篇1:红楼梦中学生读后感800字
全文共 435 字
+ 加入清单妈妈给我买了一套四大名著,暑假里,我读了四大名著之一《红楼梦》,通过阅读,感觉四大名著不愧是中国古典文学的一座瑰宝。它代表了古典文学创作的最高成就。
《红楼梦》的作者曹雪芹的家史和《红楼梦》中所写的贾家一样,是个“钟鸣鼎食”之家,曹雪芹身经荣华富贵到贫困潦倒的起落悲欢,促使他对社会和人生有着清醒透彻的理解。
本书中讲述了从小体弱多病的林黛玉因为家庭原因投奔来贾府,与贾宝玉一见钟情,本来是一段完美的姻缘,却又因为王熙凤从中使计,让贾宝玉娶了薛宝钗,以至林黛玉吐血身亡,贾宝玉心灰意冷,看破红尘,出家为僧。看到此处,我为他们感到痛心
曹雪芹从真实出发,通过《红楼梦》把贾家在当时政治上的衰落,道德上的腐败,经济上的崩溃一一展现出来,它预示了旧制度必将走向没落的趋势。
在书中我看到,曹雪芹通过刻画贾宝玉、林黛玉、薛宝钗、王熙凤等形象,写出人物的真实性,复杂性,每个人物活灵活现,有血有肉,且都有着鲜明的个性。
我非常喜欢《红楼梦》这本书,它使我对中国的古典文学作品有了更深的理解。
篇2:父与子读后感小学作文200字
全文共 201 字
+ 加入清单昨天晚上我看了《父与子》这本漫画非常搞笑,讲的是一对父子在生活里好玩的事情。
我最喜欢的一篇是《痛苦的自责》它画的是儿子缠着爸爸给他买玩具,爸爸不同意,但儿子再三恳求爸爸,最后爸爸就勉强的答应了,等儿子走后,爸爸就站在镜子前自己打了自己。
我想起我小时候和爸爸也是这样的,我也是让爸爸给我买玩具,爸爸总是经不住我的哭闹,买玩具给我,然后他也后悔太惯我。
这本书给我留下了很多我和爸爸的回忆,我非常喜欢这本书。
篇3:《假如给我三天光明》读后感300字

+ 加入清单爸爸在给我买回《假如给我三天光明》的时候,爸爸用红领巾蒙住了我的眼睛,让我在屋里走几步,我说,什么也看不到怎么走啊 。爸爸给我摘下红领巾对我说,你们马老师推荐的这本书,就是一个眼睛看不见,耳朵听不见的人写的,你好好读读吧。
在我看来,眼睛看不见,耳朵听不见,没法学习啊,还怎么写书呢。带着好奇与不相信,我很快的读完了这本书。我看到了海伦.凯勒姐姐的奇迹。她出生19个月就因为生病而失去了视力和听力,但是她并没有因此而失去生活的勇气,她用触觉练习说话,把手放在老师的脸上去感觉发音时舌头与嘴唇的变化,从说出第一句话“天气很暖和”开始,她学会了5种语言,这简直就是不可思议的奇迹。这里面既有她自己的毅力也有老师的耐心。我感觉,自己作为一个身体健康,眼睛明亮,听力也很好,老师也细心负责的教育我们,我们是不是应该做的更好呢。
我们要勇敢的去面对困难,更要去关心我们身边的残疾人,你也可以蒙住眼睛,堵住耳朵去感受一下海伦.凯勒姐姐的世界。

篇7:《卖火柴的小女孩》读后感小学作文

+ 加入清单今天我读了《买火柴的小女孩》这篇文章,主要讲了有一个小女孩在雪地上边走边喊:“卖火柴啦。”可是没有人理她。她太冷了!于是,他就躲在墙角,点亮了一根火柴取暖,一阵风吹来,火苗就熄灭了,他又饿又冷,点了好几根,她仿佛看见了她的奶奶,小女孩非常激动,一根接一根的把火柴点亮,紧接着,她扑到了奶奶的怀里,说:“奶奶请把我带吧,我知道火柴已熄灭后您就不见了。”于是奶奶把她带上了天堂,火柴熄灭了,小女孩幸福的闭上了眼睛。

篇8:《科学哲理故事》读后感
全文共 552 字
+ 加入清单马克思曾有过这样一句话:在科学上没有平坦的大道,只有不畏艰险沿着陡峭山路攀岩的人,才能希望达到光辉的顶点。
这本书中讲了许多伟大科学家的实验时发现的哲理。例如:我们要学习爱因斯坦善于思考、珍惜时间、生活简朴的精神。正如鲁迅先生所说:"节约时间等于延长一个人的生活。"爱因斯坦的事迹不正是一个很好的说明吗?他在有限的生命中做出了巨大的贡献,难道不是珍惜时间,善于思考的结果呈?
