正月初一那天,天气晴朗,万里无云,我和爸爸,妈妈,小表叔一起去公园划船。到了公园,人真多呀!连划船都要排成长长的队伍,爸爸去买了船票,我们在那里排队等了一个多小时,好不容易才等到了一个空船,我们赶快上了船。
我和小表叔坐在船的最前面,爸爸妈妈坐在后面。我和小表叔轮着掌握方向盘,爸爸妈妈在后面蹬着划船。我们在水里转来转去,玩的高兴极了。正在高兴时,忽然看见我们的船正直直往正前方的一条手划船上撞去,把划船的叔叔阿姨吓的赶紧转弯,把我们俩笑的肚子疼。妈妈说我没掌握好方向便让小表叔掌握方向,我想抵赖,于是就说:“还没到时间呢!”小表叔好象知道我在骗他,就说:“哥,时间是不是到了。”我爸爸说:“时间到了,浩悦让你小表叔来掌握方向。”我极不情愿的让给了他。也不知道今天是怎么了,总有船和我们相撞,刚才我们撞人家的船,现在又有人家的船来撞我们,我们的船劲大,把它撞的转了个弯,又把我和小表叔乐得哈哈大笑。又有一条汽船朝我们驶过来了,爸爸叫我们赶快转弯,我们立刻就转弯躲了过去。
我们看到岸上有人在跳舞便把船划了过去看,看的正美时,岸上有人说我们的船时间到了,叫我们停船靠岸,我们很快把船划了过去,上了岸便回家了。
那天我和小表叔玩的太开心啦!既划了船又知道怎样掌握船的方向,这事就是我寒假里最有趣的一件事。

篇2:爱粮节粮作文高一600字
全文共 496 字
+ 加入清单“我们从小就应该节约粮食,吃饭不漏一粒米。”这是大人常说的一句话。
记得小时候,爷爷奶奶常对我说:“你看你碗里还剩这么多饭,以后脸上要长好多麻子的,要节约粮食噢。”那时候我还小,听了爷爷奶奶的恐吓就被吓着了,哪还顾得上解释,连忙把碗里的饭吃得干干净净,这时爷爷奶奶就会用满意的眼神看着我。后来,每次吃饭我都把饭吃干净,这算是因为害怕而节约粮食了。
渐渐的,我有了自己的想法,爷爷奶奶吓唬人的那一套逐渐不灵了。于是爸爸妈妈便开始给我讲一些大道理,什么农民伯伯种田很辛苦,什么“锄禾日当午,汗滴禾下土”,什么我们要尊重别人的劳动成果……我想了想,觉得有道理,便听从了爸爸妈妈的苦口婆心。
可是到了今天,无论大人们用什么办法,都说服不了我。多亏了那节语文课,才彻彻底底地改变了我浪费粮食的坏习惯。
语文课上,丁老师正在讲“节约粮食”,忽然说起了《西游记》里的唐僧,“只因前世浪费一粒米,活该今生会生三天病。”说完,全班同学都不寒而栗,因为我们知道自己浪费过多少粮食,那该生多少天病啊!老师说:“不知者无罪,现在你们知道了,可就不能再浪费粮食了。”
自从那节课后,我们再也不敢浪费粮食了。爱粮节粮,从我做起吧!
篇3:简爱读后感作文600字
全文共 700 字
+ 加入清单这本书我读过多次,每次都有不同的感受。而不变的,是贯穿全文的简爱那无所畏惧的反抗。
简爱在劳沃德学校对海伦说过这样一段话:“当我们无缘无故挨打的时候,我们应该狠狠的回击;我肯定我们应该回击—狠狠的回击,教训教训打我们的那个人,叫他不敢再这样打人!”
狠狠的回击!这便是简爱具有的反抗精神。
小说一开始,年幼的简爱就和欺侮她的表哥约翰发生了冲突。简爱不畏强暴,怒斥约翰:“你这男孩真是又恶毒又残酷!你这个杀人犯—你像个虐待奴隶的人—你像罗马的皇帝!”一个瘦弱的女孩以她的勇敢的表现立即吸引了读者。作者用四个章节交代简童年生活的情节,让我们初步看到了简性格中反抗的特点。
简爱在劳沃德学校的一段确定是全书中揭露性很强的一部分。其中海伦·彭斯的隐忍与简爱的反抗形成了强烈的对比——“与其冒冒失失采取一个行为,让不良后果影响所有和你有关的人,那还不如耐住性子,忍受一个除你而外没有别人感到的痛苦来得好;再说,《圣经》上也叫我们以德报怨。”“既然躲避不了,那就不能不忍受;遇到命运注定要你忍受的事,你光说受不了,是软弱和愚蠢的。”
而就是如此乖顺的女孩,在最后竟成了劳沃德学校的牺牲品。
简爱正式登上社会这个舞台是到了桑菲尔德以后。
当她初次和罗切斯特见面,她就显示了不卑不亢的风度。在对罗切斯特还不了解的时候,她保持了一贯的反抗精神。但是他们渐渐发现对方与自己在思想上许多方面有共鸣之处,渐渐对对方有了好感。
简爱重视的是平等的地位,这正符合她的反抗的性格。在摘抄段中,简爱显示出了她在维护自己的尊严,这段话也是她的宣言。每当我读到这里,总能感到一种勇气与力量穿透了全身。
简爱那流淌着反抗的血液,总能带给人们追求自由的力量。

篇6:简爱读后感1000字
全文共 1203 字
+ 加入清单《简·爱》是我读过的第一部外文小说,也是对我影响最深的书籍之一。我很喜欢小说中的女主角——简爱,她是一个对自己的思想和人格有着理性认识的女性,一个对自己的价值和情感做出了独立判断的女性,一个对自己的幸福和情感有着坚定追求的女性。在我的眼中,简爱就是坠落凡间长着洁白翅膀的天使。
简爱之所以能深深地打动了一代又一代读者的心,不是因为她最终的爱情救赎,而是因为她有一颗从来都不被人性丑恶侵蚀而异化的心……世情百态,尝遍苦痛;尘世纷扰,我性依然。此种信念和力量,唯简独有。
