+ 加入清单Jane Eyre was published in 1847 under the androgynous pseudonym of "Currer Bell." The publication was followed by widespread success. Utilizing two literary traditions, the Bildungsroman and the Gothic novel, Jane Eyre is a powerful narrative with profound themes concerning genders, family, passion, and identity. It is unambiguously one of the most celebrated novels in British literature.
Born in 1816, Charlotte Bronte was the third daughter of Patrick Bronte, an ambitious and intelligent clergyman. According to Newsman, all the Bronte children were unusually precocious and almost ferociously intelligent, and their informal and unorthodox educations under their father’s tutelage nurtured these traits. Patrick Bronte shared his interests in literature with his children, toward whom he behaved as though they were his intellectual equals. The Bronte children read voraciously. Charlotte’s imagination was especially fired by the poetry of Byron, whose brooding heroes served as the prototypes for characters in the Bronte’s juvenile writings as well as for such figures as Mr. Rochester in Jane Eyre (2)。 Bronte’s formal education was limited and sporadic – ten months at the age of 8 at Cowan Bridge Clergy Daughters’ School (the model for Lowood Institution in Jane Eyre), eighteen months from the age of 14 at Roe Head School of Miss Margaret Wooler (the model for Ms. Temple) (Nestor 3-4)。 According to Newman, Bronte then worked as a teacher at Roe Head for three years before going to work as a governess. Seeking an alternative way of earning money, Charlotte Bronte went to Brussels in 1842 to study French and German at the Pensionnat Heger, preparing herself to open a school at the parsonage. She seems to have fallen in love with her charismatic teacher, Constantin Heger. The experience seems on a probable source for a recurrent feature in Bronte’s fiction: “relationships in which the inflammatory spark of intellectual energy ignites an erotic attraction between a woman and a more socially powerful man” (Newman 6)。 The Brontes’ efforts to establish a school at the parsonage never got off the ground. Still seeking ways to make money, Charlotte published, with her sisters, the unsuccessful Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell. Her first effort to publish a novel, The Professor, was also unsuccessful. Jane Eyre, published in October 1847, however, was met with great enthusiasm and became one of the best sellers. As “Currer Bell” Bronte completed two more novels, Shirley and Villette. She married Reverend William Bell Nicholls in 1854 and died nine months later, at the age of thirty-nine in 1855 (Nestor 4-5)。
The story of Jane Eyre takes place in northern England in the early to mid-19th Century. (“Jane Eyre” 151) It starts as the ten-year-old Jane, a plain but unyielding child, is excluded by her Aunt Reed from the domestic circle around the hearth and bullied by her handsome but unpleasant cousins. Under the suggestion of Mr. Lloyd, an apothecary that sympathizes Jane, Mrs. Reed sends Jane to Lowood Institution operated by a hypocritical Evangelicalist, Mr. Brocklehurst, who chastises Jane in front of the class and calls her a liar. At Lowood, Jane befriends with Helen Burns, who helps the newly arrived Jane adjust to the austere