其中有一个故事让我受益匪浅,开学第一天,大哲学家苏格拉底对我们提了一个要求:"每上人将胳膊向前甩,每天做300下。"一个月后,当苏格拉底问有些人做到时,有90%的人做到了,一个月又一个月,当苏格拉底再问时,只有30%的人在坚持。一年后,只有一个人仍在继续,这个人就是后来的另一位大哲学家柏拉图。
我不禁脸红了,平时英语老师天天都催促我的要读20分钟英语,可是我只坚持了几天就罢工了。看了这个故事后,我决定我一定要坚持下去!我行,我能行,我一定能行!
坚持是一种素质,是与自我斗争的能力,与懒惰、厌倦,畏惧做斗争的能力。在现在这种不有硝烟的竞争生活中,更多的竞争对手都是与自我斗争。所以,才会有"胜者为王"之说,所以笑要笑到最后,提前退场者叫做自动放弃,坚持到最后的人叫做成功者。
生在现代的我们要学会像古人那样坚持,要学会不抛弃,不放弃!
篇9:《三国演义》读后感小学作文200字
全文共 277 字
+ 加入清单最近我又读了一遍《三国演义》,对里面的人物有了更深刻的了解,故事也是吸引人的。
这本书主要讲了刘备,关羽,张飞建立了蜀国。刘备的仁慈令我感动,张飞的勇猛使我仿佛在战场上围观一样,关羽是我最喜欢的人物之一,他过五关斩六将,要是我的话可能没几下就要命归西天。蜀国的军事诸葛亮可是立了大功,他足智多谋,只要有他在蜀军一定能胜利。另外曹操代表魏国,孙权代表吴国。主要就是说这三个国发生的战争。最后被晋国统一。
读了这本书后给我的感受是:如果想要打败一个强者必须要有高超的武艺,想要打败对手的军队必须要有策略,抓住敌人的要害再下手,冲动是魔鬼,冲动的人永远做不成大事。
篇10:《茶花女》大学生读后感_茶花女读书笔记
全文共 824 字
+ 加入清单我是一个不太喜欢看书的人。
我特别不喜欢看那些不知名的小说。
如果在有时间的情况下我就偶尔对文学作品感兴趣。
记得在读高二的时候,那天我和几个同学去图书馆借书看。
我在那浩瀚的书海里转了一圈却不知道自己喜欢看什么书?后来我去问那图书管理老师问她有什么书好看的?她看看我问我想看什么书?我说我喜欢看悲剧。
然后她就给我拿了一本书就是《茶花女》。
当时我看看这本书的封面心里想:这本书好看吗?。
再想想:既然是老师介绍的就借回去看看吧.。
当时我把书借回来的时候我一直不看,把它放在书桌最难找的地方。
因为我当时好像对这本书没有一点兴趣。
有一天上自习课,我无聊的很啊。
想玩手机可恶的手机没电了,想写写情书可又不知道写给谁?想着那天从图书馆借回来的那本书就拿出来看看。
让我想不到的是:原来对这本书一点都不感兴趣的我在五分钟的略读中这本书的故事深深迷住了。
从那天起不管上哪个老师的课我都在看《茶花女》直到把这本书看完。
这是一本法国作品。
法国本来就是一个浪漫的国家。
我喜欢这本书里的男女主角。
他(她)们的爱情故事触动了我身上的每一条神经。
以前看这本书的时候没有什么太多的感想,只是被它的故事情节感动罢了。
现在再从看的时候就有如此多的感想............