简爱的童年是苦涩的,从小无父无母,被迫寄养在舅母家。少爷的专横,小姐的傲慢,夫人的恶意,仆人的偏见,都在折磨着她。然而这些还不够,随着舅父的去世,舅母把她送进了罗沃德孤儿院,一所从肉体到精神对孩子们进行宗教束缚摧残的所谓慈善机构。在那里,冷酷的院长将她无情地隔离,对她进行着精神和肉体上的双重摧残。
在这黑暗的日子里,海伦是她唯一的阳光,简爱第一次感受到了爱的沐浴。不幸的是,海伦在院长的虐待中患上肺结核,最终死去了。简爱趴在海伦的墓上,向生命中的每一束阳光告别,从此她变得坚强、勇敢。
这是一种涅槃。简爱在罗沃德度过了人生中最黑暗的十年,但是这也造就了她的坚强与刚毅。上帝总是公平的,桑菲尔德庄园的女管家聘用了她,在这里她迎来了一生中最幸福的时光,她的生活里有了音乐,有了阳光,有了温暖……
夕阳西下,霜雾弥漫。简独自散步,罗切斯特骑马而来,缘定一见钟情。然而当心目中的王子为了试探她而假意要娶某贵族小姐时,她愤怒地说:“你以为,因为我穷,低贱,不美,矮小,我就没有灵魂没有心吗?你想错了!我的灵魂跟你一样,我的心也跟你的完全一样!就如我们站在上帝跟前是平等的,因为我们是平等的!”简爱是勇敢的,因为她坚信人在精神上都是平等的,她追求的是两颗心的平等结合。当幸福即将要来临的时候,罗切斯特的疯妻出现了,简爱并没有委屈求全,她离开了罗切斯特,去寻找新的生活出路。
时空像蛛丝一样交纵前行,因果轮回,面对曾虐待过自己的舅妈,简爱以德报怨,照顾她直至生命的尽头。当她得知罗切斯特为了拯救在火中的妻子不幸双目失明,躯体严重残疾,完全丧失了生活能力时,她又毫不犹豫地赶回桑菲尔德,留在他身边,照顾他,爱他。上帝用时光绘出了一幅幅浮世绘。多少人狠毒之极,多少人见利忘义,多少人以怨报德?
愈是物质空前凸显的时代,愈是要仰望道德的星空!简爱就像一个充满智慧、充满爱心并努力使自己生命得到最大绽放的精灵。她的生命,有如彗星闪亮而美丽,她的信念,有如磐石坚韧而不移,她的所想所为所展现出来的力量,是生命的极善极美极爱。她用自己瘦弱的肩膀扛起大千世界的万般丑恶和罪孽,却用心里那盏永不息灭的烛光消融了人世冷漠的冰霜。
就让我们顺着这条爱的索道不断攀越,或许也会途径暗夜苦雨,也有雾霾寒冬,也有风沙遍野,但是请相信,千山万水一路走过,眼前的世界,一定是风光旎丽,春暖花开……
篇7:简爱优秀读后感800字
全文共 829 字
+ 加入清单坚定不移的心,清澈的眼神,主人公简爱的那种不去,无论对生活还是命运,从来都是不屈的。这种力量,这种精神是我一直想要拥有的,我觉得跟我还是蛮像的,相貌平平,没有显赫的背景,一切都要靠自己去改变,我比她幸运,没有那么坎坷的命运,没有那么曲折的经历,如果我能拥有简爱一半的力量,我想我就会成功。
故事讲简爱在里德太太家,10岁的简面对舅母、表兄妹的歧视和折磨,已经表现出强烈的反抗精神。当她的表兄殴打她时,她勇于回击;当舅母嚷着叫自己的孩子远离她时,她高喊“他们不配和我在一起”;当她被囚禁在空房中时,想到自己所受到的折磨,从内心发出了“不公正”的呐喊。在孤儿院,简的反抗性格更为鲜明,这和她的朋友海伦·彭斯忍耐顺从的性格形成了明显的对比。海伦·彭斯虽遭迫害却信奉“爱你的仇人”,在宗教的麻痹下没有仇恨,只有逆来顺受。而简对冷酷的校长和摧残她们的教师深恶痛绝。她对海伦说:“假如她用那根条子打我,我要从她手里把它夺过来,并且当面折断它。”充分表露了她不甘屈辱和不向命运妥协的倔强性格。离开孤儿院后,简爱来到了桑菲尔德庄园,并与庄园的男主人罗切斯特相爱,但不幸的是在婚礼的那天,得知罗切斯特已经有妻子了,出于尊严和爱,她离开了庄园,即将到手的幸福也就这样破灭了,不管怎么样,简爱这一生都为了自己的目标,不断追求,面对讥讽,勇敢的捍卫了自己的尊严,最后,也得到了自己的幸福。
简爱这样说:如果上帝赋予我财富和美貌,我会让你难于离开我,就像我现在难于离开你一样。可上帝没有这样安排。但我们的精神是平等的。就如你我走过坟墓,平等地站在上帝面前。无论上帝给你什么,你都有权利拥有自行,拥有追求幸福的理由。
简爱还说:。那些无论我做什么去讨他们的欢心都始终厌恶我的人,我也应该厌恶他们;对那些不公平的惩罚我的人,我就应该反抗。身份卑微,相貌平平,那有怎样,她就是这样敢于反抗,敢于争取自由。
每当我们在生活中遇到困难,每当我们迷茫,难以前进时,想想简爱这一路,或许就有走下去的力量了。
篇8:简爱读后感
全文共 1017 字
+ 加入清单《简爱》是一本具有多年历史的文学著作。至今已152年的历史了。它的成功在于它详细的内容,精彩的片段。在译序中,它还详细地介绍了《简爱》的作者一些背景故事。
从中我了解到了作者夏洛蒂.勃郎特的许多事。她出生在一个年经济困顿、多灾多难的家庭;居住在一个远离尘器的穷乡僻壤;生活在革命势头正健,国家由农民向工业国过渡,新兴资产阶级日益壮大的时代,这些都给她的小说创作上打上了可见的烙印。
可惜,上帝似乎毫不吝啬的塑造了这个天才们。有似乎急不可耐伸出了毁灭之手。这些才华横溢的儿女,都无一例外的先于父亲再人生的黄金时间离开了人间。惜乎,勃郎特姐妹!
《简爱》这本小说,主要通过简。爱与罗切斯特之间一波三折的爱情故事,塑造了一个出生低微、生活道路曲折,却始终坚持维护独立人格、追求个性自由、主张人生平等、不向人生低头的坚强女性。
