To Regain the Nature of Goodness

—— Review of ‘Oliver Twist

Oliver Twist, one of the most famous works of Charles Dickens, is a novel reflecting the tragic fact of the life in Britain in 18th century.

The author who himself was born in a poor family wrote this novel in his twenties with a view to reveal the ugly masks of those cruel criminals and to expose the horror and violence hidden underneath the narrow and dirty streets in London.

The hero of this novel was Oliver Twist, an orphan, who was thrown into a world full of poverty and crime. He suffered enormous pain, such as hunger, thirst, beating and abuse. While reading the tragic experiences of the little Oliver, I was shocked by his sufferings. I felt for the poor boy, but at the same time I detested the evil Fagin and the brutal Bill. To my relief, as was written in all the best stories, the goodness eventually conquered devil and Oliver lived a happy life in the end. One of the plots that attracted me most is that after the theft, little Oliver was allowed to recover in the kind care of Mrs. Maylie and Rose and began a new life. He went for walks with them, or Rose read to him, and he worked hard at his lessons. He felt as if he had left behind forever the world of crime and hardship and poverty.

How can such a little boy who had already suffered oppressive affliction remain pure in body and mind? The reason is the nature of goodness. I think it is the most important information implied in the novel by Dickens-he believed that goodness could conquer every difficulty. Although I dont think goodness is omnipotent, yet I do believe that those who are kind-hearted live more happily than those who are evil-minded.

For me, the nature of goodness is one of the most necessary character for a person. Goodness is to humans what water is to fish. He who is without goodness is an utterly worthless person. On the contrary, as the famous saying goes, ‘The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose, he who is with goodness undoubtedly is a happy and useful person. People receiving his help are grateful to him and he also gets gratified from what he has done, and thus he can do good to both the people he has helped and himself.

To my disappointment, nowadays some people seem to doubt the existence of the goodness in humanity. They look down on peoples honesty and kindness, thinking it foolish of people to be warm-hearted. As a result, they show no sympathy to those who are in trouble and seldom offer to help others. On the other hand, they attach importance to money and benefit. In their opinion, money is the only real object while emotions and morality are nihility. If they cannot get profit from showing their ‘kindness, they draw back when others are faced with trouble and even hit a man when he is down. They are one of the sorts that I really detest.

Francis Bacon said in his essay, ‘Goodness, of all virtues and dignities of the mind, is the greatest, being the character of the Deity, and without it, man is a busy, mischievous, wretched thing, no better than a kind of vermin.

That is to say a person without goodness is destined to lose everything. Therefore, I, a kind person, want to tell those vermin-to-be to learn from the kind Oliver and regain the nature of goodness.

我相信每一个看过《双城记》的人，都会在震撼之余赞不绝口。由英国著名作家狄更斯所著的这部书，永垂不朽！名著就是名著，不管多少年过后，名著依然散发着璀璨光彩，更何。

我看《双城记》，原因是在网上有许多网友推荐，他们都说那是一本非常感人的书，我怀着好奇心就在网上下载来看，看完了一部分感觉还不错，就写下这篇读后感。

“这是最好的时代，也是最坏的时代。”《双城记》开篇第一句话被无数次引用。但我猜知道这句话的人并一定小说《双城记》讲述了一个怎么样的故事，也不知道这句话为何而说。如果想理解这句话的原意，以及为何说写出这句经典名句，那自然是要读读原著的。

网上有人说，《双城记》只是描写了两个男人和一个女人的故事，但是我却觉得，那个人没有了解作者真正想表达的意思。以我看来，德发奇一家和法国贵族的仇恨也好，露西、查尔斯和西德尼的感情也好，都只是为了表现这场战争是谁引起的，为什么事而起的。虽然《双城记》是一本经典的小说，但因为其明确提出这段革命背景是法国大革命，于是对革命的表现就被认为是作者的历史观。而这正是对小说无数争议的焦点。狄更斯在小说中除了以细腻的笔墨展示了贵族的残忍，同样也展示了革命群众非理性的破坏。他认为，革命是一种压迫取代了另一种压迫，一场直接浓重的血腥暴*替代了另外一场血腥。对攻占巴士底狱以及对暴*民众的一系列描写——血腥，残忍，狡诈，恶毒是小说最为引人注目的地方。

