导语:《简·爱》是十九世纪英国著名的女作家夏洛蒂·勃朗特的代表作,人们普遍认为《简·爱》是夏洛蒂·勃朗特“诗意的生平写照”,是一部具有自传色彩的作品。下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的优秀英语作文,欢迎阅读与借鉴,谢谢!

This is a story about a special and unreserved woman who has been exposed to a hostile environment but continuously and fearlessly struggling for her ideal life. The story can be interpreted as a symbol of the independent spirit.

It seems to me that many readers’ English reading experience starts with Jane Eyer. I am of no exception. As we refer to the movie “Jane Eyer”, it is not surprising to find some differences because of its being filmized and retold in a new way, but the spirit of the novel remains----to be an independent person, both physically and mentally.

Jane Eyer was a born resister, whose parents went off when she was very young, and her aunt,the only relative she had,treated her as badly as a ragtag. Since Jane’s education in Lowwood Orphanage began, she didn’t get what she had been expecting——simply being regarded as a common person, just the same as any other girl around. The suffers from being humiliated and devastated teach Jane to be persevering and prize dignity over anything else.As a reward of revolting the ruthless oppression, Jane got a chance to be a tutor in Thornfield Garden. There she made the acquaintance of lovely Adele and that garden’s owner, Rochester, a man with warm heart despite a cold face outside. Jane expected to change the life from then on, but fate had decided otherwise: After Jane and Rochester fell in love with each other and got down to get marry, she unfortunately came to know in fact Rochester had got a legal wife, who seemed to be the shadow following Rochester and led to his moodiness all the time ----Rochester was also a despairing person in need of salvation. Jane did want to give him a hand, however, she made up her mind to leave, because she didn’t want to betray her own principles, because she was Jane Eyer. The film has finally got a symbolist end: Jane inherited a large number of legacies and finally returned. After finding Rochester’s misfortune brought by his original mad wife, Jane chose to stay with him forever.

I don’t know what others feel, but frankly speaking, I would rather regard the section that Jane began her teaching job in Thornfield as the film’s end----especially when I heard Jane’s words “Never in my life have I been awaken so happily.” For one thing, this ideal and brand-new beginning of life was what Jane had been imagining for long as a suffering person; for another, this should be what the audiences with my views hoped her to get. But the professional judgment of producing films reminded me to wait for a totally different result: There must be something wrong coming with the excellence----perhaps not only should another section be added to enrich the story, but also we may see from the next transition of Jane’s life that “Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you would get.” (By Forrest Gump’s mother, in the film “Forrest Gump”)

What’s more, this film didn’t end when Jane left Thornfield. For Jane Eyer herself, there should always be somewhere to realize her great ideal of being independent considering her fortitude, but for Rochester, how he can get salvation? The film gives the answer tentatively: Jane eventually got back to Rochester. In fact, when Jane met Rochester for the first time, she scared his horse and made his heel strained, to a certain extent, which meant Rochester would get retrieval because of Jane. We can consider Rochester’s experiences as that of religion meaning. The fire by his frantic wife was the punishment for the cynicism early in his life. After it, Rochester got the mercy of the God and the love of the woman whom he loved. Here we can say: human nature and divinity get united perfectly in order to let such a story accord with the requirements of both two sides. The value of this film may be due to its efforts to explore a new way for the development of humanism under the faith of religion.

Life is ceaselessly changing, but our living principles remain. Firmly persisting for the rights of being independent gives us enough confidence and courage, which is like the beacon over the capriccioso sea of life. In the world of the film, we have found the stories of ourselves, which makes us so concerned about the fate of the dramatis personae.

In this era of rapid social and technological change leading to increasing life complexity and psychological displacement, both physical and mental effects on us call for a balance. We are likely to find ourselves bogged down in the Sargasso Sea of information overload and living unconsciousness. It’s our spirit that makes the life meaningful.

Heart is the engine of body, brain is the resource of thought, and great films are the mirrors of life. Indubitably, “Jane Eyer” is one of them.

篇1:鲁滨逊漂流记读后感700字

全文共 721 字

“对生活充满信心。”这句看似普通的话语,却蕴含着许多热血人士对生活赤诚的信心。

近日妈妈给我买来了许多优美的外国名著,让我一饱眼福。我从中挑选出了一本我最喜爱的,它就是英国作家笛福的作品——《鲁滨孙漂流记

翻开书本,一阵优雅清新的书香扑面而来,让人置身于笛福笔下鲁滨孙的世界。

那是一个狂风暴雨的夜晚,鲁滨孙所乘的船正惊疑不定地漂浮在海面上,突然又一个大浪打来……

当鲁滨孙醒来时,发现自己正孤身一人躺在沙滩上,没有一个同伴,甚至连能说话的东西都没有,他不禁头涔涔而泪潸潸了。

可是这样的困境激发了鲁滨孙的求生欲,激发了他对于生活的信心,所以他并没有放弃,而是坚持生存下去。不难想象,鲁滨孙遇到的是多么严峻的困难和挑战,他的生活是何等的孤独与寂寞!

