波希米亚少女爱斯梅拉达是巴黎流浪人的宠儿,靠街头卖艺为生。她天真纯洁,富于同情心,乐于救助人。因为不忍心看见一个无辜者被处死,她接受诗人甘果瓦做自己名义上的丈夫,以保全他的生命;看见卡西莫多在烈日下受鞭刑,只有她会同情怜悯,把水送到因口渴而呼喊的敲钟人的唇边。

这样一个心地高贵的女孩,竟被教会、法庭诬蔑为“女巫”、“杀人犯”,并被判处绞刑。突出了当时教会、法庭的不负责任,以诬赖的方式,平息人民的愤怒。而作者则把爱丝美拉达这个人物塑造成美与善的化身,让她心灵的美与外在的美完全统一,以引起读者对她的无限同情,从而产生对封建教会及王权的强烈愤恨。

至于副主教克罗德和敲钟人卡西莫多,这是两个完全相反的形象。克罗德表面上道貌岸然,过着清苦禁欲的修行生活,而内心却渴求淫乐,对世俗的享受充满妒羡,他自私、阴险、不择手段。而卡西莫多,这个驼背、独眼、又聋又跛的畸形人,从小受到世人的歧视与欺凌。在爱斯美拉达那里,他第一次体验到人心的温暖,这个外表粗俗野蛮的怪人,从此便将自己全部的生命和热情寄托在爱斯梅拉达的身上,可以为她赴汤蹈火,可以为了她的幸福牺牲自己的一切。

在《巴黎圣母院》中,作者以极大的同情心描写了巴黎最下层的人民、流浪者和乞丐。他们衣衫褴褛、举止粗野,却拥有远远胜过那个所谓有教养、文明的世界里的人的美德:互助友爱,正直勇敢和舍己为人。小说中巴黎流浪人为救出爱斯梅拉达攻打圣母院的场面,悲壮、激烈、慷慨、惊心动魄。突出了流浪人们的团结互助。

巴黎圣母院,威严赫赫,以其不朽的智慧,在它存在迄今八百多年中,默默注视着滚滚河水、芸芸众生,曾经是多少人间悲剧、人间喜剧的见证!在雨果的这部小说中,它仿佛有了生命的气息,庇护爱斯梅拉达,证实克罗德的罪行,悲叹众路好汉尝试打击黑暗统治而英勇献身的壮举,惊赞卡西莫多这“渺不足道的微粒尘芥”把一切豺狼虎豹、一切刽子手踩在脚下的侠义行为;它甚至与卡西莫多合为一体,既是这畸形人灵魂的主宰,又是他那怪异躯壳的依托。在雨果的生花妙笔之下,它活了起来,同时也以它所铭刻、记述并威武演出的命运交响曲增添了伟大作家的光辉。

克洛德,作为一名副主教。一生钻研学问,对于爱与禁忌都有着极端的克制。可是,在日复一日的克制之下,他的爱越来越畸形扭曲,最终酿成了无法挽回的悲剧。

书中对于克洛德的正式出场介绍,是在第五章“伟大的副主教”。首先描写的是他对于上帝的极度虔诚和恪尽职守,而紧接着通过对他的那些诡异行为的一些刻画以及与夸克纪埃的一番对话,展现出这样一个老江湖的虚伪狡猾。他认为一切的医学和占星学等科学是假,只有炼金术才最真实。这样一位饱读圣贤书的学者,内心的冲突源于他对上帝的虔诚与书中的知识。那些他所学习的知识从根本上来说是反教会的,但在教会的浸染下长成的克洛德又怎么可能去否认教会的某些非科学的错误。这直接导致他陷入了失衡之中,在现实和虚幻之中一步步走入自我的毁灭。

在克洛德真实生活的这个世界,他是完全孤立的一个个体。对于弟弟若望,他倾注了全部的爱,可弟弟找他的时候只为了金钱;对于养子加西莫多,他们更像是“主人和够”,克洛德无法找到任何的亲近感。于是在情感上的失意,以及钻研在炼金术研究上的不顺,让克洛德找不到任何的出口。爱思梅拉达的适时出现,成为了克洛德唯一的选择。他将爱思梅拉达视为救赎自己的一条道路,渴望爱思梅拉达去拯救自己的内心世界。

