读了《汤姆叔叔的小屋》这本书后，我百感交集，有愤怒，有感动，还有对苦命的黑奴们的同情。

书中的故事之所以令我愤怒，是因为它真实地再现了19世纪在美国南方的奴隶主压迫和折磨下的黑奴们的悲惨生活。故事中的奴隶贩子赫利和奴隶主烈格雷的所作所为让我愤怒无比。赫利贪得无厌，毫无人性，逼得艾莉查携子逃亡;烈格雷凶残冷酷、常常毒打黑奴，汤姆叔叔就是被他活活打死的!

然而，我也从书中的故事中获得了感动，因为可敬的汤姆叔叔、可爱的伊娃，还有圣克莱尔先生等人。故事的主人公汤姆叔叔善良、忠诚、能干，当他知道自己被主人卖给了奴隶贩子后，为了报答感恩，他没有逃走。然而，为了让同伴顺利逃走，汤姆叔叔宁死也不出卖她们，他的人格多么高尚啊!还有美丽的伊娃，她像天使一样，有着一颗纯洁的心，她平等地爱着所有的人，可惜她小小年纪就病死了!仁慈的圣克莱尔先生本来可以给汤姆叔叔自由的，谁知道他却意外身亡，真是遗憾啊!

我也很同情书中的其他奴隶们，如露希、埃米琳和露西。露希的孩子被奴隶贩子卖了，她绝望地跳河自杀了;埃米琳不得不离开母亲，不幸地被卖给了烈格雷，受尽了各种屈辱;可怜的露西被迫离开自己的丈夫，给烈格雷当奴隶，身体虚弱的她还经常受到烈格雷的鞭打和责骂……

读了《汤姆叔叔的小屋》这本书后，我知道这个世界既有阳光的一面，也有阴暗的一面。我觉得我们应该关心身边那些受苦受难的人们，要平等友爱地对待他们，让身边所有的人都能幸福的生活。

“Animals deserve our kindness， sympathy and understanding，” that is what Anna Sewell-the author of Black Beauty-wanted to convince her readers。 Thanks to Sewell， I now think about the animal-human relationship from both the human and the animal’s point of view。

The inspiration for Anna Sewell’s novel was drawn from her own relationship with horses。 Anna Sewell was born on March 20th， 1820 in Norfolk， England and was crippled while still very young。 Due to her disability， she relied on horse-drawn carriages and grew to love horses as a result。 She also became appalled by the careless and cruel treatment horses often received from humans and determined to write a book。。 In the second year of work on the book， she was told that she had only eighteen months to live， but she persevered in order “to induce kindness， sympathy and an understanding [of the ] treatment of horses。” Five years later， she was still working on Black Beauty， her only book。 Unfortunately， Sewell died a few months after publication and never learned of the book’s huge success。 Black Beauty formed an impassioned plea for animal rights at a time when such a notion had been dismissed as ridiculous。

The novel portrayed the real condition of working horses living in Britain during the Victorian Era。 In that time period， the wealthy thought that their horses were treated well because they never stepped into the stable。 In order to call people’s attention to horses’ hard life， Sewell tells the story through the first-person narrative voice of a horse。 This innovative personification of an animal made the book a real success。 Readers heard the stories straight from the horse’s mouth， literally， as an animal spoke of extremes of joy and suffering。 People were shocked by the truth exposed by the novel and changed their attitudes towards animals。

Sewell formed the novel with three kinds of characters: Black Beauty， Ginger and other farm animals。 Through their different experiences， I saw similarly painful lives led by the animals。 This method made the earnest appeal for animal rights become more and more persuasive。

As a domestic animal， Black Beauty was continuously sold from one family to another。 Over the years Beauty enjoyed good masters but also endured mean ones。 Sometimes， he was cared for and at other times tortured。 In the end， everything turns out all right in a story that is so tender and yet meaningful。 His story was so vivid that caught the readers’ heart。 The novel brought people laughter and tears and also enlightened them to understand animals at the same time。

Animals cannot speak so understanding is significant to them。 Once，for example， Beauty was drawing the carriage to a wooden bridge。 The bridge was flooded out in the river and John， the groom， was not aware that it was cracked。 But the quickly realized that something was wrong because of Beauty’s abnormal behavior。 Momentarily， a man shouted to them， “Stop! Stop!…The bridge is broken in the middle。 If you come across， you’ll fall in the river!” Beauty had saved John。 However， if John had not tried to understand what Beauty wanted to tell him， there would definitely have been an accident。 I learnt from the story that understanding animals is not only essential to them but is also beneficial to us ourselves。

