暮光之城读后感英文(推荐20篇)

The Gift of the Magi is a short story wrote by O.Henry.This story tells that in the day before Christmas,a poor young couple exchanged gifts by sold the most precious thing of each,but resulted ordetracted, the two precious gifts all became useless things.While they got the most precious thing than any material objects——love.

After read this story,I learned how to respect others love and how to love others.In this story,they all lost the most valuable things——Jims golden watch and Dellas beautiful hair. Behind this, I saw they loved each other infinitely.They loved their family, they let me feel that cold Christmas Eve has become the warm heaven just because of their gifts. If Della only took one dollar and eighty-seven cents to pick gift,this story will probably lacking of shocking, and also cannot cause readers thinking.

In this materialistic society, people often use money to measure gifts.When bags of gifts which are packaging delicately in front of us,what can we see except empty and blank? Parents feel happy because of our simple greeting cards in their birthday,because of a few words of blessing.These gifts,simple but true.It cant be compared with those which built with a lot of money, outlined by luxuriance. What clever gifts! In some sense, they are invaluable.

Yes,in this materialistic society,some people think money is everything,the one who owns money,who owns all.No wonder a great amount of girls became mammonists,and want to marry richers;no wonder more and more men think that there is no true love,what girls love is their money. But I always believe sincere love is existed and its priceless. Even if you have millions of money, you cant change it into true love. Maybe money can let you get some feelings from girls, but those are hypocritical. When you no longer possess vast wealth, the hypocritical feelings will ended and left you extremely painful finally.Jim and Della were a happy couple, although they were poor, living in short of money.In their hearts, money is not important, the important thing is the affection from each other.As long as they have it, they felt happier than any millionaire.

Maybe some people will pour scorn on it and cannot understand what their done. If there is a good fortune and a sincere feeling in front of you at the same time, which one will you choose? I wouldnt hesitate to choose the later, because sincere feeling is priceless! I believe that true pay will have sincere return finally, and the one who have true love can have his or her happiness.

Nowadays,more and more people have been pressed to lose their breath by the reality.They forgot the persons they love,and the persons who love them.We need to care about others,no matter how much money we have.What our loved one need is how our concern about him or her. In some important days,dont forget to bring him or her some gifts.No matter what is it,how valuable is it,he or she would like it anyway.

Because it is the gift of the Magi.

A piggy named Wilbur and a spider named Charlotte became friend. The future of this poor piggy is a delicious course of the Christmas feast. Though ever considering escaping, yet after all he is only a pig. While Charlotte--although be viewed as small and insignificant--said, "Let me help you!" Whereupon she used her silk to weave words such as "Some Pig" and "Terrific" in her web, which are regarded as a marvel by human beings. Those marvelous words alter Wilburs destiny, and finally earned him a happy and peace future. Nevertheless, at that moment, the life of Charlotte almost completed its span...

The most impressive episode of this book is the notable friendship between Charlotte and Wilbur. A spider is a threat to a piggy at first glance, but loneliness suddenly makes Wilbur be familiar with Charlotte and surprisingly he found that this spider is extraordinary warmhearted.

What impressed us deeply is the words "You never die, Ill save you!"by Charlotte when Wilbur was wailing "I dont wanna die! I dont!" To fulfill her promise, Charlotte devoted all her lifetime and asked no rewards, until the moment she died.

Such kind of friendship is pure and clean, Only leaving the selfless love and pure kindness. When this sort of emotion has already been lacked seriously in contemporary society, this story undoubtedly moves the readers. Maybe every reader envies that Charlotte has a Wilbur, and Wilbur has a Charlotte.

The word "Goodbye" has already gone with the wind, accompanied by her silk, only leaving a Charlottes web in everyones heart.

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.

In “Pride and Prejudice”， the sister of Mr. Bingley strongly opposed his plan of marrying Jane because the Bennets don’t have many possessions and their social positions are much lower than them. From this, we can see there are a lot of obstacles for a not very rich woman to marry a wealthy husband. The society, the relatives would not allow them to get married.

In modern society, although the marriages of economic needs have decreased rapidly, the concept of “money determines everything” is still rooted in some people’s mind. A lot of parents try hard to interfere their children’s marriages. Education background, possessions, jobs remains the main reason that may influence one’s marriage. Marry for money is still a big problem in our society. We can’t help thinking: can money determine everything?

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

Today I have read Helen Keller’s “Three Days to See”.I have read this article in the chinese teaching material when I was in high school.This article impressed me.It told me how lucky we are.We should aprrecaite that we are healthy.Healthiness is riches.So today I read this article again.Whenever I read this article,compare with Helen Keller,I think we should treasure our life,god has given us sight so we can see a lot of good things,so we can know how beautiful this world is,so we can know how wonderful we can live in our coloreful life.

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

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

One can die at any moment,no matter how healthy or in what physical shape he is.As for this,Helen came across many instances.She had asked her friend what she had seen after taking a walk through the woods,and her friend replied,“Nothing in particular.” Her friend gave she this answer,because her friend become accustomed to see the routine of their surroundings,and her eyes only can be attracted by startling and spectacular things.I think if we only have sight for 3 days we will give another answer.

I appreciate Hellen Keller.Her life is a miracle,she stronly face the difficulties which can detroy one’s mind of living.Her life is a tragedy,but the world in her heart is full of love.Her spirit will encourage all of us,forever.

