“人不是为失败而生的，一个人可以被毁灭，但不能给打败。”

您知道这句话出自哪里吗？对，就是海明威所写的《老人与海》！在我犹豫不决的时候，在我心存放弃之念的时候，我的心中就会浮现出这本书，浮现出这句话，浮现出那位执着的老人，心中总会迸发出无穷的力量。

读过这本书的人，都会为老人一波三折、跌宕起伏的经历而惊叹。八十四天的苦苦等待，三天三夜与大鱼的拼搏，数天的成果保卫战，却换来了一架空空的鱼骨……但他的执着却不得不令我们肃然起敬。他战胜了大海，战胜了厄运，更战胜了自己！

留下这一传世佳作的是诺贝尔文学奖的获得者——海明威，是一位以电报式文风而著称，将文学创作中的冰山原则表现得最为充分的作家“真正的大师都是用最简单的语言来表达最深刻的道理。”他简洁明快而又深蕴含蓄的写作风格，彰显了他强烈的创作个性，开创了美国文坛上的一代文风，并影响了整个文学界。

美国艺术史家贝瑞孙曾这样评价《老人与海》和他的作者。“《老人与海》是一首田园诗，大海就是大海，不是拜伦式的，不是麦尔维尔式的，好比荷马的手笔；行文又沉着又动人，犹如荷马的诗。真正的艺术家既不象征化，也不寓言化——海明威是一位真正的艺术家——但是任何一部真正的艺术品都能散发出象征和寓言的意味，这一部短小但并不渺小的杰作也是如此。”

文章的主人公，那位可爱又可敬的老人，只是一个在墨西哥海湾打渔的老渔夫，似乎岁月早已夺去他的力量，在他的脸上犁下了深深的沟壑，两鬓的苍白也见证着他所经历的沧桑。但是，在精神上，他却是一个不可战胜的巨人。在他的生活中处处充满着挑战，他也在与强者的挑战中，证明了自己是强者中的强者。在最困难的时候，没有人可以帮助他，他只有靠自己，靠自己的双手，靠自己的信念来博得自己的一切，无论如何，他都是胜利者。他真正胜利的是什么？是他的从不放弃！是他始终怀着无比的勇气战胜到最后的精神！因此，无论面对着怎样的境遇，无论遭遇怎样的挫折，他永远不会失败，永远都是胜利者。忍得住痛苦，耐得住寂寞，勇敢前行，无所畏惧，这，便是硬汉精神的真谛。

我们呢？我们在人生的道路上，有老师的指引，亲人的庇护，朋友的帮助，我们还有什么可畏惧的呢。一位老人，一位临近生命黄昏的老人都可以为信念如此的奋斗，而充满青春活力的我们又有什么理由失去斗志，半途而废呢……

《老人与海》是一曲强者的颂歌，他代表着拼搏，代表着热情，代表着对命运的承诺；他里面有坚强，有勇气，有对明天美好的期待。“一个最伟大的人莫过于在经历过84天的疲惫后，梦见第85天的太阳。”是的，“人可以失败，但不可以被击败，外在的肉体可以接受折磨，但是内在的意志却是神圣不可侵犯的。”只要我们把这种精神，把这种信仰根植于心中，我相信，我们一定会做的更好！

老人睡去了，他梦见了狮子，又有更多坚强的人醒来了，有你，有我，有无数的人们和老人一起，去迎接第85天更加明媚的太阳……

寒假，我读了高尔基的自传体小说《童年》，它给我的感触颇深。

它向我们艺术地展示了阿廖沙在黑暗社会追求光明的奋斗历程，还有十九世纪七十到八十年代的俄国社会风貌。3岁的时候，父亲病故，母亲就带阿廖沙回了娘家。可惜外公是个自私而又专横的小业主，但是资本主义俄国的发展打断了外公发财的好梦，从此破产以至于贫困潦倒。可怜的母亲改嫁之后，生病而死，十一岁的作者被外公残忍地赶出了家门，到社会上自谋生路……其实，阿廖沙的原型就是高尔基本人，高尔基借阿廖沙这个人物来描述自己的童年。高尔基用真实优美的文笔描述了自已苦难而令人难以置信童年。

