+ 加入清单我早知道《三国演义》是四大名著之一,当我拿到这本名著后,就如饥似渴地读完了。
这本书讲述了从东汉灵帝元年(公元184年)黄巾起义开始,直到武帝太康元年西晋统一,期间近百年的历史故事。展现了东汉末年黄巾起义的发生与被镇压的过程,集中描绘了魏蜀吴三个政治集团之间的夺取政权,统一中国而展开的政治,军事,外交斗争。
书中描写的人物众多且十分生动形象,个个鲜活的人物都打动了我,我挺喜欢张飞的,他高八尺,豹子头,圆眼睛,满腮钢须,他的声音亮如洪钟,威势如奔马,书中描写张飞曾在战场上大吼一声,震倒敌方一员武将,可见张飞的勇猛。
除了武将张飞外,我也喜欢关羽。他九尺高,丹凤眼,两条卧蚕眉,胸前长须飘飘,印象最深的.是他的一张红脸,就想红枣一样。据说关羽开始的时候并不是红脸,有一次他受了箭伤,华佗为动手术为他刮骨疗毒,他一边下棋,一边疗伤,直至最后手术全部做完,由于古代麻醉技术不好,关羽忍痛绷脸时间太长,从此就变成了红脸。
小说里,我最喜欢的还是诸葛亮,又叫孔明,人称卧龙先生,身长八尺,面如冠玉,头戴纶巾,身披鹤氅,手执羽扇,飘飘然,犹如神仙下凡般。他足智多谋,是智慧的化身。
这本书不仅人物描写得好,故事情节也设计得很好。我最喜欢描写赤壁之战的章节了。赤壁之战分三个环节写的:“草船借箭”“周瑜打黄盖”“火杀赤壁”。周瑜火烧赤壁,张飞和关羽围追堵截,曹操拥兵几十万最后只剩三百,足见当时战争的惨烈。
我喜欢这本书。
篇2:关于《简爱》的英语读后感
全文共 5000 字
+ 加入清单The novel is rich in poetry, symbolism and metaphor. It does not fit easily into a definite pattern, being neither a novel of "manners" in the tradition of Austen, or a straightforward Gothic Romance in the style of Mrs Radcliffe. What Charlotte Bronte did was to create a work which cleverly blends elements of the two styles, and which remains uniquely independent of them at the same time, since it addresses issues which were at the time rather controversial.
The novel is written in the first person, and thus magnifies the central character - the reader enters the world of Jane Eyre and is transported through her experiences at first hand. This at once makes the work subjective, especially since we know that Charlottes Brontes own life and experiences were so closely interwoven with the heroines. As well as this we learn only at the end of the novel that the events are being related to us ten years after the reconciliation with Rochester - thus the narrative is RETROSPECTIVE (looking back). CB is clever in blending the narrative so that at times Jane seems to be speaking as an adult with adult hindsight , while at others she she is "in the middle" of them, as a child or young woman. The indecision which is a central issue in the book, is heightened by this device. We never know, as readers, whether to be entirely trustful of Janes actions and thoughts, because we are never sure wheher she is speaking impulsively or maturely.
This intensifies the readers dilemma as to what is "right" and "wrong" in the dramatic relationships which are part of JEs life. Can we believe what the heroine says, or is she deceiving herself? The novel is primarily a love story and a "romance" where wishes come true but only after trials and suffering. The supernatural has its place, as do dreams, portents and prophesies. The heroine begins poor and lonely and ends up rich and loved; the orphan finds a good family to replace the wicked one; all the basic ingredients of classic romantic fairytale are present.
The romantic element is present in two forms in Jane Eyre; the "family" aspect is dealt with in the Gateshead, Lowood and Moor House episodes, which involve the exchanging of the wicked Reed family for the benevolent Rivers one; and the Love romance is dealt with in the Thornfield and Ferndean episodes. Both aspects are, of course linked and interwoven throughout the novel.
There is also a strong element of realism in the novel, which, married to the romantic aspect, enhances the novels strength.The sense of place is very strong; we are able to experience both exterior and interior settings with startling clarity throughout the story, in a series of vivid deive passages. The central characters are also realistic and their confrontations and sufferings change them in a believable way.
Even the unlikely is made plausible, with a unique blend of high drama and perceptive low comedy (the attack on Mason, for instance)
The more fantastic romantic aspects; the coincidences; the secrets; the supernatural occurrences, are balanced by the realism, and this is of course a major strength.
The Gothic influence cannot be ignored, although CB has refined the technique considerably from the "authentic" Gothic of the 1790s. In the original genre, the heroine would typically be abducted and threatened with seduction, or worse!. There would be a lover - a respectable, well-bred young man - who would endeavor to rescue the heroine and would succeed after many trial. the seducer would be a brigand "Know that I adore Corsairs!" and he would lock the girl up in a remote castle.
There was little freedom for middle class women during the period of the Gothic novel, and this was still the case in the time of CB. Marriage especially was often a bargain, whereby fortunes were secured by using the female as a pawn. A womans value largely depended therefore on her sexual purity and she was guarded and secured as a result. Men, on the contrary, were potent and free; lovers and mistresses were common. Ironically the women who provided their services were social outcasts as a result.
In Jane Eyre we see elements of the Gothic romance, in that Thornfield Hall and Rochester are described very much in the brigand/castle style BUT Jane Eyre is not abducted by R. On the contrary she chooses to go there of her own free will. AND she is clear in her determination to have Rochester as a husband. Neither is there a gentleman rescuer; St John Rivers may look like a Greek God, but he is neither kind nor benevolent; driving Jane back to Ferndean, not rescuing her from it.