The Scarlet Letter offers an extraordinary insight into the norms and behavior of the 17th century if American Puritan society.The basic conflicts and problems of its main characters,however,are familiar to readers in the present.The female protagonist,has borne a child out of wedlock and has been jailed for over three months and sentenced to wear a symbol of her adultery,a scarlet “A” on her dress at all times.It concerns about the moral,emotional and psychological effect of the sin on people in general.It’s not simply a love story or a story of sin.The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne uses the scarlet letters to symbolize the harshness of Puritan society,showing how they brand sinners for life.

The story happened in Boston about 200 years ago.It narrates love affairs between three persons.The punished woman.Hester Prynne and his husband.Who called himself Roger Chillingworth .He is an old misshapen man and a doctor.Hester does not love him at all.Another man is a young minister,Dimmesdale,who has a high position among ministers and is highly respected among his people in town.Hester and Dimmesdale love each other.But their love is forbidden in that time .It is sinful.Due to this,Hester is punished by society with a letter A on her chest,which considered an evil,a shame.

In this novel,the mainline seems to be around the letter A.Hester is brave enough to face the cruel reality.She is always with a mind of courage.She has been alone with her child for so long ,with litter communication.Shame!Hopelessness!Loneliness!Hester has to wear the letter A day after day,seven years as for punishment and ill fame.

When a woman has lived through a difficult experience,her character changes a great deal.If she be all tenderness,she will die.If she survive,the tenderness will leave her .Hester’s charitable deeds and quiet humility have earned her a reprieve from the scorn of the community.The letter on her chest represents her work on earth ,always helping others,without expecting any thanks.Never afterwards,does that scarlet letter leave her chest.The townspeople no longer view the letter as a punishment ,but rather as representing her great strength and bravery and thy say it means “Able”.

But Arthur Dimmesdale,his sin against Hester and Pearl is that he will not acknowledge them as his wife and daughter in the daylight.He keeps his dreadful secret from all those under his care in the church for seven years for fear that he will lose their love and will not be forgiven.He is too weak to admit his sins.He suffers from mysterious heart trouble,seemingly caused by psychological distress.What’s worse,he is an advisor to the townspeople about their sins.

After Mr.Dimmesdale’s death ,no one changes more in appearance than Roger Chilling worth.All his strength and energy has been used to harm his patient .This unhappy man has made his aim in life to add to the suffering of the young minister.When the evil old man no longer has such a purpose,the devil takes him back to the hell .It is a curious subject of observation,however,whether hatred or love are not of the same place.Each takes a great deal of emotion from one person.The two feelings seem basically the same,expect that one is smiled upon by God,while the other is worshipped by the devil.

I have never thought so thin a book which is called The Catcher in the Rye can influence me so much. It makes me feel very impressive. And after reading this book， I have aroused many thoughts about it.

In todays literature world， The Catcher in the Rye is to be recognized as a modern classic. After reading this book， adults can increase the understanding of teenagers; young people can increase the understanding of their future life. No matter whom after reading this book will improve their ability about to be vigilant against the reality. It also can make you choose one self-reliance way to your future easily.

This book told us a profound significance story. The of this novel Holden hated all the hypocritical things and really wanted to pursuit the pure reality at first. Because of the development of his society， he finally submits to the development process of the social reality. It deeply show the loneliness， loss， pain of younger generation which is grow up after the World War II in U.S.

Well， I think that though Holden used to seeing the reality of Bourgeois society， and he must promise with realistic society in the end， he also have many courage to have a try to rebel against the hypocritical world. This spirit should be set up if we want to improve the process of the world.

Now， we live in a country， which is in great reformation， and everything in the process of changing development. Well， with the development of our country; peoples thought also is in the change. At the same time， many peoples thoughts start confusion and depression. They forgotten their initial dreams and have no enthusiasm gradually. So， in the end， they began to yearn for mediocrity and have nothing to do.

Perhaps we can learn from this book to find our own shadow. To a certain extent that it reflects many characteristics of the adolescents， and we can also see the dark side of the society. With the materials progress， the spiritual world is inevitably producing some changes. At that time， what we need is a change which can make our dream into a reality. Therefore， what we should do is not to hope， not to wait， not to plain， but from now on， just start from your own efforts and watch your initial dream. Youd try your best to create the life you want with your own hands.

《雾都孤儿》是狄更斯第一部社会小说，小说中“奥利弗要求添粥”一节已被编入多种英语教科书中。以下是小编带来的雾都孤儿英文读后感，希望对你有帮助。

Here I am sitting on a couch alone thinking about what I have just finished reading with tears of sadness filling my eyes and fire of indignation filling my heart which revived my exhausted soul that has already been covered by the cruelty and the selfishness of the secular world for a long time. It is truly what I felt after reading Oliver Twist written by the prominent British author Charles Dickens.

The resonance between me and the book makes me feel not only the kindness and the wickedness of all the characters in the novel but what this aloof society lacks and what I lack deep inside. These supreme resources I’m talking about right now are somewhat different from minerals oil that we usually mention. They’re abstract like feelings and some kinds of spiritual stimulation that all of us desire anxiously from one another —— love and care.

Those charitable figures whom Dickens created in the novel are really what we need in life. They showed love and care to others just as the gentle rain from the sky fell upon the earth which was carved into my heart deeply.

Mr. Brownlow is one such person.