我们现在丰衣足食，要什么有什么，又是父母的“掌上明珠”、“心肝宝贝”哪能和高尔基那悲惨的童年相提并论，年代的不同就是这差别，一个是天堂，一个是地狱；一个充满阳光，一个到处黑暗。我们现在的童年来之不易啊！童年充满着欢乐，童年到处是温暖，童年是值得回忆的相机，童年爱满心窝！而高尔基的童年除了一些教育和友谊，没有什么再值得回忆！

假如我们生活俄国沙皇时期又会怎么样？会认为那根本不是人生活的地方吗？我们不仅要珍惜眼前的幸福，而且要学会制造幸福。屠格涅夫说过：“屠格涅夫说过：”想要得到幸福，你首先要学会吃得起苦。“美好的生活必须有所付出，才会长久，有所争取，才会得到。

不知道大家有没有读过《小王子》这本书，它是法国作家圣埃克苏佩里创作的最着名的童话书。下面是小编帮大家整理的小王子英语读后感，希望大家喜欢。

篇一：小王子读后感(英语)《Book review of The Little Prince》

The Little Prince is a tale for both children and adults. The Little Prince is the story of a man who crashes his airplane into the desert only to meet a traveling boy from a small planet. The boy inquires about trees and sheep, shares his journeys and various encounters, and then leaves. Yet, reading between the lines, the story offers a much more complex, eiching, satisfying and eye-opening moral: what matters in life is love - and caring about someone or something and maintaining that relationship. The prince loves his rose enough to care for it every night by protecting it with a glass globe and requesting a muzzle for his sheep. He knows that the rose is naive with only four purposeless thorns and, out of his loyalty to her, it is his duty to protect her. Likewise, the narrator loves the prince and feels an obligation to secure his safe journey home.

I read this book as a child and was infected with a sense of awe and a newfound respect for the written word and its power to touch, heal and change perception. For myself, it accomplished two things; it instilled in me a desire to one day become a writer and touch others with my words and like the narrator of the story, and Antoine De Saint-Exupery (whose own plane crash is said to have been the basis for the tale) it instilled within me a hope that one day the Little Prince will return and someone will let me know.

What is the meaning of this tale? Easily saying is that the tale talk about many normal things like morals and principles and values from two different but successive way as children and adults. As the narrator said you can only catch adults’ attention by describing the price of something or saying the number of something. It’s hard to make adults feel lovely by the children’s beautiful describing. That is the reason why many adults believe this tale is a tale for adults.

Being insincere and utilitarian, adults consider useful and kids think sinful. Free spirit and free heart, adults consider absurd and children believe necessary. The amazing point is that these two different beliefs are held by one species--Human. When we were young, we could see anything God want us to see. But after decades, what we could see was only something we need to see.

There are so many good things for children and their imagination. And there are not so many things for adults and their reality. 篇二：小王子英语读后感《A Tale of Love and Life—————— The Little Prince》

"The Little Prince" is a clear book, as clear as the water. It’s writes for adults, teenagers and children. It is a book about life and the lives of the fable. As the book said, the water on the heart is beneficial. And "Little Prince" can make people feel warm and fresh.

The story is about a boy. He lives on a small planet. He is the only person of the planet. He is a lonely prince. Fortunately, a beautiful rose came in his life. They loved each other. But a little argument separated them. He left the planet which he lives, starts traveling. He went to many planets and met many different people. He likes to watch the sunset when he was sad. He found that people wanted happiness, but always pushed away happiness rudely.

At last, he understood how to love each other. Love and life is a very

important thing. He is very regret. He wanted to return to the planet which he lives. But he didn’t know the road. He chose to drank snake venom end his life because he thought it will be able to cast off his bulky body to go back.

Every time, when I read "The Little Prince", I always moved about it. In real life, we often busy in the whole day, such as a fly without soul. The passage of time, childhood away, we grew up and took away a lot of memories, but we also have an oasis in the heart.