篇1:《饥饿游戏》英语读后感
全文共 2781 字
+ 加入清单The Hunger Games, is written by Suzanne Collins. The central ruling city, named the capitol, holds the hunger games. Every year,the evil Capitol of the nation of Panem forces each of its twelve districts to send a teenage boy and girl to compete in the Hunger Games. The Hunger Games are just a nationally televised event in which Tributes must fight with one another until one survivor remains.
To my surprise, Katniss involved in the hunger games, replaces her sister to play. She moves forward with faith, and finally wins both love and the hunger games. By the way, Katniss and Peeta are the tributes from district 12. Finally, they survive to the end and return home.
In my opinion, the Hunger Games is written mainly against domination. In another word, the hunger games are the product of domination. From the growth of Katniss, I deeply impressed that she is not only minute but also representative and aspirant, for the Hunger Game is not only a game itself as a show, but also the game between the Capitol and other 12 districts. This is a game about domination and revolution. In the Hunger Games, there are many moving scenes. While peeta joins the tributes from the richer districts. However, when he has the opportunity to kill Katniss, he instead saves her from the others. But Rue skilled by another tribute, whom Katniss then kills, Katniss sings to Rue until she dies, which encourages the watching people to chase for freedom and be against domination.
Besides this, I also learn something about hope from the story. Katniss moves all the way forward with hope. She tells peeta in the arena,If we win, we will each get a house in the part of town reserved for Hunger Games’ victors。 She does not give up but does everything she can to increase the possibility of survival. As young adults, we should also have faith in our future. Ups and downs as we may face, none of them is challenging enough compared with the death threat Katniss encounters. Katniss never losed hope. Neither should we.
At the end of Hunger Games, when the couple remain last, the rule changes back. One must kill the other to win. Knowing that the gamemakers would rather have to victors than none, Katniss offer some highly poisonous berries to peeta. Realizing that Katniss and Peeta instead to commit suicide, the gamemakers announce that they both will be victors of the 74th Hunger Games. Katniss is very mature, brave and wise. She is a b role model for young girls with her character"s sacrifice, courage, moral grounding in a world that"s lost its own, and will to fight for what"s right, even if it means sacrificing her own life or sparking a revolution.
Although the reality is cruel for almost every character in the fiction, the positive side of humanity and love is always bright.

Mark Twains short story of "one million pounds" is a very good work. The article on the "money is everything," "money is omnipotent," the idea of a satire, to expose the ugly face of capitalist society.
"One million pounds" is about a poor, honest man, that is, the *** of this story has received a pair of brothers, the letter sent to him inside one million pounds. The brothers had made a bet, gambling, if a poor, honest people who come knocking on the door received the one million pounds, he will be what kind of results? Brother that he would starve to death because he could not prove that the money was his own, will be subject to other peoples doubts, and even the banks do not let him save money. His younger brother that he would lead a very good, and therefore they have the brothers of one million pounds will be loaned to check the poorest people, and spent 30 days abroad. Did not expect that during this period of time, people have the rare fortune suddenly rich, has tried to cozy up to him, from the free food, buy clothes, free accommodation, like a beggar, like to please him, and continue to improve his social status until the exception of the highest outdoor Wang Duke on! Not only that, he also has been a good wife and 30,000 pounds of bank interest, and finally from two brothers got a very good job. Lived a very, very happy life.
See here, I am so envious of the "lucky" ***, but at the same time I would like to: people reason to curry favor with him, not just because when people value money too it? Worship of money is shameful and should not be reaping more! Money is not omnipotent, the world than money, there are many more important things ... ...
马克吐温著的短篇小说《百万英镑》是一部很好的作品。文章对“金钱就是一切”“金钱是万能的”的想法进行了讽刺,揭穿了资本主义社会的丑恶面容。
《百万英镑》是讲一个贫穷、诚实的人,也就是这个故事的主人公收到了一对兄弟的信,信里面送给了他一百万英镑。原来这对兄弟打了一个赌,赌假如一个贫穷、诚实的人收到天上掉下的一百万英镑,他会有怎样的结果?哥哥以为他会饿死,因为他无法证明这些钱是他自己的,会受到别人的怀疑,连银行都不会让他存钱。弟弟则以为他会过得很好,于是他们兄弟俩将一百万英镑的支票借给了这个贫穷的人,并出国呆了三十天。没想到在这段时间内,人们对这位突然暴富的罕见富翁,竟拼命地拉拢他,从免费吃饭,买衣服,到免费住宿,一个个像乞丐一样讨好他,并不断提高他的社会地位,一直到了除王室外最高的公爵之上!期末总结不光如此,他还得到了一位好妻子和三万英镑的银行利息,最后还从两兄弟那儿得到了一份很好的工作。过着非常非常幸福的生活。
看到这儿,我很羡慕这位如此“幸运”的主人公,但同时我又想:人们之所以讨好他,不就是因为当时人们太看重金钱了吗?拜金主义是可耻的,不劳而获更不应该!金钱不是万能的,世界上还有很多比金钱更重要的东西……

The works show that the strong breath of nature, brave and adventurous romantic spirit, strong will and to "live" deeply attracted me, reading people excited: a western American prospectors friend cruel abandoned was on his way back, he walked alone in the vast on the moor.