The other day he had one of his elaborate watches stolen by two skilled teenage thieves Artful Dodger and Charley Bates and thought naturally it was Oliver who was an orphan and forced to live with a gang of thieves that had done it because he was the only one near by after the theft had taken place. Being wrathful he caught Oliver and sent him to the police station where the ill-tempered unfair magistrates worked. Fortunately for him Oliver was proved innocent by one onlooker afterwards. With sympathy Mr. Brownlow took the injured poor Oliver to his own home. There Oliver lived freely and gleefully for some months as if he were Mr. Brownlow’s own son. One day however Mr. Brownlow asked Oliver to return some books to the bookseller and to send some money for the new books that he had already collected. The thief Oliver once stayed with kidnapped him. After that he disappeared in Mr. Brownlow’s life. Searching for a while Mr. Brownlow had to believe the fact that he had run away with his money. But dramatically they came across each other again a few years later. Without hesitation Mr. Brownlow took Oliver home for the second time not caring if he had done something evil.

Perhaps most of us would feel confused about Mr. Brownlow’s reaction. But as a matter of fact this is just the lesson we should learn from him. Jesus said in the Bible. “Forgive not seven times but seventy-times seven.” Why is that? Because forgiveness is our ability to remove negative thoughts and neutralize them so our energy may be spent on doing what we came here for. We cannot move forward in our future if past issues cloud our thinking. Stop put Mr. Brownlow into the list of your models. Always give people a second chance no matter what they might have done. That’s also a substantial part of loving and caring others.

Then there are Mrs. Maylie and Rose Oliver’s other benefactors. Maybe the reason they loved and cared Oliver was not because of forgiveness. In my point of view it was trust. They had faith in Oliver when he was considered to be a filthy burglar who tried to break the front door of Maylie’s at midnight. But this wasn’t how these two ladies saw the whole thing. They denied Oliver’s crime immediately and listened attentively to Oliver’s own description of his miserable life. They were deeply touched by Oliver’s strong perseverance and astonishing vitality. Accordingly they remedied Oliver’s body and heart and turned him into a different boy. He began to wear appropriate and clean suits which were tailor-made for him and receive education.

As far as we can see it is trust that helps us all live together without precaution. Sometimes trust can even lead us to miracles which we often expect to come about so why not trust? Trust yourself trust others and you’ll salute miracles every single day.

In the novel though the young Oliver again and again fell for conspiracies of those hideous thieves who tried to torture Oliver’s body and poisoned Oliver’s heart intensely he always lived on and tried hard to seek for his own life. Then I realized what supported him all through were actually beliefs. In most cases what you believe is what you’ll become. Believe that you are unlimited that you can do anything you commit to doing and when you do your accomplishments will know no bounds. You control your beliefs and that is how you ultimately control your life. It’s all dictated by your attitude.

In the final analysis love and care contain numerous forms there are love of forgiveness love of trust etc. but they all come from your beliefs in life. When someone tells you he’s deceived you forgive him anyway when someone tells you what he’s done trust him anyway and when you face adversities while chasing your dreams think about your beliefs then what hinders you will become a piece of cake in no time.

So find out “Olivers” in your life and do as Mr. Brownlow and Mrs. Maylie do: love them and care them which cost nothing but save much. They enrich those who receive without impoverishing those who give. They can be certain smallest words or actions but the memory of them sometimes last forever.

Charles Dickens said:“Love makes the world go around.” These immortal words have inspired and will keep on inspiring us to chant the melody of love and to say the prayer of care forevermore. Let us therefore enjoy life and treat other people lovingly. These principles are the roots and foundations of beliefs supporting this article and our mission together.

one of the most interesting questions about gullivers travels is whether the houyhnhnms represent an ideal of rationality or whether on the other hand they are the butt of swifts satire. in other words, in book iv, is swift poking fun at the talking horses or does he intend for us to take them seriously as the proper way to act? if we look closely at the way that the houyhnhnms act, we can see that in fact swift does not take them seriously: he uses them to show the dangers of pride.

first we have to see that swift does not even take gullver seriously. for instance, his name sounds much like gullible, which suggests that he will believe anything. also, when he first sees the yahoos and they throw excrement on him, he responds by doing the same in return until they run away. he says, "i must needs discover some more rational being," even though as a human he is already the most rational being there is. this is why swift refers to erasmus darwins discovery of the origin of the species and the voyage of the beagle-to show how gulliver knows that people are at the top of the food chain. but if lemule gulliver is satirized, so are the houyhnhnms, whose voices sound like the call of castrati. they walk on two legs instead of four, and seem to be much like people. as gulliver says, "it was with the utmost astonishment that i witnessed these creatures playing the flute and dancing a vienese waltz. to my mind, they seemed like the greatest humans ever seen in court, even more dextrous than the lord edmund burke" . as this quote demonstrates, gulliver is terribly impressed, but his admiration for the houyhnhnms is short-lived because they are so prideful. for instance, the leader of the houyhnhnms claims that he has read all the works of charles dickens, and that he can singlehandedly recite the names of all the kings and queens of england up to george ii. swift subtly shows that this houyhnhnms pride is misplaced when, in the middle of the intellectual competition, he forgets the name of queen elizabeths husband.