Because ‘The Little Prince’ story, we live in quiet, the heart has a hope and love, have touched on the responsibility of the life. 篇三：小王子英文读后感《A Book that Impacted Me Most》

I don’t remember the exact year I first read The Little Prince . Though the golden snake in the book plays a cameo role , I never forget the scene that he flashed kissed gently on the little prince’s ankle. It made me be afraid to reread this book.

Later, I listened a Michael Wong’s song named Fairy-tale Story, the prince in his song is different from the prince in The Little Prince, the prince in the song is the same as Andersen’s tales’ princes, they all have happy endings.

However, I think The Little Prince is a sad story. There is a saying: There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand peoples eyes. Now, let me talk about my reading feeling. This simple story flies over every corner of the world: a pilot (the narrator) who had an accident with his plane and crashed in the Desert of Sahara then he met the little prince from the planet B-612, and the narrator listened little prince’s travel experience of seven planets. On the seven planets, he met a variety of persons. They are the king, the conceited man, the businessman, the tippler, the lamplighter, the geographer and so on.

The Little Prince is a story belongs to adults who have childlike innocence.because children don’t understand the little prince’s deep sadness.This is not so much a fairy tale, as it is a tragedy. This story tells the grow-ups’ world is full of empty，lost and loneliness with kids’ perspective. Among the story, the alcoholic is impressive. He was surrounded by a pile of beer bottles when the little prince saw him, and prince asked him why he is drinking, but he answered he want to forget his shame of drinking. This short planet visit plunged little prince into deep puzzled. He think the grow-ups are certainly very, very odd. In kids eyes, beautiful things must look with heart. But the adults pay more attention on things’ appearance that is just a shell and they don’t believe the eyes are blind and the heart is true.

Through this story, it also made me understand what’s the love---loves more mineral, more dense, more bitter and more weighty than the earths profoundest matter.

When I first read The Little Prince, I can’t understand the mean of love and never to think why should the little prince leave alone since he love his rose so deeply. For years, I reread the story and think about it. The simple true was first love. The little prince didn’t know how to love and It was difficult to make him understand the rose’s heart, so it may lead to misunderstanding and hurts from time to time. He leaved his planet because he can not accept the rose and himself.

This is why the little prince don’t know he have to leave : at that time, he had no idea he was in it. The little prince don’t understand the meaning of tame until he met the fox later. Then he produced the endless yearning for the roses and realized his responsibility.

"Do you want to be domesticated?" For me, this is a profound question. In the book, the little prince met a fox and invited the fox to play with him, but he was refused. The fox told him that he was not tamed. “what does that mean--tame?” little prince asked. The fox answered:” it means to establish ties: to me, you are still nothing more than a little boy who is just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I have no need of you. And you, on your part, have no need of me. To you, I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me , you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world.”

Gradually the little prince was beginning to understand, because he remembered his rose and he thought his rose had tamed him. So he chose to go back to his planet in the end. But to the fox, the little prince’s farewell will make her sad, but the hurts because of love, she should learn to accept it gradually. I believe there are full of hurts within serious and true love.

As long as the little prince flied to different planets and met a variety of persons can he understand himself and his rose. So I think traveling is a good way to experience life.

today, i was read the book which called “the adventures of tom sawyer.” this story is about a clever boy called tom sawyer.

this book describes the nineteenth century, the mississippi river in a small town peoples lives, it can be said at the time the united states are a microcosm of social life. small characters tom sawyer and his junior partner and seriously childish words and deeds can give us deep insight. they hate priests pack of lies, and do not like boring school of education and decently adults, and children a rival show. they smart and lively , integrity and courage, especially in some major events happened when, in a battle between justice and evil, in the moment of crisis comes, they will not hesitate to come forward.

i think tom sawyer is a brave boy. he always gives his friends courage in danger and he tries his best to help other people.

of course we know, tom is a very naughty boy, and his aunt polly is often angry with him. but i think he also is a good boy. he always can make other people happy.

people always grow, besides height, body has grown stronger, and people’s thoughts are long. your view on the world is different, sensible, and no longer childish. but people are getting better. dont like the adventures of the ruthless villains, and his quest do bad, people see people hate. but at last he still las toman, got a starved to death in the cave.

after reading the "adventures of tom sawyer," i really envy tom to have such an interesting experience. it seems this book with relish, and even sleepless nights.