The trials which the hero is supposed to undergo in a Gothic romance are in fact undergone by the heroine in Jane Eyre. The bandit Rochester is only skin-deep. Underneath the brooding exterior is a sensitive soul, which a WOMAN frees. In this way we see that CB created rather a daring departure from conventional fiction, although there are still many aspects of the novel which remain true to Victorian convention.!

篇6:《德伯家的苔丝》英语读后感
全文共 4299 字
+ 加入清单She was seduced by a so-called gentleman—Alec, and from then on her life totally changed from this loss of innocence. People looked down on her and respected her no more. Actually she did nothing wrong because before she was seduced she knew nothing of men. She was just a girl when she first met that terrible man.
She was forced by the gossips and the church to blame herself for this accident, so she thought she deserved nothing good. In order to get rid of the past she decided to go to a distant dairy farm but was still saying to herself that she was wrong. Maybe God didn’t aGREe with that, because the Lord gave her someone she loved with her whole heart and life—Angel Chare. Angel popped the question to her but she refused him without saying why. She said she loved him deeply and perhaps no one in the world could love him more than she did but she could not marry him for some unspoken reason. Angel wasn’t satisfied with this vague answer and did his best to win Tess. Somehow she agreed and they soon fixed the wedding day. Soon after their wedding Angel confessed the crime he committed to a woman long time ago and asked for Tess’s forgiveness. Tess was not at all angry and forgave Angel at once; in fact she was rather happy and excited for she also had things to confess.
She sat and told everything to Angel, hoping he would forgive her as he was forgiven but she was wrong. She was not forgiven, not as she thought she was. The woman pays.
Without Angel’s love, nothing meant anything to her. The result wasn’t important now. Tess was arrested for her murder of that so-called gentleman. Why? She still loved Angel and when he finally went back to her and asked for HER forgiveness, after he reGREtted what he had done unfair to Tess, she was desperate. That was too late—Alec had always told Tess that Angel would never come back so he won Tess’s trust. Unluckily Angel did come back and found Tess.! Everything was too late!
Tess was deceived and she lost Angel for the second time! The strengh of her love was so strong that she had forgotten the difference between right and wrong. Before that she had done nothing wrong but when she killed Alec, everything really changed! She became a criminal! How could it be? She was as pure and innocent as the good wife in the Bible. Her whole character was honest and faithful. Angel figured out at last that a person should be judged not only on what he has done but also on what he wanted to do!
Tess didn’t want to be seduced by man and she had no power to defend herself so she lost her innocence and that’s all! Angel also did the wrong thing and it was even more serious than Tess’s crime but HE was not blamed for it. Why it is always the woman who pays? Why they are always hurt? Why was Tess’s girlish purity lost? Why does the wrong man take the wrong woman? Why do the bad often ruin the good? Why is beauty damaged by ugliness? Women are too weak! Thousands of years of history have shown us that women have always been treated unfairly!
In old China there was a culture, which didn’t think of women as human beings. If you asked one if he was the oldest in his family, he would probably answer “the oldest one” even if he had some elder sisters. If you asked why then he would say, “Ha, they are not included!”
People gave birth to many girls in order to have only one boy to keep the family name going. They thought girls had no use for the family. They would be married and go to live with their husbands’ home and be their wives some day sooner or later. So they were extremely hard on girls.
Girls should be hard working, faithful, loyal, intelligent, and virtuous and the most important thing was she must be a maiden! If her husband was the first man who touched her then she was a good girl, a good wife no matter how she thought. If she wasn’t, then she would gain a very bad reputation and nobody would dare to go near her. What about men? People did not care whether he was an experienced man or not, nor did they care about his character. They thought man equals power and power equals rights…
Now let’s not be so bitter. Nowadays women’s situations have become much better. Some are because of the change of society and some are because of civilization. Just let those poor painful women like TESS be just a memory.
篇7:《羊脂球》英语读后感
全文共 4266 字
+ 加入清单Guy de Maupassant(18501893), one of the greatest critical realist writers in the world, is considered as one of three kings of world short story。 Maupassant created six novels and 359 medium forms during his brief lifetime, engendering a momentous effect on the later literature. And it’s his maiden work, Suet Ball that won him world-wide prestige.
In1870, with the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War, the real-based story Suet Ball happened. The heroine of the story is a humble harlot called Suet Ball. With a group of French residents of Rouen, recently occupied by the Prussian army, the 11 travelers are on their way fleeing to Le Havre in a stagecoach. In virtue of the appalling weather, the stagecoach moves rather slowly and has just covered a few miles by midday. Initially, those occupants snub Suet Ball whereas their attitudes alters with the emergence of a basket filled with scrumptious food and she caters for those hungry travelers selflessly.
The carriage doesn’t stop until they blunders into a Prussian-held territory called T?tes. A Prussian officer detains the coach with no definite reasons. In the next two days, the occupants wait with barely concealed impatience and eventually Suet Ball tells that they will be detained perpetually unless she approves of sleeping with the officer. Out of her patriotism, Suet Ball gives him a point-blank refusal. As it should be, those travelers behave furiously to the officer"s arrogance while during the next two days, they exemplify logic and morality in diverse ways to convince Suet Ball of its validity. What a kind-hearted girl! Finally Suet Ball gives up and sacrifices her body for everyone’s freedom.
The next morning, they are permitted to leave. But those "representatives of Virtue" totally neglect Suet Ball, casting scathing sights on the poor young woman while even disdaining talking to her and rejecting sharing their food with her in the same way that she did at the beginning. From their perspectives, Suet Ball turns out to be no more utilizable and should be condemned for her ashamed conduct. As the stagecoach travels deeper into the night, she seethes with rage against those hypocrites, and ultimately weeps for her lost dignity.