One hundred and sixty years ago,when Charlotte Bronte created Jane Eyre,she could have never thought that it would become eternal.As a matter of fact, in the world of today,there are tens of thousands of Jane Eyre,each living in a readers heart,breathing with him the same air and sharing with him the same happiness and sorrow.Her rich mental world has become an inexhaustible resource of spirtual power.From Jane Eyre,people who are timid and shy get confidence and self-respect;people who feel imprisoned get independence and freedom;people who are lonesome get love and care.However, what I get from Jane Eyre is the courage of inner qestioning and self-exploring.

Jane Eyre is a young orphan being raised by Mrs. Reed, her cruel, wealthy aunt. A servant named Bessie provides Jane with some of the few kindnesses she receives, telling her stories and singing songs to her. One day, as punishment for fighting with her bullying cousin John Reed, Jane’s aunt imprisons Jane in the red-room, the room in which Jane’s Uncle Reed died. While locked in, Jane, believing that she sees her uncle’s ghost, screams and faints. She wakes to find herself in the care of Bessie and the kindly apothecary Mr. Lloyd, who suggests to Mrs. Reed that Jane be sent away to school. To Jane’s delight, Mrs. Reed concurs.

Once at the Lowood School, Jane finds that her life is far from idyllic. The school’s headmaster is Mr. Brocklehurst, a cruel, hypocritical, and abusive man. Brocklehurst preaches a doctrine of poverty and privation to his students while using the school’s funds to provide a wealthy and opulent lifestyle for his own family. At Lowood, Jane befriends a young girl named Helen Burns, whose strong, martyrlike attitude toward the school’s miseries is both helpful and displeasing to Jane. A massive typhus epidemic sweeps Lowood, and Helen dies of consumption. The epidemic also results in the departure of Mr. Brocklehurst by attracting attention to the insalubrious conditions at Lowood. After a group of more sympathetic gentlemen takes Brocklehurst’s place, Jane’s life improves dramatically. She spends eight more years at Lowood, six as a student and two as a teacher.

After teaching for two years, Jane yearns for new experiences. She accepts a governess position at a manor called Thornfield, where she teaches a lively French girl named Adèle. The distinguished housekeeper Mrs. Fairfax presides over the estate. Jane’s employer at Thornfield is a dark, impassioned man named Rochester, with whom Jane finds herself falling secretly in love. She saves Rochester from a fire one night, which he claims was started by a drunken servant named Grace Poole. But because Grace Poole continues to work at Thornfield, Jane concludes that she has not been told the entire story. Jane sinks into despondency when Rochester brings home a beautiful but vicious woman named Blanche Ingram. Jane expects Rochester to propose to Blanche. But Rochester instead proposes to Jane, who accepts almost disbelievingly.

The wedding day arrives, and as Jane and Mr. Rochester prepare to exchange their vows, the voice of Mr. Mason cries out that Rochester already has a wife. Mason introduces himself as the brother of that wife—a woman named Bertha. Mr. Mason testifies that Bertha, whom Rochester married when he was a young man in Jamaica, is still alive. Rochester does not deny Mason’s claims, but he explains that Bertha has gone mad. He takes the wedding party back to Thornfield, where they witness the insane Bertha Mason scurrying around on all fours and growling like an animal. Rochester keeps Bertha hidden on the third story of Thornfield and pays Grace Poole to keep his wife under control. Bertha was the real cause of the mysterious fire earlier in the story. Knowing that it is impossible for her to be with Rochester, Jane flees Thornfield.

Penniless and hungry, Jane is forced to sleep outdoors and beg for food. At last, three siblings who live in a manor alternatively called Marsh End and Moor House take her in. Their names are Mary, Diana, and St. John (pronounced “Sinjin”) Rivers, and Jane quickly becomes friends with them. St. John is a clergyman, and he finds Jane a job teaching at a charity school in Morton. He surprises her one day by declaring that her uncle, John Eyre, has died and left her a large fortune: 20,000 pounds. When Jane asks how he received this news, he shocks her further by declaring that her uncle was also his uncle: Jane and the Riverses are cousins. Jane immediately decides to share her inheritance equally with her three newfound relatives.