简。爱生存在一个父母双亡,寄人篱下的环境。从小就承受着与同龄人不一样的待遇:姨妈的嫌弃,表姐的蔑视,表哥的侮辱和毒打。然而,她并没有绝望,她并没有自我摧毁,并没有在侮辱中沉沦。所带来的种种不幸的一切,相反,换回的却是简。爱的无限信心,却是简。爱的坚强不屈的精神,一种可战胜的内在人格力量。
不幸,在学习生活中,简。爱仍然是承受着肉体上的受罚和心灵上的催残。学校的施主罗可赫斯特不但当着全校师生的面诋毁她,而且把她置于耻辱台上示众。使她在全校师生面前丢尽了脸。但简。爱仍坚强不屈,化悲愤为力量,不但在学习上飞速进步,而且也取得了师生们的理解。
不久,简。爱又陷入了爱情的旋涡。个性及强的她同样保持着个人高贵的尊严,在情敌面前显得大家闺秀,毫不逊色,对于英格拉姆小姐的咄咄逼人,她从容面对。
同样, 在罗切斯特的面前,她从不因为自己是一个地位低贱的家庭教师,而感到自卑,她认为他们是平等的。不应该因为她是仆人,而不能受到别人的尊重。也正因为她的正直,高尚,纯洁,心灵没有受到世俗社会的污染。使得罗切斯特感到自惭性秽,同时对她肃然起敬,并深深地爱上了她。他的真心,让她感动,她接受了他。后来,简。爱发现罗切斯特已有了妻子,她的自尊自重再次出现,毫不犹豫地离开了他,她对爱情的专一,让我敬佩。
最后,简。爱得知,罗切斯特为了拯救在活中的妻子不幸双目失明。躯体严重残疾,完全丧失了生活能力,而同时又妻亡财毁。简。爱全身心的爱再次投入了他的怀抱。
从这本书中,可以看出它塑造了一个体现新兴阶级的某些要求的女性形象,刻画了工业革命时期的时代精神。
篇9:优秀的简爱读后感600字
全文共 851 字
+ 加入清单《简·爱》这本书是一部带有自传色彩的小说,它讲述的是一个爱与尊严的故事,并告诉人们一个人生的真谛。
简·爱生存一个寄人篱下的环境,从小就承受着与同龄人不一样的待遇:姨妈的遗弃、表姐的歧视和表哥的侮辱和毒打……也许正是因为这一切,换回了简·爱无限的信心和坚强不屈的性格,一种可战胜的内在人格力量.她坚定不移地去追求一种光明的、圣洁的、美好的生活。
当简·爱认识罗切斯特先生,并与罗切斯特互生爱慕之情,即将步入婚姻殿堂之时,却发现罗切斯特早有妻室——一个被囚禁在阁楼里的疯女人。伤心之余,简·爱孤身逃离庄园,四处流浪,后来因为心中一直对罗切斯特念念不忘,又重新回到他身边。这是庄园已是面目全非,罗切斯特也双目失明,但简·爱毅然地和他走到了一起。
这部小说情节引人入胜,语言质朴无华,景物描写富有浓厚的地方色彩,许多环境描写也是既真实又典型的。如简·爱在舅母家里的生活、在孤儿院里的遭遇以及她和牧师圣·约翰的关系等,都是对当时英国社会生活的如实描写。而其中最具典型意义的,是对孤儿院的描写。在《简·爱》中,夏洛蒂是用第一人称来叙述的,同时包含着强烈的感情,因此对孤儿遭受摧残的心理状态的描写更为细腻、真实,从而加深了对这一现实的揭示和控诉。
简·爱是一代又一代的女性心中最平易近人的偶像,她不会难以靠近,她的影子飘散在我们的周围。简·爱这个艺术形象之所以能够震撼和感染一代又一代各国读者,正是她以自爱和自尊为人生的支柱,才使得自己的人格魅力得以充分展现。倘若把《简·爱》和易卜生的《玩偶之家》做比较,简·爱比那个不愿意活在男人的荫蔽下而选择离家出走的娜拉走得更远、更具有革命性。在《简·爱》中,有这么一段话,是简·爱对罗切斯特说的。“你以为我穷、不美,我就低你一等?你错了。我们是平等的。就像我们同样穿行过坟墓,同样站在上帝的脚跟前,我们是平等的。因为我们的精神是平等的。”女主人对爱情追求发自心底的平等,并带有宗教般的虔诚。这样的话在任何时候都是激动人心的,而出自一个独立人格、自尊心强的女性之口则显得更加有力量。
篇10:《狂蟒之灾》英文读后感
全文共 2143 字
+ 加入清单导语:《狂蟒之灾》在蜿蜒流长的亚马逊河流域的雨林深处,生活着古老而神秘的舒尔族。他们与世隔绝,以食人蛇为叩拜图腾。围绕着舒尔族人的传说和秘密让雨淋之外的人们振奋不已。下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的优秀英语读后感,欢迎阅读与借鉴,谢谢!
Every preconceived notion audiences might have about "Anaconda" is correct. This supposed serpentine shocker features doomed adventurers wading through murky water while a deadly snake approaches and "Jaws"-like music throbs. The plot retraces a formula employed by countless predecessors to kill off its supporting characters in a predictable sequence. And theres the bad guy with the foreign accent, and the requisite romance between handsome anthropologist and shapely journalist. Its all here, as is an ironic comfort in watching such a well-worn tale from the dark side.
