisherman has obtained the victory of the trial of strength of this life and death. We should study the old fishermans spirit too in life, do the thing and is not afraid of the difficulty , could achieve success . Read big blood offensive smell of fish smell one shark , fall over each other to visit to vie for the food, left hand of old man pull a muscle just, he can only use right hand, can weapon attacked to used for defend oneself with stick , mouth of swordfish that catch everything, and has driven away this herd of shark finally. But big meat of fish take into big half already, but old man criticize ones own left hand " when the work this when have a rest " humorously also, I am subdued by old mans optimistic spirit too. In life, some losses are unavoidable, we should treat the optimistic attitude , cant worry about petty gain or loss . Finally, the novel sees with a teenager that old fisherman has 18 feet of big long Malins fish totally in the tolerance , the ones that have described this fish are enormous again, prove that old fishermans difficulty overcome is big, than ordinary. Old fishermans spirit that makes great efforts to struggle fearless of danger and difficulty that the novel has been extolled, we should be like him too, can t be satisfied with the current situation , should be positive upwards, it should be unremitting to do anything, it must not give up halfway to meeting difficulty should meet the difficulty. Only in this way, we could obtain greater success and victory .

Pride and Prejudice is a chefdoeuvre. But my first impression of this story was from screen.

Its long long ago, maybe before I can read english books. I dont remember which movie edition I had seen. But I was impressed by the music, the scenery and the costume. I was very favor of a section of music in its balls. Its pretty brisk, liked a wonderful song of a bird. Regarding to the characters, I liked Elizabeth, the heroine,though I didnt think shes beautiful. But shes smart. However, I didnt pay much attention to the plot. I thought its so long that it made me impatient and bored. By now, I havent read the whole story in English or its Chinese version, either. I owe it to my prejudice.

In fact, I didnt understand the story at that time. I didnt know why it called Pride and Prejudice. Of course someone was pride, but I didnt find where s the prejudice. I thought its normal, the way people treated each other in that. I considered prejudice would be very disgusting. But to the movie everthing was OK in my minds, except its length. Now, I think I have understood more about it. Im a prejudiced person so I cant find wheres wrong. I merely like to do the things I like. Everytime I meet somebody or something,my thinking about he or it all depends on my foregone experience and my mood of the time. I like it so just like it, if not so just not. Im a person thinking by heart not by brain. What is worse, I actually didnt think its wrong. I thought everyone is all like that.Everyone has his special way to cognize the world. So its individuality, not prejudice. But I think something is wrong. Though everyone can judge in the way he likes, he cant ignore other ones. You can like what you like and hate what you hate, but you should be objective when you meet external world. I think it means that you should consider things roundly, not just partial. Individuality is different from prejudice. What is it? I need to think more.

《特洛伊》中作者成功地创造出栩栩如生的男男女女，他们的磨难令人痛心，胜利则辉煌夺目。下面是语文迷为大家提供的读后感范文，希望对你有帮助。

I have never been to Troy, but David Maule made me feel as if I were standing on the high wall of Troy, watching the fierce war. Thanks to this British author, who adapted the famous Homer’s poem into a lively story, I found it easier to understand this story. Though the story happened over 3000 years ago in a remote place, I was deeply fascinated by it. The mysterious plot is one of the reasons why I loved The Story of Troy so much, yet I am more interested in the human heroes of the war.

Hector was the eldest son of king of Troy, Priam. He was not only a real hero of Trojan, but was regarded the highest moral hero in Greek classic by later historians. The war started because of the mischief of his brother, Paris, whom he didn’t appreciate. However, since Hector was the commander of the Trojan army, he was obliged to fight with all force. It was really a tragedy that such a valiant man died in the duel with another great warrior, Achilles.

It is natural to see death in a war. As a famous Chinese parable says, “A life can be as slight as a piece of feather, or as weighty as Mount Tai.” Sometimes, one’s glory walks hand in hand with one’s doom. Achilles was such a typical person. His personal charm made The Story of Troy more attractive. He was so crucial because his every appearance in a war encouraged his fellow soldiers and terrified the enemies. Actually, Achilles was half-god who was almost invincible in people’s mind. That’s why his name was memorized long after his death.

