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。

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。 《老人与海》塑造了一个经典的硬汉形象。古巴的一个名叫桑提亚哥的老渔夫,独自一个人出海打鱼,在一无所获的84天之后钓到了一条无比巨大的马林鱼。

这是老人从来没见过也没听说过的比他的船还长两英尺的一条大鱼。鱼大劲也大,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艰难考验,终于把大鱼刺死,拴在船头。然而这时却遇上了鲨鱼,老人与鲨鱼进行了殊死搏斗,结果大马林鱼还是被鲨鱼吃光了,老人最后拖回家的只剩下一副光秃秃的鱼骨架。

海明威为什么没有让老人最终胜利呢? 用小说中老人的话来说:“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。”这就是《老人与海》想揭示的哲理。无可否认,只要是人就都会有缺陷。当一个人承认了这个缺陷并努力去战胜它而不是去屈从它的时候,无论他能否最终战胜自身的这个缺陷,他都是一个胜利者,因为他已经战胜了自己对缺陷的妥协,他是自己勇气和信心的胜利者。老渔夫就是敢于挑战自身缺陷及自己勇气和信心的胜利者。从世俗胜利观的角度看,老渔夫不是最后的胜利者,因为尽管开始他战胜了大马林鱼,但是最终大马林鱼还是让鲨鱼吃了,他只是带着大马林鱼的白骨架子回到了岸上,也就是说,鲨鱼才是胜利者。可是,在理想主义者眼里,老渔夫就是胜利者,因为他始终没有向大海没有向大马林鱼更没有向鲨鱼妥协和投降。就如音乐大师贝多芬所说“我可以被摧毁,但我不能被征服”。

人性是强悍的,人类本身有自己的限度,但正是因为有了老渔夫这样的人一次又一次地向限度挑战,超越它们,这个限度才一次次扩大,一次次把更大的挑战摆在了人类面前。

在这个意义上,老渔夫桑地亚哥这样的英雄,不管他们挑战限度是成功还是失败,都是值得我们永远敬重的。因为,他带给我们的是人类最为高贵的自信!

——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.

篇4:《傲慢与偏见》英文读后感

全文共 2087 字

+ 加入清单

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.

阅读一本好书,就如同再做一次身心的光合作用,在浩浩荡荡的书海中,最吸引人的也是最令人喜爱的,便是海明威所著的《老人与海》了。

这本书写的是一个老人在经历了漫长的风雨之后,终于捕到了一条大鱼的故事。但是他最后却因为意外,失掉了那条大鱼,他非但没有感到沮丧,反而更增强了生活的信心和信念!从此,更坚定了自己的意志和步伐,用坚毅来面对生活中的风雨,用坚强来应对生命中的挑战。他的故事也给人们许多的启迪。

其实,我们在生活中缺乏的正是这种坚强的品格。有些人一遇到什么事就会退缩,其实这种事不对的做法,他们应该挺起胸脯,用坚强的意志和果敢的品质来面对这些困难和挫折,从而获得成功。文中介绍的那个小男孩也是一个非常孝顺的孩子。他虽然和这个老人素不相识,但是他却在每时每刻都帮助这个老人。其实这正是我们生活中缺乏的一种品质——关爱。

关爱,在我们生活中可谓是处处存在。但是我们现在的社会有些关爱,甚至成了利益的驱使!回想起《老人与海》老人与孩子那种淳朴的关爱之情,便使人想到了现在当今社会上那些老年人品质低下,非要和年轻人钱的种种不良事迹!所以我们更应该学会关爱协会,关心他人,这样才能在生活中更好地施展自己!

书中还有非常迷人的景色描写,以及趣味横生的对话描写,这些均表现了老人坚强的品格和顽强不屈的意志,其实这些运用到我的写作中必定能使文章增色不少!

阅读《老人与海》,更是一次心灵的享受,是一次独特的阅读体验!

Shakspere (wrong spelling) created Hamlet--a man with wisdom and courage .In order to revenge on his uncle for killing his father, he pretented (spelling mistake) to be mad and suffered a series of misery. On the contrary, we can also say that Hamlet is rude and selfish for he did not think twice before his revenge . if (Capitalize "If" since it is the beginning word of the sentence.) a country has no king, how can a country keep alive (You need a question mark here since it is a question.) So, every thing has two sides, the bright side and adumbral side. Every time we make a decision we have to think twice.