Dr. Steven Cale (Eric Stoltz) is heading down the Amazon in search of an undocumented Indian tribe. Joining him is Terri Flores ("Selenas" Jennifer Lopez), a filmmaker charged with recording Dr. Cales quest. Ten minutes into their voyage, snaky Paul Sarone (Jon Voight) jumps aboard and commandeers the boat to begin a Captain Ahab-style hunt for his gigantic underwater nemesis: the titular anaconda upon whose nonexistent shoulders this movie rests. Despite satisfactory performances from the cast, the films human characters remain secondary to this nasty snake and the special effects that created it.
Scary, this movie isnt. The faux serpent, albeit an impressive creature, looks wholly unrealistic as it zips through water and air like a Saturday morning cartoon character. And such schlocky touches as the anacondas penchant for regurgitation are more gross (and funny) than frightening. What chills there are spring more from standard stalk-and-startle techniques than from the creepy characteristics associated with snakes. Director Luis Llosa ("The Specialist") shot "Anaconda" in Brazil, and the tropical setting imbues his movie with much-needed authenticity and cinematic richness. Llosa advances the story at an absorbing clip that never bores the audience, and he wisely eschews any high-minded discourse about good and evil. As cheesy, predictable horror flicks go, "Anaconda" squeezes considerable life from its limited aspirations.
篇11:简爱读后感作文800字
全文共 1090 字
+ 加入清单2个月的暑假,学校布置了一些作业,让我们读几本好书。对于我来说,我并不怎么喜欢读那些过于乏味的教育性重的书。所以我就选了《简爱》,其实我很早就想读这本小说,但由于种种原因,没有把它读完,借着这个机会,我就去网上读了这本小说。
小说女主人公简爱,对于她,我有的是欣赏和赞美,她追求独立,追求男女之间精神的平等。虽经历不幸却热爱生活,并把爱带给每个需要她的人。为了自己的爱的信念,平等的真实纯粹的爱,甚至毅然放弃渴望以久的唾手可得的爱情,并最终也自己的爱人实现了精神上的平等,简爱的一生,虽谈不上轰轰烈烈,但却是平凡而不平庸。
而简爱的好友—海伦,充满智慧和爱心的小女孩。海伦的忍耐是常人无法理解的,包括简爱。海伦因小事受鞭罚,简认为这是无法忍受的。她说:“要是他用那个鞭揍我,我会从她手中夺过来,我会当着他的面把它折断。然而海伦却以圣经中的以德报怨,告之以忍耐既然无可避免就非忍受不可,命中该你忍受的事如果你说受不了,那是软弱和愚蠢的。简惊异而无法理解这种信条,也无法理解和赞同她的宽容,然而她感觉到了海伦是“凭借一种我所看不到的光来考察事物的”