想想如今又有多人为那些身不由己的人感到同情呢?如今社会有些人为了金钱为了满足个人的欲望而去逼良为娼去贩卖人口专做违反国家法律的事。
把自己的快乐强加在别人的痛苦之上。
读完这本书我为茶花女的爱情故事感到可悲,我为他(她)们的遭遇感到同情。
我为当时的社会制度感到可笑,我为那些为了满足自己欲望把自己的快乐强加在别人身上的他们感到可耻。
让我想起了这两句古诗:人生自古谁无死,留取丹心照汗清。
人古有一死,或死重于泰山,或死轻于鸿毛。
到了爱的尽头茶花女死了,但她的灵魂还活着她那纯洁的心灵还活着。
即使有再多的感想也罢了。
其实在为茶花女的同情里我最想感谢的就是小仲马。
因为小仲马写了一本这样的文学作品给我的人生上了非常深刻的一课。

全文共 1173 字
+ 加入清单At the beginning of this century, many new writers emerged with the introduction of many new ideas. Among them, Jack London was the most popular one.
His most famous novel is the call of the wild . Although it is a story about a dog, Buck, it vividly depicts the life in the primitive North where people rushed for gold and fortune.
Buck, used to belong to a judge, was kidnapped and sold to North. Then he became a member of a dog-team pulling a sled . In the days of pulling a snow-sled, he learned to conform to the law of nature and obey the master. Finally, he found a basic instinct hidden inside him, which enabled himself to survive the tough environment. This is the call of the wild.
When you read the story, you will feel that Buck is a man instead of a dog, struggling with his fortune and conforming to the law of nature.

While writing for only 16 years throughout his life, London produced an amazing body of work among which, White Fang, Martin Eden, the Valley of the Moon are representative.
篇14:《水浒传》读后感300字
全文共 411 字
+ 加入清单暑假里,我阅读了《水浒传》这本名著。这本书把人物刻画得淋漓尽致,各个英雄个性鲜明。这本书主要讲了宋代农民起义、发展和失败的全过程,揭露了封建社会的黑暗和腐朽,及统治阶级的罪恶。
在水浒传中,我印象最深的人是“智多星”吴用。吴用为晁盖献计,智取生辰纲,用药酒麻倒了“青面兽”杨志,夺了梁中书送给蔡太师庆贺生辰的金银珠宝;宋江在浔阳楼念反诗被捉,和戴宗—起被押赴刑场,快行斩时,吴用用计劫了法场,救了宋江……他的聪明才智很让我佩服。
我最喜欢的英雄人物是武松。武松为兄报仇杀死了西门庆,就被发送了孟州充军,又结识了张青和孙二娘。但是这些都不够精彩,唯独武松打虎最为精彩。武松打虎这个故事家喻户晓。武松在景阳冈下“三碗不过岗”酒店喝了十八碗酒后过冈,后来路遇老虎,武松后来竟然赤手空拳打死了老虎,太让人吃惊了。
《水浒传》很耐读,百看不厌,它不仅是农民起义的壮丽史诗,而且是中国古代英雄传奇的光辉典范。它以辉煌的艺术成就彪炳文学史册。
篇15:喜福会英语读后感_5300字
全文共 5246 字
+ 加入清单The first time I saw the title of the film, the Joy Luck Club, I thought that it would be a film filed with joy, luck and happiness. However, out of my expectation, in the film, I saw many unpleasant thingsconflicts, hardship, disappointment, sorrow, hurt, torture etc. Of course there were some moving parts, and fortunately, it was a happy ending. Anyway, I enjoyed it very much. It made me have a penetrating thinking.
The Joy Luck Club tells about the conflicts between Chinese immigrant mothers and their American-raised daughters and their struggling to understand each other. The film shows us these topics: the misunderstanding of love between the mothers and the daughters, the clash between the generations and cultures, and the struggle for the women to fight for equity. Now I am going to show you my understanding of them, emphasizing on the first topic.