文中《双城记》，最让我喜欢的是律师助手西德尼？卡尔顿。他第一次出现就与众不同，当法庭上的人若无其事地望着天花板时，而他的一张字条却揭晓了案件背后的阴谋。他一出场就带着一身的忧郁，作为律师的他算得上是才华出众，但却又情愿躲在人家的后面，做别人成功的垫脚石，他仿佛自己亲手筑起了一堵墙，与名利隔绝。他曾说过：“我是个绝望了的苦力，我不关心世上任何人，也没有任何人关心我。”

是啊，我们不应该渴望出名，那样就学不到更多的知识。也许做别人背后的垫脚石，还能操你个别人那里学到更多的知识，我们能够看到他的长处和短处，学习他的长处，抛掉自己的短处。

读完《野性的呼唤》这本书，我深深感受到了动物的思想和感情。

"The call of the wild" after reading this book, I deeply felt the animals thoughts and feelings.

小狗巴克生活在南方，过习惯了悠闲自得的生活，养成了温柔的性格，但是，这样的日子没过多久，因为，有一天园丁把巴克拐卖到了北方。它被想得到金子的人用作了雪橇狗，拉雪橇。祖先们原始的野性在它身上渐渐发出。巴克渐渐变得残酷，它让所有的和它一块儿拉雪橇的狗们都顺从了它，然后把狗群的首领咬死，自己当了首领。后来的主人桑顿对巴克很好，巴克也和桑顿过的像一家人一样亲密。可是后来，桑顿被河水淹死了。巴克一点儿牵挂都没了，就跑到森林里当了狼。

The dog back to live in the south, too accustomed to leisurely life, develop a gentle character, but this time, not long before, because, one day the gardener to buck abducted to the north. It is to want to obtain the gold used for the sled dog sled. Ancestors of the original wild on it began to make. Buck gradually become cruel, it makes it all together and the sled dogs are resigned to it, and then killed the princes of Gou Qun himself as leader. Later, master Thornton is good to buck, buck and Thornton had as a family intimacy. But then, Thornton was drowned. Buck was worried about not, went to the forest as a wolf.

巴克在南方只是一条宠物狗，倒是要感激园丁的拐卖，幸而，才改变了它的一生。与生俱来的野性让它轻而易举成为群狗之首。忠诚和感恩使它和桑顿像一家人一样亲密。桑顿有危险时，是巴克勇敢地去救主人。虽然，巴克只是一条狗，但是它和人一样拥有情感，富有思想。

Buck in the south is a pet dog, it is to appreciate the abducted, fortunately, did not change his life. Born with the wild dogs to make it easy to become the first. Loyalty and gratitude to Thornton like a family intimacy. Thornton is in danger, Barker bravely to save the master. Although he is just a dog, but its like people have feelings, full of ideas.

为了你，为了你所亲爱的任何人，我愿意做任何事情。倘若我的生命中有值得牺牲的可能和机会，我甘愿为你和你所爱的人们而牺牲。

——西德尼·卡尔顿

就这样被感动了。它是一部波澜壮阔的历史，它是一个感人肺腑的故事，它更是一种纯洁而高尚的爱。它就是狄更斯笔下的《双城记》。全书充溢着扑朔迷离的色彩，作者以一连串引人入胜的故事为框架，以十八世纪法国大革命为背景。在黑暗的资本主义社会里，农民阶级和工人阶级忍受着资产阶级无情的剥削。正如作者所说：“昌盛而又衰微，笃诚而又多疑，光明而又黑暗，这是充满阳光希望的黎明，又是阴暗失望的长夜，人们拥有一切，却两手空空。”而主人公西德尼·卡尔顿、露西·曼内特和查尔斯·达尔内之间真挚的情感，成为这部名著亮丽的一笔。

在小说中，狄更斯成功地塑造了主要人物鲜明的个性。曼内特是个深爱女儿的父亲，在经历磨难后仍宽容地把女儿嫁给仇人的儿子;露西是温柔善良的贤妻良母，为了让丈夫能看自己一眼每天风雨不改地到大墙对面站立两小时;查尔斯是个正直、豁达的贵族，与露西相爱，为了爱情甘愿放弃爵位与财产。