如果我是鲁滨孙,我会怎么做?或许我早已对生活充满失望,自暴自弃,最终饿死;或许我早已被野人吃掉;或许我会怨天尤人,最终抑郁而死。

可鲁滨孙并没有这样,饿了捕猎食物;渴了汲饮山泉;累了席地而坐……

他用他的智慧、勇敢来化解各种各样的危机困难,并保持一颗对生活充满信心的良好心态,他用他的勤奋、智慧以及他那永远停歇不下来的双手,创造了一个奇迹的家园。

鲁滨孙在荒岛上生存了28年,这是多么漫长、多么艰苦,多么艰难的28年啊,这简直是一个神话,一个勇敢者所创造的神话。

记得有一次,我们一大家子人去芦芽山旅游,登山登到一半时,我有了要放弃的念头,还是妈妈一直鼓励我,我才勉强爬到了山顶。从此,我对鲁滨孙的敬佩之情与日俱增,因为我正缺少这种坚强的意志以及对生活充满信心的良好心态。

人生路上有许多困难挫折,等待着我们去面对,我们只有像鲁滨逊那样不畏艰险,聪明能干以及对生活充满信心,才能闯过这些暗礁险滩,迎接美好的明天。

篇2:鲁滨逊漂流记读后感

我不知阅读了多少回英国著名作家丹尼尔笛福的大作《鲁滨逊漂流记》,那引人入胜的故事情节让我一次又一次地体验了鲁滨逊丰富多彩的冒险生涯,每一次的阅读,都让我受益匪浅。

本书主人公鲁滨逊自幼喜爱冒险,,在后来的一次航海中,船不幸触礁,船身破裂,造成全船人都葬身于海,除鲁滨逊一人生还,鲁滨逊飘流到一座荒无人烟的小岛上,靠自己的机智和勇敢生活了28年,学会做各种各样的农活,还救了一个野人“星期五”作为自己的仆人和朋友。这漫长的28年,鲁滨逊没有对生活失去希望,生活得井井有条,那种面对困难永不畏惧,乐观顽强的精神深深的令我折服!

本书最令我欣赏的一句话便是鲁滨逊得救后说的一句话“在那么多的日子里,尽管我遭遇了很多危险和困难,但我的收获也是无法计算的。”他得救后,并没有抱怨那28年中遇到那么多的危险,抱怨老天对他是多么的不公,而是觉得,那28年,让他学会了做面包,做陶瓷,捕猎等等,让他收获了许多许多,是“无法计算”的。我还觉得书中在鲁滨逊遇险后,有一段描写得很精彩。就是鲁滨逊把他流落荒岛后所遇到的福与祸整个列了起来,从篇幅上来看,福居多,而且还在后面写到“上帝神奇地把船送到这个海岸附近,又使我可以从船上取下许多东西,让我终生受用不尽。”从以上可以看出,鲁宾逊是一个勇敢无畏的人,但更是一个从不抱怨命运,乐观顽强的人。正是他这种精神,深深地感染了我。

这本书在给我带来收获的同时,也使我深深得反思。如果命运也让我流落荒岛我会怎么样呢?我是在城市里娇生惯养的子女,在荒岛上我一样事情也不会做,包括烧饭洗衣等,我只会在那儿怨天尤人,或者是怀着侥幸心理等着人来救我。可我在荒岛上的命运还是只有一种,要不是饿死,就是冷死。这些立马提醒我这个娇生惯养的城市女孩,要学会生存,学会独立,不要去抱怨生活,去抱怨老天,在平时生活中也应该学习一些生存的基本。

在我们的现实生活中就有许多像鲁滨逊一样面对困难用不畏惧的人,比如说汶川大地震中,教师谭千秋在危险来临时,并没有逃走,而是护住了自己的学生,最后自己死了了,学生活了,面对困难不畏惧的他,就是一名如鲁滨逊一样的英雄。

读完此书,种.种思考过后,我觉得鲁宾逊是一个不抱怨命运,乐观、勇敢、顽强的人,而懂得此番道理的背后,带给我的则是警示,作为一个女孩子,是不是应该去学会生存,学会坚强,学会独立,学会不抱怨命运,做一个“现代的鲁滨逊”呢?

他乐观向上,热爱生活;他机智勇敢,聪明能干;他不畏艰险,知足安命,他就是——鲁滨孙。这个人最喜爱的就是冒险,他不甘心像父亲平庸的过一辈子,于是出海航行、漫游世界。有一次,风暴将小船打翻,他一个人被海浪卷到了一个荒无人烟、凄凄惨惨的一个小岛上。在那里,鲁滨孙一个人勇敢地生活了二十几年。他在岛上建房定居,养牧种植,还救了“星期五”。他遇到种.种困难,但他都克服过去了,把他自己从绝望的深渊里拉了出来。以乐观向上的态度,愉快地过着每一天,最后终于获救,回到了英国。

如果是我,流落到一个荒无人烟的小岛,缺吃、缺住、缺水、缺电、缺伙伴、缺亲人,以及缺少日常用品,我想我会立马崩溃掉,怎么可能想到什么计算日期,列好处坏处,记自己在岛上发生的事情呢?别说二十多年,让我待在那里二十多天我就会垮掉,怎么可能还去安慰自己呢?拿鲁滨孙和自己作比较,我不禁羞愧万分,突然觉得鲁滨孙好伟大……虽然一个人会在一生中经受许许多多的浪头,浪头总是汹涌无比,让你胆战心惊,充满得失之患。但是,小船是被浪头击倒还是平稳地渡过,真正掌握它命运的是你自己!你既可以让它从风浪中走出,又可任它被浪头击倒,掉在长河的漩涡里,这一切的一切,都在于你。

鲁滨孙──一个孤独而顽强的冒险者;鲁滨孙──一个能够放弃安逸舒适的生活,为梦想而拼搏的人;鲁滨孙──一个真正的勇者,他能在一座荒无人烟的孤岛上,独立的度过二十八年的时光……一切的一切,都说明鲁滨孙是个敢于冒险、百折不挠的人。生活中又何尝不是这样呢?无数学子们为攀上学之高峰,经历了无数次没有硝烟的战争;无数企业家为了能够闯出一片属于自己的天地,为了实现自己的远大理想,在商海中拼搏了多少年,吃了多少苦,流了多少泪水和汗水……他们是我们的榜样,但我们又何尝不愿意为自己的人生去闯练闯练、拼搏一番呢?