可是,他无视了爱思梅拉达的尊严,盲目地奢求回应。于是这样一种畸形且又病态的爱让克洛德认为:倘若得不到爱斯梅拉达同样的爱,他便宁愿毁了这个人的性命。被克洛德爱的女子是不幸的——因为他在旅馆的行为,爱斯梅拉达被公开审判且在严刑下供认不讳;因为爱斯梅拉达的拒绝,他选择大声呼喊,放任爱斯梅拉达的死活。作为一名教士,他甚至任何的性欲都是错误的。可是,欲望越克制也越猖狂。想办法摆脱困境的克洛德并不像现代人一样选择成全、离开,而是用卑鄙的手段让爱思梅拉达离开。

纵观克洛德的一生,无疑是可悲的。陷入对自我认知的矛盾的漩涡中且无法挣脱出来,以及得不到社会大众的归属感,这都折磨着克洛德的身心。这样极致的心理扭曲外化于他那一声魔鬼的笑,于是也迎来了他应得的结果。

这本书看完好几天了,那感觉就像是有一团说不清是什么的东西一直堵在心里,很想找人和自己探讨,很想让它澄清。书里面的经典情节很多很多,那里面展示的很多,我不能一一的重复,就这样借着几个点,说说我的巴黎圣母院读后感

让我印象深刻的场景是作者笔下的当时的那些建筑,那些奢华的象征权力的教堂,人们还不知道可以拥有自己的思想,以及为了自己的愿望可以做什么事情,一切都假借神圣的宗教,一切都假借神圣的教堂来展现,展现建筑家的审美观,也就是个人的才华,或者展示自己的能力,我想那时的人们,把人性深深地埋在一件神圣的宗教的外衣下面,典型的人物就是副主教——克洛德。从那许多的错综复杂的毫无章法的建筑群,我们不难看出,当时人们的内心是怎样的压抑,怎样狂躁,那些像雨后春笋一般从地下冒出来的教堂的尖顶,正是人们扭曲的灵魂在对着苍天做这无声的哀号!

教堂里面是那么的阴森恐怖,这让人联想到在宗教的遮拦下,当时社会是怎样的肮脏和败坏,真善美的宗教和利用宗教制造血腥事件,形成了强烈的感官刺激。通篇都是在这样的对照下进行的,让人的心灵深刻的体会出迷茫,困惑,和不安,假如有一把利剑,你会尽你的全力去刺破那层蒙在社会上空的阴云,那阴云是邪恶的,你对它布满了愤怒和鄙视,就像书里面的那些流浪汉们对待社会的疯狂的报复。可是你不能,因为假如你想刺痛那些邪恶,你就先要将代表着真善美的上帝打倒在地,那是多么残酷的事情啊!还有比人丧失本性更悲哀的么!

巴黎圣母院给我印象深刻的是这样的几个人物,代表漂亮善良的姑娘——爱斯梅拉达。她不仅有迷人的外貌,更有一颗纯真善良的心灵,从她对待那只山羊,救下那个落魄的诗人,对于伤害过自己的卡齐莫多,送上的水和怜悯,对待爱情的牺牲,等,我们看到她是漂亮的,她的身上心灵上没有污垢,她是没有被污染的。可是,这样的天使一样的姑娘,受到的是怎么样的对待呢?流浪,在最肮脏的环境里面生活,被所谓的上流社会排斥和嘲讽,被玩弄,被抛弃,被诬陷,被威胁,最后,作了彻底的牺牲。

书中描写了一个那样的社会,和在那个社会生活中的种种人物的状态,麻木的如那个弗比斯,最底层的如老鼠洞里的那几个隐修女,疯狂的副主教,还有尽全力反抗的最丑陋的卡齐莫多,副主教和卡齐莫多形成了人性上的鲜明对比,同样爱上了漂亮的姑娘,同样的遭到了拒绝,他们的爱都是那么的热烈,那么的诚挚,可是,一个是占有,一个是奉献,已占有为目的的,当目的无法达到的时候,他想到的是毁灭,毁灭别人;以奉献为目的的,当无法奉献的时候,想到的也是毁灭,毁灭自己。

我想这也就是世界名著的真正魅力所在,他让人看到的不是一个简单的故事,他深刻的揭示了人类内心深处的一些活动,无论放在什么时候,什么社会,人的共性是始终存在的,对美好的向往,对美好的追求,对美好的赞美,人是一个天使和魔鬼的综合体,人和人的经历没有相同的,也就是说,社会本身就不可能让所有人享受到同等的待遇,这种不一样的待遇,让多少人的内心失去了平衡,失去了对美好的追求阿!林林总总的肮脏的巧取豪夺,充斥着我们的眼睛,振荡着我们心灵,我们该怎么办?