In this story, Maupassant highlighted the intense comparison between Suet Ball and the so-called nobles. Rapacity, hypocrisy, sexuality and nobility intertwine in the spotlight,eulogizing the underclass’ patriotism and lampooning the sham of the aristocracy. Maupassant portrays the inhabitants of the stagecoach in varied disparaging ways. The most luminous character belongs to the two nuns. At first they are portrayed as tranquil and subservient to Lord and demonstrate their fiery patriotic desire to dedicate to their motherland rather than a sordid intention like the other passengers: the nuns profess to haste to a military hospital to heal the wounded French soldiers, hence presenting the argument towards instigating Suet Ball to abandon her resistance. How absurd it is! Nuns are supposed to take strait vows and treat others benevolently. They fill Suet Ball"s head with arguments, arguing that it is not morally wrong to sleep with the officer in order to let the travelers leave, and that the longer she waits, the more young French soldiers will die as the nuns are not there to look after them. Superficially, they claim that it is for the good of the country but indeed they’re just taking advantage of her. Suet Ball"s resistance to the officer"s sexual advances again indicate her patriotism. Cruel wars have stripped all the external stuffs. In contrast to all of these is Suet Ball, a prostitute, revealed to be the most fiercely patriotic, virtuous, and morally admirable character, which Maupassant contrasts with the hypocrisy and snobbery of the others.
It is arguably Maupassant’s most famous short story. The carriage constitutes a microcosm of French society as a whole. And the narrative techniques of this story are rather sophisticated and carefully conceived. On balance, a real noble person like Suet Ball can’t be judged by the appearance or the occupation, his/ her moral quality will glitter when confronting the real ordeal. Consequently, I deem that Suet Ball is worth reading lingeringly, savoring every word.
篇8:《傲慢与偏见》读后感1000字
全文共 1289 字
+ 加入清单奥斯丁的《傲慢与偏见》曾被毛姆列入世界十大名著小说的行列,这样称确乎没有过甚其辞。奥斯丁的这部小说堪称得上是上乘之作,它以理性的光芒照出了感伤、哥特小说的矫揉造作,使之失去容身之地,从而为英国十九世纪30年代现实小说高潮的到来扫清了道路。
《傲慢与偏见》虽以青年男女的恋爱婚姻为题材,但从中也折射出当年严格的封建礼仪制度,提出了道德和行为的规范问题。小说以男女主人公的爱情纠葛为主线,描写了四起大起大落的姻缘,尤其以达西的傲慢与伊丽莎白的偏见为突出,但随着各自的完善,达西的傲慢收敛了起来,伊丽莎白的偏见也荡然无存,两人最终还是走到了一起,无疑是小说中最精彩的喜剧之一。
初读这部小说,难免察觉有些许枯燥无味,作者的词藻并非十分华丽,但却平易见人;情节也并非跌宕起伏,但却处处伏笔。可毕竟是一部经典名著,总是少不了精彩过人之处,于是便按捺住性子读下去,越发地感受到其诱惑力的所在。
钱不是万能的,但没钱是万万不能的。小说这句话的表现得淋漓尽致。夏洛特与柯林斯首先走到一起,令所有人瞠目结舌。其实是夏洛特看上了柯林斯所拥有的财富罢了。两人虽过得安稳,但毕竟缺少了乐趣。在那时的社会甚至是当今社会,钱无疑成了每个人不可或缺的成分,人们无时无刻不在为着自己的利益着想,殊不知这样一来,“铁公鸡”、“守财奴”等这些词,倒给自己沾上了。一个人活着是为了享受乐趣,而不是为了各自的利益而尔虞我诈、勾心斗角,如此做累,又何苦呢?
天涯何处无芳草,何必单恋一枝花。莉迪亚终究还是没意识到这一点,她与威克姆的姻缘可堪称得上是最荒.唐的结局,两人婚后的情淡意薄有力地证实了看人不能仅看外貌。一个人的外貌固然重要,但若克制不住自己,到处沾花惹草,结局想必是岌岌可危的了;亦或是被表面的假象所迷惑,没有深入了解他人的内心,可折射出此人是浅陋无知、缺乏主见的。我们希望有简一样的貌美如花,希望有威克姆一样的可爱迷人,但我们更需要有简一样的善良、沉着、冷静。
有时候的放弃,只是为了更好地得到。宾利与简的婚姻皆大欢喜,两人想见的曲折道路,都给彼此立起珍惜眼前人的标牌。简在得知宾利不辞而别之后,并未把痛苦之情溢于言表,而是学着去放下,这种可贵的做法值得我们学习。生活中,我们要学会放弃“芝麻”,才会得到原本想要的“西瓜”;学习上,学会放弃难题与纠结,才会顾全大局。正所谓 放弃,你才会更好地得到。愿你能明白其中深意。
不要因为别人的一言一行而改变自己想要追求的。达西与伊丽莎白最后喜结良缘,这是令所有人都不敢相信的事实。当初的伊丽莎白对达西的偏见可称得上深恶痛疾,达西的傲慢也是显而易见的。但达西敢于向与众不同的伊丽莎白倾诉衷肠,出手帮伊丽莎白处理莉迪亚的事;伊丽莎白也敢于拒绝达西的心意,毫不留情指骂达西的过错,敢于反抗贵族的压迫。这是小说中最值得赞扬的一对角色,他们都不因别人的一言一行,而即刻放弃想要追求的。生活中,有些时候,我们不必因为别人的话语,而放弃自己的观点。有些事情,自己觉得正确,就大胆地做。毕竟,在那一刻,你没有后悔……