小说中还有一个人物，就是让人有点憎恶的泰雷兹·德伐日。失去亲人使她活着的唯一意义就是革命胜利之时为亲人报仇。可是等到革命胜利时，她许多年来梦寐以求的复仇却失去了对象，她的愤怒之深是可以想象的，然而为了发泄积愤却拿侯爵兄弟的儿子及其家人抵罪，她走上了一条与那些伪贵族同样残忍的道路，于是她的种种行为使她一步步失去了读者的谅解。最后，恶人有恶报，她戏剧性地因为枪走火而结束了自己充满仇恨的一生。也许这才是她最佳的结局。那些像德伐日那样以复仇为生活唯一目的的人，即使命运坎坷，也决不能博得人们的同情。

而在整篇小说中，最让我喜欢也是最令人感动的就是律师助手——西德尼·卡尔顿。他一出场就带着一身忧郁，隐去了光芒，总是灰心、失望、冷漠、凄凉。他妥协于周围环境，但有时却又显得格格不入，作为律师助手的他才华出众，却甘心情愿躲在人后，做别人成功的垫脚石，他仿佛亲手筑起了一堵墙，隔绝了名利、社会，默默地逗留在角落里。他与查尔斯长得十分相似，也同样深爱着露西，然而两者命运却截然不同。他羡慕查尔斯，也恨他。可在经历痛苦的煎熬后，他依旧带着诚挚的祝福，愿露西与查尔斯永远幸福，因为“爱比恨更为强有力得多”。这个表面上懒散、放纵的“无用之徒”，内心却是崇高而纯洁的。

终于，他向露西表达了自己的情感。每次读起那段话，难免感到心酸，“我希望你知道你是我灵魂最后的梦。我是在堕落的生活中看见你和你的父亲，还有你所经营的那个甜蜜的家，才恢复了我心中自以为早己死去的往日的梦想。我也因此才感到比任何时候都要凄凉可怜。自从我见到你以后，我才为一种原以为不会再谴责我的悔恨所苦恼。我听到我以为早已永远沉默的往日的声音在悄悄地催我上进…………”

当查尔斯因为家族的犯罪而被无辜判决死刑，西德尼竟然代替他去断头台接受行刑。在生命与爱之间，他选择了后者。他爱露西，为了她的幸福，他为她的爱人献出自己的生命。当他走上断头台的时候，面上依然保持着笑容，他信守对露西的诺言……因为，他的爱便是他的生命。此时此刻，我的脑海中想起了裴多菲的那首诗：“我愿意是急流/山里的小河/在崎岖的路上/岩石上经过/只要我的爱人是一条小鱼/在我的浪花中快乐地游来游去……”

尽管小说以一个意外的“大团圆”收场，但当读者流着眼泪读完该书时，却感到无限的遗憾、心酸。有人说爱情是自私的，但在狄更斯的《双城记》中，我却能深深地感受到一种超脱世俗的最纯洁、最崇高的爱。它隐藏在内心深处，但却无比的深厚;它默默地承受煎熬，为的只是使心爱的人幸福;它总是无私地付出，而不求一点儿的回报。这种爱在无形中上升到一个新境界，永恒地放着凄美而迷人的光彩。

“为了你，为了你所亲爱的任何人，我愿意做任何事情。倘若我的生命中有值得牺牲的可能和机会，我甘愿为你和你所爱的人们而牺牲。”

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.

这个假期，我利用空余时间阅读了狄更斯的《双城记》，也有了些体悟，下面我来把我的感受写下来。

一、情节布置

这部著作的情节是十分玄妙的，作者把各种线索串联起来，如文中所说的一样“编织”成了这部小说。小说最大的特点是人物关系复杂：如马 奈特医生和达南的关系；德发奇太太与达南的关系——这两个关系直接导致了最后的悲剧。还有洛瑞先生与德发奇的关系以及格仑舍与密探的关系等等。这些复杂的人物关系使此部著作情节环环相扣。