我想每一个人都会有一个属于自己的答案。

"Father and son" is a humorous cartoon. I have read the book three times.

When I first read the book, my mother heard the laughter coming from the study room. Indeed, the book is very interesting, and father and son often make jokes. For example, "sunset map": his father is a bald. One day, father read a newspaper on the sofa. The son called his companion, and showed him half the bald head of his sofa as a sunset, drawing on the sofa, and adding a picture frame. The father suddenly turned, and the setting sun had eyebrows, eyes, whiskers, ears. Father humor, simple, kind and playful, son smart, naive, cute and naughty, these two characters are very popular with everyone.

The second time I read this book, I felt the deep affection between father and son. One of the comic stories goes like this: the father and his son go to the seaside for a holiday. The son found a lot of pebbles on the beach and threw stones into the sea until he could not find any stones. Father saw, in the evening, pushing the car, over and over to the seaside to transport stones. The second day, the son found a pile of stones piled on the beach, very happy. My father was pleased to see it. I carefully observed fifth cartoons, found his father for his son to transport a pebble, sweat a lot. My father did everything for his son, and his son loved his father. He also made me cry.

When I read the book third times, I went abroad to combine the preface to know that E O Plauen created the father and son in the dark age when the Nazi fascist ruled germany. This warm, touching the cartoons was in the years of turmoil of creation, he is really a positive and optimistic person, is a person who is very loving son. He is a good painter concerned. He did not like some people in order to save life and property and surrender to the Nazis, he boldly created anti Nazi cartoons. But such a master of humour was mercilessly killed by the evil fascist. I think, while we praise the father and the son, we should praise their Creator, egypt. Austria. Rauen.

I read three times "father and son", and every time there was a new discovery. I hope I read every good book.

Recently, I read a very interesting book, is the name of the book "Tom Sawyer, I really like the hero inside.

Tom is a clever naughty boy. Tom for feudal life in the family and school in the boring classroom life, felt so tired. To take the risk, so bring your own good friends with all my heart to do the leader of the commander in chief the robber. Because in his eyes, a pirate is hero Robin Hood. He ran away from home, to go to the outside world through a cross, have a look, play time, bold pirate! In this adventure, he met with difficulties, but he didnt lose heart, dont give up, again and again to challenge difficulties bravely, until down with difficulty.

Although Tom naughty, naughty, but he also has a kind heart, he is brave, and also very savvy. Take the second chapter books, for instance. Tom fully display their talents. I paint the walls in order to let the other people to help him, he deliberately performance is very interesting, let he saved a lot of kung fu, also let others willing to give him something, as a reward. In he and huck met that night, two people together witnessed a murder, for the sake of justice, intrepidity Tom stood out, blew the lid off the Injun Joes ugly face, save the potter. This let I think Tom is a brave child.

Tom, Tom rebellious, tired of school life, I think I can understand. I just elementary school, I feel so happy, because there was no pressure, no piles of homework, more relaxed. But suddenly, I was the sixth grade students, homework than in a grade of homework every day. Sometimes, I also want to put down the work to the fullest play, also want to put aside all the classroom life like a bird to fly freely. With this experience, I think, Tom should feel the same way.

After reading this book, I think encounter difficulties do not easily discouraged, and strive to insist on. Tom is full of sunshine in life tells us: as long as there is joy, have a dream, a dream can come true.

最近,我读了一本非常有趣的书,书的名字是《汤姆索亚历险记》,我非常喜欢里面的主人公。

汤姆是个聪明调皮的孩子。汤姆对于家庭中封建的生活和学校中枯燥的课堂生活,都感到无比厌烦。于是带上自己的好朋友一起去冒险,一心要做统帅众强盗的首领。因为在他眼里,海盗就是劫富济贫的英雄。他离家出走,要到外面的世界里去闯一闯,看一看,扮一回胆大包天的海盗!这次冒险中,他遇到了种种困难,但他并不灰心,也不放弃,一次又一次勇敢地向困难挑战,直到打倒困难为止。