[书虫的英语读后感

Oliver Twist, one of the most famous works of Charles Dickens’, is a novel reflecting the tragic fact of the life in Britain in 18th century.

The author who himself was born in a poor family wrote this novel in his twenties with a view to reveal the ugly masks of those cruel criminals and to expose the horror and violence hidden underneath the narrow and dirty streets in London.

The hero of this novel was Oliver Twist, an orphan, who was thrown into a world full of poverty and crime.

He suffered enormous pain, such as hunger, thirst, beating and abuse.

While reading the tragic experiences of the little Oliver, I was shocked by his sufferings.

I felt for the poor boy, but at the same time I detested the evil Fagin and the brutal Bill.

To my relief, as was written in all the best stories, the goodness eventually conquered devil and Oliver lived a happy life in the end.

One of the plots that attracted me most is that after the theft, little Oliver was allowed to recover in the kind care of Mrs.

Maylie and Rose and began a new life.

He went for walks with them, or Rose read to him, and he worked hard at his lessons.

He felt as if he had left behind forever the world of crime and hardship and poverty.

How can such a little boy who had already suffered oppressive affliction remain pure in body and mind? The reason is the nature of goodness.

I think it is the most important information implied in the novel by Dickens-he believed that goodness could conquer every difficulty.

Although I don’t think goodness is omnipotent, yet I do believe that those who are kind-hearted live more happily than those who are evil-minded.

For me, the nature of goodness is one of the most necessary character for a person.

Goodness is to humans what water is to fish.

He who is without goodness is an utterly worthless person.

On the contrary, as the famous saying goes, ‘The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose’, he who is with goodness undoubtedly is a happy and useful person.

People receiving his help are grateful to him and he also gets gratified from what he has done, and thus he can do good to both the people he has helped and himself.

To my disappointment, nowadays some people seem to doubt the existence of the goodness in humanity.

They look down on people’s honesty and kindness, thinking it foolish of people to be warm-hearted.

As a result, they show no sympathy to those who are in trouble and seldom offer to help others.

On the other hand, they attach importance to money and benefit.

In their opinion, money is the only real object while emotions and morality are nihility.

If they cannot get profit from showing their ‘kindness’, they draw back when others are faced with trouble and even hit a man when he is down.

They are one of the sorts that I really detest.

Francis Bacon said in his essay, ‘Goodness, of all virtues and dignities of the mind, is the greatest, being the character of the Deity, and without it, man is a busy, mischievous, wretched thing, no better than a kind of vermin.’

That is to say a person without goodness is destined to lose everything.

Therefore, I, a kind person, want to tell those ‘vermin-to-be’ to learn from the kind Oliver and regain the nature of goodness.

海是蓝色的，它可以平静如镜，也可以掀起狂潮巨浪，让生活在海里的勇士与他一比高下。精神是无形的，它可潜藏在人的内心世界里一动不动，也可以一触即发，用他那难以形容的威力与恶势力作斗争。

一位老人，一片大海，就算是一个正值壮年的男子，在大海的面前都是显得那么微不足道。何况是一位老人。然而，他却战胜了这一片汪 洋，有谁能够像一位老人那样与大鱼作战?是什么，促使老人与之战斗?是精神!顽强不屈的精神!“可以消灭一个人，就是打不垮他”，这是《老人与海》里给我印象最深的一句话，老人精疲力竭地回到岸上，为了得到一条鱼，丢掉了渔网鱼叉，受了伤，甚至都快丢了命

，看起来他好像输了，可是同时他也赢了，因为精神是唯一无法战胜的!“可以消灭一个人，就是打不垮他”，这句话之所以会给我留下如此深刻的印象，是因为我想起了无数我听到的看到的真实故事。

在美国的一位中国留学生饱受了房东在肉体，精神上非人的折磨，为替自己讨回公道，他在十年内上告无数次，最终以百折不挠的精神打赢了这场官司。我记得最后这名女留学生只要求房东诚恳的对她说一句“对不起”，他当着所有法官的面，将那张给予经济赔偿的支票撕得粉碎。当时我感动的流下了眼泪，十年的努力，只为寻求正义，我还记得那篇报道的名字叫《尊严》，这验道不正是这种精神的体现吗?