Besides the two great men, the wisdom of Odysseus also proved him to be a great hero. He didn’t want to attend the war because he was happily married and had a lovely son. However, since his country was allied to Mycenae, he had to take the command given by the king of Mycenae. I’m quite sure that the story of the wooden horse is widely known, however, few people know who thought of the brilliant idea, that’s why I admired Odysseus so much because he was the person who got the idea. Thanks to the horse, the ten-year war came to an end at last. If you want to know how the wooden horse worked, just read the book.

The ancient Greeks believed that the gods and goddesses also played important roles in the origin, process and ending of the whole story.

The story of the golden apple was such an example. When Eris, the goddess of argument and disagreement, threw out the golden apple to a wedding ceremony on Mount Olympus, a dispute happened. Hera, the queen of gods, Athena, the goddess of wisdom, and Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, were all involved in the argument for the apple. None of them was willing to give way, so they turned to Paris for a final judgment. Tempted by Aphrodite’s beauty and promise, Paris handed the apple to her. To keep her word, Aphrodite helped him to get Helen, the most beautiful woman in the world, as his wife. That was the cause of the war.

Paris’s choice obviously annoyed the other two goddesses. So during the war, they helped the Greek alliance army while some other gods, such as Apollo and Aphrodite, guarded Troy. When Paris dueled with Helen’s former husband Menelaus, Aphrodite saved Paris when he was about to be finished off.

After the duel between those two people, there was a truce between the Greek alliance and Troy. However, both Hera and Athena were not happy to see it. Hera pursued her husband ZEUS:“ Now, will you send Athena to make the Troyjans break the peace?”(Page 22) Then with Zeus’s permission, Athena went down to start the war again and finally she brought the Greeks to success.

From the whole story, we can see that in ancient Greeks’ view, gods sometimes played a much more important role in their life. However, with the rapid development of science, we have learned that the Greek gods never existed. This is why a recent movie of Troy has not mentioned a single god. Everything happened due to men’s ambition, love, loyalty or jealousy. With those emotion and people’s effort, we human beings can accomplish wonders and be master of the world.

God are of less importance than they used to be. Nonetheless, the gods and goddesses made The Story of Troy more mysterious and marvelous.

I have learnt from the book more than the wonderful story of history, love and war. I believe that human can determine their destiny by their own. I highly recommend this book to my friends with the same interest.

Later, he met a man named Thornton it really like. They go to the eastern treasure hunt, Thornton was killed by indians. In revenge for Thornton, Buck returned to nature.

故事中巴克的形象是强者的象征，在严酷的生存环境中有着坚强的意志、顽强的生存力量和机敏的生存智慧。它来到新的环境中后并不愿意受其他强者的控制，而是努力适应，不断斗争，成为了新的强者，体现出了“适者生存”这条法则。它虽然是条狗，但如果换作我们，也未必能在那样残酷的环境中生存下来，更不可能成为那里的强者。所以，我们在现实中也该像巴克那样顽强、不屈、不放弃希望，毕竟，在未来的社会中，我们也可能会经历挫折、翻天覆地的变化，而如果我们能有巴克那样的精神，才可能使我们成功。

The story of Bucks image is a symbol of a strong survival wisdom, strong will, tenacious survival strength and agility in the harsh living environment. It came to control the new environment after is not willing to suffer other strong, but efforts to adapt to, continue to struggle, become a new strong, reflects the "survival of the fittest" this rule. Although it is a dog, but if for the rest of us, may not be able to survive in such cruel environment down there, are less likely to become strong. So, in reality we should like buck as tenacious, unyielding, dont give up hope, after all, in the future society, we may also experience changes in frustration, turn the world upside down, and if we can have the buck that spirit, it may lead us to success.

而现在，如果我们遇到一点挫折就被打倒，那么就还不如一条狗，也更不会在将来有大的作为。

Now, if we encounter a little frustration was down, so is also not a dog, nor as large in the future.

After I read "the destruction of the old Summer Palace", I think the robbers very hateful!