However, in real life, some people lament, people complain that Life is but a dream. Born Under A Bad Sign, I do not intend to live, more people say life is painful and boring, even some people because a little small setbacks on the yield. Self abandonment, mediocrity in life.

I think this book is worthy to reading, it make us cherish our life.

《小妇人》中我最喜欢的人物是乔。因为她活泼开朗的性格,像劳里所说的一样“一分钟前掉眼泪,转眼又笑了!”不拘小节的她,会双手插进衣袋,吹起口哨,会穿红灰两色的划艇衣,再戴顶又破又旧的大帽子;她对姐妹们的嘲笑从不在乎,因为她非常爱自己的亲人,胜过爱自己。当妹妹贝思受理病痛折磨时,乔伤心地失声痛哭,令我感动:真是姐妹情深!

Investigate its likelihood is a persons tragedy, is the tragedy of the society as a whole, may not be important. Wine party smallpox, extravagant luxury residence, colorful gorgeous clothes, just for the sake of his heart love Daisy. Think first, young and beautiful, sketched a period of time; Flies away and alternative fate lane person, in the heart of love is someone elses confidante. The deep love, the injury the farthest, cut; Not reality, immersed in the beautiful dream, but blurred the forward field of vision. Weakness of gunfire, all the dreams and beautiful, vulnerable to burst, scattered in the wind, without trace.
Gatsby, his great, because he was the degree of potential energy, but because of his pursuit of the good feelings. He hasnt done anything wrong, but also had to the empty rooms. A dream, how to do, easy, but also how to away, difficult to achieve. In an age of people pursuit of material, to be backed by real emotions. Buckish, stained with money, odour, lost a condition is a pure heart. Leave a piece of pure land, at that time, doomed to oblivion the audacity of commitments.
Finally wrote: "we continue to strive to move forward, stream, after being constantly push, until the return to the days of the old one."
Heart can not help a Chu. Accustomed to another potential, accustomed to the intrigue, people, really happy? Blundering world, difficult times, disguise the Buddhism, purports to recall the mood like that is like water. This, is the only thing we can do?
"Day after day, excitement consumed by gradually." Reality, kill too much like real unreal image. Those beautiful like a castle in the air, and hollow crowd away already. In between dreams and reality, we go from here?
Gatsby is the choice of the former. Even if the cruel reality, fate, his image is still great; Pure love is hard to stop, right and wrong about his, also make them in a glorious situation across the sphere of a bygone era. Quietly away, few people look at the light. Through one hundred, is the ray of light, to the left a dark era deserves stay have story.
Even if you, in the reality, still mark a dream back without regrets. That is worth pity era, these moving words, bring us infinite daydream.
最近在读《了不起的盖茨比》,一个霸权建立破晓时分的故事。那是百余年前的北美大陆,经济发展的火车疾驶向前;机器的摩擦轰鸣,却也过多地掩饰了一时的人心。这本书,便是那段历史点滴的印记。
究其然是一个人的悲剧,还是整个社会的悲剧,也许并不重要。酒天花地的派对,奢靡豪华的住处,五彩绚丽的衣衫,只是为了他心中挚爱的黛茜。回想初见之时,年轻美丽,一段草样的年华;荏苒而逝,奈何命运弄人,心中的挚爱已然他人的红颜知己。爱得愈深,伤得愈切;不干现实,沉浸于夙愿的美好,却模糊了前行的视野。无力的枪声,所有的梦想与美好,不堪一击地破灭,散于风中,了无踪迹。
盖茨比,他了不起,因为他因时度势的魄力,更因为他追寻美好的情愫。他没有做错什么,却也只得这人去楼空。一个梦想,如何极尽,唾手可得,却也如何之远,难以达到。在人人追求物质的时代,真实的情感那般一触即溃。浮华众生,沾染了铜臭气味,失却了是一颗至真纯净的内心。不留一片净土,那个时代,注定要湮没无畏的追梦者。
文中最后一句写道:“我们继续奋力前行,逆水行舟,被不断地后推,直至回到往昔的那段岁月。”
心中不禁一搐。习惯了争权夺势,习惯了勾心斗角,人们,究竟幸福吗?浮躁的世界,寸步难行的时代,掩饰了流俗,口口声声追忆似水般的年华。这,难道就是我们唯一可以做的吗?
“日复一日,兴奋之情被渐渐吞噬。”现实,抹杀了太多如真似幻的意象。那些似空中楼阁一般的美好,与空洞的人群已然渐行渐远。在梦想与现实之间,我们该何去何从?
盖茨比的选择是前者。纵然现实残酷,命运无常,他的形象依然伟大;单纯的难以阻挡的爱,左右了他的是是非非,也使之以一种壮美的势态划过一个过往时代的苍穹。悄然而逝,少有人注视其光芒。穿越了百年,正是这缕光,给那个昏暗的时代留下了一个值得留忆的故事。
即使逆水行舟,在现实的洪流中,依然印记一个追梦无悔的背影。那个值得悲悯的时代,这些动人的文字,带给我们无限的遐想。
篇9:傲慢与偏见英语读后感
全文共 1374 字
+ 加入清单As is known to all, Pride and Prejudice which was written by a famous English female writer Jane Austen is still a classic in English literature nowadays. Jane Austen who was born and lived her whole life in England wrote six books in her life time.
Her novels all described the lifestyle and social communications of families in the countries of England as what she is familiar with. The book Pride and Prejudice is the typical one that fully expressed Jane’s view on marriage and emphasized that the benefit on economic exerts a great influence on marriage.
The characters in the novel all had their own opinions on marriage. Mrs. Bennet, for instance, has only one aim-that of finding a good match for each of her five daughters.
As for Elizabeth, who is the second daughter in the Bennet family said that only deep love would persuade her to marry which was why she would probably end up an old maid. Lydia and Charlotte, however, were two extremes. The former just married for sex, while the latter married for a comfortable home and protection.
There are just so many different characters that were all formed under the society of England in 18’s century. Then, there was filled with unfairness between men and women. Just as what Jane Austen said,”It is a truth universally knowledge, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife. ”