鲁滨孙让我学会珍惜我拥有的一切,哪怕是一滴水,一粒米饭,我也不敢浪费。我想,当我不再拥有它们的时候,它们是多么珍贵!他还教会了我要独立乐观。他让我知道:不管结局是不是美好的,只要付出了,过程就是宝贵的!

我读了《鲁滨逊漂流记》之后,被鲁滨逊这种在绝境中求生,永不放弃的精神深深地震撼了,并让我永远记住了他,记住了属于他的那段传奇。

故事的主人公——鲁滨逊在年轻时背着父母乘上一艘去往国外的舱船,在去往桑州时遇到了风暴,他死里逃生,漂流到一座荒岛上,在荒岛上活了下来,并在28年后回到了家乡。

鲁滨逊不是一位经过训练的探险家,然而,他却能在荒岛上生存了28年,这是什么原因呢?我想是因为他那永不放弃的精神,强烈的求生欲望,以及可以在绝境中求生的能力。他知道,逃避是毫无用处的,只有勇敢的面对现实,靠自己顽强的毅力,才能争取生的希望。正是因为这些品格,鲁滨逊才能在绝境中逢生!

鲁滨逊的故事激励了我,让我敢于战胜困难。那是我第一次接触油画,老师让我挑出一幅我喜欢的图片来临摹。我一看,心想:哇,都好难画啊!就在这时,老师为我选了一张图片,恰恰是最难画的一张,因为图片上的内容很复杂,有房屋、田野、花丛、树林、天空等。我有些犯憷,但我还是鼓起勇气开始画了起来。我顺利地完成了大部分内容,就剩下树林了。我一看树的枝杆,太复杂了,真想放弃。但是我想:我不能畏难,一定要敢于面对现实,拿出勇气和耐力,想办法征服它。想到这儿,我开始仔细地观察起树的枝干、叶子的形状,以及它们的颜色,先用铅笔勾勒出树干、枝叶的轮廓和形状,然后开始调色,先用粗一些的画笔打底色,再用细一些的画笔上色,渐渐的,一片绿意盎然的树林出现在画布上。最终我的第一幅油画作品完成了。老师走过来,看了看我的画,说:“真不错,你看,你可以画好的,只要你认真努力,困难是可以克服的。”可以说从那之后,我就爱上了油画。

是啊,面对困难时,我们会感到害怕、退缩,想想鲁滨逊那永不放弃、勇于克服困难的精神吧。我要学习鲁滨逊,勇敢地迎接今后学习生活中的一个又一个挑战!

《 Notre Dame cathedral》 is one known far and wide romantic faction strength which Victor Hugo writes . I take advantage of this summer vacation free time, read this great work.

Notre Dame cathedrals story, actually was one at that time social epic poem, since brimmed with really. Friendly. Beautiful, also the flow selfish desire and is false. Regardless of is good beautiful Asmelada ,or has the ugly semblance, Cacimodo with one pure mind, they represent the great amount the lower level populace which suppresses; Perhaps is sinister Coloud, he is appears by the theocracy face, all load bearing one kind of authors ponder.The author in this work, for with the clown, was beautifully friendly and wickedly does the best annotation, or take above three people as the example, the rebel Asmelada has the beautiful semblance and the chaste good mind, as well as pitiful destiny, but Cacimodo, he withstood destiny deceive nicely, the innermost feelings is his misery is graver, but Coloud maintained the benighted social rights and interests, he had brutally.

Was palatial Notre Dame cathedral, how many world tragedy testimony once, in Hugo the novel, he as if had the life breath, he sheltered Asmelada ,exposed Coloud the crime, regret the populace attack the magnificent feat which dark actually heroically devoted……

Another the question which is worth pondering is: Who is the hero? Asmelada or Cacimodo?

Let me just start by saying that I had been put off reading Thomas Hardye by Dickens. Having really struggled with Dickens and resorted to audio I had wrongly assumed that all 19C liturature was the same. How wrong I could be. From the first paragraph where the opening character farmer Gabriel Oak is desribed smiling, ‘the corners of his mouth spread till they were an unimportant distance from his ears‘ I fell in love with Hardy‘s narrative. His ability to use words that lift the description off the page and into the reader‘s imagination are not just outstanding but incredibly enjoyable.

I went into this book blindly, knowing little about the plot that lay ahead or even the genre. It has been described by some as romantic fiction. But I think this is too simplistic a title and and maybe slightly off-putting to some. Hardye steps into Greek Tragedy when the unwitting and churlish actions of our young protagonist, Bathsheba Everdene, result in a love tryst between three suitors with tragic consequenses.

The book is essentially a journey for Bathsheba into womanhood not unlike the journey that Scarlett O‘Hara makes in Gone with the Wind who also has to overcome great tragedy in order to realise her own strength. Unlike this heroin, however, Bathsheba is more the instrument of chaos and indecion and part of her journey is that she accepts what she has caused and tries to make it right.