In 1860, British and French troops robbed the old Summer Palace treasures, later gave burning yuanmingyuan. Later came to rob the eight yuanmingyuan artefacts. This proves that the qing dynasty backward and corruption. Only man can have a good life in the palace in qing dynasty, the beggar day all the people will come in.

When the bad guys to the emperor ran, garden soldiers had to keep watching cultural relics were robbed. Many people committed suicide. Delays are dangerous, so, we want to be strong. Only in this way will not be bullied.

We cant forget about the old Summer Palace, yuanmingyuan many treasures were lost to overseas, spent tens of millions of Chinese people bought things looted, let us make more think more angry, it also suggests that weaker underdeveloped countries at that time, will in this way, if the country strong we will not be bullied, also wont spend money to buy back their own stuff.

Now the old Summer Palace was the invaders to its former glory, thought of these I felt so angry and infinite regret.

我读了《圆明园的毁灭》后，我觉得那些强盗十分可恶!

1860年英法联军抢了圆明园的宝物，后来把圆明园给烧了。后来八国联军又来抢圆明园的文物。这证明了清朝的落后和腐败。在清朝只有皇宫里的人才能过好日子，百姓全部要过那种要饭的日子。

在坏人来的时候，皇帝跑了，守园士兵只好眼睁睁的看着文物被人抢走。许多人都自杀了。落后就要挨打，所以，我们要强大起来。只有这样才不会被人欺负。

我们不可以忘了圆明园的事，圆明园许多宝物都流失到了海外，中国人花了几千万买回了被掠夺的东西，让我们后人越想越气愤，这也说明国家那时候弱小不发达，才会这样，如果国家强大我们也不会被欺负，也不会再花冤枉钱买回属于自己的东西。

如今的圆明园已被侵略者掠去了昔日的辉煌，想到这些我感到无比的愤怒和无限的惋惜。

我买过两个版本的《老人与海》，也读过两个版本的《老人与海》。无论是什么样的语言，海明威的这部小说带给了我无数的震撼与感动。

“一艘船越过世界的尽头，驶向未知的大海，船头上悬挂着一面虽然饱经风雨剥蚀却依旧艳丽无比的旗帜，旗帜上，舞动着云龙一般的四个字闪闪发光——超越极限!”作者海明威是这样评价他的作品《老人与海》的。

文章写的是古巴老渔夫圣地亚哥在连续八十四天没捕到鱼的情况下，终于独自钓上了一条大马林鱼，但这鱼实在太大，把他的小船在海上拖了三天才筋疲力尽，被他杀死了绑在小船的一边，在归程中一再遭到鲨鱼的袭击，最后回港时只剩鱼头鱼尾和一条脊骨。

“人不是为失败而生的”，“一个人可以被毁灭，却不能被打败”，这是圣地亚哥的信念，也是《老人与海》中作者要表明的思想。通过圣地亚哥的形象，作者热情地赞颂了人类面对艰难困苦时所显示的坚不可摧的精神力量。

老人圣地亚哥是海明威所冲少的完美的人的象征：坚强、宽厚、仁慈、充满爱心，即使在人生的角斗场上失败了，面对不可逆转的命运，他仍然是精神上的强者，是“硬汉”。他们在面对外界巨大的压力和厄运打击时，仍然坚强不屈，勇往直前，甚至视死如归，他们尽管失败了，却保持了人的尊严和勇气，有着胜利者的风度。

老人是乐观的，老人是有信心的，老人是耐性的，老人是多情的，老人是勇敢的，老人更是英雄!作者考虑到作为一位老人的苦境：要与年龄、平穷、孤独和死亡斗争来女里维持他的身份和尊严，要重新确立他在生活圈中的名声，要与那些他爱的人和能够传承传统文化的人保持良好的关系。最终，圣地亚哥英雄式的斗争不仅挽救了他自己，也鼓舞了他周围的人，并使他们得到了精神上的升华。