当然,书中的封建礼仪制度也是值得读者去了解,去深究的一隅,在此,就不多说了。

篇10:《朝花夕拾》读后感小学作文400字
全文共 447 字
+ 加入清单我手捧鲁迅先生的《朝花夕拾》,品味着从字里行间透漏出的年少时的童真,神思似乎也飘向那些曾经属于我们的逍遥日子。
《朝花夕拾》这本脍炙人口的巨作,正同于它的名字一样,是鲁迅先生在中年写下的回忆录。老了,累了,回味起童年时的点点滴滴,心中还是会有当初的味道,想必别有一番滋味吧。清晨绽放的鲜花有了晨曦会显得更加娇艳,到了夕阳西下时分去摘取,虽失去了刚刚盛开时的娇艳与芳菲,晚霞的照射却使它平添了一种风韵,那若有若无的清香在风的导送下让人浮想联翩,像是在尝一道佳肴,细细咀嚼,幼年时童真的味道留在心头,慢慢漾开。
鲁迅现实的童年并不乏味。他怀念在百草园无忧无虑的日子,与小动物为伍,仿佛这样的童年才够精彩。趁大人们一愣神,以神不知鬼不觉的速度钻进百草园。油蛉在这里低唱,蟋蟀也来伴奏。鲁迅的童年似乎是在首大自然圆舞曲中度过的。
枯燥,乏味。是对鲁迅先生在三味书屋生活的最好的诠释。稍稍偷懒一会儿,也会被寿镜吾老先生的一句:“人都到哪里去了?”喊回来。整天除了读书还是读书十分无趣。这就是读《朝花夕拾》有感。

In this article, the hero that gatsby is a unique thought of the people, he also have Platonic love. He put himself as the son of god, he thought he should be gods career service, his pursuit of a "vast, secular, ostentation of beauty", obviously he imagine himself become Christs character. Seventeen, he decided to change name, from the original James gates to jay gatsby, jay gatsby is said to be English Jesus, God ` s boy pronunciation variation. But the irony is that, from the moment he changed his name, he began to pursue the so-called beauty and kindness, also began his tragic life. He saw Daisy buchanan as he pursues the incarnation of beauty. When he saw her, he knew that she had put his ideal and his life together. He knew his heart to heart with god, must be single-minded, never heart side wu chi. When he kissed her for the first time, "she is just like a flower bloom for him, and the embodiment of this ideal is done." On Daisy, gatsbys dream became flesh and blood. He desire and Daisy together to realize their dreams.
However, Daisy cannot act as the role. She is a just a miss the bourgeoisie for the highest goal in life, no thoughts, there is no sentiment, shallow false, bored, nothing to do. She never to realize gates than his dream to sacrifice their own vested interests. While gatsby himself could not achieve their dreams, of course, his idea is too unreal. He and Daisys husband Tom buchanan possess wealth, the difference between two people is at least he used his wealth to pursue a kind of "beauty", and try my best to get it. However, he didnt win it, finally, George Wilson, is Toms mistresss husband in Daisy couple killed gatsby conspired and egged. His dream completely shattered. Gatsbys failure is the fundamental reason is that he did the "American dream" has been out of date, his opportunity had little s dream come true.
I felt sorry for gatsby, he is so single-minded, but in the end was hurt by their favorite woman. Of course he is praiseworthy in some places. He can read the love is beautiful, and not like most people associate love and interests. But he really misled by his ideal, he did not see time and occasion, he shouldnt be on the right people also is reluctant to part with the past memories after married. And Daisy this person too vain, too greedy. To some extent, gates than the final fate has a lot to do with her.
《了不起的盖茨比》是一本在上文学上怀有“美国梦”的作家菲茨杰拉德的作品,菲茨杰拉德认为他自己与众不同,与他的父母也不同,甚至不认为自己是父母的儿子,他拥有来自于柏拉图式的自我观念。
在这篇文章中,主人公即盖茨比就是一种自认为与众不同的人,他同样拥有柏拉图式的爱情观。他把自己看成是上帝之子,他认为自己应为上帝的事业效劳,他追求一种“博大的,世俗的,虚饰的美”,显然他把自己想象成为基督一样的人物。十七岁的他决定改名,由原来的詹姆斯·盖茨改为杰伊·盖茨比,据说杰伊·盖茨比是英语Jesus, God`s boy 发音的变体。但是具有讽刺意味的是,从他改名那一刻起,他开始追求所谓的美和善,也就开始了他的人生悲剧。他把黛西·布坎南视为他追求的那种美的化身。当他见到她时,他知道她已经把他的理想与他的生命气息结合在一起了。他知道他的心要与上帝的心一样,必须专一,绝不可驰心旁骛。当他第一次亲吻她时,“她就像一朵鲜花一样为他绽放,于是这个理想的化身就完成了。”在黛西身上,盖茨比的梦想变得有血有肉。他企求与黛西联袂来实现自己的梦想。