In many cases, we and those we love are easy to hurt each other because of the misunderstanding of love, the conflicts in generations and culture background, or unconsciousness.
Take Jingmei and her mother Suyuan as an example. When Suyuan demands the little Jingmei to play piano, Jingmei shouts to her mother, You can’t make me! Even Jingmei cried that she wish she isn’t Suyuan’s daughter and Suyuan isn’t her mother, and that she wishes she were the dead like the babies Suyuan abandoned in China. The sad expression on Suyuan’s face indicates that she is hurt deeply by her daughter’s innocent words.
This reminds me of my similar experience. Once I hurt my mother as Jingmei did. I didn’t mean to hurt her, but those wounding words just slip out of my mouth unconsciously. Often, we hate that why our parents don’t know my feelings, why they like to make us be something and totally unaware that what their children are. While the parents don’t know why all their sacrifices to the children can’t be paid off, even incite hatred. Actually, this is the generation gap that causes the misunderstanding. We don’t know the hardship our parents underwent before. They can’t understand what we are thinking. So misunderstandings appear.
Maybe as a child, Jingmei cannot comprehend what her remarks mean to Suyuan, and just want to show her grudge. But another main reason is the different backgrounds of Suyuan and Jingmei bare. Chinese parents always like to put all their hopes on the next generation for they are the generation full with hardship and pain. All they do just want the children to be better, but they ignore that whether their children can accept or not, not along a child born in America, influenced by the American’s individual freedom and knowing little about Chinese culture. The generation gap and culture conflict cause the misunderstanding of the mother and the daughter.
The other example is Waverly and her mother Lindo. Waverly tries her best to please Lindo in everything. Whether her mother approves or not becomes the master of all her choice. Even Waverly marries a Chinese man because Lindo likes Chinese, while she doesn’t love. Waverly doesn’t understand why Lindo disapprove or criticize whatever she has done. On the other side, Lindo thinks that her daughter is ashamed of her, which is her continual internal injury after Waverly’s winning that chess contest, when Waverly shouted to Lindo if Lindo wanted to show off, won the chest by herself. Every time, Lindo’s disagreement with or indifference to Waverly directly results from the thought that Waverly feels it shameful to be her daughter. Both of them deeply love each other, but in the meantime, they hostile and hurt one another. This is the way them get along with each other. Fortunately, they clear up their misunderstandings and discover themselves by communicating.
I am deeply moved by this scene:
Waverly Jong says to Lindo, sobbing,, You don"t know, you don"t know the power you have over me. One word from you, one look, and I"m four years old again, crying myself to sleep, because nothing I do can ever, ever please you. And after a short period of silence, Lindo smiles to Waverly with tears in her eyes, Now, you make me happy. Then they laugh heartily, teary-eyed with happiness.
Seeing the old Lindo bursts out laughing, like a child, and Waverly laughs joyfully, I sincerely feel delighted for them. Love needs communicating, understanding, and tolerance, which is what I learn from them.
Along with above mentioned, the struggle for the women to fight for equity is also brought to the surface. For instance, Ying-ying encourages her daughter Lena to escape an unhappy marriage, not repeating the same mistakes she made in her first marriage. And An-mei tells her daughter Rose to learn to shout at the unfair fate, and express her own will because Rose has lost herself in her marriage. These two cases reveal that the women begin to release themselves from the restrains of being oppressed by the men and the old-fashioned thoughts as well as some Chinese traditional characters. Eventually, the women find their true value and win their own happiness.
View from the whole film, the title, the Joy Luck Club may just be the old generation’s hope of better life for the next generation. On the whole, this is a movie made specifically for women. It is worth our appreciation.