比起简爱的反抗、海伦的忍耐更耐人寻味。
而小说中,简爱与罗切斯特一波三折的爱情,让我形成了最初的爱情观。在罗切斯特先生的面前,她从不因为自己是一个地位低贱的家庭教师而感到自卑,反而认为他们是平等的。不应该认为她是仆人,而不能受到别人的尊重,也正因为她的正直,高尚,纯洁,和那颗没有受到世俗社会的污染心灵,使得罗切斯特为之震撼,并把她看作了一个可以和自己在精神上平等交流的人,并且慢慢地深深爱上了她。他的真心,让她感动,她接受了他,而当他们结婚的那一天,简。爱知道了罗切斯特已有妻子时,她觉得自己必须要离开,她这样讲,“我要遵从上帝颁发世人认可的法律,我要坚守住我在清醒时而不是像现在这样疯狂时所接受的原则”,“我要牢牢守住这个立场”。这是简爱告诉罗切斯特她必须离开的理由,但是从内心讲,更深一层的东西是简爱意识到自己受到了欺骗,她的自尊心受到了戏弄,因为她深爱着罗切斯特。哪个女人能够承受得住,被自己最信任,最亲密的人所欺骗呢?简爱承受住了,而且还做出了一个非常理性的决定。在这样一种非常强大的爱情力量包围之下,在美好,富裕的生活诱惑之下,她依然要坚持自己作为个人的尊严,这是简爱最具有精神魅力的地方。
小说的结局很完美,作者美好的生活理想——尊严+爱。如今的社会,为了金钱与地位,大家在穷与富,选择富;爱与不爱,选择不爱,很少有人像简爱那样为了爱情不顾一切。我真的很喜欢简爱的性格,也喜欢这本小说,所以在闲暇之时,希望大家都能抽出时间去阅读。
篇12:爱在身后20米读后感1000字
全文共 1028 字
+ 加入清单父爱的伟大
当我刚刚读完《爱在身后20米》这篇短文的时候,不禁热泪盈眶——为那伟大的父爱。
这篇文章很感人,写了主人公考进了初中,可每天却要走十几里的山路。父亲要每天送他去读书,但他拒绝了父亲的好意,不让父亲送他。在路上,他很害怕。这样的害怕持续了三年。直到有一次,他与父亲游泳,发现父亲腿上的一条蜈蚣似的伤疤,跟母亲的聊天中,才明白了整个事情的来龙去脉:原来他每天上学的路上父亲一直跟着他!而父亲腿上的伤疤,是在送他上学时被捕兽夹给夹伤的。父亲还总结出送他的经验,离他20米远,既能看到他又不会被发现……
读到这儿,我的眼睛湿润了。这是一位多么伟大的父亲啊!他不辞辛劳,为的,却只是孩子的安全!他放弃了自己的工作,跟着儿子去上学;他放弃了自己的睡眠,跟着儿子在半夜就起床,去上学;他还放弃了……这位伟大的父亲为了儿子,可以放弃一切!
合上书本,细细回味,文中一句话令我印象最深刻:“这一生,只要我们还行走在人生崎岖的山路上,父就亲会一直紧紧地跟在我们身后20米,直到他再也迈不开脚步的时候……”我的父亲也说过类似的话,我小时候很喜欢父亲抱着我上楼,我问父亲:“爸爸,您可以抱我上楼到几岁呀?”父亲说:“只要你喜欢多大都行,除非有一天我抱不动你了。”父爱是多么伟大啊!是父爱,给了我们温暖;是父爱,教会了我们许多道理;更是父爱,创造了一个又一个的奇迹!
无独有偶,在美国洛杉矶的一次大地震中,一个儿子不幸被埋。而他的父亲却凭着非凡的毅力和坚定不移的决心,不顾他人的劝告,挖了38个小时,救出了自己的儿子。这不也体现了父爱的无私和伟大吗?
感动的同时,我为自己也感到非常庆幸,我跟文中小主人公一样也有一位非常爱我的父亲,我每天六点五十分起床,美味的餐桌就已经摆在餐桌上了,是父亲很早起床为我精心准备的,有的时候前一天吃好晚饭就立马为我准备第二天的早餐,并为了营养均衡每天换着不同的样式。等我吃完爱心早餐,就匆匆送我上学,风雨无阻;下午放学时,准能在人群中看待焦急等待我的父亲,天天如此!这些看似平凡普通的小事中,正是体现了父爱的深沉与伟大,在这里,我想向父亲道一声:父亲您辛苦了!
而我却总是理所当然地享受着这份爱,忽略了父亲眼角的皱纹,忽略了渐渐变白的双鬓……再回头看看自己,我不但理所当然地享受这份爱,更有误会父亲的时候。想到这些,我觉得我欠父亲一句“谢谢您!”以后,我一定要学会更体谅父亲、关心父亲,我也要为父亲做一些力所能及的事!做一个心怀感恩的人!
我爱你,父亲!
篇13:简爱读后感600字
全文共 684 字
+ 加入清单我怀着好奇而敬畏的心来读这本书,简?爱的一生,或许悲伤,又或许有许多幸福。
她的舅妈不爱她,她的朋友在病重中去世,她的爱人有过一个妻子……许多许多生活坎坷与情感的挫折,确实让人悲伤。
但是她拥有自己的独特的个人魅力,有爱自己的远房亲戚,有爱自己的罗切斯特先生……这又是多么幸福。
而这幸福,是她靠自己的执着,靠自己的坚持,靠自己的抗争获得的。所以,我认为,简?爱是一个平凡而伟大的人。
她会在悲伤中自己找寻解脱,在解脱中学会淡淡遗忘。只要有着对生活的热爱和对生命的牵挂,就会努力去寻找可以属于自己的东西。
再看看我们,有多少人能做到像简?爱一样,对于自己喜爱和渴望的一切,那么地执着追求?又有多少人像简?爱一样,心中所想便一直不放弃?又有多少人能像简?爱一样,敢于对自己讨厌的人或物亲口说出“不”?最为关键的是,还有多少人能在这些问题前面说出自己从来没有过掩饰,或者从来没有过胆怯?