但是,黛西根本无力担任这个角色。她不过是一个一项了为人生最高目标的资产阶级小姐,没有思想,没有情操,浅薄虚假,百无聊赖,无所事事。她绝不可能为实现盖茨比自己的梦想去牺牲自己的既得利益。而盖茨比自己当然不可能实现自己的梦想,他的想法太过虚幻。他和黛西的丈夫汤姆·布坎南都拥有财富,两人的不同之处是他至少用他的财富去追求一种“美”,并竭尽全力去得到它。然而,他没有赢得它,最后,乔治·威尔逊,也就是汤姆的情妇的丈夫在黛西夫妇的合谋和挑唆下杀死了盖茨比。他的梦想彻底破灭了。盖茨比的失败就其根本原因是他做的那个“美国梦”已过时了,他所处的年代梦想成真的机会已经微乎其微。
我自己为盖茨比感到惋惜,他如此专一,但最终被自己喜欢的女子所害。当然他有些地方是值得称赞的。他能够把爱情看得很美,而没有像大多数人一样把爱情和利益联系起来。不过他确实被自己的理想所误导,他没有看清时间与场合,他不该在心仪人已婚后还对过去美好回忆恋恋不舍。而黛西这个人太爱慕虚荣,太过于贪心。从某种程度上讲,盖茨比最终的下场跟她有很大的关系。
篇12:《麦田里的守望者》读后感
全文共 1276 字
+ 加入清单我是在一个闲暇的下午,将《麦田里的守望者》看完的。
初读时大为不解,它颠覆了我对名著和经典的印象。在我想来,这样一部名盛不衰的作品,这样一本描写青少年生活的经典,大概写的是那些朦胧或者是悲伤的故事吧。而语言即便不是字字珠玑,也是优美动人的吧。
然而,它却直白,粗俗。无论是写撒谎,约会,退学,甚至打架。都是用平白而直接的方式陈述。哪怕是写悲伤,也只是一句:我哭了。
曾经说自己不喜欢新生代的那些作家,及小说中出现的无休止的脏话(尽管此前疯狂得热爱韩寒),而现在,我却读它。
因为它曾畅销美国,作者塞格林则被称作“隐者”,于是我还是怀着好奇心将它看完。
一个倒戴红色鸭嘴帽的16岁美国中学生霍尔顿,他曾四次被勒令退学,好一个典型!其实,他并非无恶不作的,只是有些愤世疾俗,有些挣扎,有些茫然而不知所措的少年。他憎恨虚伪于是排斥学校,却又无法接受愚蠢的人们和肮脏的社会。他厌恶所有。
天地之大,他却无法容身。他离家出走,醉生梦死在纽约街头,游荡在歌厅舞厅,做着本不属于这个年龄的事情。为了麻醉自己,试图逃离,最终只是回归本分。
你问他想做写什么吧,他说:有这么一群孩子,他们玩耍在那么一大片麦田里,附近却没有一个大人——除了我。而我就守在悬崖边,我的任务是站在那守望,如果有哪个孩子向这边奔来,我就立刻拦住他们,我是说他们都在奔跑,也不知道往哪跑。我就干这样的事,只想做个麦田里的守望着。
我发现他是善良的,他的想法很简单。然而,我觉得他说的孩子是否是指他呢,这么个瞬间使我觉得他就是那个即将奔向悬崖的孩子。
如果真有那么一天,站在悬崖边守望的,又是谁呢?
书中这个典型的霍尔顿,让我觉得似曾相识,和我们正好相仿。有时彷徨,有时不知所措,经常会问这样的问题:念书是为了什么?有人失败,有人成功,有人努力却得不到回报。于是开始抱怨,愤恨一切。
于是有人说:他们堕落了!
他们回答:不是不想努力,曾经也是那么有希望,而当希望落空,就什么也没有了。最终究竟为了什么。
记得初三,老师对我们说:不允许你们去想读书为了什么,只要去做,就不必问为什么,这样虚无的问题只会使人更加空虚。如果觉得抓住一根唯一的救命稻草都觉得是种束缚,那么可以选择另一种更惨烈的收尾:下坠。
于是他对我们说:如果拯救不了别人,那么先救自己。如果我们连独善其身的能力也没有,谈何去帮助别人?
也因此,我更喜欢霍尔顿的妹妹,她天真无邪,优秀美丽,她对哥哥真挚的爱,使拿出自己紧有的几块钱做为哥哥去西部旅费。在她身上我看到了光,一种萌动希望之光。那样的洁净,似乎世界上一切污染都与她无关。在那样一个肮脏的社会,她却一直保持一个纯洁,善良的心灵。她的童心使她肯去坐破旧的旋转木马,回忆儿时和哥哥们在一起的欢笑,提着行装想要和哥哥一起走。
无法推测作者对于这样一个人物的安排有什么目的。只是让我不禁想起《希特勒的名单》中那个黑白画面中出现的唯一一簇色彩——穿着红色衣服的女孩。真是有异曲同工之妙呢。
于是,时常幻想着这样的画面:
在那金黄色的麦田中,我们尽情地狂奔,仿佛是田野中的精灵,创造着属于我们的梦。而我们很安全,悬崖边有人守望。
篇13:《三国演义》读后感小学优秀作文400字
全文共 432 字
+ 加入清单《三国演义》是我最喜欢的一本书,特别是对照苏轼在《赤壁怀古》中写的“大江东去,浪淘尽,千古风流人物。”再回头重看关于诸葛亮、曹操、关羽等的描写,更是觉得大有看头,越看越有味道,我真是爱不释手。
我最喜欢的章节是赤壁大战中的草船借箭。刘备和周瑜那边缺箭,就请诸葛亮来帮忙。诸葛亮对天文地理,无所不精。他胸有成竹,大大方方地立下了军令状。要了二十艘快船,船的四边都扎满了稻草人,向着曹军的北岸进发。曹军的一位大将军看到长江上雾气弥漫,朦朦胧胧中开来了一列战船,又战鼓阵阵,杀声震天,以为是孙刘联军趁雾偷袭,连忙大叫:“放箭!”诸葛亮立刻让军士把船横过来,一字排开。于是几千几万支箭纷纷扬扬地扎进了稻草人中。诸葛亮和鲁肃却在船舱里喝酒偷着乐。等右边稻草人扎满了,又掉转船头,让曹军射箭扎左边的稻草人。全都装满了,诸葛亮和鲁肃哈哈大笑,扬长而去。
这个故事说明诸葛亮足智多谋,深谙天文气象。我长大一定要像诸葛亮那么能干。可是当我读到诸葛亮死了时,眼泪都要出来了,久久不能平静。

话说天下大势,分久必合,合久必分。今天,我就来为大家推荐一本好书,那就是无人不知,无人不晓的《三国演义》。
本书主要讲了魏蜀吴三国争霸的故事,书中的每篇故事都令人沉醉其中,流连忘返。写的人物栩栩如生,至今我的眼前还不时浮现出战场上的刀光剑影。当我读到诸葛亮草船借箭这篇文章时,我被诸葛亮的智慧和勇气给征服了。诸葛亮利用曹操谨慎多疑的性格特点,在大雾天气前去向曹操借箭可见他有勇有谋,无人能比呀。从中联想到了一件事,有一次妈妈让我去写作业,可是我却一直在看电视,根本没有把妈妈的话放在心上,这时妈妈走过来对我说:“你知道诸葛亮是谁吗?”我不以为然的回答到:“诸葛亮嘛,那谁不知道,他不就是三国时期最厉害最聪明的那个人嘛”,妈妈说:“对,可是你知道他为什么那么聪明?”妈妈问的我顿时我哑口无言,这时妈妈语重心长的对我说:“诸葛亮这么聪明,全都是靠他小时候勤奋学习得来的。你现在要好好学习,长大做一个对国家有用的人”,听了妈妈的话,我羞愧万分。
我读到的最精彩的部分是黄盖军队向曹操投降,可曹操千算万算,也没有想到他们的船上装是易燃品,等黄盖的船一靠近就被一把火点燃了。曹军惊惶失措,被烧死淹死的都有。当曹操逃往旱寨时,竟也被烧了。之后曹操依次被赵云张飞追杀,幸好遇到重情如山的关羽时才捡回一条命。
读完这本书后,我认识了神机妙算的诸葛亮,诡计多端的周瑜,有恩必报的关羽,勇猛正直的刘备等英雄人物,他们一心为国效力,救万民于水火之中。
要是我能穿越回去该多好呀!那样我岂不是也能参与到那紧张激烈、令人窒息的战斗中去了吗?
《三国演义》中刻画的人物形形色色,现在回想起来,面前还能浮现出那一张鲜活的面孔。
还在等什么,快随着我的步伐,去探索三国的奥秘吧!

篇16:《简爱》英语读后感
全文共 5335 字
+ 加入清单After reading Jane Eyre, I think Jane Eyre is a great woman. Through a serious of troublesome situations between Jane Eyre and Mr. Rochester, the author set up a great female image before readers: insisting on maintaining an independent personality, pursuing individual freedom, advocating equality of life and being confident before hard conditions.