汤姆虽然顽皮、淘气,但他也有一颗善良的心,他很勇敢,也非常机智。就拿书上的第二章来说吧。汤姆充分的显示了自己的聪明才智。为了能让别人帮他刷墙,他故意表现的很有意思,让他省了不少功夫,还让别人心甘情愿的给他东西,作为酬劳。而在他和哈克相遇的那天晚上,两人一起目睹了一场凶杀案,为了主持正义,不畏强暴的汤姆站了出来,揭发了印第安乔的丑陋面目,解救了波特。这点让我觉得汤姆是个勇敢的孩子。

汤姆的叛逆,汤姆对学校生活的厌倦,我想我是可以理解的。我刚上小学的时候,就觉得好高兴,因为那时没有压力,没有堆积如山的作业,比较轻松。可转眼间,我就已经是六年级的学生了,每天的作业比在一年级时的作业多多了。有时,我也想放下作业尽情地玩耍,也想抛开所有的课堂生活像小鸟一样自由自在地飞翔。有了这样的体会,我想,汤姆该有同感吧。

读了这本书以后,我觉得遇到困难不要轻易气馁,而要努力奋斗,坚持下去。汤姆充满阳光的生活里告诉我们:只要有欢乐,有梦想,美梦便可以成真。

Jane Eyre is a portrait of Charlotte Brontes poetic life. It is a work with autobiographical color. It tells a story of an English woman who has become an orphan since childhood. She always pursues freedom and dignity in all kinds of hardships, insists on herself, and finally gets happiness. From this we can see that the frustrations and pains of life are clouds. Persistence is the key. Victory lies not in the result, but in the spirit. Like Charlotte and Jane Eyre, there is the mental quality of perseverance and struggle against pain. Gain strength, raise self. Let yourself have the courage to open up. Be bold in making progress. Go up the higher steps.

Jane Eyre, the heroine, was a pure and thoughtful woman. She lived in the bottom of society and suffered all kinds of hardships. But she has a stubborn personality and the courage to pursue equality and happiness. With rich lyrical writing and deep and delicate psychological description, the novel exhibits fascinating and tortuous love experiences of the hero and heroine, and celebrates the freedom from all old customs and prejudices. On the basis of mutual understanding and mutual respect is rooted in the deep love, with a strong shock of the mind force. The most successful thing is to create a woman who dares to resist and dare to strive for freedom and peace. The parents died of typhoid fever and died one month later. The young Jane Eyre was raised at the uncles parents house. Uncle Mr. Reed died in the red house after Jane loved XX times subjected to discrimination and abuse of life. On one occasion, Jane was locked up in the red house because of his cousins assault. Physical pain and spiritual humiliation and fear caused her to suffer a serious illness.

The trials of thousands of setbacks have created our persistent character, forged our strong will, trained our excellent skills and paved the way for our success. In the setback, we save a little bit of strength, step by step towards brilliant. Let us full of "fate by the throat" of the lofty sentiments and aspirations! Challenge setbacks and overcome setbacks!

The confusion was going on, the rebellion was on, the search was taking place, and Jane and Mrs. finally walked into the church school under the bullying of Mrs. Reed and John. But the pain is there, there are many essential things, there are many hidden in the undercurrent of life still need to face the pain. The plight of life, the departure of a good friend, and the public denunciation from Mr. Blok Hester all made her feel the foul air and the pain of the heart in the confused life. Life was at last a progress, and God was a little merciful. In the church school, two years of teacher life was probably a calm backwater for jane. However, in not cheerful, quiet life, but permeated with her strong sense of loneliness and fear, she needs is in the real life of confusion in the free and run, free, cheerful and love.

A strong, simple, rigid and flexible, independent, aggressive woman. She was humble and homely, but she didnt feel inferior. Her contempt for the arrogance of power, laugh at their stupidity, show of self-reliance and good ideal personality. She has a tenacious vitality, never bow to fate.

Once saw a sentence in a certain place: "where the heart is, Su Li in the past, life is like a journey, a reed in the air." Janes life is like a lonely boat, walking in the boundless tempestuous waves, with her strong defeated fate, to win their own sky!

Oliver Twist is written by Charles Dickens.

Charles Dickens is one of the greatest writers in the England. He was born in a poor family but later he became famous and rich. The famous novel --A Tale of Two Cities is written by him too.

This novel shows us the cruelty and crime of London. Oliver Twist the hero is a poor orphan. He lived in a life filled with taunts. Nobody loved him. With visions of his future he decided to go to London. He thought a new life was coming but he was wrong a group of thieves were waiting for him.