篇16:《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17:茶花女英文读后感
全文共 4527 字
+ 加入清单Book Review: “Camille”
I read the Chinese version of “Camille” a few years ago. At that time I was deeply moved by the main character Marguerite Gautier. “Camille” or “The Lady of the Camellias” by Alexandre Dumas, fils, is the story of Marguerite Gautier, a young courtesan, or kept woman, in Paris in the mid 1800s, and how she falls in love with a young man, Armand Duval, and then tries to escape from her questionable past. Unfortunately, it comes back to haunt her and she ends up returning to that life and dies painfully and alone, but with the knowledge that she was a noble woman at heart. When I first began to read the book, I did not care for Marguerite or her attitude or lifestyle, but as I got further into the narrative, I realized that her saucy attitude was a front to cover the lonely woman that she really was. She felt used, abused and unloved, until the gentle Armand Duval came into her life and showed her that he loved her as a person and not for what she could do for him. It must have taken great courage for Marguerite to leave the life she had lived for so long, knowing all along that it was probably too good to be true and would not last indefinitely. And it also showed that Marguerite really loved Armand Duval for she could even change herself for him.
However, happiness didn’t last for long. When M. Duval, Armands father, came to her, pleading for her to leave Armand to save both Armands reputation and that of his younger innocent sister, Marguerite saw a way to become pure of heart, if not in body. She felt that it was her duty, because she loved Armand so much, to do this even though it meant giving up her own happiness and hurting Armand temporarily. She reluctantly returned to her former life, knowing that some day Armand would forgive her. Sadly, she died in debt and basically alone, except for her one female friend, Julie Duprat, who helped her during her illness. She had her journal sent to Armand after her death, explaining why she had made the choices she had. I think Dumass last few lines about Marguerite being the exception, not the rule were quite true, and I also agreed with his view that while her lifestyle could not be condoned, we as a society assume that all of these type of women are cold and heartless, while this may not always be the case. A person can make the wrong choices in life when they are young, and try to redeem themselves, but sometimes past situations prevent them from changing their lives, even though they desperately wish to do so. This applies to both men and women in many different types of circumstances: involvement in crime; drug or alcohol abuse; gambling; prostitution; financial problems; poor marriage choices; etc. And this is the fact, which exists in the whole society.
As far as the other characters in the book, I think Marguerite was right in saying that no one truly cared about her, but only wanted something from her, the only exceptions being Armand and Julie Duprat. Of course, the Comte de G. and Comte de N. wanted her body and appearance. The Duke needed to “wake up and smell the coffee” and realize that she could never replace his dead daughter. If he truly cared, he could have helped her leave her lifestyle without “keeping” her himself. And lastly, Prudence was a blood-sucking leech who used Marguerite almost worse than the men. I also think she was jealous of the fact that Marguerite had so much more courage than herself and someone truly loved her.
Last morning, when tiding my bookshelf, I took this book out of the shelf, and a dried flower flew away from the book. It was pale blue, very transparent, with thin fine veins. a dried flower flew away from the book. It was pale blue, very transparent, with thin fine veins. I held it against the morning light and blew on it. The soft breeze carried it away. Camille is just like the camellia, she could never escape from the destiny of withering. But it wasn’t her fault; it’s because of the evil of Capitalism and the hideousness of that society.
Suddenly, I remembered a saying: “Women are like the flowers”. Those pretty women are like those beautiful flowers; their delicate beauty makes people feel they are the miracle of life. However, even the God envies their beauty. It seems that beautiful women always have tragic endings. As we are normal persons, even we can see the hideousness of humanity that results in their fate of withering, we can at most ask quietly in our hearts: Where have those beautiful flowers gone? Where have they gone?

篇19:虎妈战歌英语读后感
全文共 3624 字
+ 加入清单I have recently read Battle Hymn of Tiger Mother published by The Penguin Press in 2011. This autobiography was written by the Chinese American woman Amy Chua, a tenured professor in Yale Law School. She causes a sensation because her strict but unique parenting which brings excellent performance of her two daughters.
This autobiography tells the course of Amy Chua how she raised the two daughters in Chinese parenting way. It is divided into three parts. At the first part, it gives some introductions of the two daughters, the family. And in the second and third parts, the writer tells more details in the process of raising her two different daughters and the difficulties she was confronted in the process, and most importantly the success the daughters achieved in music which brought Amy Chua pride as well as the whole family.