篇10:书虫系列英语读后感
全文共 680 字
+ 加入清单暑假期间有一部影片《哪吒之魔童降世》不断被刷新中国动画片的票房纪录,我们全家也禁不住诱惑跑到电影院一探究竟,看看它到底有多火。
先从动画片的主人公说起吧,哪吒被改头换面,打破了以往它在我们心目中可爱的造型,这个小哪吒脸上透露出一股邪恶,长着黑眼圈,走起路来手插裤兜吊儿郎当的,一副目中无人的坏模样。其实在影片中,他斩妖除魔、为民除害、保护弱小还是让我们心里暖暖的。这部电影有笑点也有泪点,描述的是天地孕育出两颗混元珠魔丸和灵丸,天师在魔丸上下了天劫咒,三年后便会死去。
身为魔丸的哪吒注定要是一个悲剧了,他拜太乙真人为师学法术,百姓们都称他为妖怪,见到他就躲起来,哪吒从小就没有朋友,很孤单。他也曾多次想为民除害,可是往往都是好心办了坏事,被老百姓们误解,李靖怕他再惹事生非,索性就把哪吒关了起来并严加看管。另一枚混元珠———灵珠就是敖丙,他也是哪吒唯一的朋友。敖丙被他的父王和师傅申公豹教唆去摧毁陈塘关,是哪吒阻止了这一切,他不但改变自己的命运也改变了整个陈塘关老百姓的命运。
影片的最后,天雷降临,那句:“去你个鸟命,我命由我不由天,是魔是仙我自己说了才算!”感动了在座的每一位,是啊,有些人因为命运的不公而选择轻生,或者,接受不了现实的人活不出任何光彩。但也有些人,对命运顽抗。比如谈迁,编写的《国榷》被小偷盗走,下落不明,这是他呕心沥血20多年才写出来的,不过谈迁不认命,不抱怨,马上从困境中走了出来,励志要重新撰写,最终著成了一篇更精彩的《国榷》。我们就要学习这种精神,不向命运低头,不服输,不认输。
你问我命是什么,我不知道,但我知道不认命,就是哪吒的命。
篇11:《格列佛游记》英语读后感
全文共 4611 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.”
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!”