另一个故事是说一名美国战士在被枪决之前向众人竖起了两个手指，展示在人眼前的是代表单词胜利的首字母V，那是美国人民表示胜利的方式，他以此来表达自己无法用声音来表达的内心，刽子手见状，残酷地砍下了他的手指，然而意想不到的是，这名美国战士又举起了自己的双臂，那是一个巨大的V字，仿佛在空中不断地延伸，延伸，再延伸——这是怎样的震撼啊!即使一无所获，仍旧坚持不懈，为自己的目标奋斗，这不正是《老人与海》给我们的启示吗?一个人一旦拥有了这样的精神，他就是这个世界上最勇敢的人，不可战胜的人，是的，可以消灭一个人，但就是打不垮他!或许那些所谓的胜利者会赢得某些人的掌声，其实在他们内心深处，有个声音在说，你的胜利是所有胜利中最可悲的一种。为什么刽子手要砍下这个美国战士的手指呢?为什么在刑场上，我们的战士永远昂首挺胸，而敌人却不敢正视他们的眼睛，因为人类不可磨灭的是精神，无法战胜的是正义。

臧克家有句名言，“有的人死了，他还活着”我们应该歌颂古今中外所有拥有这样精神的人，“因为消灭一个人，就是打不垮他!

According to most analyses, The Catcher in the Rye is a bildungsroman, a novel about a young character’s growth into maturity. While it is appropriate to discuss the novel in such terms, Holden Caulfield is an unusual protagonist for a bildungsroman because his central goal is to resist the process of maturity itself. As his thoughts about the Museum of Natural History demonstrate, Holden fears change and is overwhelmed by complexity. He wants everything to be easily understandable and eternally fixed, like the statues of Eskimos and Indians in the museum. He is frightened because he is guilty of the sins he criticizes in others, and because he can’t understand everything around him. But he refuses to acknowledge this fear, expressing it only in a few instances—for example, when he talks about sex and admits that “[s]ex is something I just don’t understand. I swear to God I don’t” (Chapter 9).

Instead of acknowledging that adulthood scares and mystifies him, Holden invents a fantasy that adulthood is a world of superficiality and hypocrisy (“phoniness”), while childhood is a world of innocence, curiosity, and honesty. Nothing reveals his image of these two worlds better than his fantasy about the catcher in the rye: he imagines childhood as an idyllic field of rye in which children romp and play; adulthood, for the children of this world, is equivalent to death—a fatal fall over the edge of a cliff. His created understandings of childhood and adulthood allow Holden to cut himself off from the world by covering himself with a protective armor of cynicism. But as the book progresses, Holden’s experiences, particularly his encounters with Mr. Antolini and Phoebe, reveal the shallowness of his conceptions.

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.

As is known to all, Pride and Prejudice which was written by a famous English female writer Jane Austen is still a classic in English literature nowadays. Jane Austen who was born and lived her whole life in England wrote six books in her life time.

Her novels all described the lifestyle and social communications of families in the countries of England as what she is familiar with. The book Pride and Prejudice is the typical one that fully expressed Jane’s view on marriage and emphasized that the benefit on economic exerts a great influence on marriage.

The characters in the novel all had their own opinions on marriage. Mrs. Bennet, for instance, has only one aim-that of finding a good match for each of her five daughters.

As for Elizabeth, who is the second daughter in the Bennet family said that only deep love would persuade her to marry which was why she would probably end up an old maid. Lydia and Charlotte, however, were two extremes. The former just married for sex, while the latter married for a comfortable home and protection.