swifts satire of the houyhnhnms comes out in other ways as well. one of the most memorable scenes is when the dapple grey mare attempts to woo the horse that guenivre has brought with him to the island. first she acts flirtatiously, parading around the bewildered horse. but when this does not have the desired effect, she gets another idea: "as i watched in amazement from my perch in the top of a tree, the sorrel nag dashed off and returned with a yahoo on her back who was yet more monstrous than mr. pope being fitted by a clothier. she dropped this creature before my nag as if offering up a sacrifice. my horse sniffed the creature and turned away." it might seem that we should take this scene seriously as a failed attempt at courtship, and that consequently we should see the grey mare as an unrequited lover. but it makes more sense if we see that swift is being satiric here: it is the female houyhnhnm who makes the move, which would not have happened in eighteenth-century england. the houyhnhm is being prideful, and it is that pride that makes him unable to impress gullivers horse. gulliver imagines the horse saying, sblood, the notion of creating the bare backed beast with an animal who had held mr. pope on her back makes me queezy .

a final indication that the houyhnmns are not meant to be taken seriously occurs when the leader of the houynhms visits lilliput, where he visits the french royal society. he goes into a room in which a scientist is trying to turn wine into water (itself a prideful act that refers to the marriage at gallilee). the scientist has been working hard at the experiment for many years without success, when the houyhnmn arrives and immediately knows that to do: "the creature no sooner stepped through the doorway than he struck upon a plan. slurping up all the wine in sight, he quickly made water in a bucket that sat near the door" .

he has accomplished the scientists goal, but the scientist is not happy, for his livelihood has now been destroyed. swifts clear implication is that even though the houyhnhmns are smart, they do not know how to use that knowledge for the benefit of society, only for their own prideful agrandizement.

throughout gullivers travels, the houyhnhms are shown to be an ideal gone wrong. though their intent might have been good, they dont know how to do what they want to do because they are filled with pride. they mislead gulliver and they even mislead themselves. the satire on them is particularly well explained by the new born houyhnhm who, having just been born, exclaims, "with this sort of entrance, what must i expect from the rest of my life!" .

——my thoughts after reading Joan of Arc

Sunshine shines over the statue in Orleans. The ordinary but famous girl named Joan is riding on her horse, smiling and looking down at the land that she has loved and fought on. She is the heroine of France, the saint from heaven. Her influences shine over every person’s heart, and I am deeply impressed by her story.

When Louis XIII was the king, the British and the Burundians invaded France and wanted to have the northern part of France. Joan helped French people coronate their new king, Louis XIV, getting almost all the invaded land back with the help of three saints. But after that, she was caught by the Burundians and was burnt on a cross by her enemy. This is the famous story about Joan, the saint. From a village girl to a national heroine, she only used a few years. How could Joan of Arc do that? I wonder.

Someone says the saints have chosen her and the God has given her power. But actually the real virgin doesn’t exist, From the birth of Jesus Christ in the first century, people have controlled the Christianity. I think the religion has become a tool between people. This kind of opinion about the success of Joan must be wrong.

Someone said, Joan had this wonderful success because of her confidence and will. I quite agree with this opinion. Because there aren’t any virgins in the world, so I think the appearance of the saints was only in Joan’s mind, actually nothing special happened to Joan. I think the things which really mattered were Joan’s thoughts. In my opinion, Joan must have some military ability to lead the whole army, because of her unusual image, Joan became more confident to the success. It let Joan had the will to be successful. So the success before did not happen by accident,. After some battles, Joan said that she had lost her support from the saints, but actually this didn’t mind. The more important thing was that she had lost her confidence and will, so she lost the battle at last.

So I think confidence and will are just like the foundation of success. All the success depends on them.

In the real world, confidence and will is always very important. During the XX Athens Olympic Games, Li Ting and Sun Tiantian have won the gold medal for the women’s double in the tennis game. It was the first time our anthem playing on the tennis court. Some medium says that they have won by chance. It was only a fairy tale. But I don’t think so. Actually they have won because of their believing in themselves, because they have confidence and will, so they have created a fairy tale in Greece. Their confidence and will have made the success, not by accident.

In our daily life, we must have confidence and will as well. Before the test we need to be confident to our actual strength or we’ll not give full play to our initiative. We need to be confident when we are speaking in public or others will not remember you among all the speakers. We need to have will in studying or we’ll not learn things solidly. We need to have will in our daily life or we’ll give up the things we are doing now. If we have confidence and will in our daily life, then I believe you’ll live brighter.

This is a story book, the inside of the story is preposterous, quirky and funny; This is a but with more than pages of books, the show is just a little girl in a long afternoon met there can all kinds of animals and men; This is also a even in fairy tale books seem most ordinary book, all the characters in the story can speak, all with their own idea-this and any a fairy tale almost no different than any.

From beginning to end, the story is so strange. Alice has been somehow become bigger or smaller that I almost drowned by his own tears; She met a lot of animals and a lot of people, try to talk and talk to them, but they are not completely normal, and it is not friendly; She has not been ?

翻译：

中文：这是一本故事书，里面的故事荒诞不经，离奇而可笑;这是一本不过百余页的书，所展现的仅仅是一个小女孩在一个漫长的下午遇见的各种不可能存在的动物和人;这也是一本即使在童话书中都显得极其普通的书，故事中的所有角色都会说话，都有自己的想法——这与任何一个童话故事相比几乎没有任何不同。

从头至尾，整个故事都是那样的奇怪。爱丽丝一直莫名其妙地变大变小，以至于差点被自己的眼泪淹死;她见到了很多动物和很多人，试着和他们聊天说话，只是他们都完全不正常，而且并不友好;她一直不停地问这问那，但是对方——不管是谁都不会给她一个合乎常理的答案，可是爱丽丝居然还会相信!这一切都让我如此地哭笑不得。当爱丽丝梦游的时候，我好像也在梦游。看着一堆错误赫然摆在眼前，而我，却束手无策：这就是所谓的“仙境”吗?