篇14:寂静的春天英语读后感作文
全文共 5863 字
+ 加入清单There was a strange stillness. The birds, for examplewhere had they gone? The feeding stations in the backyards were deserted. The few birds seen anywhere were moribund; they trembled violently and could not fly. It was spring without voices. On the farms the hens brooded, but no chicks hatched. The roadsides, once so attractive, were now lined with browned and withered vegetation as though swept by fire. These, too, were silent, deserted by all living things. Even the streams were now lifeless.
This is a strange scene described by Rachel Carson, who is regarded as the mother of modern environmental protection movement。 Silent Spring is her representative work which lighted the fire of environmental protection in America and the whole world. Before 1960s, no books or magazines talked about things like environment and ecosystem. Such a phenomenon means that environmental protection had not come to people’s mind and the social consciousness. Indeed, the main opinion in human society from the very past about nature is to set war against or conquer it. In fact, many of human’s progresses are made on the base of such opinion. Rachel Carson was the first person who doubted the correctness of the belief and brought the topic under focus.
In Silent Spring, Carson described a miserable village which was dying under the using of DDT. The village used to be prosperous and beautiful. In spring, white clouds of bloom drifted above the green fields. In autumn, oak and maple and birch set up a blaze of color that flamed and flickered across a backdrop of pines. Then foxed barked in the hills and deer silently crossed the fields, half hidden in the mists of the fall mornings. She thought that with the using of variety kinds of pesticide, especially DDTs, the village suffered enormous and irreversible damage and gradually withered and died. Soon it became just like the one described in the beginning. From her fine and smooth describing, I can even feel the groan of the town. Moreover Carson also sharply pointed out that the deep-seated cause for the environmental problem is the human’s arrogance and ignorance. So she asked people to correct the attitude toward the nature and reconsidered the developing path of human being.
Carson thought that because of the antibody and differentiation, pesticides would never be completely useful. On the contrary, those more and more poisonous medicines, because of the enrichment effect, would accumulate in humans’ body. It’s quite sarcastic that we hurt ourselves much badly while hurting the others. Then she analyzed many poisonous components in pesticides. Those are all unfamiliar names except DDT, such as chlordane, chloronaphthalene, compound 497, etc.
Those things really make me feel scared. We are on the top of the food chain, and it is such a perfect and fragile system. We human beings are just part of it and we depend on all of the creatures who stay on the lower positions. It is so hard and ridiculous to try to match the nature. Only in the state does man have a rational existence. Every species have their value to be on this world. Then no one knows what would happened if we force them to disappear. For example, let’s imagine the food chain as a meticulously made castle built by billions of little blocks and we human beings are the top one. There might be several tiny blocks on the bottom which you think is useless and dispensable. But what would happen if we take them away? Perhaps nothing happened, and perhaps the whole castle ruined.
Destruction is always much easier than recovery, not counting those incurable ones. Humans always think that we are much cleverer than the other animals, so we become more and more conceited and firmly believe that we are the king. We didn’t see that the nature is so magical and knows how to revenge. The pay back is much more violent and cruel. We need balance and order. The nature has its own rule. Our aim is to use it and live in harmony with it. The ecosystem is so delicate that even a tiny disturbance could lead an unexpected consequence, just like the butterfly effect.
At the last chapter, some scientists came up with other ways to solve the pest problem----biotic control. There is now a bly running tide of interest in chemical sterility. Those sterile insects are released and mate the normal ones so that they won’t have any larva and get extinct gradually. This solution seems to be reasonable and helpful, but thinking about it carefully, you’ll find that it is just another way to ruin the food chain castle. Not only spring, but also summer and autumn would be still and silent in the future.
It is lucky that Rachel still kept her mind clear. She didn’t agree with the way of conquering the nature. At the very end of the book, she wrote, The ‘control of nature’ is a phrase conceived in arrogance, born of the Neanderthal age of biology and philosophy, when it was supposed that nature exists for the convenience of man. This sentence can be regarded as the book’s theme topic which is widely quoted in all kinds of articles about environmental protection.
Carson is a great woman and fighter. When writing the book, she was suffering from huge pain of the operation for mammary cancer. After the book was published, the widely affect brought her not honor and fortune, but fierce attack from the chemical estate. She died only one year after the book’s publishing. On the spring of 1964, the great woman passed away, but Silent Spring made her voice never silent.
The 20st century was a time that technology and economy developed rapidly, especially the 40 years after Silent Spring was published. But every spring, when flowers bloom, trees sprout, and water begins to flow, we used to recall a woman and her enduring works. We opened the window, and wonder if the spring is silent today, if it will be silent tomorrow.