Be careful with your spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Too many uncessary mistakes.It is good that you looked at both the dark and bright sides of Hamlet. Thats quite objective and convincing.

在今年这个假期里,我读了一本好书——《老人与海》,这是美国著名作家海明威著作的,是他最具代表性的作品之一。

海明威全名欧内斯特·米勒尔·海明威,是20世纪最著名的小说家之一。作品中对人生、世界、社会都表现出了迷茫和彷徨。

《老人与海》也是一样的,他讲述了:一位以捕鱼为生的贫困的老人和小男孩,一连几个月都没有钓到一条鱼,小男孩只能从饭店借饭充饥。到第八十七天时,终于钓到了一条鱼,两人很高兴。但之后连续八十四天没钓到鱼,第八十五天时,老人终于钓到了一条鱼,但是鱼很大,老人与它打斗了三天,鱼终于被收服了。在回去的途中遭到了鲨鱼的袭击,老人又与鲨鱼展开了漫长激烈的争斗,最后大鱼只剩下了鱼头鱼尾和一条脊骨,老人只好带着剩余的残渣回去。

老人虽然没获得丰盛的收获,但是他的精神值得我们时时刻刻去学习,他的勇气值得我们每时每刻都敬佩。

老人并不是什么也没得到,其实他有一颗勇敢的心,获得了最后的胜利。

他并没有真正的消失,而是活在了每一个人的心中;他并没有真正的老,而是像书中的老人一样,永不衰老。

老人在遇到困难时不退缩、不胆怯、勇于拼搏,不向困难低头的精神,值得我们所有的人学习。

人生的道路也是坎坎坷坷,我们的学习生涯也会经常遇到一些困难和挫折,我们要学习老人那种面对困难敢于拼搏的精神,去面对现实生活和学习中遇到的种种困难。

让我们永远记住他吧!一位勇敢伟大的老人!

每逢冬季,昆明的翠湖都会迎来大批迁徙的海鸥,这时候,老人也像赶赴约会似的,来到湖畔来呵护这些美丽的海鸟。十余年来,老人与海鸥和谐相处,结下了深厚的情谊。

这篇文章主要讲了老人生前喂食海鸥,呼唤海鸥的名字,与海鸥亲切地说话等事例;以及老人死后,海鸥在老人遗像前翻飞盘旋,肃立大声鸣叫的悲壮画面,表现了老人对海鸥的那份无私的爱,展示了海鸥对老人的那份令人震撼的情。

其中我印象最深的是这一句:“过了一会儿,海鸥们纷纷落地,竟在老人遗像前后站成了两行。它们肃立不动,像是为老人守灵的白翼天使。”“纷纷”说明这么多海鸥动作一致,似乎有谁在无声指挥。“站成了两行”“肃立不动”“白翼天使”写出了海鸥对老人的爱戴,尊敬,对老人的一片深情。这样的场面,我相信无论谁都会为之动容的!

多么善良的老人,多么纯洁的海鸥,彼此用真情共同谱写了一曲爱的赞歌,那份相知与相守、牵挂与依赖,让我们猛然醒悟,人与自然的和谐共处,原来是如此的美好!如此的动人!他无时无刻不再提醒大家,与大自然做朋友,珍爱生命,热爱生活!

Books as the name implies, pride and prejudice, and in the book is male leading the obstacle of the love, but in the real society is also a communication barriers between people, but also in the right attitude towards themselves, treat things in a stumbling block. In real life, we will also often because of his unilateral idea but myself with others, so we have to overcome the "pride and prejudice", take the initiative to understand others.

The book reaction of social reality is so hit the nail on the head, she is about marriage, has nothing to do with love.