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.

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.

In “Pride and Prejudice”, the sister of Mr. Bingley strongly opposed his plan of marrying Jane because the Bennets don’t have many possessions and their social positions are much lower than them. From this, we can see there are a lot of obstacles for a not very rich woman to marry a wealthy husband. The society, the relatives would not allow them to get married.

In modern society, although the marriages of economic needs have decreased rapidly, the concept of “money determines everything” is still rooted in some people’s mind. A lot of parents try hard to interfere their children’s marriages. Education background, possessions, jobs remains the main reason that may influence one’s marriage. Marry for money is still a big problem in our society. We can’t help thinking: can money determine everything?

This is a wonderful, beautiful epic of a novel. Set in Afghanistan and the United States between the 1970s to the present day, it is a heartbreaking tale of a young boy, Amir, and his best friend who are torn apart. This is a classic word-of-mouth novel and is sure to become as universally loved as The God of Small Things and The Glass Palace.

Twelve year old Amir is desperate to win the approval of his father Baba, one of the richest and most respected merchants in Kabul. He has failed to do so through academia or brawn, but the one area where they connect is the annual kite fighting tournament. Amir is determined not just to win the competition but to run the last kite and bring it home triumphantly, to prove to his father that he has the makings of a man. His loyal friend Hassan is the best kite runner that Amir has ever seen, and he promises to help him - for Hassan always helps Amir out of trouble. But Hassan is a Shia Muslim and this is 1970s Afghanistan. Hassan is taunted and jeered at by Amirs school friends; he is merely a servant living in a shack at the back of Amirs house. So why does Amir feel such envy towards his friend? Then, what happens to Hassan on the afternoon of the tournament is to shatter all their lives, and define their futures.

The Kite Runner of Khaled Hosseinis deeply moving fiction debut is an illiterate Afghan boy with an uncanny instinct for predicting exactly where a downed kite will land. Growing up in the city of Kabul in the early 1970s, Hassan was narrator Amirs closest friend even though the loyal 11-year-old with "a face like a Chinese doll" was the son of Amirs fathers servant and a member of Afghanistans despised Hazara minority. But in 1975, on the day of Kabuls annual kite-fighting tournament, something unspeakable happened between the two boys.

Narrated by Amir, a 40-year-old novelist living in California, The Kite Runner tells the gripping story of a boyhood friendship destroyed by jealousy, fear, and the kind of ruthless evil that transcends mere politics. Running parallel to this personal narrative of loss and redemption is the story of modern Afghanistan and of Amirs equally guilt-ridden relationship with the war-torn city of his birth. The first Afghan novel to be written in English, The Kite Runner begins in the final days of King Zahir Shahs 40-year reign and traces the countrys fall from a secluded oasis to a tank-strewn battlefield controlled by the Russians and then the trigger-happy Taliban. When Amir returns to Kabul to rescue Hassans orphaned child, the personal and the political get tangled together in a plot that is as suspenseful as it is taut with feeling.

The son of an Afghan diplomat whose family received political asylum in the United States in 1980, Hosseini combines the unflinching realism of a war correspondent with the satisfying emotional pull of master storytellers such as Rohinton Mistry. Like the kite that is its central image, the story line of this mesmerizing first novel occasionally dips and seems almost to dive to the ground. But Hosseini ultimately keeps everything airborne until his heartrending conclusion in an American picnic park.

“Animals deserve our kindness， sympathy and understanding，” that is what Anna Sewell-the author of Black Beauty-wanted to convince her readers。 Thanks to Sewell， I now think about the animal-human relationship from both the human and the animal’s point of view。

The inspiration for Anna Sewell’s novel was drawn from her own relationship with horses。 Anna Sewell was born on March 20th， 1820 in Norfolk， England and was crippled while still very young。 Due to her disability， she relied on horse-drawn carriages and grew to love horses as a result。 She also became appalled by the careless and cruel treatment horses often received from humans and determined to write a book。。 In the second year of work on the book， she was told that she had only eighteen months to live， but she persevered in order “to induce kindness， sympathy and an understanding [of the ] treatment of horses。” Five years later， she was still working on Black Beauty， her only book。 Unfortunately， Sewell died a few months after publication and never learned of the book’s huge success。 Black Beauty formed an impassioned plea for animal rights at a time when such a notion had been dismissed as ridiculous。

The novel portrayed the real condition of working horses living in Britain during the Victorian Era。 In that time period， the wealthy thought that their horses were treated well because they never stepped into the stable。 In order to call people’s attention to horses’ hard life， Sewell tells the story through the first-person narrative voice of a horse。 This innovative personification of an animal made the book a real success。 Readers heard the stories straight from the horse’s mouth， literally， as an animal spoke of extremes of joy and suffering。 People were shocked by the truth exposed by the novel and changed their attitudes towards animals。

Sewell formed the novel with three kinds of characters: Black Beauty， Ginger and other farm animals。 Through their different experiences， I saw similarly painful lives led by the animals。 This method made the earnest appeal for animal rights become more and more persuasive。