+ 加入清单Little Women
Before I read this book, I had watched a cartoon movie made by Japan. So I have a strong interest on it.
It all begins in the dead of winter; The Christmas Season. The coldest one of all, were the war has made fuel for heating very scarce. While her husband is off at war, Marmee is left alone to raise their four daughters: Jo, Meg, Beth, and Amy.
On Christmas Eve, Marmee has just arrived home from passing out food to the less fortunate with a letter from her husband, the girls father. The all gather together around the fire to read the letter. Afterwards, the girls are teary eyed. Marmee kisses them and they are off to bed.
Jo is longing to become a writer. So, every night she stays up late writing the script for soap operas. As morning comes she is the last one awake. The table is set, and food prepared for their Christmas feast.
As dusk falls, the girls are all up in the attic acting out Jos play, which she reads from the local (fake) newspaper. As they are performing, their rich, next-door neighbors grandson watches from the window.
The 2 oldest girls: Jo and Meg, get ready to attend the Christmas Ball. While Jo is curling Megs hair, there is a strange smell to the air. Amy screams, Megs hair is being singed. They continue digging through the old clothes bin for a pair of white gloves.
One of the prominent themes in Little Women is the coming of age or maturation of the girls. During the course of the novel we see them grow in many ways -- physically, intellectually, and especially emotionally. One question which readers must ask themselves is whether the views the characters have on the coming of age process are shared by Alcott. If they arent, what are Alcotts views and how do they differ from those of the women in her story?
It is interesting to examine the last half of Chapter 20, "Confidential." Jo addresses the maturation issue as she speaks with Marmee of the situation between Meg and Mr. Brooke. The possible love between these two represents one of the very important aspects in coming of age for a teenage girl. Jo treats this natural process as if it were some sort of disease, however. Jo cannot understand why Meg would want to stop behaving "like a sensible creature" (p.202), and refers to love as "such nonsense."