Her early life at Gateshead was terrible, everyone seems harsh on her. She survives her parents at an early age, and has to live with her ugly aunt and three cousins. She suffers large quantities of bad conditions that others may not experience. However, she does not give up in despair, she does not destroy herself mentally, instead, Jane Eyre is filled with unlimited confidence, and she is a strong spirit, a victory over the inner personality.
She is then forced to send to Lowood Institution, unfortunately, life there turns out to be terrible, too. She is still under physical and spiritual punishment. Mr Brocklehurst insults her to be a liar before all pupils and teachers. But there she meets one sincere friend Helen Burns and one sincere teacher Miss Temple. They always treat her well. She then behaves very well and get many people’s recognition. Six years later, she makes a teacher there.
After two years teaching life at Lowood Institution, she plans to leave there to pursuit her own life and happiness. She was in a position of governess through a letter from Thornfield. Her life was totally changed after that. There she met a lovely girl, Adele and her master, Mr. Rochester. She has a special feeling about them. With the development of the plots, Jane Eyre succeed a large sum of money from his uncle, and through all bitter things which was caused by Rochester’s wife in Thornfield, Jane Eyre and Mr.Rockester finally get married and lead an ideal life.
I think Jane Eyre is an autobiography of Charlotte Bronte. Although the story is made up, the heroine and peoples life and the environment in the story were taken from the details of real people around and experience. Charlotte Bronte described a young girl’s struggling life to express her inner thought: everyone is equal regardless of his or her gender. The uniqueness of Jane Eyre is not only lies in its truth and the strong artistic appeal, but also lies in the particular female image. The love story of Rochester and Jane Eyre vividly shows the fire of passion and sincere heart strongly reveals their notions of love. She looks down upon the upper class who only use their power to do what they intend to do and laughs at their stupid to show her independent character and beauty dream.
In the actual fact, she wasn’t pretty, even herself knows that, and of course, the ordinary appearance make others have bad opinion on her, even her own aunt dislike her. And some others even thought that she was easy to look down upon and tease, but she was totally much more than “the plain and ugly tutor”. And as a little governess she said to her master: “Do you think my poor, obscure, plain, and little has led me to be a soulless and heartless person? You have done a wrong thing!”Underneath these lines sees the equality of human in Jane Eyre’s mind. She has affection towards her master, Mr. Rochester, but when she finds that he has already had a wife, she leaves him and her love place without consideration. Although God did not grant her a beauty and wealth person, instead, God gave her a kind mind and a thoughtful brain. Her idea of equality and self-respect impressed us extremely much and make us feel the power inside her small body.