The author created a group of bad men.

Fagin an old man with a horribly ugly face and red hair was the head of those thieves. He tried to make Oliver be a criminal.

Bill Sikes was a cruel and evil man in the group. He had a bad temper.

Monks Oliver’s brother did bad things to hurt Oliver. He wanted to get the legacies left by his father alone. He paid Fagin to trap Oliver into a life of crime. In fact they were all afraid of being put into prison and being hanged. They can’t live happily.

Nancy a poor girl loved a bad man. She had to help Bill Sikes perpetrate because she loved him. She had to be loyal to the criminal group because she loved him. Actually she was kind. She helped Oliver at the risk of her life. If she hadn’t fell in love with Sikes she would have a happy ending.

The author showed these ugly things to us he described an ugly world. But there are more kind people in the novel.

Mr. Brownlow an old friend of Oliver’s father took good care of Oliver.

Mrs. Maylie Harry Maylie’s mother saved Oliver of his life.

Miss Rose is the aunt of Oliver in fact.

They all protect Oliver from hurt.

Oliver was unlucky to meet so many evil people but he was luckier to get help from so many kind people.

In the end of the novel all the evil people were punished. Oliver got what he should get. Rose married Harry Maylie and they lived happily. All the kind people have a happy ending.

Righteousness can always beat evil. I think this is what the author wants to tell. Although there are many ugly things in the world we must believe that righteousness can always beat evil.

We must store kindness even though we are in ugly situation. One is poor if he doesn’t have kindness. One is rich if he has kindness. So please store your kindness in your mind.

What’s more the novel also tells us to be brave. Oliver was brave enough to overcome all the problems he had met. No matter how difficult the problem is we can’t give up we must try our best to solve it.

From Oliver Twist I have learnt a lot .It’s really a good novel.

篇10:呼啸山庄英语读后感

Published in 1847, WUTHERING HEIGHTS was not well received by the reading public, many of whom condemned it as sordid, vulgar, and unnatural--and author Emily Bronte went to her grave in 1848 believing that her only novel was a failure. It was not until 1850, when WUTHERING HEIGHTS received a second printing with an introduction by Emilys sister Charlotte, that it attracted a wide readership. And from that point the reputation of the book has never looked back. Today it is widely recognized as one of the great novels of English literature.

Even so, WUTHERING HEIGHTS continues to divide readers. It is not a pretty love story; rather, it is swirling tale of largely unlikeable people caught up in obsessive love that turns to dark madness. It is cruel, violent, dark and brooding, and many people find it extremely unpleasant. And yet--it possesses a grandeur of language and design, a sense of tremendous pity and great loss that sets it apart from virtually every other novel written.

The novel is told in the form of an extended flashback. After a visit to his strange landlord, a newcomer to the area desires to know the history of the family--which he receives from Nelly Deans, a servant who introduces us to the Earnshaw family who once resided in the house known as Wuthering Heights. It was once a cheerful place, but Old Earnshaw adopted a "Gipsy" child who he named Heathcliff. And Catherine, daughter of the house, found in him the perfect companion: wild, rude, and as proud and cruel as she. But although Catherine loves him, even recognizes him as her soulmate, she cannot lower herself to marry so far below her social station. She instead marries another, and in so doing sets in motion an obsession that will destroy them all.

WUTHERING HEIGHTS is a bit difficult to "get into;" the opening chapters are so dark in their portrait of the end result of this obsessive love that they are somewhat off-putting. But they feed into the flow of the work in a remarkable way, setting the stage for one of the most remarkable structures in all of literature, a story that circles upon itself in a series of repetitions as it plays out across two generations. Catherine and Heathcliff are equally remarkable, both vicious and cruel, and yet never able to shed their impossible love no matter how brutally one may wound the other.

As the novel coils further into alcoholism, seduction, and one of the most elaborately imagined plans of revenge it gathers into a ghostly tone: Heathcliff, driven to madness by a woman who is not there but who seems reflected in every part of his world--dragging her corpse from the grave, hearing her calling to him from the moors, escalating his brutality not for the sake of brutality but so that her memory will never fade, so that she may never leave his mind until death itself. Yes, this is madness, insanity, and there is no peace this side of the grave or even beyond.