+ 加入清单《摆渡人》是刚读完的一本英国小说。
内容讲述,一个父母离异性格内向的小女孩,独自一人坐火车去见自己的父亲,火车在通过一个隧道时失事,小女孩醒来时发现自己是这场事故的唯一幸存者。她走出隧道口,和远山坡上一直望着她的小男孩一起跨越这个荒原。
事实上,小女孩是这场事故唯一的遇难者,和小男孩相遇的是她的灵魂。
小男孩就是灵魂的摆渡者,将刚刚去世的人的灵魂从荒原摆渡到另一个世界,否则逝者的灵魂将被荒原上的魔鬼吃掉从而进入地狱加入魔鬼的群体。
故事情节颇惊心动魄,在跨越荒原的日子里,小男孩一直保护小女孩两人相依为命,产生了爱情。当小女孩跨越荒原成功摆渡到另一个世界时,因留恋小男孩而找到了回到荒原的办法再次与其相见。
当然,结局也没有让读者失望,二人一起从荒原逆行回到了人间,达到了圆满。
这个故事听起来似乎和平常我们看过的穿越剧,灵异电影相似。但当你仔细品读时,字里行间透露出我们对自己人生态度的思考。
对于死亡 :
若人死了真有灵魂的摆渡者,那么死亡或许没那么可怕,只是离开了一个现实宇宙能看见的世界到达另一个颠沛流离的世界罢了,在那里有逝去的亲人,活着的人早晚有一天也会到来,死亡只是一个空间的跨越罢了。
曾经我读过一篇文章,是一个年岁很大的老者写的,他说若万事抱着一颗好奇的心去对待,或许就能消除恐惧。有人问老者害怕死亡吗?他说曾经很怕,因为他难以想象一个人走在死亡边缘那一刻什么感受。后来他不怕了,他很好奇那一刻的到来,他会是实践者,他要知道答案。
在我的读书生涯里,也有同学的父亲或母亲离世了,伤痛的他们我们无从安慰。一个人在接受亲人的离开时会有种崩溃的感觉。若他们能将亲人的离开看做是空间的跨越,或许心灵的伤痛会有所减轻。
以前在书上看到过这样一句话,我们每个人都来自墙上的一幅画中,只是从静态的平面跨越到动态的立体空间,如果有的人离开了,TA只是回到了那副画里而已。 当我看到这句话的时候,突然觉得特别轻松,因为那一刻开始我觉得世界没有可怕的事情,一切都是我们的心态所为,如果连死亡都不怕了,世界还有更可怕的事情吗?
看过一个访谈节目,专家说这世界有太多永远解不开的秘密。比如,人死了到底有没有灵魂,到底有没有另一个世界的存在,这没有人能亲自实践过再回头告诉世人答案。所以,大可像那位老者一样保持好奇心,亦或相信还有另一个世界的存在。
对于执念:
每个人都是自己心灵的摆渡人,善恶都由自己摆渡,你选择做什么性质的人,行动和意念的支配都由你。消极的情绪,萎靡的状态,自私,凶恶,冲动,没自信等等负面的标签你可以往身上贴,最后形成一个糟糕的人这也是你自己造成的。我们有权摆渡自己的心灵,完美自信,积极向上,友善,宽容,高情商做到这些并不难,关键看你对生活的态度,你执念于什么,你将得到什么。
摆渡人的方向很广,你想要将自己的心灵摆渡到哪个河岸,你要做一个什么样的人,由你决定。

周末读了《金银岛》这本书,让我深有感悟。
《金银岛》讲的是一个关于寻宝的故事。一个叫弗林特的海盗船长在金银岛上买了价值70万英镑的宝藏,故事的主人公吉姆偶然得到了一个藏宝图,和一些人一起寻宝。寻宝者和海盗展开了一场生死搏斗,最后,寻宝者终于找到了宝藏。
我最喜欢故事中的吉姆,他聪明机智而且很勇敢,比如说,在他们登上金银岛后,和海盗交战,有一天,吉姆出了他们的营地,到晚上,他却闯入了海盗的营地,海盗头子因为很喜欢吉姆所以没有杀他,想让他加入海盗,他却临危不乱,坚决不加入海盗。他的这一点让我非常敬佩。还有,当帆船被海盗占领,吉姆又把船的锚索隔断,让船随风摇晃,把海盗晃晕,海盗们被晃了一夜,加上喝了酒,第二天船就被吉姆抢了回来。
在书中,还有一个人让我印象深刻,他就是西尔弗。西尔弗表面上看起来举止文雅,像一个绅士,但是,他却是杀人不眨眼的海盗头子。他在船上担任厨师,平时对船上的人就像是亲人一样,但是,在他召集了一帮海盗,到岛上寻宝时,却翻脸不认人,和吉姆他们打的你死我活。
在我们的生活中,也处处有着像西尔弗这样的“伪君子”,我们要识破他们的伪装,不被伪装所蒙骗。

The Old Man and the Sea is one of Hemingways most enduring works and may very well become one of the true classics of this generation. It played a great part in his winning the Pulizer Prize in 1953 and the 1954 Novel Prize for Literature and confirmed his power and presence in the literary world. Hemingway is also one of my favorite writers. Besides The Old Man And the Sea, I have read some of his other works, such as The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms and The Snow of Kilimanijaro. But The Old Man and the Sea is the one that left the deepest impression on me.