海明威并没有给予老人成功，却赋予老人在压力下优雅而坚韧的形象。

骨骼是精神的支柱，海明威看似没有让老人桑提亚哥成功，却以光秃秃的骨骼奏出了老人生命的硬度。

一个简单的故事，一个平凡的老人，一条普通的大马林鱼，在茫茫大海上发生了看似平凡而又不平凡的经历。

海明威留下了一句耐人寻味的话语：我试图塑造一位真正的老人、一个真正的孩子、一片真正的海、一条真正的鱼和真正的鲨鱼。如果我能将他们塑造得十分出色和真实，他们将以为许多东西。

“在路另一头的棚屋里，老人又睡着了。他还是脸朝下睡着，而那个孩子就坐在他旁白，看着他。老人正梦见狮子。”“Up the road, in his shack,the old man was sleeping again.He was still sleeping on his face and-the boy was sitting by him watching him.The old man was dreaming about the lions.”

无论是哪种语言，那个老人教会我坚强，教会我仁慈，教会我成长，教会我爱。

《巴黎圣母院》是雨果第一部大型浪漫主义小说。它以离奇和对比的手法写了一个发生在15世纪法国的故事。下面是语文迷网为大家提供的英语读后感，希望对你有帮助。

"Notre Dame de Paris" is the famous 19th century French writer Victor Hugos masterpiece. 15th century novel about the bizarre life of Paris, compared with the way the author depicts a group of distinctive character of a lively, very artistic appeal of the characters to disputes between the complicated contradictions and tragic fate of a rich complex analysis of the human world.

Finally, Hugo on the scene Xiabi qualities momentum, the figures describing the delicate place, sophisticated analogy, the best description of the details of the capture, gave novel grace, and the other people reading and cheered. These practices can also learn from our usual in writing, so that the articles more!

今天，我读了《老人与海鸥》这篇文章，让我憎恨那些非法猎杀野生动物的不法分子。

本文主要讲了：老人每天的坚持从城郊赶到翠湖给海鸥喂食以及海鸥之间的深厚情谊，老人死后，海鸥在遗像前为老人送行的故事。

本文以生动的语言、动作、神态描写，为我们展示了人与动物之间的和谐和动物富有灵性的丰富情感。让我们看到人与动物之间的和谐原来那么美好，令人向往。

读了这篇文章，我想到了那些偷猎者，他们为了赚黑钱，贩卖野生动物而背叛了自己的良心。让动物朋友对我们人类提高警惕、它们活也活的不自由。

如果我们一起去爱护它们就会让人类呵护它们，就会让人类与动物成为亲密无间的朋友。曹植说：“本是同根生，相煎何太急。”

动物也是地球母亲的“孩子”，它们也有权利生活子地球上，既然我们都是地球生物，又为何尔虞我诈呢?又为何有智商高低之分呢?

让我们一起保护动物吧。

“又转了一圈，鱼背露出来了，但它这会儿离船还太远了点儿。又一圈，还是太远，不过它又浮出来了一些。老头儿盘算着，再收些绳子，就可以叫它靠拢过来。它已准备好了鱼叉，系叉的又是一盘轻巧的绳子，装在一个圆篮子里，绳的那头儿拴在船头系在缆绳的木桩上。这时候，鱼已经转了向，往船这边过来了。它游得静静的，全身只有大尾巴划着水，稳稳地朝前走。老头儿拼命地拽紧绳子，想把鱼往船边拉。他咬牙猛使劲儿，一拉绳子鱼跟着偏了一下，不过他马上就扳正了，又接着转圈。”

这段话选自《老人与海》，它描写了老人钓鱼时的情景。

《老人与海》讲述了一个真实的故事：一位老人独自在海上钓鱼。他在钓一条大鱼，可是这条鱼拼命地挣扎，老人费了九牛二虎之力才把它钓上来。就在这时，他又遇上了鲨鱼，老人使出了浑身解数和鲨鱼搏斗，最终战胜了鲨鱼，终于把这条800多磅的大鱼捕回了家。好大的一条鱼啊，而且是徒手和鲨鱼拼搏后而捕到的，这不是一条普通的鱼，我们很难感受到这个渔民这时的快乐。