这本书最有特色的一个章节是顿临死前与一位小姑娘的对话，从这番对话中彻底揭示了革命群众过于疯狂以及善将永存的主旨。

二、人物特点

本书最重要的人物是查尔斯·达南（埃弗蒙德）。他是一个很矛盾的人，他非常憎恨自己的父亲与叔父，但是他还必须支撑整个家族的产业。所以，当老仆人给他写信 时，他便不得不回到法国。他是一个善良的人，具备一位贵族所具有的文明气质，并且当他去会见自己的叔父时，他明确提出了“不能再迫害人民”的说法。同时，他放弃了贵族特权，本来就是一件善事。

悉尼·卡顿也是位重要人物。在读这部小说的前半部分时，我一直不大喜欢这个随意、懒惰的人物。但是在往后读的过程中，我发现他是一个敢作敢为、足智多谋的人。虽然是“朋友”，但实际上卡顿和达南的关系并没有那么好，但是为了他们一家人幸福滴生活，卡顿甘愿走上断头台，让达南逃跑，而自己成了永恒的善的化身。在文章中提到卡顿死时“犹如一位先知“。

德发奇夫妇也属于本书中的焦点人物。德发奇本人是个善良的人，他收留了马奈特医生，并且在大革命之后告诉自己的夫人见好就收。而德发奇太太就是个复仇者，她受过埃弗蒙德兄弟的迫害，所以她一心想杀掉法国所有贵族。当然，由于她的过激行为，使她最后死于普洛士小姐手中。

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.

"" 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.

Its a short story by O.Henry that has moved me for a long time.Maybe most of you are familar with its name,that is,The Gift of the Magi.I have read it many times but every time I like to read it slowly and deliberately.I think "The Gift of the Magi"

is meant to be savored.

Maybe there is no necessity for me to repeat the main idea of the story.But Im

so fascinated with the short story that I want to retell it yo you,and to myself.

It happened to a very poor but blissful young couple named Jim and Della in the end of 18th century in England.Because of the maladies of that society and the effect of economic crisis,they worked hard but earned little.Life is very hard for them.Despite of this,their love to each other and the enthusiasm for life didnt changed at all.When Chrismas day was approuching ,Della used the money she got from selling her beautiful hair which she treasured very much to give Jim a fob for his grandfathers pocket watch.But Jim had already sold that watch to buy Della tortoiseshell combs to wear in her long hair,not knowing shed cut it off.

It appears that the gifts they gave each other have been useless.But I think they gave each other the best of what they had to make the other happy.Isnt that true love?We can image,in such rough conditions,as it said in the story,"Life is made up of sobs,sniffles,and smiles,with sniffles predominating."Itst absolute reasonable for them to be beaten by the misery.But the fact is that no matter how tough life had been,they wouldt lose heart.With strong faith and their love ,they did their best to make the other pleased."Whennever Mr.James came home and reached his flat ,above he was called Jimand greatly hugged by Mrs.James."Maybe this account is the best description of their love and struggle against hard life.It was said that the povertier life is ,the firmer and truer love is."Actually,theyd given the very best they had out of love.

"They are too foolish children in a flat,who most unwisely sacrificed for each other the greatest treasures of their house.But in a last word,to the wise of these days,let it be said that of all who give gifts these two were the wisest."Said the writer in the last paragraph.Yes,they are wisest.They are the magi.Are there any reasons for us not to show respect for the young couple?

I remind my grandparents.They have spent fifty years together.No romantic words,no stirring behaviours,just comman even pedestrian life.But I can say love exists in every detail of their life.They have gone through war period,three years natural disasters,cultural revolution and so on.But no matter what happens,they are always considering for the other.Even now both of them have become old step by step,they still cared about each other.My grandparents,in my opinion,is a pair of lovers forever.

Love has nothing to do with money,possession or status.Its consideration,tolerance and respect.Its giving ones best to the other even it means sacrifice.Its affection which connects two persons hearts,and its reinforced by adversities.

Struggle against adversities.Nothing did they have,at least they owened love.Never give up as long as love exists.From"The Gift of the Magi",from Jim and Della and from my grandparents,I have learned a lot about love,life and hope.

A Tale of Two Cities is one of Dickens’s masterpieces; the story is an exposure of the contradiction before France Revolution-the appealing of “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity” by France lower class.

The main clue of the novel is based on the terrible experience of Dr. Manette, the plot is very complex, attracting, and exciting. Lying at the heart of which we can see the themes from different people.