As a domestic animal， Black Beauty was continuously sold from one family to another。 Over the years Beauty enjoyed good masters but also endured mean ones。 Sometimes， he was cared for and at other times tortured。 In the end， everything turns out all right in a story that is so tender and yet meaningful。 His story was so vivid that caught the readers’ heart。 The novel brought people laughter and tears and also enlightened them to understand animals at the same time。

Animals cannot speak so understanding is significant to them。 Once，for example， Beauty was drawing the carriage to a wooden bridge。 The bridge was flooded out in the river and John， the groom， was not aware that it was cracked。 But the quickly realized that something was wrong because of Beauty’s abnormal behavior。 Momentarily， a man shouted to them， “Stop! Stop!…The bridge is broken in the middle。 If you come across， you’ll fall in the river!” Beauty had saved John。 However， if John had not tried to understand what Beauty wanted to tell him， there would definitely have been an accident。 I learnt from the story that understanding animals is not only essential to them but is also beneficial to us ourselves。

Recently I have read a famous Chinese classical novel-The romance of the Three Kingdoms and I felt benefit a lot. Let me tell you about my feelings.

The romance of the Three Kingdoms is one of the four great Chinese master pieces. It was written by Luo Guanzhong, who was born in 1330. It describes nearly 200 characters and tells the story from the late Eastern Han dynasty to the unified of Jin dynasty.

The minute I started to read this book, I was deeply impressed by the sentence at the beginning of the novel: "The empire, long divided, must unite; long united, must divide." It is so philosophical. It reflected the main history of the Three Kingdoms, from the rebellion of the Yellow Turbans to the replacement of the division of the country into Three Kingdoms (Wei, Shu and Wu) by the Jin Dynasty. In these periods, it showed a lot of heroic deeds, and what the heroes did had made a brilliant history. In this novel, the hero I admire mostly is Guan Yu, the general of Shu.

"A man of enormous height, nine spans tall, with a two-foot-long beard flowing from his rich, ruddy cheeks. He had glistening lips, eyes sweeping sharply back like those of the crimson-faced phoenix, and brows like nestling silkworms. His stature was imposing, his bearing awesome." This is Guan Yus appearance. He was called as hero not only because of his handsome looking, but because of his precious characters.

He is the embodiment of loyalty, wisdom and bravery. Once, when Guan Yu was having a battle with Cao Cao (the Master of Wei), he lost connection with Liu Bei(the Master of Shu), and finally he had to surrender because Liu Beis family was with him. Cao Cao appreciated Guan Yus talents, he provided a fabulous palace and lots of money to Guan Yu. Despite Guan Yu was taken good care of in the Cao Cao’s camp, but his heart was still with the Liu Bei’s camp. He had never given up looking for his master. As soon as he got the news of Liu Bei, Guan Yu had forced five passes and slew six captains, finally he found his master. His behavior showed not only his loyalty to his master but also his bravery.

Admittedly, Guan Yus death is also a lamentable. Because of his complacency, he looked down on the army of Wu, lost Jingzhou (an important City), finally, he flopped, and was killed by his personal enemy.

With his personal likes and dislikes, regardless of the consequences, it led to the disruption of the alliance between Wu and Shu, the whole situation was changed greatly.

Guan Yu’s lesson tells us: No matter how talented you are, you’d better remain modest and be humble.

This is a great novel that depicts the countless legendary stories. We can learn not only the characters of the heroes, but also the political and military strategies. It is a best way to experience the profound Chinese ancient culture. Tiancheng(Daniel)Dai

【参考译文】

最近我读了一本著名的中国古典小说>，我觉得受益匪浅。让我告诉你我的感受。

三国演义是中国四大名著之一。这是罗贯中写的，他出生于1330。它描述了近200个字，讲述了从东汉晚期到金朝统一的故事。

从我开始读这本书的那一刻起，我就对小说开头的一句话印象深刻：“帝国，长期分裂，必须团结;长期团结，必须分裂。”。它反映了三个王国的主要历史，从黄巾起义到国家部门更换成三个王国(魏、舒、吴)由晋。在这些时期，它表现了许多英雄事迹，英雄们做了辉煌的历史。在这部小说中，我最敬佩的英雄是舒将军关羽。

一个身材高大，身高九米，长着一二英尺长胡须的男人从他那红润红润的脸颊上流出。他有着闪亮的嘴唇，眼睛像深红色的凤凰一样深深地向后扫着，眉毛像刚开花的蚕。他的身材很高，他的举止令人敬畏.“这是关羽的样子。他之所以被称为英雄不仅是因为他英俊的外表，而是因为他珍贵的品格。

他是忠诚、智慧和勇敢的化身。有一次，当关羽和曹操(魏的主人)发生战斗时，他失去了与刘备(舒的主人)的联系，最后他不得不投降，因为刘备的家人和他在一起。曹操欣赏关羽的才华，他为关羽提供了一座华丽的宫殿和很多钱。尽管关羽在曹操的营地里得到了很好的照顾，但他的心仍然在刘备的营地里。他从未放弃寻找他的主人。关羽一听到刘备的消息，就强行传了五关，打死了六个上尉，最后他找到了他的主人。他的行为不仅表现出他对主人的忠诚，而且表现了他的勇敢。