To some extent, I don’t like Amy’s parenting in some aspects. In my opinion, she deprived the nature of children and pushed too much pressure on their children, especially on Lulu who was under the shadow of her excellent elder daughter—Sophia. While I was reading the third part in the rebellion part, I couldn’t control my own emotion, I felt what Lulu felt and even hated against her selfish and autocratic mother. I couldn’t understand why Amy didn’t let Lulu get up from sit, for water, not even to go to the bathroom when Lulu just wanted a rest during the long hours’ practice of violin. She made Lulu practice violin all day during the family’s vacation abroad. She spoiled the vacation by letting the other family members waiting the practice. She was unreasonable.
But next what I do is to admire her.
There is an old Chinese saying “property can never last for three generations”。 But Amy Chua did change it! Her parents came to U.S and suffered a tough life at the very beginning. They taught Amy math and piano in an extreme strict way when she was a kid. Under the influence of her parents, now Amy is frugal and pretty strict with her daughters and herself. They are the valuable points of her. Although she is so extreme on her parenting, she has the advisable ideas that the parents and the parents to be to learn.
Firstly, as parents, they couldn’t ignore their children and put all focus on their job. There is no excuse for not concerning their children. Except supervising her daughters, Amy Chua has to give lessons in university, write books and handle the family chores. She is so busy, but she doesn’t ignore the daughters.
Secondly, parents should be strict with their children especially when they are kids because kids lack of self-control. They should not indulge their children in internet or sleepovers.
Thirdly, parents should master some skills in parenting. As a matter of fact, there are so many Chinese parents who are strict with their children with no avail of success. Success can’t be totally copied, because some parents ignore the skills in parenting. When their children don’t follow their will or perform well enough to satisfy them, they will lose their temper and even beat their children, yes, of course, Amy Chua will be mad but she won’t beat her daughters, in this condition, she will be sober and wait until her daughters perform well enough. She learnt some music knowledge in her children’s class and supervised them patiently. She knew where to correct the mistakes and gave the children extraordinary success.
Tiger mother aroused a big heat in parenting and threw such an important issue for us to think about. Battle Hymn of Tiger Mother gives us really some enlightenment. Anyway, that’s a really unique experience in reading this book.
篇20:《水浒传》小学生读后感500字
全文共 638 字
+ 加入清单这个暑假,我在家读了一本叫《水浒传》的书,我看到了一篇叫《武松打虎》的故事。故事一开头就讲 武松和宋江在柴进家中住了十多天,等武松病好了以后决定去清河看望家兄,柴进和宋江留不住他,便送了他些银两,并摆酒为他饯行。
武松走了几天,来到阳谷县地面,他的肚子也饿了,见前面有一家酒店,上面插着一面旗帜,上面写道:三碗不过冈。就走了进去,坐了下来,将哨棒放了下来,叫道:“店主,快拿就来。”店主拿了三个碗,一双筷子,一盘菜,倒满了三碗酒。武松一口气就喝完了,并说道:“好酒,再拿一些下酒的菜来吃。”店主拿来了牛肉,又倒了两碗酒,店主就不倒了,只管切肉。武松敲着桌子说:“倒酒!”但没有人帮他倒,武松叫久了,变吼道:“为什么不倒酒了?”酒家过来并指着酒旗上面的字说:“三碗不过冈!”武松问道:“为什么叫三碗不过冈!”酒家说道:“俺家的酒后劲大,喝了三碗就倒下,因此叫三碗不过冈。”店主拗不过他,便又倒了三碗……最后,一直喝了十八碗才走了出去。酒家叫住了他说;“这山上有一只老虎,经常伤人,你千万不要一个人前行!”武松对酒家大吼,上山去了。到了半山腰,武松心里想也没什么老虎吗?就躺到大青石上睡了下来。突然一只老虎跳了过来,这时武松被惊醒了,但他没有被吓跑,而是和那张牙舞爪的凶猛的老虎打了起来。他就用拳头把老虎打的七窍流血,动弹不得。我想到了我,平时看到一只老鼠就吓的躲得远远地。
自从看了这篇文章之后,每遇到危险困难我都不害怕了。我就会想到武松打虎的情景。让我们一起做一个勇敢的小学生吧!