Hardye avoids making this into moral stricture but deviates from the Greek Tragedy model by giving us a happy ending not atypical of 19C serialised fiction.

Quite often an author‘s voice creeps into their writing and the reader becomes aware that they are not in fact walking the hills and dales of fictional Wessex but are at the pen nib of a writ

Read the O. Henry "the last leaf", I was deeply touched. Came down with pneumonia Johncy girl ivy leaf on the wall outside the window as his own life. Look at pieces of falling leaves, she couldnt help but pessimism and despair, she felt that the last one fall, she also want to go to. Old painter Mr Behrman is also suffering from pneumonia in the last leaf fell down in the evening, laid it on the wall in the rain for Johncy painted the last leaf, he died.

Johncy collapse because of her illness, and even pessimistic to the life on the leaves. She thought that the last leaf fall, she is free. Treat life, optimistic and pessimistic people will make a different choice: optimists in time will be facing death to life full of hope, brave fight for their own life and death; While pessimistic person, even with a healthy body, because the bad state of mind you are blasted the vigorous life.

In the story, Mr Behrman painted the ivy leaf, not just a leaf, it is not just a picture, it is the symbol of people unremitting pursuit of hope, also reflects the Mr Behrman, kind heart. It gives Johncy living courage and hope, and to heal her pneumonia.

In this life and death struggle, Johncy because Mr Behrman that a leaf, the great spiritual power, set up the confidence, to overcome the disease and brave to fight the disease, withered life finally erupt again. In fact, everyone will encounter difficulties and setbacks, the key is to see if you have confidence, can be brave to face it, overcome it.

In life, in the face of difficulties, in the face of challenges, just keep the optimistic positive attitude, brave to challenge, even if failure, there will be no regret. Lets paint in his heart that a piece of falling leaves, not positive in the face of life.

读过欧-亨利的《最后一片叶子》之后,我深深地被感动了。患 了 肺炎Johncy姑娘把窗外墙上的常春藤叶子当作自己的生命。看着叶子一片片飘落,她不禁悲观而又绝望,她觉得那最后一片掉下来,她也要去了。同样是身患肺炎的老画家Behrman先生在那片仅剩的叶子落下去的晚上,顶风冒雨在墙上为Johncy画上了最后一片叶子,便与世长辞。

Johncy因为自己的病而一蹶不振,甚至悲观到了将生命寄托在叶子的身上。她以为最后一片树叶落下,她也就解脱了。对待生命,乐观的人和悲观的人会作出截然不同的抉择:乐观者及时面对死亡也会对生命充满希望,勇敢的为自己的生命而与死神搏击;而悲观的人,即使拥有健康的体魄,也会因为不良的心态也会使旺盛的生命枯萎。

在故事中,Behrman先生所画的那一片常春藤叶子,不只是一片叶子,也不只是一幅画,它是人们对希望不懈追求的象征,也映射出了Behrman先生善良的心灵。它给了Johncy生活下去的勇气和希望,并使她的肺炎得以治愈。

在这生与死的抗争中,Johncy因为Behrman先生的那一片叶子,产生了巨大的精神力量,树立了战胜病魔的信心,并勇敢地与病魔作斗争,枯萎的生命终于又重新勃发了生机。事实上,每一个人都会遇到困难和挫折,关键是看自己有没有信心,能不能勇敢地去面对它,战胜它。

在生活中,面对困难,面对挑战时,只要保持着乐观积极的心态,勇敢地去挑战,即使失败,也不会有遗憾。让我们在自己心中描绘出那一片不落的叶子,积极向上的面对生活吧。

一个人竟然能在荒岛上生存28年,这不能不令人惊叹,这就是《鲁滨孙漂流记》。读完这本书,我被鲁滨孙顽强的生存能力和乐观自信的态度深深折服。

这本书主要讲鲁滨孙在一次航行中,船遇大风,桅杆折断翻船了,其他同伴都死了,只有鲁滨孙被海浪冲到海岛边。鲁滨孙在孤岛上建房定居、畜养种植,逐一克服遇到的困难。他还救了一个野人,给他取名“星期五”。在第28年,他救了一个因为叛乱被绑的船长,船长把他带回到了英国。

书中鲁滨孙的乐观自信深深感染了我。他没有因为同伴们都死了就自寻了断,在荒岛的日子里,他一直没有放弃生存的希望,时时刻刻想着回到英国。他用乐观自信的态度面对一切挫折与磨难,把那三只幸存下来的小动物当作同伴,在孤岛上盖房子、养羊群、种庄稼、捕鱼……成功地存活了下来。

鲁滨孙的自信和乐观离不开他丰富的生存经验。他寻找合适的地点建房,让自己安然躲过食人族的杀戮;他还能捕鱼、打猎,靠着手中的火枪和仅有的工具,他解决了自己的食物问题;他还能利用船上仅有的小麦种子,在反复种收之后,到第四年竟然吃上了面包;他会捏泥烧瓦做陶罐……

相比之下,我什么都不会,整天养尊处优,衣来伸手饭来张口。而且,我一遇到困难就退缩,小时候学舞蹈,觉得动作太难太苦,就放弃了。要是我漂流到孤岛上,即使我有生存的勇气,我也可能会因为没有生活能力,没有任何生存经验而什么事情都做不了;不出几天,我肯定饿死在荒岛上了。现在读了这本书,我觉得我应该向鲁滨孙学习,学会生活的本领,学会乐观自信、坚强勇敢地克服一切困难。