现在的我们年纪轻轻,并没有什么太多的遗憾,但却总会有或多或少的后悔之事。比如我,小时候就去学中国舞,但是后来觉得枯燥,压韧带也疼痛,就放弃了。等到现在,真心喜欢舞蹈了,我的韧带却没有了之前的柔韧。
的确,坚持并抗争到最后总会有成就感。再说说我学习弹钢琴的经历,五岁就开始学习,开始的理由其实很简单——钢琴能弹出美妙动听的声音;到了七八岁时,又觉得很枯燥,感觉没有任何意义,每个星期练琴的时间便逐渐减少。所幸后来及时醒悟,慢慢地,我又学会了享受钢琴、享受练习、享受音乐……2016年,我通过了五级,从此便发自内心地爱上钢琴了。
道理和事实都很简单:坚持了,执着了,就不再有遗憾,也就因此而有无限的可能!

White eagle leg have a piece of paper, it read: "my name is purple smoke, when I was in flowers fell into the valley, come and save me!" That night, the root bird nook near the valley with his father after nothing, duty-bound to root bird on the road to the west to find purple smoke. On the way, root bird met board Mr Kim. Board Mr Kims family got a super surprise, all the family man, at the age of 18, then suddenly cant dream. Mr Kim to follow a dream, walk to the west. Sheet metal and root birds are all in order to reach own purpose, continuous efforts, even if, on wheels, so be it.

Root bird is a boy who dared to pursue their dreams! After reading this book, let me know the person on the way to pursue your dream, will encounter various difficulties, frustration, confusion, but must not give up. Like root birds, although the money lost, but he still go forward; Although being hired, he was still trying to come up with various way; Despite his illness had a high fever, but he still wont stop down, clinging to go forward!
In fact, persistence is a kind of power, but also the steps of success and victory! I think it is the same and we are learning, no matter how far from ideal, as long as our goal towards their own unremitting efforts, is likely to get the final success.
最近,我读了曹文轩写的一本小说:《根鸟》。我一看书名,顿时起了疑心:根鸟是一个人名,还是一只鸟?我怀着不解而迫不及待的心情,翻开了书……
呀!我找到了答案:根鸟是个男孩,他家在菊坡。有一天他独自外出打猎的时候,无意中射到了一只白鹰。白鹰的腿上有一张纸条,上面写着:“我叫紫烟,我在采花的时候掉进了峡谷里,快来救救我呀!”当晚,根鸟与父亲寻遍了附近的山谷毫无收获后,根鸟义不容辞地踏上了西寻紫烟之路。途中,根鸟结识了板金先生。板金先生的家族得了一种超级奇怪的毛病,凡是这个家族的男子,一到十八岁,便突然不能做梦。板金先生为了追随梦,一直向西走。板金和根鸟都是为了达到自己的目的,不断努力,就算上刀山、下火海,也在所不惜。
板金先生到达莺店时,他的人生就要走到尽头了。临终时,他告诉根鸟:要一直往西走,要坚持不懈,一定要找到那个大峡谷。根鸟经历了各种困难,这些困难磨练了他。终于,他到达了开满百合花的大峡谷,看见白色的鹰在空中飞翔……
根鸟是一个敢于追求梦想的男孩!读完这部书,让我知道了人在追求自己梦想的道路上,会遇到各种困难、挫折、迷惑,但一定不能放弃。要像根鸟一样:尽管钱丢了,但他还是勇往直前;虽然被人雇佣了,但他还是努力想出各种办法;尽管生病发高烧,但他仍不会停歇下来,执着地往前走!
其实,坚持是一种力量,更是获得成功与胜利的脚步!我想这和我们学习是一样的,不管理想有多远,只要我们向着自己的目标坚持不懈的努力,才有可能获得最后的成功。

+ 加入清单时光如水,光阴似箭。
不知何时,我突然发现爸爸的头上多了许多白发,黑白分明的有些刺眼。
我的记忆仍停留在那个就连出门买包烟都要臭美一番的人身上,而现在岁月却在他身上留下了不可磨灭的痕迹,眼角的皱纹,斑白的头发和那一双不知经历了多少磨难而变得粗糙的双手。
爸爸很高,走到他近旁时我都还需仰望他,可是渐渐的不知是我长高了还是他老了,我觉得他没有记忆中的那么高大强壮了。
爸爸很唠叨,他总爱语重心长的对我讲大道理,而我也不知道自己到底听没听进去多少。
爸爸心很软,平时教训我和弟弟时,虽然嘴上说着等一下要怎么怎么样可是心里却舍不得,到最后什么也没做。
他总是这样刀子嘴豆腐心。
而这样他却渐渐老了,是在为我们操碎了心时老的,老的不着痕迹却又让人心疼。从小到大我不太会表达自己的情绪,无论什么事也是自己憋着然后自己想办法解决,若实在解决不了就再找朋友帮忙。
越大我越来越疏远他了,有什么事也不爱和他讲,但他却总是不耐烦的给我打电话然后和我讲讲话,聊聊天。有时我觉得我挺对不起他的,平时不只很少关心他还爱和他顶嘴。
可能是自己长大了,心态变得不一样,渐渐的也懂得了一些事,也很难再像以前那样无理取闹了。
因为最好的我们总在最好的六月里毕业了,而更好的我们在未来!