St. John decides to travel to India as a missionary, and he urges Jane to accompany him—as his wife. Jane agrees to go to India but refuses to marry her cousin because she does not love him. St. John pressures her to reconsider, and she nearly gives in. However, she realizes that she cannot abandon forever the man she truly loves when one night she hears Rochester’s voice calling her name over the moors. Jane immediately hurries back to Thornfield and finds that it has been burned to the ground by Bertha Mason, who lost her life in the fire. Rochester saved the servants but lost his eyesight and one of his hands. Jane travels on to Rochester’s new residence, Ferndean, where he lives with two servants named John and Mary.

At Ferndean, Rochester and Jane rebuild their relationship and soon marry. At the end of her story, Jane writes that she has been married for ten blissful years and that she and Rochester enjoy perfect equality in their life together. She says that after two years of blindness, Rochester regained sight in one eye and was able to behold their first son at his birth.

Actually,not only do I inspired by Jane Eyres character,but also I am moved by the love of Rochester.I believe that every one of us may have thought about our Mr.Right after reading this book.He doesnt need to be so handsome .However,he must be good to us and take our things as the most important things.Yes, we are all expecting...

Scarlett , a very personality figures ，the two mans she love ,neither does she know about.To her, I was compelled to admire, admire her strong and brave, admire her to lay down in the environment, farm workers previously suffered education, admire her to disregard the community to create their own expression of the cause .She is in the whole story, all a person full of fighting will full of vitality . I appreciated most , it is this " Tomorrow is another day of hers. " . Promising forever, full of fighting will , will never give up, never desperate. I think Im moved by her.So, whenever I meet difficulty, the mood is not good, I will tell oneself : " Tomorrow is another day. " Gone with the Wind is absolutely a good book that is worth sampling repeatedly, the characters are graceful , the plot rises and falls, exciting boldly and unconstrainedly, though the subjective factor because of the author among them , the appraisal on U.S.A.s Civil War is not objective and overall, but as to angle of literature, this one fine piece of writing generation definitely absolutely, worth visiting.

Author: Antoine de St-Exupery

Main Characters: The little prince, the pilot, the rose, the fox, the snake, etc.

Despite I’ve not in my childhood yet, I still prefer reading fairy-tale stories. The tales, which accompany with me in my old days, often make me think of some precious experience and sensation which only belong to children. This summer I’ve review this kind of tale, which was published in 1940. It’s the world-famous fairy-tale by the French author, Antoine de St-Exupery, The Little Prince.

As many other fairy-tales, the outline of The Little Prince is not very complex. “I”, the narrator of the story, is a pilot whose plane has something wrong and lands in the Sahara. In this occasion, the pilot makes the acquaintance of the little prince, a little boy from another planet, the Asteroid B612. The little prince has escaped from his tiny planet, because he has some quarrel with a rose, which grows on his planet. In that case he left his own planet and took an exploration at some neighbor asteroids.

On his all-alone journey, the little prince meets different kinds of people, which includes a king, a conceited man, a tippler, a businessman, a lamplighter and a geographer. From these people he gets a conclusion that the grown-ups are very odd. Following the instruction of the geographer, he descends in the Sahara, on the earth.

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" .

Jane. Love living in a parents, sponsor, grew up under the environment of treatment with peers, aunt abandon, cousin contempt, cousin insults and beating of a child… this is the dignity of the ruthletrample, but perhaps because it all, Jane. Love and faith of infinite indomitable spirit, a kind of inner personality can win.

In rochester, she never because he is a teacher and the family status meanness, but that they feel inferior is equal. Should not because she is a servant, but not respected by others. Also because of her integrity, noble and pure heart, no pollution, secular society for the shock, and rochester her as a spiritual and equality in the conversation, and slowly and deeply in love with her.

Jane eyre itself to us is a kind of simplified, is a fanpiaoguizhen, is a kind of pursuit of whole heart feeling, is a kind of simplified feelings and neglected, it is like a cup of water, purify every readers heart, also cause readers, especially female readers

寒假里我读了一本叫《汤姆叔叔的小屋》的名著，这是由一个美国非常有名的女作家斯托夫人写的书。看完这本书，我为主人公汤姆叔叔悲惨不幸的命运感到心痛与同情，为我自已能生活在如今这样一个现代，文明，公平，公正的社会而感到幸运和骄傲!