Sydney Carton

When I read the chapter pertaining to interrogation on Charles Darney, intuition tells that the lawyer assistant who feels at ease with his eyes fixed on the ceiling must be a very special man, which turned out to be right when I finished the whole book. He seems indifferent about everything, even his love. He is brilliant but he thinks otherwise, or rather, he thinks he is inferior to others. Even his master thinks that if he worried about this or that, he would make a great success. Feeling of humbleness is the fatal point leading the loss of his beloved one. If Lucie Manette lives with him, he thinks, she would sustain much hardship. At the end of the story, he sacrifices his life for his love willingly.

Many people say that love is selfish and egocentric, but the temperament of Sydney Carton tells us that love can be sublime and pure. Through this, Dickens tells us loving someone doesn’t mean you should live together with him or her. You can help your beloved one silently, even sacrifice for love. This is universal fraternity, I think, which is the sublimation of normal love. And also, Dickens may indicate that true love really exists, regardless of the situation is full of commotion or not.

Charles Darney

He’s born at a family of royal lineage-the son of Marquis. Regret and abomination fill in his mind for the cruelty and the crime his family have done to the poor. He determines to quit the right of inheritance of his family and moves to England to acting as a French teacher. When he comes back to France, his notorious and sadistic uncle who holds the succession of the family doesn’t welcome him. His uncle is doomed to death because of his cruelty. When he returns to England, he proposes marriage to Lucie Manette. He knows his proposal may not be accepted by Dr.Manette, for he is the son of the enemy of Dr.Manette. After the France Revolution breaks out, he returns to France again to save a servant. But unfortunately, he’s cast into prison.

Lucie Manette

She goes to France with Jarvis Lorry to take her father back, she shows great sympathy to Sydney Carton, and she prayed his husband would get an early deliverance from captivity.

She is a kind-hearted lady made of love and sympathy; she is also the incarnation of elegance.

Dr.Manette

As a victim of the gloom society, he lives a miserable and contradictory life. After releasing from prison, the only thing he does is making shoes, which become worse when he comes across a harsh situation. He loves his daughter just as she does to him, even when he knows that Charles Darney is the son of his enemy, he allow the proposal. And when he notices his daughter was totally down to know the fact that her husband was put into prison, he promise to her that he will rescue him out. He spares no effects to do that, in vain, though.

From this person, Dickens may tells that love between the lower-class family members are as pure as crystal.

Jarvis Lorry

An elderly manager at Tellsons Bank and a dear friend of Dr. Manette. He is very loyal to Dr. Manette. He accompanies them all the time without considering his own life.

Couple Defarge

They’re the leader of the revolution. Ernest Defarge, to some extent, is a good man. He was the servant of Dr.Manette, he provides accommodation for him. But his wife, Madame Defarge, is really a wicked woman. She knits all the time, she wants to kill all the people who lead a richer or happier life just out of envying and revenge. The result turns out to be dramatic: she’s killed by herself as a consequence that the gun goes off by accident.

Resurrection maybe is the main theme in the novel. Dickens here implied that he doesn’t agree the upper class treat the poor badly, meanwhile, he doesn’t agree the lower-class to overthrow the upper class. He hopes that they can live in harmony with each other. Underneath the lines, Dickens wants his readers to be careful that the same sort of revolution that so damaged France wont happen in Britain, which is shown to be nearly as unjust as France. But his warning is addressed not to the British lower classes, but to the aristocracy. He repeatedly uses the metaphor of sowing and reaping; if the aristocracy continues to plant the seeds of a revolution through behaving unjustly, they can be certain of harvesting that revolution in time. The lower classes do not have any agency in this metaphor: they simply react to the behavior of the aristocracy. In this sense it can be said that while Dickens sympathizes with the poor, he identifies with the rich: they are the books audience, its "us" rather than its "them". Crush humanity out of shape once more, under similar hammers, and it will twist itself into the same tortured forms. Sow the same seed of rapacious license and oppression over again and it will surely yield the same fruit according to its kind.