篇16:《德伯家的苔丝》英文读后感
全文共 4387 字
+ 加入清单《德伯家的苔丝》是哈代的代表作,是“威塞克斯系列”中的一部。它描写了一位农村姑娘的悲惨命运。看过这部小说后你有什么感触呢?下面是小编为大家整理的英文读后感范文,希望对你有帮助。
She was seduced by a so-called gentleman—Alec, and from then on her life totally changed from this loss of innocence. People looked down on her and respected her no more. Actually she did nothing wrong because before she was seduced she knew nothing of men. She was just a girl when she first met that terrible man.
She was forced by the gossips and the church to blame herself for this accident, so she thought she deserved nothing good. In order to get rid of the past she decided to go to a distant dairy farm but was still saying to herself that she was wrong. Maybe God didn’t agree with that, because the Lord gave her someone she loved with her whole heart and life—Angel Chare. Angel popped the question to her but she refused him without saying why. She said she loved him deeply and perhaps no one in the world could love him more than she did but she could not marry him for some unspoken reason. Angel wasn’t satisfied with this vague answer and did his best to win Tess. Somehow she agreed and they soon fixed the wedding day. Soon after their wedding Angel confessed the crime he committed to a woman long time ago and asked for Tess’s forgiveness. Tess was not at all angry and forgave Angel at once; in fact she was rather happy and excited for she also had things to confess.
She sat and told everything to Angel, hoping he would forgive her as he was forgiven but she was wrong. She was not forgiven, not as she thought she was. The woman pays.
Without Angel’s love, nothing meant anything to her. The result wasn’t important now. Tess was arrested for her murder of that so-called gentleman. Why? She still loved Angel and when he finally went back to her and asked for HER forgiveness, after he regretted what he had done unfair to Tess, she was desperate. That was too late—Alec had always told Tess that Angel would never come back so he won Tess’s trust. Unluckily Angel did come back and found Tess.! Everything was too late!
Tess was deceived and she lost Angel for the second time! The strengh of her love was so strong that she had forgotten the difference between right and wrong. Before that she had done nothing wrong but when she killed Alec, everything really changed! She became a criminal! How could it be? She was as pure and innocent as the good wife in the Bible. Her whole character was honest and faithful. Angel figured out at last that a person should be judged not only on what he has done but also on what he wanted to do!
Tess didn’t want to be seduced by man and she had no power to defend herself so she lost her innocence and that’s all! Angel also did the wrong thing and it was even more serious than Tess’s crime but HE was not blamed for it. Why it is always the woman who pays? Why they are always hurt? Why was Tess’s girlish purity lost? Why does the wrong man take the wrong woman? Why do the bad often ruin the good? Why is beauty damaged by ugliness? Women are too weak! Thousands of years of history have shown us that women have always been treated unfairly!
In old China there was a culture, which didn’t think of women as human beings. If you asked one if he was the oldest in his family, he would probably answer “the oldest one” even if he had some elder sisters. If you asked why then he would say, “Ha, they are not included!”
People gave birth to many girls in order to have only one boy to keep the family name going. They thought girls had no use for the family. They would be married and go to live with their husbands’ home and be their wives some day sooner or later. So they were extremely hard on girls.
Girls should be hard working, faithful, loyal, intelligent, and virtuous and the most important thing was she must be a maiden! If her husband was the first man who touched her then she was a good girl, a good wife no matter how she thought. If she wasn’t, then she would gain a very bad reputation and nobody would dare to go near her. What about men? People did not care whether he was an experienced man or not, nor did they care about his character. They thought man equals power and power equals rights…
Now let’s not be so bitter. Nowadays women’s situations have become much better. Some are because of the change of society and some are because of civilization. Just let those poor painful women like TESS be just a memory.
篇17:水浒传读后感高一1000字范文
全文共 1006 字
+ 加入清单《水浒传》是我国的四大名著之一,平时上学没什么时间看,这次借暑假的时间比较充分,把这部巨作给看完了,书中的人物形象个个都刻画的性格鲜明,情节也引人入胜,从翻开书的那刻起,便爱不释手,读后感叹不已!