这本书的主人公汤姆叔叔是一个黑人奴仆，他为人正直善良，对待主人忠心耿耿，对待同伴热心善良，大家都很喜欢他。当他知道主人为了还一个叫赫里的债务不得已要把他和另一个女奴卖掉的时候，他没有逃走而是选择了留下，多么忠心，善良可爱的叔叔呀!后来汤姆叔叔又被卖给了一个叫海利的奴隶贩子，然而他在船上救了一个落水的小女孩，小女孩的爸爸便买下了他，成了小女孩家的奴仆，这家主人对他还不错，他过上了两年所谓的幸福生活，可惜他的主人不幸死了，汤姆叔叔又被卖掉了，这次他没有那么幸运。这是一个非常残暴的庄园主名叫烈格雷。烈格雷非常惨忍，经常虐待汤姆叔叔，不仅让他干非常重非常累的活，还常常不如意就鞭打他。由于汤姆叔叔不愿意做欺负同伴的监工，便遭到烈格雷的毒打，但汤姆叔叔始终没有屈服。在一次黑人出逃事件中，汤姆叔叔不肯出卖他同伴的下落，最终被烈格雷活活打死。这是一个多么悲惨和不公的社会呀!汤姆叔叔为人忠心耿耿，正直善良，诚实热心，乐观向上，却在那个种族岥视，没有人身自由的社会得到了不公平的待遇，真是令人心痛!

我为我生活在一个人人平等，自由的现代社会而感到幸运和骄傲，我想我会珍惜现在的生活，为建造更加美好的社会而努力的!

平淡中的波折，朴素中的锋芒

——关于《我的叔叔于勒》

李梦妤

让我们看看故事是如何发展的。首先作者写了主人公一家的拮据生活。“家里样样都要节省，有人请吃饭是从来不敢答应的，以免回请。买日用品也是常常买减价的。”这闲闲的两笔让读者深刻的了解了主人公的家庭情况。等读者了解了主人公的家庭情况，作者笔锋一转：“可是每星期日，我们都要衣冠整齐地到海边栈桥上去散步”从而巧妙的引出了故事的另一个主要人物——于勒。于勒是什么样的人呢?一开始他“行为不正、糟蹋钱”，“不仅把自己应得的那部分遗产吃得一干二净，还大大占用了我父亲应得的那一部分。”于是人们按照当时的惯例，把他送到美洲去。请注意，这里作者用了“惯例”一词，这暗示了当时社会中人们普遍的金钱关系。后来呢?于勒来信说他赚了点钱，于是，“大家都认为分文不值的于勒，一下子成了正直的人、有良心的人”。大家每天都在盼望着于勒归来。前后对比之强烈，人们之间以金钱维系的亲情可见一斑。再后来，因为二姐的婚事，一家人要到哲尔赛岛游玩。作者写一家人很自然的上船、很自然的想吃牡蛎，在“自然”中一步一步慢慢地将故事推向了高潮——父亲发现那个穷苦的卖牡蛎的年老水手竟然是他们日日夜夜盼望着的于勒!读到这里，相信每个人都会为之惊讶。可是，这种结果既是意料之外，也是情理之中的。最后，“我们回来的时候改乘圣玛洛船，以免再遇见他”。菲利普夫妇对于勒的“盼”、“赞”立即转为“怕”、“躲”，让人读来又增添一丝失落和对当时人们金钱关系的失望。

这篇文章没有深奥的主题、复杂的情节，而是用平淡、自然地语言叙述简单的故事。可是其中一些看似简单的细节描写却尖锐的讽刺了人们的金钱关系。例如：当于勒据说赚了大钱的时候，菲利普太太说“这个好心的于勒”，“他真是个有办法的人”;当他又成了穷光蛋的时候，这位太太马上把他说成了“这个东西”，“这个贼”，“有办法的人”马上成了“决不会有出息的”。在情节发展方面，作者的笔调也是平淡的，不慌不忙地慢慢展开叙述，丝毫不见刻意的铺垫，却让读者的心无法平静下来，一定要一口气把这篇文章读完不可。这两点，是我最为欣赏的。

I read a very interesting book, the name of the book is called "Tom Sawyer, I like the book in the little hero and some story happened on him.