虽然鲁滨孙只是小说中的人物,但是现实中像鲁滨孙那样,自信乐观、努力克服困难的人也有很多。例如:邓亚萍从小喜欢打乒乓球,却因为身材矮小,手脚粗短进不了国家队,可她没有气馁,刻苦训练,最后以精湛的球技站上了世界冠军的领奖台。

让我们都学会生活的本领,像鲁滨孙那样自信乐观,笑对挫折和磨难。

篇12:鲁滨逊漂流记读后感

当我郑重地翻过最后一页,读完了这个情节曲折,跌宕起伏的故事之后,我想我真的被它震撼了。这本《鲁滨逊漂流记》的著作是被誉为"英国小说之父"丹尼尔·笛福在59岁时写的。主人公鲁滨逊怀着云游四海的高志远向,越过大西洋和太平洋,在惊心动魄的航海中历经无数险情,后来整条船终于在太平洋上不幸罹难,唯有他一人得以奇迹般地活下来,并只身来到一座荒无人烟的孤岛上。

他从绝望的缝隙中得到了生命的启示,在孤岛上瞬间便几十年。他在孤岛上劳作生息,开拓荒地,圈养牲畜,生产水稻和小麦,年复一年与孤独为伴,克服了种.种常人难以克服的困难。他曾与野兽斗智,也曾与吃人肉的野人斗勇。

曾有人说过,“作为一个人,首先应该学会的便是如何生存。”鲁滨孙并未做出什么惊天动地的事情,而是和我们一样在生活着。但这些琐碎的细节却又是鲁滨孙同困境对抗的过程,而这些困境又是几乎每个人都曾体会到的:黑暗,饥饿,恐惧,孤独。鲁滨孙的经历之所以具有传奇性是因为在一个特定的环境中,困境被放大了,对抗困境的时间被拉长了。

如果我是他,当船遇到暴风中失事的时候,我不可能像他那样去接受那重重的困难和波折,因为我没有自信。

如果我是他,当独自一人置身于荒岛之上,我不可能像他那样去面对突如其来的灾难,积极自救,因为我没那个能力。

如果我是他,当看到野人用自己同类开宴会时,我不可能像他那样勇敢的站出来,与他们搏斗,因为我没有那种胆量。

虽然,我是个女孩,但也不得不承认自己的软弱与无能,在自己的生活中,很难遇到挫折,即使遇到了,爸爸妈妈总是扶着我,然而幸福中的我根本没意识到家人关爱是一种莫大的快乐看着鲁滨逊的经历,让我可以想象到他在孤岛生活的艰辛,体验到他不屈不挠的冒险精神,更使我重新燃起了对生活的热爱之火。

生活就像是一幅画,有的人画出了春天的生机,夏天的绿荫,秋天的收获,冬天的希望.而有的人却画出了春天的寂寞,夏天的焦躁,秋天的凄凉,冬天的悲哀。画的色彩如何,全取决于作画人本身对生活的态度.鲁滨逊那种对生活不断追求,对交往的向往都源于他那对生活无比热爱崇尚的精神。

如今,我们的生活如此丰富多彩,我们是否有去珍惜,甚至还有人会去轻生,多么愚昧的举动啊.想想鲁滨逊,他为了生存下来,回到正常的社会中去,一直坚持不懈地拼搏着。而对于那些人们,我不知他们领悟到了什么.生活中是存在着千千万万个困难,但也共存这许许多多的精彩与幸福,我们应该去挖掘去体会,那我们才会得到更多。

我崇尚着我的生活,尽管它很普通.我热爱生活,我要用我笨拙的笔去画,画出一张最美的生活!

《山丘上的约会》这个故事中最奇妙的部分,在于两们“笔友”彼此间从未见过面,单单只靠书信文字所产生的美好想象来塑造彼此的形象,而且在无形中不断地增强彼此的美好印象。相信很多人都有这样的经验:只听到某人或某篇文章的形容,就对没见过的人、事、物产生好奇,进而想象,总是越想越美好。

《山丘上的约会》故事最精彩的部分在于两个素未谋面的人终于决定要见面了,让人紧张心跳的也正是这一刻,两人都从对方最高的期望出发,结局如何呢?作者采用了卡通化的造型,夸张地强化了故事中两个主角的差异,不论在身高或体态上都不同。很戏剧化的是,正当玲玲抬头猛往高处寻找将会从天而降的偶像时,男主角瓜瓜也正奋力地跳上山丘去赴约呢!作者运用书本竖立时的直式版面,营造出男女主角见面时的“震憾”画面,令人拍案叫绝!故事中的主角虽然都是田墅里常见的动物,但两者的外形、习性截然不同,所以见面的过程充满了曲折、趣味。孩子在阅读时因为是旁观者,一定会觉得他们好笑,从而在轻松的气氛中理解故事的发展进程。

哇!会面的结果真是令人有些失望,书信中的印象明明不是这样的埃当满怀期盼,终于可以一睹真面目时,才发现事实和想象差了一大截。这是一个有趣又常会发生的事情。其实呢,“人生不如意事十常八九”,生活中经常会有许多的遗憾和委屈。正因为如此我们常常很努力地去避免这样的事情发生,让一切都如意顺心。结果期望越高往往失望越大,以至迷失了对事物本质的认识,我们就越来越不快乐了。试问朋友的真正意义是什么?不就是无邪的友谊分享吗,至于表面的东西也就不值得计较了。

因为人生很少能够真正地心想事成,所以我们会寄望于故事最后的美好结局,至少希望它是正面的、光明的。笔者很欣赏本书的结局。当玲玲和瓜瓜确信彼此的真正友谊存在时,决定继续山丘上的约会,再为彼此美好的友谊努力下去。真好,友谊可以不用猜疑和负担,只要彼此接纳和分享,或许这正是现代人该好好想想的课题。

My Feelings after reading Wuthering Heights

Wuthering Heights is a well-written tragedy of love. After reading the whole story, I would like to talk about the main characters of the story—Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff. Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff love each other very much, but they do not have the right attitude towards love, which leads to the tragedy.