It is a stunning novel, frightening, inexorable, unsettling, filled with unbridled passion that makes one cringe. Even if you do not like it, you should read it at least once--and those who do like it will return to it again and again.

篇11:关于《飘》英语读后感模板

I felt that I was deeply fascinated by it soon after I had read it.

I first read it in a summer. I did not finish it at a single sitting. However, the moment I finished it, near midnight in a sweltering August day, with my body poured with sweat, held my breath to turn the last page over, shut the book and heaved a sigh of relief, I just could not express how I felt. All were over: trouble was over; lives were over; hopes were over. I was shocked how such a small book could contain such a complicated story. Never were wars, diseases and starvation ever nakedly exposed to me like this. The turns in plots were surprising but natural.

It was a tragedy: Just as its name suggested, everything was gone with the wind, including families’ touch, friends’ support, sweethearts’ gaze and youth with vigour. The story reminds us of valuing all we were possessing. A life lasts for a short time and anything in it lasts shorter. We always lose something unconsciously and then feel regretful when we need them later.

Characters in the story were so vivid as if they had been going to jump out of the story, as if they had been existed in the real life at first.

“Land is the only thing in the world that amounts to anything, for ‘this the only thing in this world that lasts, and don’t you be forgetting it’ this the only thing worth working for, worth fighting for——worth dying for.” Said Gerald, an Irish man who loved his soil more than his own life, let us know that life can be born out of land.

“But Scarlett, did it ever occur to you that even the most deathless love could wear out? Mine wore out, against Ashley Wilkes and your insane obstinacy that makes you hold on like a bulldog to anything you think about.”

“Scarlett, I was never one to patient pick up broken fragment glue them together and tell myself that the mended whole was as good as new. What is broken is broken——and I’d rather remember it as it was at its best than mend it and see the broken places as long as I lived.” Said Rett Butler, a man who love Scalett as much as a man can love a woman. Loving her for years before he finally got her, he loved her crazily but did not let her know it for fear of being hurt. But at last he still could not escape from hurts. “My dear, I don’t give a damn.” Look, he did not care about it at all. He was a man who disguised himself so much.

“I mustn’t bawl; I mustn’t beg. I mustn’t do anything risk his contempt. He must respect me even——even if he doesn’t love me.”

“I’ll think of it all tomorrow, at Tara. I can stand it then. Tomorrow, I’ll think some way to get him back. After all, tomorrow is another day.”

Said Scalett O’hara, the most wonderful woman I’ve ever seen. She was hard and greedy and unscrupulous, a brave, frightened, bull-headed child. Though she only thought about how to attract man’s attention and did not do anything useful before the war, she did surprise me when I read about her doings after the war. At that time, her Tara was just reduced to ashes. Everyone sketched out their hands and asked her for food. She bravely faced the reality and rebuilt Tara with her own hands. What a tough woman, I thought. Though those she loved were all gone, she was still full of hope. When Rett didn’t love her anymore and wanted to leave her, she said “I mustn’t bawl… even if he doesn’t love me.” A woman’s dignity could be seen from what she have said and done. That’s why I appreciate her.

This novel gave me too much to think about and I can not fully express myself in English. It is true that reading an origin is more vivid than the translated ones. However, my English level limits me to understand the origin well without the translated. But I will work hard in order to understand better.

The novel is my treasure, forever, because I find myself in Scarlett and find the world I live in inside the story.

That’s really an excellent novel, with an ending from which you can see hope rising from despair.

我觉得我被它深深地着迷于不久之后我读过它。

我第一次读它在夏天。我没有完成它一次。然而,当我完成它,接近午夜八月份的一个闷热的一天,与我的身体倒汗,屏住呼吸把最后一页结束,关闭这本书叹了口气,我只是无法表达我的感受。都在:麻烦结束了;生活;希望都结束了。我很震惊如此小的书如何包含这样一个复杂的故事。从来没有被战争、疾病和饥饿这样赤裸裸的暴露在我。情节出人意料但自然的转。

这是一个悲剧:正如它的名字暗示,一切都随风而逝,包括家庭,朋友的支持,情侣的目光和青春与活力。这个故事提醒我们的评估我们所拥有的全部。生活持续很短的时间内,任何时间短。我们总是在不知不觉中失去一些东西,然后后悔当我们需要他们。