Tom is a naughty, naive and lively children, but in the eyes of an adult who is also a real bad boy, he naughty, like mischief, play truant, the nature is the norm, not only in this way, he make trouble method also each time, let a person elusive, small-scale operations. Although he is a very bad very bad child, but also to make people laugh: penalty was painting the walls, and could come up with a good way to make a friend for him to complete, and make friends with him to take a variety of foods and toys for a chance to paint the walls. In this way, Tom not only comfortable, leisure and suddenly gained a lot of gifts.

Let me more impressive is the story of Tom and huck and Joe three people formed a team when the pirates fled to a desert island. 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.

After reading this book, I feel that we meet with difficulties dont get discouraged, and strive to insist on. Tom lives full of sunshine also tells us: as long as there is joy, have a dream, a dream can come true!

我读了一本非常有趣的书，书的名字叫《汤姆索亚历险记》，我很喜欢这本书中的小主人公以及在他身上发生的一些故事。

汤姆是一个顽皮、天真并且十分活泼的孩子，但在大人的眼里他同时也是一个不折不扣的坏孩子，他调皮、喜欢恶作剧、逃学这些自然是家常便饭，不仅这样，他捣蛋的方法还一次比一次厉害，让人琢磨不透，防不胜防。他虽然是一个很坏很坏的孩子，但也会做出让人捧腹大笑的事情：被罚粉刷墙壁，竟能想出好办法让小伙伴替他完成，并让小伙伴们拿各种各样的食物和玩具来跟他换一次刷墙的机会。这样一来，汤姆不光悠闲自在，而且一下子就收获了很多礼物。

让我印象比较深刻的是故事中汤姆与哈克再加上乔三人组成了一个团队逃到了荒岛上当海盗。在这次冒险中，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。

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

The tale of two cities is a historical story， one of Dickens’ long fictions.The background to the novel is the revolution of France .It portrayed a brutal and bloody story ， but it also contained love and friendship.

In the novel， Dickens sarcastically described a typical cruel nobleman—marquis of Evermonde . When he was young he and his brother stole a countrywoman by force and killed her family .What’s worse ， he used his power to imprison Dr Manette ， a kind and honest man who knew all the things they had done and wanted to disclose their crimes . In order to hide their crimes. Marquis of Evermonde and his brother threw Doctor Manette into prison for 18 years . During these 18 years，Doctor Manette lost his freedom and suffer a great in spirit .

I felt unthinkable that Marquis of Evermonde and his brother killed people just as easily as they killed chickens. They deprived other people’s freedom as they liked and they thought it was normal and unremarkable. They had never realized that they had done something wrong or something improper. Because their nature was cruel and evil， like demons. There is an old saying which means： People who commit too many crimes will kill themselves. After all， there is justice in the world. The demons can’t be rampant forever. Because the world will not forgive them. They will pay their lives for their crimes. Let’s see the consequence of the Marquis，’’He lay there like a stone with a knife pushed into his heart.” I think it was just what he ought to gain and it is a real exciting scene.

The Marquis’ death was just the beginning of people’s resistance to the nobleman. Gradually more and more people joined in the revolution. One after another nobleman were sentenced to death and their heads were cut down . However， some innocent people were implicated in the revolution. Charles Darney was one of them He was the nephew of Marquis of Evermonde. To the opposite of his uncle， Darney was a kind and independent young man.

Dickens spoke highly of kindness mercy and love in the novel too. This is the other thone of the novel when Doctor Manette was released from prison. It was his daughter Lucie who took care of him and helped him return to normal. During this time， Dr manette and Lucie knew Charles Darney and Sydeny Carton， the two young man fell in love with Lucie at the same time . At last， Lucie married Chares Darney .Dr Manette accepted Darney as his son-in-law although he knew that Darney was the nephew of the man who threw him into prison for18 years. This is the love between father and daughter. And Sydeny Carton ， the very great man ，loved Lucie deeply. He promised Lucie that he would do everything for her happiness. He did it truely ，he sacrificed himself instead of Darney who looked the same as him. This is love for lovers . This is the most wonderful thing in the world. It also reminds us that no matter how no matter when there is true love existing. At the end ， Lucie， Dr Manette and Darney arrived in England safely.

The tale of two cities is different from other historical fictions. Its characters and main plots are fictional under the real background of the revolution of France. The author made the experience of the fictional charactor Dr Manette as the main clue.The plots are complicated， and they are flexuous and dramatic. The structure is complete and rigorous.