In Catherine’s life, she made a very foolish decision---marrying to Edgar. In fact, her love for Edgar can never be compared to that for Heathcliff. She did so, because she thought the wealth of Edgar would be useful to Heathcliff. But in reality, it did not work. She did not have a good understanding of love, which is something pure and saint. If anyone add any purpose into love, love itself lost its meaning. Catherine’s wrong decision hurt two people who love her, and even destroyed the happiness of their offspring.

Heathcliff is a man full of retaliation. He loved Catherine very much, but what he did, on the contrary, added to the misery of Catherine. In my opinion, if he really loved Catherine, he should not walk into Catherine’s life again after his disappearance. Further more, after the death of Catherine, what Heathcliff did brought agony to Catherine’s daughter, as well as his own son.

After reading, I have a better understanding of love. If you love really someone, his or her happiness is the thing that most matters.

呼啸山庄读后感

《呼啸山庄》是一部写得很好的爱情悲剧。读完整个故事,我想谈谈故事的主人公——凯瑟琳和希斯克利夫。凯瑟琳和希斯克利夫非常相爱,但他们没有采取正确的态度对待爱情,从而导致悲剧。

在凯瑟琳的生命中,她作了一个非常愚蠢的决定——和埃德加结婚。事实上,她给埃德加的爱永远不可能与给希斯克利夫的相比。她这样做,是因为她认为埃德加的财富会对希斯克利夫有用。但实际上,它没有用。她不懂得爱情,爱情是圣洁的。如果有人给爱情添加任何目的,爱情本身就失去了意义。凯瑟琳的错误决定伤害了两个爱她的人,甚至破坏了他们的后代的幸福。

希斯克利夫是一个充满复仇心的男人。他非常爱凯瑟琳,但他的所作所为恰恰相反地增加了凯瑟琳的痛苦。在我看来,如果他真的爱凯瑟琳,他不应该在他消失之后再次走进凯瑟琳的生活。此外,凯瑟琳死后,希斯克利夫给凯瑟琳的女儿以及他自己的儿子带来了极度的痛苦,。

读后,我对爱有了一个更好的理解。如果你真的爱某人,他或她的幸福绝对经得住所有困难的考验。

篇16:鲁滨逊漂流记读后感600字

全文共 815 字

+ 加入清单

生活如同大海上行船,不可能总是风平浪静,反而,有些风浪,会行驶的更快,更远。

这学期,我有幸读到了《鲁滨逊漂流记》这本书。这本书讲的是一个英国人,不听父母的劝阻,在多次航海后,在海上遇难,并流落到一个荒岛上。在岛上,凭借着船上的资源和自己的劳动努力,创造出一片欣欣向荣的景象。同时他还救下了一个野人,并取名“星期五”。被困26年后,终于,在自己的努力下成功获救。

这本书给予我以很大的启发。在面对困难时,我们应我们应该直面困难。而不是退缩、逃避、放弃。正如鲁滨逊刚被流落到荒岛时的迷茫、无助一样。我们应该及时清醒起来,而不是一蹶不振。冷静的分析问题,找到解决方法,并努力解决它。面对匮乏的资源,鲁滨逊一次又一次地,直面困难,用惊人的毅力和智慧,解决了一个又一个难题。当遇到困难与险阻时要怀抱希望,乐观地去面对。要相信,只要努力,就一定会有收获。正如笛福的名言所说:“困难并不可怕,可怕的是害怕困难的内心,因为害怕困难的内心比困难本身还要可怕一万倍。”

光依靠船上的食物,是不可能支持很久的。一分耕耘一分收获。鲁滨逊用勤劳的双手,建造住所、饲养牲畜、开垦农田、保卫家园等。这种勤劳朴实的精神值得我们去学习。

回顾全书,鲁滨逊的荒岛经历和我们的生活经历有很大的相似之处。生活中的我们难免会遇到些不幸、挫折和困难。而我们能否像鲁滨逊一样乐观积极的去看待这些困难和不幸,是我们值得反思的一件事。生活中的强者会战胜这些不幸并以此去磨练自己走向成功。而那些弱者,则会被失败打倒。而鲁滨逊就是一个生活中的强者的缩影。

在深处绝境之时,不要放弃任何一丝希望。正如鲁滨逊不顾一切抓住任何机会企图逃离荒岛一样。他那一次又一次的尝试,向我们展示了他那坚韧不拔的品质。这也是一个难得可贵的品质。

在苦难中磨练自己,在困境中升华自己。让我们让我们直面困难,用坚韧不拔的意志,和不屈不挠的品质去战胜它,成为生活中的强者。正如高尔基的名言所说:“让暴风雨来的更猛烈些吧!”