人物故事非常生动的好像是要跳出故事,好像是存在于现实生活中。

“土地是世界上唯一的东西,对“这持续的唯一在这个世界上,你可别忘了,“这唯一值得你去为之工作,为之战斗,为之牺牲。”杰拉尔德说,爱尔兰人爱他的土壤超过他自己的生活,让我们知道生活可以出生的土地。

“但斯佳丽,你过没有,即使是最不灭的爱可以穿出去吗?我穿着,对希礼·威尔克斯和你疯狂的固执,让你保持像斗牛犬任何你想。”

“思嘉,我从来不是一个耐心捡起碎片粘合在一起,告诉自己,整个修补是像新的一样。什么坏了坏了,我宁愿记住它,因为它是最好的比修复它,看到破碎的地方,只要我活着。”Rett巴特勒说,一个人爱斯佳丽一个男人可以爱一个女人。爱她多年,他终于得到了她,他爱她疯狂但没有让她知道害怕被伤害。但最后他还是无法逃避伤害。“我亲爱的,我一点也不在乎。“看,他并不关心。他是一个伪装的人这么多。

“我不能放声痛哭,我不能乞求。我不能做任何风险他的轻蔑。他必须尊重我,即使他不爱我。”

“明天我想到这一切,在塔拉。我可以忍受。明天,我要想办法让他回来。毕竟,明天又是新的一天。”

斯佳丽奥哈拉说,我见过最美妙的女人。她是困难的,贪婪和无耻的,勇敢的,害怕,任性的孩子。虽然她只想到如何吸引男人的注意,不做任何有用的战争之前,她确实让我吃惊当我读到她的行为。当时,她的塔拉只是化为灰烬。每个人都描绘了他们的手,问她。她勇敢地面对现实,用自己的双手重建塔拉。是一个很坚强的女人,我想。虽然她爱的人都走了,她仍然充满希望。当Rett不爱她了,想要离开她,她说“我不能放声痛哭…即使他不爱我。“一个女人的尊严可以看到从她所说的和所做的。这就是为什么我欣赏她。

这本小说给了我太多的思考和我不能完全用英语表达自己。的确,阅读一本比翻译的更加生动。然而,我的英语水平限制了我理解的起源没有翻译。但是我会努力工作,为了更好地理解。

这本小说是我的宝,永远,因为我发现自己在斯佳丽并找到我生活的世界里的故事。

这真的是一个很好的小说,结局可以看到希望从绝望。

阿甘正传英语读后感(二)

This is a powerful yet charming movie; fun for its special effects and profound in how it keeps you thinking long after it"s over. Like others, I"ve seen this movie more than once. One comment I"ve never heard is that Forrest"s simplicity is almost zen-like. I should read the novel to get the author"s intention (I remember some people preferring the book and complaining that no one at the Academy Awards gave him any credit.) But rather than an implication that you should do what you"re supposed to do and believe in God and you"ll win in the end, I see it as zen-like, i.e., living in the moment and not having expectations or particular cravings (other than his loving Jenny.) (www.veryok.net)So he ends up just stumbling into all the major historical events of the time. Granted, he achieves this only because he doesn"t have the brains to think otherwise and actually have expectations, but so many of our problems are because we do have higher intellect and desires, which ironically makes us unhappy because we know what we are missing. We love our cats and dogs for the same simplicity and always being in the moment. There"s a line in the movie wondering if everything is predestined or happens randomly or it"s a combination of both. It is something to mull over for a long time.

Abstract: This film Shawshank Redemption describes a man called Andy Dufresne was sent to the prison for he murdered his wife but in fact he was innocent. Then he started fighting against with the wicked prison life. Though he suffered many unfair treatments and ordeals, he never gives up himself. Due to his intelligence and perseverance, he spend 20 years successfully escape from the prison as a redemption. He teaches me that never lose hope.

Keywords: hope; redemption; freedom; dream

The story took place in 1940. A man who is a banker called Andy Dufresne, was sent into the Shawshank prison, for he murderer his wife and her lover in bed. However, he was innocent as he said. The new days in the prison were hard to live. It’s violent, heartless and cruel. Nevertheless, A month later, Andy began to make friends with other prisoners. And one of them called Red, who could get anything what he wanted. Andy bought a mallet from him and started his plan to escape. During this time, he did many things: expanding the library, caving stones, helping the corrupt warden to get money or bribe, etc. Then a young prisoner’s coming break his quiet life in jail. But the warden killed the young prisoner the only man that knew Andy was innocent. Then he knew the prison he could not stay any more. It took him 20 years to tunnel secretly and he successfully escaped from the prison. When he got free, Andy sent the evident which could prove the warden corruption, briber and murdering to the policy agency. Before that, Andy had told his best friend Red that his dream---Zihuatanejo, a warm place without memory. After escaping, Andy lived a free life in another identity and made the prison governor arrested. Several years later, Red was approved to leave. for the promise to Andy. Finally, in Zihuyatanejo, they met.