伊丽莎白聪敏机智,有胆识,有远见,有很强的自尊心,并善于思考问题。正是由于这种品质,才使她在情感问题上有独立的主见,并促使她与达西组成美满的家庭。

书如其名,傲慢偏见,在书中是男女主角爱情上的障碍,但在现实社会中也是人们相互之间交流的障碍,更是在正确对待自己,对待事物上的绊脚石。在现实生活中,我们也会经常因为自己单方面的想法而是自己与他人隔开,所以我们要克服“傲慢与偏见”,主动了解他人。每一个人其实都很容易被自己的主观印象所驱使,因而容易对别的人下不正确的注解,进而造成了彼此之间的误会。一个人所给予的第一印象固然可以影响到很多事,但并非一定不会改变,要有更加深入的了解,才能有更客观一点的论点,就好像故事中女主角对达西的看法,就是因为了解才有所改变。此书反应的社会现实确是如此一针见血,她讲的是婚姻,与爱情无关。

As the only living things on a bare planet called “Just Like Home”, humans felt lonely and sad. In order to live, they must get married as often as possible and have children. Unwilling to get married, our 16-year-old protagonist named Humming Bird ran away from her planet and found a plastic space ship. There she met various kinds of animals, which frightened her even drove her crazy. She had never seen such things before. Only through ‘The Book Of Remembering’ did she get some rough idea of animals. After she took a small-copied cat home and showed it to the officials on her planet, the cat was shot to death and all the officials went crazy. Humming Brid didn’t give up her attempt to let people accept the animals. She decided to set about the job from children…

That’s the brief plot of Harry Gilbert’s science fiction—。 Based on the reality of increasing environmental problems, the writer uses his full imagination and creativity to produce this vivid imaginative and thought-provoking story.

As far as we know, animal numbers are now diminishing all over the world every years, and the living conditions we depend on a getting worse. We dirty the air with gases and smoke, poison the water with chemicals and other substances and damage the soil with too many fertilizers and pesticides. We also pollute our surroundings in many other ways. Air, water and soil are all very important and necessary to the survival of all living things all over the world. If we human don’t pay more attention to that, there will come a day when we have to live the kind of life described in this novel. As we know, the world is made up not only of human beings but also a lot of other living things. If we don’t want to leave this perfect planet, we have to protect the environment; otherwise, without the company of other living things, people would only be half-alive, men only half-men.

Nowadays, I should say, people have realized the importance of environmental protection and ecological balance. Slogans that remind us to save water and electricity are stuck everywhere, but how many are treated as requirements or duties and not just a piece of paper. If we pay a little attention to our working and study places, we always find some taps half opened with running water, and large numbers of people get used to leave lights on during the day. Dustbins for both recycled and unredeemable rubbish are placed in high density but no one bothers to throw the rubbish into the right dustbins. Nor do they even know what kind of rubbish could be recycled and what kind could not.

Conservation centers for protecting animals are built in many countries. Our government also passed some acts to protect animals; however, there do exist some law-breakers who are driven by money. We plant trees very year, but no one bothers to water and care for them after planting them. For money, some farmers drive their sheep and cattle to grasslands and charge it into desert.

All in all, to every one, I want to say, “Living on this wonderful planet earth, we are lucky and happy. In order to enjoy this kind of wonderful life, we must care for mother earth and put this kind of care into practice.”

Facing the world, to be or not to be, it’s up to you. We must make a choice without any hesitation!

篇14:《格列佛游记》英文读后感

全文共 3924 字

+ 加入清单

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" .

《老人与海》塑造了一个经典的硬汉形象。古巴的一个名叫桑地亚哥的老渔夫,独自一个人出海打鱼,在一无所获的48天之后钓到了一条无比巨大的马林鱼。这是老人从来没见过也没听说过的比他的船还长两英尺的一条大鱼。鱼大劲也大,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艰难考验,终于把大鱼刺死,拴在船头。然而这时却遇上了鲨鱼,老人与鲨鱼进行了殊死搏斗,结果大马林鱼还是被鲨鱼吃光了,老人最后拖回家的只剩下一副光秃秃的鱼骨架。

篇17:《老人与海》读后感高一500字

全文共 1016 字

+ 加入清单

“人不是为失败而生的,一个人可以被毁灭,但不能被打败。”《老人与海》文中曾这样说到。人可能失败,但重要的是如何面对失败。失败后,要重新站起来,继续拼搏,为胜利而战。即使最终无法成功,但仍应该做一个毫不畏惧失败的英雄,至少我们可以说:“我们来到过,我们看到过,我们尝试过。”