The Scarlet Letter attained an immediate and lasting success because it addressed spiritual and moral issues from a uniquely American standpoint. In 1850, adultery was an extremely risqué subject, but because Hawthorne had the support of the New England literary establishment, it passed easily into the realm of appropriate reading. It has been said that this work represents the height of Hawthornes literary genius; dense with terse descriptions. It remains relevant for its philosophical and psychological depth, and continues to be read as a classic tale on a universal theme.[6] Another consideration to note having to do with the books popularity is that it was one of the first mass-produced books in America. Into the mid-nineteenth century, bookbinders of home-grown literature typically hand-made their books and sold them in small quantities. The first mechanized printing of "The Scarlet Letter," 2,500 volumes, sold out immediately, was widely read and discussed to an extent not much experienced in the young country up until that time. Copies of the first edition are often sought by collectors as rare books, and may fetch up to around $6,000 USD.

I just finished reading the English "Annie diary. This is my first time to see the book. The first time I see in elementary school, English. At that time, still cant read, feel nothing. And now, it seems, has deep deep feeling.

Anne frank a jewish girl. She could and ordinary girl live a happy life, but her parents to be hiding in the attic. (www.lz13.cn)Little Annie all hide in the attic of dark, avoiding the Nazis killing. She couldnt close to nature, and friends to play like before. In the shadow of death, Annie only a diary to a torrid every day. For her diary as her friends, she can only rely on and talk to a friend. She is in her diary written a lot of racial discrimination, silent, more is to the outside world, to nature yearning, for life.

From her diary, I could imagine that she was helpless, fear, but more calm and calm. This is a great girl.

After reading the "Annie diary, my heart is very heavy. The Nazi racism, destroying much like Anne as innocent lovely child. War is abhorrent, it lets the human experience is destined unscathed.

Thanks to "Annie diary, let people see war, let people to think ugly, go for unfortunate people mourn.

Let history repeat, dont ever ask world peace.

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.

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.

Not long ago I just read the English version of "Diary of Anne Frank." In fact, this is not the first time I read this book. When I first read it in elementary school, and read the Chinese version. Then still small, still can not read, that means nothing. Now it seems there feeling very deeply.

Anne Frank was a Jewish girl. She could and ordinary girl, living a happy life, but she was not hiding different parents attic. Anne all day hiding in dark little attic to escape the Nazis killing. She could not get close to nature, can not be friends like before play. In the shadow of the shadow of death, Anne only keep a diary to get through tough every day. For her, the diary as her friends, her only friends can rely on and talk. She wrote in her diary a lot, there are silent on the racial discrimination complaint, more of the outside world, the natural yearning for thinking about life.

From her diary, I can imagine she was helpless, fear, but a more leisurely and calm. This is a great girl.

After reading the "Diary of Anne Frank", my heart is very heavy. Nazi racial discrimination, maiming and killing innocent pretty much the same as Annes children. War is always nasty, it makes human experience is a market catastrophe.

Thank you "Diary of Anne Frank" and let people see the ugliness of war, to get people to think about and condolences for the unfortunate people.

Do not like history repeating itself, pray for world peace forever.

不久前我刚看完了英文版的《安妮日记》。其实这不是我第一次看这本书了。第一次看的时候我才上小学，看的是中文版的。那时还小，还读不懂，觉得没什么意思。而现在看起来，却有很深很深的感触。

安妮 弗兰克是个犹太女孩。她本可以和普通女孩一样过着快乐的生活，但她却不得不同父母躲到阁楼里。小小的安妮整日躲在阴暗的阁楼里，躲避着纳粹的捕杀。她无法亲近自然，无法和朋友们像以前一样玩耍。在死亡阴影的笼罩下，安妮只有记日记来度过难熬的每一天。对于她来说，日记就像她的朋友，她唯一可以依赖和倾诉的朋友。她在她的日记里写下了很多，有对种族歧视的无声的控诉，更多的是对外面世界，对自然的向往，对人生的思考。

从她的日记中，我可以想像出她当时的无助，惶恐，但更有从容和镇定。这是一个了不起的女孩。

看完了《安妮日记》，我的内心很沉重。纳粹的种族歧视，残害了多少像安妮一样无辜可爱的孩子。战争从来都是可恶的，它让人类经历的是一场场劫难。

感谢《安妮日记》，让人们看到了战争的丑恶，让人们去思考，去为不幸的人们哀悼。

愿历史不要再重演，祈求世界永远和平。

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 ?

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?

——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.