诚然，关羽的死也是悲惨的。因为他的自满，他看不起吴的军队，失去了荆州(一个重要的城市)，最后，他失败了，并被他的仇人杀死。

他不顾个人好恶，不顾后果，导致吴与舒的同盟破裂，整个局面发生了重大变化。

关羽的教训告诉我们：无论你多么有天赋，你最好保持谦虚和谦虚。

这是一部描写无数传奇故事的伟大小说。我们不仅可以学习英雄人物，而且可以学习政治和军事战略。是体验博大精深的中国古代文化的最佳途径。田成(丹尼尔)

For her, I am to have to admire of, admire her strong, admire her to the persist of land, admire her ability under the education that that in environment under let go of before be subjected to the farmland stem live, admiring the speech that she can neglect the society but founding own business.Her life contain a few souls, an is her mother.His mother is a madam with expensive very able and gentle and soft typical model, is the person who she respect and admire most .But, mother typhoid for saving the person but ising infect, die.Another, is her more than ten in the last years favourite of person- a rare gift.Her ability stands up in the adverse circumstances, have very greatly a part of reason is a rare gift of a .She the rare to a gift persists unusually.Still have a, is the meilanli .More than ten years that struggle together in, the meilanli has already become her life in the indispensability of a part.

I feel that the beauty of si is like a child, persisting to the thing that oneself want unusually, but to the thing that oneself own but disdain to on attend to.An at try very hard to make the oneself happy, a push the happiness to leave constantly again, push the lover toward abyss.

The beauty of si is loving is a rare gift of a , but,a rare gift but dont want her.Be like the rui to especially say of, the rare gift of a is a gentleman, just wasing born in an and he inharmonious ages.He still uses the rules of the game of the old world life, will bump only rejection.The beauty of si doeses not understand the a to hope the gift, so she loves him, think that exhausted whole wayses get him, but when she recognize pure he, she did not love him any further.

The beauty of si is a contradictory body, can have again who not is a contradictory body?She is in the life of road up all the way walk, be when she face the difficulty, she chooses the accolade, be when she face the responsibility, she chooses to carry, can be she face loving choice is, at first, he choose to hoodwink the oneself, being her to recognize finally pure, to face, but is already the hour already late.But she, at incapable is a dint, will tell the oneself, tomorrow is new day, everythings will like tomorrow, the Tomorrow is another day.She is all an in the whole story full of fire, be filled with the person of the will to fight.I enjoy most of, would be her this" Tomorrow is another day.".Was filled with the hope forever, be filled with the will to fight, can never give up, can never despair.This spirit, the most worthy of I study.So, whenever I meet the difficulty, mood not good, I will tell the oneself then:" Tomorrow is another day.".The another in book make the female that me admire very, would be the meilanli .She is an outside soft inside just of female, she almost owned the whole virtue that female can own.Positive if the rui especially says of, she is a that a handful of expensive madam that he saw win.She is strong, she is patriotic, she uses her heart love nearby all people.When her husband fight, she silent in the rear guard the hon, do the business of her what lies in ones power, be the north guy to beat in the city and she again soon about to deliver child, she still the town settle, being the next stem of the her body infirmity and nobodies to live soon didnt When the rice eat, she similar to beauty of si , let go of past education for be subjected to and sense of superiorities, trail weak of body next stem live, be she see the beauty of si kill a north guy, she did not be rattled, but help to bury the corpse, searching the money, wiping the blood stain, being the war finally end, north guy soldier whom she hate bitterly before arriving at her door request to look after and themselves also have no excessive food, she still fulfil her ability the ground helped them, because she hopes to also have the north guy woman of a good heart afar to her just at homing a rice of husband eat.

Is really too great, looking at themeilanli, make me thought of much more Chinese ancient times females of, they are also such dociles, work hard in spite of criticism, assist husband and bring up children, then silent unknownly old go to and depart from this life.

In the whole book, I is a rui for the person that like most especially.He is brave and persists, he can love the beauty of si so and deeply for more than ten years constant.He wants to protect the beauty of si , the doter si beauty, look after the beauty of si, let her everything feel happy, but the beauty of si refused.He says, again the time that eternal love also will dub out, but his love, drive beauty of si, drive rare gift of a , was dub out by the adherence that the si beauty is stupid of.His heart, die.When his daughter leaves him, his heart, return any further not to come.He says, he has always been to have no that patience shear the ground pants and sew and like, then tells the oneself this is similar to lately, just deceive yourself as well as others.Ground is ground, return and dont go to any further, even make allies, the top still stays the crack, is not originally any further that.

This winter vacation, I read one of the world famous book called one thousand one night. It is also called Arabian Nights，This is an ancient book, there are many old stories about people in Arabia.

Once upon a time, there was a king, he married a woman every day, but the next morning the king killed his wife. After three years, he has killed more than one thousand women. Once, the prime minister’s daughter thought of a way to prevent the king’s cruel killing. Then, the girl asked the king to marry her. Every night, she told a wonderful story to the king, and when the king want to kill her, her story was getting into the most exciting part, so the king has to give up. Night after night, the girl told about one thousand one nights, and finally, it affected the king to change his mind about her. This is the origin of one thousand one night.

In this book, there are a lot of very strange story, the story of the fisherman and the devil , fisherman and four-color fish story, the story of Aladdin and the Magic Lamp and so on, some stories tell about the brave spirit of adventure, and some praise people’s brave daring to fight with the evil forces. there are humorous, sad, interesting, horrible, tragic and all sorts of stories.