In my mind, a person’s beauty on the face can only make others feel that he or she is attractive or charming, if his or her mind isn’t the same noble as the appearance, beauty of this kind cannot last for a long time, because other people will one day find that the beauty which had charmed them was only a superficial one, it’s not sincere, they will not like the person any more. For a long time, only a person’s great virtue, a noble soul, a beautiful heart can be called as an everlasting beauty, just as Albert Einstein said: “A person must be held accountable for their biological survival or all of the meaning or purpose, from an objective point of view, I think it is ridiculous. Everyone can have a certain ideal, which determines the ideal and his efforts to determine the direction. In this sense, I never easy and the enjoyment of life as an end in itself, the ethical basis of this, I call it the ideal pigsty. I lit up the road, and continue to give me new courage to face up to the pleasure of the ideal life is good and the beautiful and true. If it were not for like-minded between the warm feelings, but focus on the objective world, the arts and sciences in the field of work will never reach the target, and then it seems to me that life would be empty. There are efforts to pursue the goal of the vulgar - property, vanity, luxury living, I think it is despicable.”
Now I get a better understanding of what real beauty is, as we are all human-beings, so we should distinguish whether a man is noble or vulgar.
Jane Eyre’s story makes me thinking about our future life and I learn much from her experiences, I know everyone will have a better tomorrow if one holds his beliefs, regardless of one’s status and the situation he is in.

篇18:《地心游记》读后感
全文共 713 字
+ 加入清单从古至今,有谁去过地心?恐怕没有一个人。那地心是什么样子的?这个问题也只有很少的人知道。所以,有很多小说家和电影导演就开始幻想地心的模样,创下了一部部脍炙人口的作品。著名科幻小说家儒勒·凡尔纳就曾写过关于地心的一个代表作:《地心游记》。
这本书讲的是李登布洛克教授偶然在一本古老的书籍中发现了一封信,信上记载着以前有人曾在冰岛的一个火山口进入地心探险。李登布洛克教授决心也做这样的探险,于是他和他的侄子从德国汉堡出发,来到了冰岛,开始了地心之旅的第一步。
他们找到了向导汉斯,从冰岛的一个火山口向地心挺进。中途遇到了饥饿,迷路,怪兽等各种危险。但他们发现了许多惊人的发现:地下的海,史前人类的骸骨……最终,在一次意外的火山爆发中,他们重新回到了地面。
看完这本书后,我十分赞叹这三个人的冒险精神。他们竟有那么大的勇气去地心探险。有些人可能觉得他们是在做无谓的牺牲,拿生命玩赌博,但是他们的这次地心探险,却得到了许许多多的科学发现,看到了无数人做梦都想看却没有看到的东西。这次历险虽然危险,但是他们经历了许多常人没有经历过的事情,还让自己变得更加坚强,磨砺了自己。
在这个世界上,有很多人喜欢攀岩这项运动。这项运动很危险,尤其在没有保护措施的情况下,一旦摔下来就几乎没有生还的希望。但是,仍然有许多人热衷于这项危险的运动。因为它虽然危险,但当你爬到顶端时,心里会有很大的喜悦。而且更重要的是,你将在攀岩中和爬上顶端时看到许许多多美丽的景色,看到在悬崖上能看到的一切:森林,河流,远处的山脉,飞翔的鸟儿……
我们在生活中也应该有一些探险精神。在写作业时,试试用另一种思路,你会懂得更多。在爬山的时候,试试走另外一条路,你会看到更多。不是吗?

+ 加入清单“烽火连三月,家书抵万金。”书信作为万里相隔的亲人之间维系感情的方式,自古至今有着非同寻常的意义。
这绝不是普通的家书,它是一部最好的艺术学徒修养读物,也是一部充满着父爱的苦心孤诣,呕心沥血的教子篇。
人的自爱其子,也是一种自然规律。人的生命总是有局限的,而人的事业却永远无尽头。通过亲生的儿女,延续自己的生命,也延续与发展一个人为社会,为祖国,为人类所能尽的力量。我们看作者怎样培育他的孩子,从家书中显而易见。在1955年1月26日的信中,作者劝戒孩子如何面对情绪上的跌宕。首先,说明控制情绪的必要,其次,冷静客观的分析前因后果引以为签,从而越来越坚强。十分真切地表达出所有‘过来人“回首”过来事“的心情:苍凉而平静,沉郁而超然。这封信写在儿子取得巨大成功被鲜花与掌声簇拥的时候,激励儿子时刻保持谦卑,不惧怕孤独,要勇于攀登艺术的止境,同时他借儿子成功之机给予他更多,向他昭示出更高的人生境界保持一颗纯洁的”赤子之心“。
读了之后,真为他对人生的如此认真和对子女的如此关爱而感动万分。家书中大到事业人生艺术,小到吃饭穿衣花钱,事无巨细,无不关怀备至。为人父母的可以从中学习到教育子女的方法,学艺术的特别是学钢琴的可以从中学习提高技艺的方法,对解放初期至这段历史感兴趣的朋友也能从作者这位当事人的描述中得到一些了解,而此书中对我印象最深的是加强个人修养。从家信的话语中看出作者是一位对自己要求极严格的人,有些方面甚至有些刻薄自己的味道,作者让儿子立下的三个原则:不说对不起祖国的话、不做对不起祖国的事、不入他国籍。爱子教子的精神令人感动。
这是一部最好的艺术学徒修养读物,也是一部充满着父爱的教子篇,他们夫妇是中国父母的典范,他们苦心孤诣、呕心沥血地培养的两个孩子,使他们先做人、后成"家",独立思考,因材施教等教育思想的成功体现。
有人认为书信是最为真切、自然和诚实的文字。是啊,因为写下的一切文字都是即时即刻的内心所想,思想到哪里,文字就到哪里。给亲人写信更是如此,而且是他敢于剖析自己,在子女面前承认错误,从自身的经历中给出经验和教训。所以,我们读到的应该就是作者自己吧。作者在子女的教育上也是因材施教的,在对儿子音乐上的教育上,原先是强调技巧、而后反复要他能真正领悟作品本身,这也就是凡事多从"为什么"的角度思考问题,从而看到事物的本质。作者在教育子女中自身的思想经历也在不断的提高,在作者身上我们看到的是中西二种文化融合的思想。高尚的父母培养出成功的儿女。作者夫妇一生苦心孤诣,呕心沥血培养的两个孩子,都很有成就。家书中父母的谆谆教诲,孩子与父母的真诚交流,亲情溢于字里行间,给了我强烈的感染启迪。
那么,就从这本书开始吧!它将告诉你所有迈向成功的方法和技巧,帮助你打开财富的智慧之门,开创你辉煌的人生!