Dickens had dear love and hate. He praised those who ought to be praised and attacked those who ought to be attacked. The motivation of the novel maybe just warn the English dominators. But I think we can learn something meaningful from the tale of two cities.

这是一篇莫泊桑著名的的短篇小说。故事很简单：发生在法国西北一个拮据家庭中的小插曲。主要人物有菲利普夫妇、于勒还有若瑟夫——也就是文中的“我”。文章透过“我”和一家人在去哲尔赛岛的途中偶遇于勒的经过和菲利普夫妇在发现于勒其实并不如想象中阔绰的反应，深刻地揭示和讽刺了资本主义社会中人与人纯粹的金钱关系。

让我们看看故事是如何发展的。首先作者写了主人公一家的拮据生活。“家里样样都要节省，有人请吃饭是从来不敢答应的，以免回请。买日用品也是常常买减价的。”这闲闲的两笔让读者深刻的了解了主人公的家庭状况。等读者了解了主人公的家庭状况，作者笔锋一转：“但是每星期日，我们都要衣冠整齐地到海边栈桥上去散步”从而巧妙的引出了故事的另一个主要人物——于勒。于勒是什么样的人呢一开始他“行为不正、糟蹋钱”，“不仅仅把自己应得的那部分遗产吃得一干二净，还大大占用了我父亲应得的那一部分。”于是人们按照当时的惯例，把他送到美洲去。请注意，那里作者用了“惯例”一词，这暗示了当时社会中人们普遍的金钱关系。之后呢于勒来信说他赚liuxue86.了点钱，于是，“大家都认为分文不值的于勒，一下子成了正直的人、有良心的人”。大家每一天都在盼望着于勒归来。前后比较之强烈，人们之间以金钱维系的亲情可见一斑。再之后，因为二姐的婚事，一家人要到哲尔赛岛游玩。作者写一家人很自然的上船、很自然的想吃牡蛎，在“自然”中一步一步慢慢地将故事推向了高潮——父亲发现那个穷苦的卖牡蛎的年老水手竟然是他们日日夜夜盼望着的于勒!读到那里，相信每个人都会为之惊讶。但是，这种结果既是意料

之外，也是情理之中的。最后，“我们回来的时候改乘圣玛洛船，以免再遇见他”。菲利普夫妇对于勒的“盼”、“赞”立即转为“怕”、“躲”，让人读来又增添一丝失落和对当时人们金钱关系的失望。

这篇文章没有深奥的主题、复杂的情节，而是用平淡、自然地语言叙述简单的故事。但是其中一些看似简单的细节描述却尖锐的讽刺了人们的金钱关系。例如：当于勒据说赚了大钱的时候，菲利普太太说“这个好心的于勒”，“他真是个有办法的人”;当他又成了穷光蛋的时候，这位太太立刻把他说成了“这个东西”，“这个贼”，“有办法的人”立刻成了“决不会有出息的”。在情节发展方面，作者的笔调也是平淡的，不慌不忙地慢慢展开叙述，丝毫不见刻意的铺垫，却让读者的心无法平静下来，必须要一口气把这篇文章读完不可。这两点，是我最为欣赏的。我的叔叔于勒读后感总之，《我的叔叔于勒》是一篇平淡而极精巧的、值得玩味的文章。

Beowulf is the oldest poem in the English language and the most important specimen of Anglo-Saxon literature.The main stories are based on the folk legends of the primitive northern tribes.

Beowulf is the nephew of king of the Geats who lives in Denmark. He defeated the monster, which raided the hall built by the king of the Danes. Later on, Beowulf becomes king of the Geats. He at last dies a heroic death.

It is a pagan poem, which presents us an all-round picture of the tribal society.

《 Float 》 , is my favorite book.Like the beauty of si brave strong, like the rui especially of tactful is resolute, like the outside of the meilanrui soft inside just.

For the beauty of si this person thing, my felling is self-contradict, is to dislike the but again and have to respect and admire her.She is a person for having the character very much, loving two men in her whole life, but she didnt an is an understanding of.If she understands the rare gift of a, that she will not love him;If she understands the rui especially, that she will not lose him.She always is to be ungrateful to the rui especially of, she is just not to stop the rare gift of prince- a who make track for oneselfs in a dream.She is just to think the characteristics that loves by herself that the rare gift of a have, she just does a gorgeous clothes, letting rare gift of a put on, being in love with him and then.But fact is, she love just that clothes.