I think that if a person has an unselfish love, then it is a person who has all the noble qualities. In "" Love of education "" This touching book, everywhere that has a high-quality people.

"" Love of education "" This book is the hero - a fourth-grade boy An Like a vision, in diary forms, ranging from four-year in October the first day of school, has been written in July next year. Record An Like moving around various stories, the parents wrote in his diary of the dissuasive enlightening article, as well as nine teachers in the classroom, read the exciting story of the month. Each article is touching.

"" Love of education "" one chapter is written in a child chimney sweeping chimney sweeping earned 30 coins lost, and not return home, so the students are passing with their own money to help him, did not take students put their own money, presented flowers to him. I think this section was the most moving, because we usually encounter difficulties in their own always wanted to get help, and we usually have difficulties encountered in man-hours should also do our best to help him, not being the person you help will be someone else, love to pass it down this way. I believe that children chimney sweeping re-later someone else will.

After reading the article, I thought of the Sichuan earthquake in May this year, the Shenzhen peoples active contributions to the disaster, donations, let me once again feel the Shenzhen this "city of love" love.

There are many kinds of love, between family members, lovers, friends or love of mercy for the weak ， and jean valjeans love is to give all the poor people in the world, poor people, sympathy, and those who are worthy of respect. Is the book down, leaving me deeply shocked and moved.

爱有很多种，亲人间的，情人间的，朋友间的或是对弱者的怜悯之爱。而冉阿让的爱却是给世上所有可怜的人、贫穷的人、值得同情的人、值得尊敬的人的。正本书下来，留给我的是深深的震撼和感动。

In addition, he also often give bread to starving people, give the clothes to cold; People everywhere. For the poor, he is like an umbrella, an embodiment of justice.

因为一个小小的罪行，被关了14年，为了生存，他逃了“罪人”这个桎梏。成为了一个拥有无数财产的市长，一个把绝大多数的钱都捐给了慈善机构和穷人们，以至于他往往出门时口袋里装满了钱，回来时又都空了。除此之外他还经常把面包送给挨饿的人，把衣服送给挨冻的人;到处访贫问苦。对于穷人而言，他就像一顶保护伞，一个正义的化身。

One of the most representative is he fang town with cosette, mother and daughter of love. In order to achieve the fang town dying to meet their own daughters wishes, he would escape again (this time escape from prison, for he is a lifelong convict price)。 Although fang town ultimately failed to achieve their wishes died, but he was always adhere to the time to complete his irrelevant to fang town - a dead promise… With the course of his life when carefully take care of her as his daughter.

In order to make some strangers dont hurt, he should stand and walk again and again risks, even willing to pay a life of their own. You know this is how great courage and strength to pay! All this shows a noble soul!

其中最具代表性的就是他对芳町与珂赛特母女的关爱。为了实现芳町临死前能见一面自己亲生女儿的愿望，他不惜再一次越狱(而这一次越狱，对他来说则是终身苦役犯的代价)。虽然最后芳町还是没能实现自己的愿望就死去了，可他却始终坚持不渝地完成他对芳町——一个毫不相干的死人的诺言……并用毕生的精力把她当作自己女儿一样细心地照顾时。我被深深地震撼了。与当时黑暗、丑恶的社会现象相对应的，竟是一颗如此善良、无私的心;以及那么高尚的道德品质。为了使一些陌生人不受到伤害，他竟然一次次地挺而走险，甚至甘愿付出自己的生命。要知道这是要付出多么巨大的勇气和力量啊!这一切都向我们展示了一个灵魂的高尚!

No amount of money, high position, more power, jean valjean in the in the mind is far less than justice!

再多的金钱，再高贵的地位，再大的权力，在冉阿让心里都远不及正义!

After read the complete book, think that the class society is cruel to the poor is rude; Lamenting the social reality of France at that time; Think that people desire cunning evil thoughts; Lamenting over those mundane and ordinary people, in order to against social injustice, and made great contribution, the people full of hope and love.

读完整本书后，感叹过当时阶级社会对穷人的残暴粗鲁;感叹过当时法国触目惊心的社会现实;感叹过人们贪恋狡诈的邪念;更感叹过那些平凡而又普通的人民，为了反抗社会的不公而做出的巨大贡献，那些心中充满希望和爱的人。

"Only love can destroy everything in the world, unfortunately," this is the author wants to tell us, although we love jean valjean did not great, but in real life, ordinary love is everywhere. Do you remember when you are frustrated that the warm embrace; When you are thrilled that enthusiastic high-five; When you embarrass anger that understand the vision; When complacency that severe frown… Do you remember the warm language, friendly smile, soft eyes and then gently pat caresses…

“只有爱，才能消灭世界上的一切不幸” 这是作者想告诉我们的，虽然我们的爱没有冉阿让那样伟大，但在现实生活中，平凡的爱也是随处可见的。还记得当你沮丧不已时那温暖的怀抱;当你激动万分时那热情的击掌;当你愤怒难堪时那理解的目光;当你骄傲自满时那严厉的皱眉…… 还记得那温暖的语言，友善的微笑，温柔的目光和那轻柔的拍抚……

The most powerful counterattack is the love of dark! Let love pass, diffusion, with action to change around, the world will likely to slowly become what you want!

对黑暗的最有力反击是爱!让爱传递，扩散，用行动去改变身边的，世界才会有可能慢慢变成你所希望的!