篇20:喜福会英语读后感_5300字
全文共 5246 字
+ 加入清单The first time I saw the title of the film, the Joy Luck Club, I thought that it would be a film filed with joy, luck and happiness. However, out of my expectation, in the film, I saw many unpleasant thingsconflicts, hardship, disappointment, sorrow, hurt, torture etc. Of course there were some moving parts, and fortunately, it was a happy ending. Anyway, I enjoyed it very much. It made me have a penetrating thinking.
The Joy Luck Club tells about the conflicts between Chinese immigrant mothers and their American-raised daughters and their struggling to understand each other. The film shows us these topics: the misunderstanding of love between the mothers and the daughters, the clash between the generations and cultures, and the struggle for the women to fight for equity. Now I am going to show you my understanding of them, emphasizing on the first topic.
In many cases, we and those we love are easy to hurt each other because of the misunderstanding of love, the conflicts in generations and culture background, or unconsciousness.
Take Jingmei and her mother Suyuan as an example. When Suyuan demands the little Jingmei to play piano, Jingmei shouts to her mother, You can’t make me! Even Jingmei cried that she wish she isn’t Suyuan’s daughter and Suyuan isn’t her mother, and that she wishes she were the dead like the babies Suyuan abandoned in China. The sad expression on Suyuan’s face indicates that she is hurt deeply by her daughter’s innocent words.
This reminds me of my similar experience. Once I hurt my mother as Jingmei did. I didn’t mean to hurt her, but those wounding words just slip out of my mouth unconsciously. Often, we hate that why our parents don’t know my feelings, why they like to make us be something and totally unaware that what their children are. While the parents don’t know why all their sacrifices to the children can’t be paid off, even incite hatred. Actually, this is the generation gap that causes the misunderstanding. We don’t know the hardship our parents underwent before. They can’t understand what we are thinking. So misunderstandings appear.
Maybe as a child, Jingmei cannot comprehend what her remarks mean to Suyuan, and just want to show her grudge. But another main reason is the different backgrounds of Suyuan and Jingmei bare. Chinese parents always like to put all their hopes on the next generation for they are the generation full with hardship and pain. All they do just want the children to be better, but they ignore that whether their children can accept or not, not along a child born in America, influenced by the American’s individual freedom and knowing little about Chinese culture. The generation gap and culture conflict cause the misunderstanding of the mother and the daughter.
The other example is Waverly and her mother Lindo. Waverly tries her best to please Lindo in everything. Whether her mother approves or not becomes the master of all her choice. Even Waverly marries a Chinese man because Lindo likes Chinese, while she doesn’t love. Waverly doesn’t understand why Lindo disapprove or criticize whatever she has done. On the other side, Lindo thinks that her daughter is ashamed of her, which is her continual internal injury after Waverly’s winning that chess contest, when Waverly shouted to Lindo if Lindo wanted to show off, won the chest by herself. Every time, Lindo’s disagreement with or indifference to Waverly directly results from the thought that Waverly feels it shameful to be her daughter. Both of them deeply love each other, but in the meantime, they hostile and hurt one another. This is the way them get along with each other. Fortunately, they clear up their misunderstandings and discover themselves by communicating.
I am deeply moved by this scene:
Waverly Jong says to Lindo, sobbing,, You don"t know, you don"t know the power you have over me. One word from you, one look, and I"m four years old again, crying myself to sleep, because nothing I do can ever, ever please you. And after a short period of silence, Lindo smiles to Waverly with tears in her eyes, Now, you make me happy. Then they laugh heartily, teary-eyed with happiness.
Seeing the old Lindo bursts out laughing, like a child, and Waverly laughs joyfully, I sincerely feel delighted for them. Love needs communicating, understanding, and tolerance, which is what I learn from them.
Along with above mentioned, the struggle for the women to fight for equity is also brought to the surface. For instance, Ying-ying encourages her daughter Lena to escape an unhappy marriage, not repeating the same mistakes she made in her first marriage. And An-mei tells her daughter Rose to learn to shout at the unfair fate, and express her own will because Rose has lost herself in her marriage. These two cases reveal that the women begin to release themselves from the restrains of being oppressed by the men and the old-fashioned thoughts as well as some Chinese traditional characters. Eventually, the women find their true value and win their own happiness.
View from the whole film, the title, the Joy Luck Club may just be the old generation’s hope of better life for the next generation. On the whole, this is a movie made specifically for women. It is worth our appreciation.