For her, I am to have to admire of, admire her strong, admire her to the persist of land, admire her ability under the education that that in environment under let go of before be subjected to the farmland stem live, admiring the speech that she can neglect the society but founding own business.Her life contain a few souls, an is her mother.His mother is a madam with expensive very able and gentle and soft typical model, is the person who she respect and admire most .But, mother typhoid for saving the person but ising infect, die.Another, is her more than ten in the last years favourite of person- a rare gift.Her ability stands up in the adverse circumstances, have very greatly a part of reason is a rare gift of a .She the rare to a gift persists unusually.Still have a, is the meilanli .More than ten years that struggle together in, the meilanli has already become her life in the indispensability of a part.

I feel that the beauty of si is like a child, persisting to the thing that oneself want unusually, but to the thing that oneself own but disdain to on attend to.An at try very hard to make the oneself happy, a push the happiness to leave constantly again, push the lover toward abyss.

The beauty of si is loving is a rare gift of a , but,a rare gift but dont want her.Be like the rui to especially say of, the rare gift of a is a gentleman, just wasing born in an and he inharmonious ages.He still uses the rules of the game of the old world life, will bump only rejection.The beauty of si doeses not understand the a to hope the gift, so she loves him, think that exhausted whole wayses get him, but when she recognize pure he, she did not love him any further.

The beauty of si is a contradictory body, can have again who not is a contradictory body?She is in the life of road up all the way walk, be when she face the difficulty, she chooses the accolade, be when she face the responsibility, she chooses to carry, can be she face loving choice is, at first, he choose to hoodwink the oneself, being her to recognize finally pure, to face, but is already the hour already late.But she, at incapable is a dint, will tell the oneself, tomorrow is new day, everythings will like tomorrow, the Tomorrow is another day.She is all an in the whole story full of fire, be filled with the person of the will to fight.I enjoy most of, would be her this" Tomorrow is another day.".Was filled with the hope forever, be filled with the will to fight, can never give up, can never despair.This spirit, the most worthy of I study.So, whenever I meet the difficulty, mood not good, I will tell the oneself then:" Tomorrow is another day.".The another in book make the female that me admire very, would be the meilanli .She is an outside soft inside just of female, she almost owned the whole virtue that female can own.Positive if the rui especially says of, she is a that a handful of expensive madam that he saw win.She is strong, she is patriotic, she uses her heart love nearby all people.When her husband fight, she silent in the rear guard the hon, do the business of her what lies in ones power, be the north guy to beat in the city and she again soon about to deliver child, she still the town settle, being the next stem of the her body infirmity and nobodies to live soon didnt When the rice eat, she similar to beauty of si , let go of past education for be subjected to and sense of superiorities, trail weak of body next stem live, be she see the beauty of si kill a north guy, she did not be rattled, but help to bury the corpse, searching the money, wiping the blood stain, being the war finally end, north guy soldier whom she hate bitterly before arriving at her door request to look after and themselves also have no excessive food, she still fulfil her ability the ground helped them, because she hopes to also have the north guy woman of a good heart afar to her just at homing a rice of husband eat.

Such strong female, the but again is a such gentleness kind and considerate.She persists the ground to believe the rare gift of beauty of si and as, even someone see with own eyes they hug together, also persisting the ground to believe them, protection si beauty.She knows perfectly well pain and sufferings that own body cant bear again to grow, but persist the ground to want to hope the gift to give birth to a child for the a again, end leave she loved the close relatives of the lifetime.

Is really too great, looking at themeilanli, make me thought of much more Chinese ancient times females of, they are also such dociles, work hard in spite of criticism, assist husband and bring up children, then silent unknownly old go to and depart from this life.

In the whole book, I is a rui for the person that like most especially.He is brave and persists, he can love the beauty of si so and deeply for more than ten years constant.He wants to protect the beauty of si , the doter si beauty, look after the beauty of si, let her everything feel happy, but the beauty of si refused.He says, again the time that eternal love also will dub out, but his love, drive beauty of si, drive rare gift of a , was dub out by the adherence that the si beauty is stupid of.His heart, die.When his daughter leaves him, his heart, return any further not to come.He says, he has always been to have no that patience shear the ground pants and sew and like, then tells the oneself this is similar to lately, just deceive yourself as well as others.Ground is ground, return and dont go to any further, even make allies, the top still stays the crack, is not originally any further that.

---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.