There are just so many different characters that were all formed under the society of England in 18’s century. Then, there was filled with unfairness between men and women. Just as what Jane Austen said,”It is a truth universally knowledge, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife. ”

“信赖，往往创造出美好的境界。”你听过这句话吗?最初，我对这句话的印象不是很深，但我看了《悲惨世界》这一本书后，就觉得信赖是一个重要的东西。

冉阿让是故事的主人公，他经历了长期的牢狱之苦，终于得到了自由，但谁也不在相信他了，在这衣食无着的困境里，他得到了主教——米里艾的关照。然而，因为冉阿让曾经是一个苦役犯，人们无法接受他，从此谁也没见过他。等他再次出现，他很乐于助人，人们不知道他就是冉阿让，都很喜欢他。可惜，好景不长，他又一次被捕了，在船上服苦役。一个海员在工作时，不小心掉进大海，他救了海员，自己却掉进大海里!但他没有死，在法国大革命的战场上，他英勇无畏，在枪林弹雨中战斗，救助被人。

可当人们知道他是冉阿让的时候，一双双冷酷的眼睛望着他，眼里充满了憎恨。这说明，如果别人不相信你，你用任何办法都很难擦除自己的罪过，让人相信你。

这都说明，你信任别人，别人会觉得很好，也会信任你;当两人互相信任，或者是更多的人互相信任，这个世界将是多么美好。

He finally landed a big marlin, the big marlin let old fisherman off for three days at sea exhausted, this spirit is worth our learning. The big marlin was killed, tied to the side of the boat.

In return, the old fisherman were repeatedly attacked by a shark, he used up all the way to deal with the shark. Back to harbour, only fish head fish and a bone. Although fish was eaten by sharks, but he will not disappear.

This story mainly tells us that can be hurt, but not defeated. Before, what if I do bad, can only retreat, sometimes, I only speak in words. I am not sure, every examination concerned about their bad.

The old man and the sea, the old fisherman and shark struggle, harpoon was taken away by sharks. He tumbled on the knife strapped to the OARS pierced. The knife is broken, the old fisherman with a short stick. Short stick is lost, he used rudder to play. These is mainly told us not to have no confidence.

我读了许多书，我也从中学到了许多知识，也让我学到了许多道理。让我印象最深的一本书是这样一个故事，古巴老渔夫圣地亚哥连续了8天都没捕到鱼，被别的渔夫看在眼里老渔夫只是一个失败者而已，可是他的坚持不懈打动了我。他终于钓上了一条大马林鱼，这条大马林鱼让老渔夫在海上整整脱了三天才筋疲力尽，这种精神值得我们学习。那条大马林鱼被他杀死了，绑在小船的一边。

在回归时，老渔夫一再遭到了鲨鱼的袭击，他用尽了所有的办法来对付这条鲨鱼。回到港湾时，只剩鱼头鱼尾和一根骨头。尽管鱼肉已经被鲨鱼吃完了，但他的意志并没有消失。

这个故事主要告诉了我们可以被受伤害，但不能被打败。以前，我做什么事情如果做不好，只会退缩，有的时候我只会说丧气的话。每次考试的时候我都没有把握，担心自己考不好。

《老人与海》中，老渔夫和鲨鱼搏斗，鱼叉被鲨鱼给带走了。他把小刀绑在桨上面胡乱扎扎。刀子折断了，老渔夫用一根短的棍子。短棍也给丢了，他用舵来打。这些主要就是告诉我们不要没有信心。

Recently， I have read a very interesting book， the Adventures of Tom Sawyer。 And the companion volume is the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn。 This book described an American boy， Tom Sawyer’s fantastic adventure。 The author of this novel is one of my favorite writers， Mark Twain， who was honored as the literary giant and was good at writing satirical novels。 The reason that I enjoy Mark Twain’s composition is that he always brought me into a funny world by using very simple description but perfect writing skills and attractive story structures。 Nevertheless， when I finished reading his words， I would think some deeper and serious things that he wanted to convey to us。 The style of Mark Twain’s composition is humorous but actually very sharp， which exposed the weakness and the hypocrite of human nature and expressed his desiring for a perfect and ideal world。