在这个真实的故事里，作者让我们看到了桑提阿果爷爷这样一位普通而又可敬的劳动者，他不被任何困难所屈服，尽自己最大的努力与生活中的磨难做不屈不挠的斗争。这种永不言败的硬骨头精神永远贯穿在《老人与海》故事的始终。在日常生活中，我们也会遇到许多失败，其实并不可怕，只要我们有桑提阿果爷爷这种永不言败的精神，就能够战胜这些失败。有一次，我遇到一道很难的数学题，开始我感觉很难，怎么也做不出来，这时就想放弃听老师讲了在做。后来我想，我还没好好地动脑筋，只是做一下就感到难就放弃，怎么行呢?不行，再试试看。结果我通过了画图，竟然做出来了。

这时，我的心真的好阳光灿烂啊!充分享受着战胜失败的快乐，这真是阳光总在暴风雨后啊!从这件事说明，我们做什么事都要有永不言败的精神。同学们去读《老人与海》吧!去和桑提阿果爷爷一起享受经过种种困难后而捕到那么大一条鱼的喜悦吧!

《百万英镑》是马克.吐温写的一篇中篇幽默讽刺小说。本文故事是，一位公务员出海时在公海中迷了路，被救起后随船到了英国。在英国他成了流浪汉，因为一次两名富翁打赌，给他了一张100万英镑整的钞票，看他可不可以养活自己一个月。因为无法证明钞票归他所有，他一开始不敢花，后来实在饿得没有办法，拿钞票去饭店试试，结果店老板认为他是个富翁，允许他欠账，还想送给他东西，讨好他。结果他用这种方式，弄够了所有生活用品，还和别人合作赚了30万英镑。

这篇文章讽刺了那些以貌取人、见钱眼开的人。这些人见对方有钱，就甘愿为对方服务，而对于对方虚实，一概不问。他们这类人为金钱服务，信奉 “金钱万能”。这种人若变多，就会助长“金钱万能”这种社会风气的形成，金钱会异化成为人们的唯一动力。当前我们身边社会，也有这种习气的存在。从大处说，去年曾有某造纸工厂排污不达标一次用120万元买断全年的罚款，从小处说，找人办事送礼成风也是这种习气的体现。因此，我们不能信奉“金钱万能”，而且凡遇到事情，应该从本质着眼，看清事物的真相，而不应只看表面，不应盲从。

I first read "Jane Eyre" in eighth grade and have read it every few years since.

It is one of my favorite novels, and so much more than a gothic romance to me, although thats how I probably would have defined it at age 13.

I have always been struck, haunted in a way, by the characters - Jane and Mr.

Rochester.

They take on new depth every time I meet them...and theirs is a love story for the ages.

Charlotte Brontes first published novel, and her most noted work, is a semi-autobiographical coming-of-age story.

Jane is plain, poor, alone and unprotected, but due to her fierce independence and strong will she grows and is able to defy societys expectations of her.

This is definitely feminist literature, published in 1847, way before the beginning of any feminist movement.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the novel has had such a wide following since it first came on the market.

It is also one of the first gothic romances published and defines the genre.

Jane Eyre, who is our narrator, was born into a poor family.

Her parents died when she was a small child and the little girl was sent to live with her Uncle and Aunt Reed at Gateshead.

Janes Uncle truly cared for her and showed his affection openly, but Mrs.

Reed seemed to hate the orphan, and neglected her while she pampered and spoiled her own children.

This unfair treatment emphasized Janes status as an unwanted outsider.

She was often punished harshly.

On one occasion her nasty cousin Jack picked a fight with her.

Jane tried to defend herself and was locked in the terrifying "Red Room" as a result.

Janes Uncle Reed had died in this room a little while before, and Mrs.

Reed knew how frightened she was of the chamber.

Since Jane is the narrator, the reader is given a first-hand impression of the childs feelings, her heightened emotional state at being imprisoned.

Indeed, she seems almost like an hysterical child, filled with terror and rage.

She repeatedly calls her condition in life "unjust" and is filled with bitterness.

Looking into the mirror Jane sees a distorted image of herself.

She views her reflection and sees a "strange little figure," or "tiny phantom." Jane has not learned yet to subordinate her passions to her reason.

Her passions still erupt unchecked.

Her isolation in the Red Room is a presentiment of her later isolation from almost every society and community.