Love seems to be the perpetual theme all over the world. But actually what is love? For most girls in 20s, love may mean everything to them. They seek for love bravely no matter what difficulties they may face. In their eyes, love is pure or even holy. However, those are just an ideal situation, n real life; people tend to find a balance between love and property.

Pride and prejudice is Austin’s great work. Through the discussion of the different marriages and love, the writer demonstrates her concept about love and marriage: love and marriage is closely associated with property and society, however, love and marriage can not only be decided by the property and social status. An ideal marriage should be based on mutual affection, respect and the same interest. She rejects the marriage based only on wealth.

Different people have different ideas upon marriage. By the description and discussion of the four marriages in the novel, we can see that Austen fully expresses her views on love and marriage. Only by appreciating the marriage founded on the basis of mutual understanding and true love, but also by satirizing the marriage founded on the basis of origin and desire.

The marriage based on social position and money can’t bring happiness in life. Aimless marriage and love are unpractical.

Everything goes wrong for poor couples. Marriage based on wealth is not a fault. At least, it can offer us a better condition of life. Property is not everything in the life but without it, we can do nothing. This is called reality. But if you only married for wealth, you sell your liberty. The rest of your life might be miserable, and your marriage will filled with endless bitterness.

Austins "pride and prejudice", as she puts it, is thin on two inches of ivory carving, it is the masterpiece of Austin. Reflect the marriage problems of novel is a, the author works in the most is her favorite works.

Works of vivid reflects the late 18th century to the early 19th century in a conservative and occlusion of the British town life and the world. Its social graffiti like novels not only attract the readers at that time, solid to today, still give the reader a unique artistic enjoyment. She was the first to realistically portray ordinary grace novelist in daily ordinary life, plays an essential role in English novel.

The whole works, not least no winding ups and downs of the plot, but it is this simple, delicate and attracted us deeply. Austin, short life is spent in the country, almost all around may be simple, halcyon atmosphere nurtured her cool temperament. Not because there is no abundant experience, for the analysis of things for her ability to doubt.

People read the book pride and prejudice "will be fine for her, keen emotion. When writing "pride and prejudice", she is just a teenage girl, isnt this a gift? She does very little contact with the outside world, but thought, imagination, the existence of all this is enough.

奥斯汀的《傲慢与偏见》,正如她自己所说,是在两寸象牙上细细的雕刻,它是奥斯汀的代表作。这部反映婚姻问题的小说是作者作品中最受的一部,也是她本人最喜欢的作品。

作品生动的反映了18世纪末到19世纪初处于保守和闭塞状态下的英国乡镇生活和世态人情。其社会风情画似的小说不仅在当时吸引着广大的读者,实至今日,仍给读者以独特的艺术享受。她是第一个现实地描绘日常平凡生活中平凡恩的小说家,在英国小说史上起了承上启下的作用。

整部作品没有滂沱的气势,没有曲折跌宕的情节,但就是这种简单,精致深深地吸引着我们。奥斯汀短暂的一生几乎都是在英国的乡间度过的,也许就是周围朴素,宁静的氛围孕育了她淡然的气质。并不能因为没有丰富的经历,就对她的对于事物的分析能力有所怀疑。

读过《傲慢与偏见》的人一定会为她细腻,敏锐的情感所折服。在写《傲慢与偏见》时,她只是一个十几岁的女孩,难道这不是一种天赋么?她的确很少接触外界,但思想存在,想象存在,这一切的存在就足够。

篇20:老人与海英语读后感

全文共 9113 字

When I was a middle school student, I’ve finished this book in Chinese.But when I read it in English,I really gain something new both in the way of expression and the spirit it shows to us.May be different ages to read the same book we will learn different things from it.At least, for my part, that is true.

Firstly,I would like to review some information about this book.Such as the background,major characters and the topic of it.

The Old Man and the Sea is a story by Ernest Hemingway, written in Cuba in 1951 and published in 1952. It was the last major work of fiction to be produced by Hemingway and published in his lifetime. One of his most famous works, it centers upon Santiago, an aging Cuban fisherman who struggles with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream.

The Old Man and the Sea served to reinvigorate Hemingways literary reputation and prompted a reexamination of his entire body of work. The novella was initially received with much popularity; it restored many readers confidence in Hemingways capability as an author. Its publisher, Scribners, on an early dust jacket, called the novella a "new classic," and many critics favorably compared it with such works as William Faulkners "The Bear" and Herman Melvilles Moby-Dick.

This book gives me a deep impression especially the description about the man’s braveness and persistence.

In this book, in order to suggest the profundity of the old man’s sacrifice and the glory that derives from it, Hemingway purposefully likens Santiago to Christ, who, according to Christian theology, gave his life for the greater glory of humankind. Crucifixion imagery is the most noticeable way in which Hemingway creates the symbolic parallel between Santiago and Christ. When Santiago’s palms are first cut by his fishing line, the reader cannot help but think of Christ suffering his stigmata. Later, when the sharks arrive, Hemingway portrays the old man as a crucified martyr, saying that he makes a noise similar to that of a man having nails driven through his hands. Furthermore, the image of the old man struggling up the hill with his mast across his shoulders recalls Christ’s march toward Calvary. Even the position in which Santiago collapses on his bed—face down with his arms out straight and the palms of his hands up—brings to mind the image of Christ suffering on the cross. Hemingway employs these images in the final pages of the novella in order to link Santiago to Christ, who exemplified transcendence by turning loss into gain, defeat into triumph, and even death into renewed life.