水浒传最吸引我的是人物性格鲜明:足智多谋的吴用,胆大如虎的武松,天真率直的李逵,嫉恶如仇的鲁智深……
水浒传的故事情节应该可以感染每个人,当然,我也不例外,被里面众多情节深深地吸引,比如:武松景阳冈打虎,林冲风雪山神庙等等。
大多数人都非常喜欢《水浒传》中的英雄好汉,唯独宋江这个人物,大家的看法意见都不一样,下面我就来谈谈宋江吧。
宋江自幼读儒家书,受传统教育,走入社会在县衙中做押司(小吏),刀笔精通。他的出身经历和性格,使他了解和体验百姓的痛苦,有正义感,养成一种办事谨小慎微、随机应变,喜欢玩权术。因为他在官府任小吏,他懂法,有遵守法度的习惯。宋江到梁山泊以后,他处理问题比较周全,有人说他虚伪、玩权术,这是他处理问题的一种手段。如俘获霹雳火秦明,让位卢俊义等。他犯罪后衙门给他戴上枷,别人把枷打开时,他说不能,这是国家的法度。
宋江上梁山前是一位仗义英雄,义放晁盖,当法与义发生矛盾时,宋江就不顾法度了。他对梁山的事业有一定的贡献,他为了梁山好汉在忍无可忍的情况下杀了阎婆惜。
宋江上梁山后,成为义军的首领。他自己说在文武方面并无过人之处,为什么还能当梁山泊的首领呢?这是由于宋江有以下优势:仗义疏财,在江湖中有一定的号召力;关怀兄弟,兄弟遇难设法相救;有一定的组织和军事指挥才能,如三打祝家庄战役,他注意总结经验,从调查虚实入手,又拆散祝家庄与其他二家联盟等。
受招安以后,宋江成为了一个朝廷的忠臣。他的思想是为国家出力,保人民平安。晁盖死后,宋江将“聚义厅”改为“忠义堂”,这对起义军来说是一件重要的事情,是《水浒传》中宋江的一大关键。受招安以后把梁山上的“替天行道”大旗改为“顺天护国”,他也由起义军首领走到服从朝廷的顺臣。这时,宋江的思想是:我是热爱国家的,皇帝代表国家,朝廷不负我,我不负朝廷。他不听吴用等好汉的劝阻,去征起义军领袖方腊,打得十分惨烈。
悲剧的结局。宋江带领众人征方腊以后,原本的108位好汉还剩下27个,其余的不是牺牲就是出走了,而朝廷并不信任他,对他加害致死。宋江临死前,唯恐李逵再次造反,让李逵喝药酒被毒死。
宋江一生是曲折的,先是仗义英雄,梁山首领,招安后成为朝廷忠臣,最后是悲惨的结局。

篇19:高一《海底两万里》的读后感800字
全文共 836 字
+ 加入清单俄国作家巴别尔曾经说过:“人的一生其实不用读太多的书,有个七八本足矣;但是,为了找到这七八本最值得读的书,必须先读完两三千本。”在浩瀚的书海之中,《海底两万里》无疑是我们最应该读的那几本书中的一本。
《海底两万里》作者儒勒·凡尔纳被誉为“科学幻想之父”,是我这个喜欢科幻的的中学生最崇拜的作家之一,他的作品构思奇妙、引人入胜,又富含科学精神。他的幻想绝不是异想天开,作品中他所预见的很多科技和器械,后来都变成了现实生活中的实有之物。
《海底两万里》是他的代表作。作品中的人物内德和孔塞伊让我记忆犹新,谜一样的人物尼摩船长更为本书增色不少,他的勇气和奋不顾身营救难友的情景在我脑中挥之不去,在旅行中险象环生的险恶环境和充满诗意的美妙境界相互交织以及丰富的科普知识使我一次次沉浸在书的奇妙世界里。来,让我带你去体验一下大海中的旋转吧!
“鹦鹉螺”号被它的舰长无意之中或者也许是有意为之给引到了这个大漩涡中来。“鹦鹉螺”号被吸引了,在画着螺旋形的转圈,圈圈儿越画越小。我感觉到,仍旧附着在大艇身上的我们的那只小艇,也跟着大艇在以令人目眩的高速度旋转。
我体验着这种旋转。我们处于极度的恐惧之中,仿佛血液都停止了循环,神经丧失了反应,浑身上下如垂死之人似的在冒汗!我们的弱不禁风的小艇周围,是一片轰鸣的可怕的声响,几海里之外都能听到那海浪咆哮的回声!海水冲击海底的尖利礁石,发出刺耳的碎裂声!再坚硬的物体,撞到那些礁石上,也会粉身碎骨!被卷进漩涡中的粗大树干,按挪威人的说法,也都变成“毛皮上的绒毛”……
读着书中的每一句话,都有让人身临其境的感觉,对海底事物的刻画也是惟妙惟肖、入木三分,这不正是我在以后的写作中需要学习的吗?了解了“科幻”和“幻想”的区别,只有读更多的书,才能了解科学;只有多实践,才能做到科学。虽然在以后的生活和学习中,会遇到这样那样的困难和挫折,但我一定要向书中主人公那样,在逆境中崛起。相信在最困难之时,就是离成功不远之日,相信“长风破浪会有时,直挂云帆济沧海”!
篇20:OneThousandOneNight英文读后感
全文共 1311 字
+ 加入清单This book is simply wonderful. The tales involved are tales of the Persian Gulf, of Bagdhad, Arabia, and tales that we as adults should revisit for some enjoyable light reading that will make us smile and wonder at the old folklore of the Arabian Peninsula.
Sinbad the Sailor is in there, as is Aladdin in its original form, and the story begins of a king who is so upset by his wifes unfaithfulness that he will now only accept virgins for one night and then have them killed. A smart virgin begins her night with the infamous king by telling him stories, and she so fascinates him and enthralls him with her tales that the tales turn into folklore for readers of the ages. I wont tell you what happens in the end to the virgin princess, but you will find humor, enchantment, wisdom and fantasy for those times when stress becomes a factor in your life.
I highly recommend the tale of "The Historic Fart" as a both funny and inspiring tale of human nature. Please buy this book and remember to become a nine -12 year old again as you read with curiosity and wonder at the fabulous enchanting, lively stories. I was beginning to wish my children were a bit younger so I could read these to them. Any child would enjoy these stories, and any adult will find them simply relaxing and a reflection of medieval Islam.