This powerful, beautifully written scene never fails to move me.

Mrs.

Reed decided to send Jane away to the Lowood School, a poor institution run by Mr.

Brocklehurst, who believed that suffering made grand people.

All the children there were neglected, except to receive harsh punishment when any mistake was made.

At Lowood, Jane met Helen Burns, a young woman a little older than Jane, who guided her with vision, light and love for the rest of her life.

Janes need for love was so great.

It really becomes obvious in this first friendship.

Helen later died from fever, in Janes arms.

Her illness and death could have been avoided if more attention had been paid to the youths.

Jane stayed at Lowood for ten years, eight as a student and two as a teacher.

Tired and depressed by her surroundings, Jane applied for the position of governess and found employment at Thornfield.

The mansion is owned by a gentleman named Edward Fairfax Rochester.

Her job there was to teach his ward, an adorable little French girl, Adele.

Over a long period the moody, inscrutable Rochester confides in Jane and she in him.

The two form an unlikely friendship and eventually fall in love.

Again, Janes need for love comes to the fore, as does her passionate nature.

She blooms.

A dark, gothic figure, Rochester also has a heart filled with the hope of true love and future happiness with Jane.

Ironically, he has brought all his misery, past and future, on himself.

All is not as it seems at Thornfield.

There is a strange, ominous woman servant, Grace Poole, who lives and works in an attic room.

She keeps to herself and is rarely seen.

From the first, however, Jane has sensed bizarre happenings at night, when everyone is asleep .There are wild cries along with violent attempts on Rochesters life by a seemingly unknown person.

Jane wonders why no one investigates Mrs.

Poole.

Then a strange man visits Thornfield and mysteriously disappears with Mr.

Rochester.

Late that night Jane is asked to sit with the man while the lord of the house seeks a doctors help.

The man has been seriously wounded and is weak from loss of blood.

He leaves by coach, in a sorry state, first thing in the morning.

Janes questions are not answered directly.

This visit will have dire consequences on all involved.

An explosive secret revealed will destroy all the joyful plans that Jane and Rochester have made.

Jane, once more will face poverty and isolation.

Charlotte Brontes heroine Jane Eyre, may not have been graced with beauty or money, but she had a spirit of fire and was filled with integrity and a sense of independence - character traits that never waned in spite of all the oppression she encountered in life.

Ms.

Bronte brings to the fore in "Jane Eyre" such issues as: the relations between men and women in the mid-19 century, womens equality, the treatment of children and of women, religious faith and hypocrisy (and the difference between the two), the realization of selfhood, and the nature of love and passion.

This is a powerhouse of a novel filled with romance, mystery and passions.

It is at once startlingly fresh and a portrait of the times.

Ms.

Bronte will make your heart beat faster, your pulse race and your eyes fill with tears.

The author pays homage to Hans Christian Andersens compassionate tale with this faithful adaptation. Kids can relate to the ducklings dilemma; part of the growing-up process is pulling away from those around you and developing a strong sense of self. Children have also witnessed or experienced the teasing that is part and parcel of childhood.

This ageless story speaks across generations with its reaffirming message. In this age of instant gratification, Andersens tale reminds readers that some things are worth waiting for and that a pleasure deferred (whether by choice or necessity) is often the sweetest one of all.

Pinkneys descriptive passages resonate with the splendor of natures beauty. The glowing watercolors, filled with intricate details, make each blade of grass visible, and the delicately drawn, nearly transparent mosquitoes are as ethereal as they are in life. The subtle details incorporated into the scenes--a frog catching a passing fly at the pond and a tiny mouse perched by a crate in the old womans cottage--make children take another look.

One day he heard a sound of whirring wings, and up in the air he saw a flock of birds flying high. They were as bright as the snow that had fallen during the night, and their long necks were stretched southward. Oh, if only he could go with them! But what sort of companion could he be to those beautiful beings?

I am too ugly even for a dog to eat, the duckling thought. Jerry Pinkneys poignant text and rich artwork convey the timeless appeal of this tale of hardship and redemption. Anyone who has suffered the sting of ostracism can sympathize with the ugly ducklings plight and will relish the uplifting conclusion.