The major characters in this book are also vivid and lively.

Santiago?,the old man of the novella’s title, Santiago is a Cuban fisherman who has had an extended run of bad luck. Despite his expertise, he has been unable to catch a fish for eighty-four days. He is humble, yet exhibits a justified pride in his abilities. His knowledge of the sea and its creatures, and of his craft, is unparalleled and helps him preserve a sense of hope regardless of circumstance.

The marlin?,Santiago hooks the marlin, which we learn at the end of the novella measures eighteen feet, on the first afternoon of his fishing expedition. Manolin?,a boy presumably in his adolescence, Manolin is Santiago’s apprentice and devoted attendant. The old man first took him out on a boat when he was merely five years old. Due to Santiago’s recent bad luck, Manolin’s parents have forced the boy to go out on a different fishing boat. Manolin, however, still cares deeply for the old man, to whom he continues to look as a mentor.

Joe DiMaggio, although DiMaggio never appears in the novel, he plays a significant role nonetheless. Santiago worships him as a model of strength and commitment, and his thoughts turn toward DiMaggio whenever he needs to reassure himself of his own strength. Perico ?,Perico, the reader assumes, owns the bodega in Santiago’s village. He never appears in the novel, but he serves an important role in the fisherman’s life by providing him with newspapers that report the baseball scores. This act establishes him as a kind man who helps the aging Santiago.

Martin,like Perico, Martin, a café owner in Santiago’s village, does not appear in the story. The reader learns of him through Manolin, who often goes to Martin for Santiago’s supper. As the old man says, Martin is a man of frequent kindness who deserves to be repaid.

From the very first paragraph, Santiago is characterized as someone struggling against defeat. He has gone eighty-four days without catching a fish—he will soon pass his own record of eighty-seven days. Almost as a reminder of Santiago’s struggle, the sail of his skiff resembles “the flag of permanent defeat.” But the old man refuses defeat at every turn: he resolves to sail out beyond the other fishermen to where the biggest fish promise to be. He lands the marlin, tying his record of eighty-seven days after a brutal three-day fight, and he continues to ward off sharks from stealing his prey, even though he knows the battle is useless.

Because Santiago is pitted against the creatures of the sea, some readers choose to view the tale as a chronicle of man’s battle against the natural world, but the novella is, more accurately, the story of man’s place within nature. Both Santiago and the marlin display qualities of pride, honor, and bravery, and both are subject to the same eternal law: they must kill or be killed. As Santiago reflects when he watches the weary warbler fly toward shore, where it will inevitably meet the hawk, the world is filled with predators, and no living thing can escape the inevitable struggle that will lead to its death. Santiago lives according to his own observation: “man is not made for defeat . . . [a] man can be destroyed but not defeated.” In Hemingway’s portrait of the world, death is inevitable, but the best men (and animals) will nonetheless refuse to give in to its power. Accordingly, man and fish will struggle to the death, just as hungry sharks will lay waste to an old man’s trophy catch.

The novel suggests that it is possible to transcend this natural law. In fact, the very inevitability of destruction creates the terms that allow a worthy man or beast to transcend it. It is precisely through the effort to battle the inevitable that a man can prove himself. Indeed, a man can prove this determination over and over through the worthiness of the opponents he chooses to face. Santiago finds the marlin worthy of a fight, just as he once found “the great negro of Cienfuegos” worthy. HSantiago, though destroyed at the end of the novella, is never defeated. Instead, he emerges as a hero. Santiago’s struggle does not enable him to change man’s place in the world. Rather, it enables him to meet his most dignified destiny.

While it is certainly true that Santiago’s eighty-four-day run of bad luck is an affront to his pride as a masterful fisherman, and that his attempt to bear out his skills by sailing far into the gulf waters leads to disaster, Hemingway does not condemn his protagonist for being full of pride. On the contrary, Santiago stands as proof that pride motivates men to greatness. Because the old man acknowledges that he killed the mighty marlin largely out of pride, and because his capture of the marlin leads in turn to his heroic transcendence of defeat, pride becomes the source of Santiago’s greatest strength. Without a ferocious sense of pride, that battle would never have been fought, or more likely, it would have been abandoned before the end.

Santiago’s pride also motivates his desire to transcend the destructive forces of nature. Throughout the novel, no matter how baleful his circumstances become, the old man exhibits an unflagging determination to catch the marlin and bring it to shore. When the first shark arrives, Santiago’s resolve is mentioned twice in the space of just a few paragraphs. Even if the old man had returned with the marlin intact, his moment of glory, like the marlin’s meat, would have been short-lived. The glory and honor Santiago accrues comes not from his battle itself but from his pride and determination to fight.

Santiago dreams his pleasant dream of the lions at play on the beaches of Africa three times. The first time is the night before he departs on his three-day fishing expedition, the second occurs when he sleeps on the boat for a few hours in the middle of his struggle with the marlin, and the third takes place at the very end of the book. In fact, the sober promise of the triumph and regeneration with which the novella closes is supported by the final image of the lions. Because Santiago associates the lions with his youth, the dream suggests the circular nature of life. Additionally, because Santiago imagines the lions, fierce predators, playing, his dream suggests a harmony between the opposing forces—life and death, love and hate, destruction and regeneration—of nature.

This book gives me courage of conquering all kinds of difficulties .And I have the belief that the most beautiful thing is the process that we make our best to achieve our dream,and never say give up .