《老人与海》这个故事讲的是一个捕鱼老人在八十四天之中没有捕到任何鱼,决定独自到远海去捕鱼。一条大马林鱼上钩了,可老人在短时间内无法征服它。但老人下了决心,奋力与大鱼斗争,直到它被绑在船边。在血腥味的吸引下,鲨鱼们一次又一次地向大马林鱼的尸体发起攻击,以至于老人的“战利品”最终只剩下一架骨骼。老人又重返家园,再一次梦见了狮子。

拼搏,老人朝着希望努力拼搏。

在宽广的海面上,痛苦一次又一次的来临,困难一次又一次的成为绊脚石。可老人退缩了吗?没有。他想过放弃吗?也许有,但在勇气与坚强信念的支持下,他还是坚持了下来。在困难面前,老人并没有屈服。老人是一个英雄,是一个战无不胜的巨人!

毅力,老人有着坚强的毅力。

他忍着剧痛,却依然在与大马林鱼作斗争,依然在完成自己的使命。毅力就是成功的保障,成功的路上不可能一帆风顺,也许困难重重,也许艰难险阻。但也不能阻挡一个有毅力的人的脚步。“困难像弹簧,你弱它就强,你强它就弱”有了毅力,就有了勇气;有了勇气,就有了克服困难的决心;有了决心,再大的困难也不成问题!

老人在神志不清时,毅力使他坚持了下来。与大马林鱼进行生死搏斗,与鲨鱼拼命抢夺,若没有坚强的毅力和坚定的决心怎能做得到呢?在拨开重重困难迷雾之时就会见到新的光辉,“不经历风雨,怎么见彩虹。”在经历磨难之后,才会变得更加坚毅,更加勇敢,才会看到新的希望。回首望去,才发现自己走过的路是多么坎坷,自己所做的事是多么不容易。并且会为自己感到骄傲,毫不后悔。看到自己留下的脚印,内心又是多么惊喜。老人看到大马林鱼的骨骼时也会有同感吧!

坚持,老人始终坚持,从未放弃。

“我奉陪你到死”这是老人对大马林鱼说的话。他下了决心,也会为这个决心负责。痛苦一次又一次来袭,老人感到自己快要不行了,可他仍然坚持,履行自己的诺言,甚至把自己的生死置之度外。老人可能在心中提醒自己:坚持,坚持就是胜利。当老人用尽最后一丝力量把大鱼束缚时,他长长出了一口气,是立刻感到身心疲惫呢?还是精神焕发,丢掉了所有痛苦,高兴得几乎跳跃呢?老人的感觉可能介于两者之间,因为他是一个有理想、有目标又有涵养的老人。

读完课文《老人与海鸥》,我不禁为课文中老人与海鸥之间那真挚的情感默默叫好,又为生活中人与动物之间的冷漠而哀叹。

《老人与海鸥》这篇课文写:在翠湖畔,一位老人几十年如一日的喂养海鸥,他把海鸥当成了自己的子女,海鸥也把他看作了亲人。最后,老人去世了。海鸥们围着老人的遗像,为他举行了一场独特的送行仪式。这篇课文既表现出了老人对海鸥无私的爱,又展示了海鸥对老人那令人震撼的情。展示出了老人与海鸥之间浓厚的情感,展示了动物丰富的情感世界。

感受到老人与海鸥之间那真挚的情谊后,使我想到了我们的周围——人与动物之间的冷漠。

动物也有自己的思想,自己的情感,所以我们要尊重动物,和它们相亲相爱,和谐共处。

在生活中,我经常遇到:大家捉住小鸟,把它的腿绑起来拉着玩儿,有意踩死蚂蚁等不良现象。

这就是对小鸟的不尊重,你想:把小鸟的腿绑住了,就等于约束了它的自由,任何有思想的人或动物,如果没有了自由,就等于生活没有了希望。

我们要保护所有的动物,要与动物建立一份真挚的情感,真挚的友谊。

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.