The cruel prison life terrified me and the friendship moved me. The story goes to a happy ending---redemption. This film impressed me a lot. A sentence was said in the film: ’Some birds aren"t meant to be caged, but most birds will choose to stand it.’

In this film, as we can see, the Shawshank Prison, which enjails lots of people. They have been in the prison form many years ,so they won’t go abroad. Because they won’t and also they can’t. They lived here for years without hope, and they lived just in the small prison, where nobody knows what is their dream and what’s their hope. As I remember, a old man Brooks was released after he had been in the jail for 50 years. But he found that the world became completely different from the world he imagined. For example, he seldom see cars before. He felt very strange and helpless to the outside world He can hardly adapt to the new developed world. He would rather stay in the prison. So unfortunately he chose to commit suicide.

However, on the contrary, Andy said a converse sentence:’ Some birds aren"t meant to be caged, that"s all. Their feathers are just too bright’ He long for the freedom and strive for it! What I remember very clearly is someone said that These walls are kind of funny things like that. First, you hate them, then you get used to them. Enough time passed, get so you depend on them. That is institutionalizing. But Andy hadn’t been affected. He insisted on his faith of freedom. He dared to pursue his deserved freedom! That’s the first point I appreciate.

What’s more, another thing I think is friendship. Of course, Andy’s perseverance and endeavor is the main reason that he succeed in escaping. But it can’t be denying that friendship is also a important reason. Without the friends’ help in the prison, especially red’s, He can’t break the prison, too. Even in the jail which is the most evil place that Andy could make it a significance place. He had transformed a storage room smelling of turpentine into the best prison library in New England. Then the prisoners read the books and got knowledge from it. Andy also helped them to pass the high school equivalency. The glitters of him lighted others’ life. That helps him built many sincere friendships in the prison. He just too bright that didn’t belong to the prison .Then he escape and gained the freedom.

Furthermore, the patience, courage and b willpower are the keys to escape. 20 years, not a short ordeal time, but he endured. He made his plan day by day, week by week and year by year. He never gives up. he took nearly twenty years to dip a tunnel with a little rock hammer which Red said it would take a man 600 years to tunnel under the wall with one of these to fight for his free .And he did it finally. Please imagine, crossing the tunnel he dup, he still should crawled through five hundred yards of shit-smelling foulness. That is the length of five football fields.

Then is the last but not least, I think. He has the bright brain ,the never fading persistent, and the most important thing----hope. Just as Andy said to Red: Hope is a good thing, may be the best of things. In this film, Andy show us that how good thing the hope is. Yes , hope is a good thing. Whatever it is, it can’t lock the hope. We all have dream. We all have hope. We all have it and please never give up, like Andy.

This film, Shawshank Redemption, teaches me a lot. It deserves to be one of the most overwhelming films in the Hollywood.

I once read a book named “Charlottes Web ".It talks about a very moving story which is one of the most remarkablely beautiful memory in my childhood.

This is the gist of the story.Pig Wilbur and the spider Charlotte live in so perfect accord with each other that they built sincere friendship. However, a bad news came like a bolt from the blue: Wilbur will be killed on the Christmas day! "You never die, Ill save you!"by Charlotte when Wilbur was wailing "I dont want to die!" To fulfill her promise, Charlotte devoted all her lifetime and asked no rewards, until the moment she died.

After I had read the book,I was in contemplative mood. Only leaving the selfless love and pure kindness,Charlottes own time was at an end. When this sort of emotion has already been lacked seriously in contemporary society, this story undoubtedly moves the readers.

According to my point,we need such kind of friendship in our life,so we must learn from Charlotte. As they old saying goes”A friend in need is a friend in deed”。We should help our friends as much as we could when they needed. Let us go into action, let the world become especially fine.

It’s too heavy.” he said. He tells his friend, the pilot, he must be responsible for his rose, so he has to go back. At the end the author doesn’t tell us the ending directly.