You don"t know about me if you haven"t read a book called the Adventures of Tom Sawyer。 Mr。 Mark Twain wrote the book and most of it is true。 The heroin of this novel， Tom Sawyer， was a brave and active boy。 But he got tired of his family， his school as well as the church。 He was not satisfied with a hidebound life but dreamed of a free and venturesome life。 This naughty but clever boy lost his parents since child。 Thus he lived with his aunt who loved him very much。 He always escaped from school， and played various games with his friends。 He even fell in love with a girl and tried again and again to win her favor。 One day， Tom and his friend Huck came across a murdering。 An Indian Joe killed a doctor because of disagreement and imputed it to another partner Porter。 The two young boys were extremely frightened and decided to keep the secret。 But actually Tom was anxious all the time。 After that， Tom had conflict with the girl， he leaved at home with Huck angrily and started their adventure。 People in the town thought that they had died。 When they held funeral for these boys， Tom and his friends appeared。 Since then， Tom became hero in school， and reconciled with that girl。 Soon， the court was about to judge that murder case。 When everyone considered Porter as the murderer， Tom bravely exposed the true murderer Joe。 But unfortunately， Joe ran away， so Tom was trapped into enormous anxiety。 Once time， Tom met a partner of Joe in a haunted house。 He heard that they would go to find treasure。 Several days later， Tom went to a picnic with his friends。 But he and the girl Becky got lost in a cave。 They had suffered from hunger， thirsty， darkness and coldness for days in that cave。 Worse still， they found that Indian Joe also in that cave。 This time， all the town folk believed that they must have die。 Especially Tom’ aunt and Thatcher were in deep sorrow。 Beyond people’ expectation， Tom and Becky found the way， and was sent to their home by others。 And because of this accident， the cave was sealed。 When Tom heard that， he told the judge that Joe was still stay at that cave。 When the judge fetched someone to check it， Joe had died in the cave。 Then， Tom and Huck got into that cave again， and found the treasure that Joe and his partner were finding。 Tom got a happy ending， he became a rich man and was popular in his town。

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a clear reflection of the child"s life is full of Children"s novels。 I have to say that clever Tom reminded me of my childhood。 We always lost something as we grow up and gradually got lost in our life。 A child would not tell lies to other， a child would speak out their feelings without hesitation， a child would care too much about other’s opinions， and a child would bravely do what they wanted。 Likewise， in that time， people were pretty reserve， and they did not dare to tell their own ideas， neither fight against the tradition。 But Tom was brave。 He challenged the tradition。 He never restricted himself into school or homework like other child， he loved adventure and different challenges instead。 He exposed the true murderer even though he might be dangerous。 So the author Mark Twain designed a good ending for Tom。

It was Mark Twain’s humor that attracted me most。 But there was not only humor， people who read his books would learn something serious。 He told us： tell the truth forever， such of words you need not record you to once say somewhat。 Someone said that Mark Twain gave pleasurereal intellectual enjoyment to millions， and his work will continue to give such pleasure to millions yet to come。 His humor was American， but he was nearly as much appreciated by Englishmen and people of other countries as by his own countrymen。 He has made an enduring part of American literature。

In a word， I gained much from this fantastic novel， and learned a lot from Tom Sawyer。 And I believe that these harvests will have great effects on my whole life。

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 poor but aspiring， small in body but huge in soul， obscure but self-respecting girl. After we close the covers of the book， after having a long journey of the spirit， Jane Eyre， a marvelous figure， has left us so much to recall and to think:

We remember her goodness: for someone who lost arms and blinded in eyes， for someone who despised her for her ordinariness， and even for someone who had hurt her deeply in the past.

We remember her pursuit of justice. It’s like a panion with the goodness. But still， a virtuous person should promote the goodness on one side and must check the badness on the other side.

We remember her self-respect and the clear situation on equality. In her opinion， everyone is the same at the God’s feet. Though there are differences in status、in property and also in appearance， but all the human being are equal in personality.

We also remember her striving for life， her toughness and her confidence…

When we think of this girl， what she gave us was not a pretty face or a transcendent temperament that make us admire deeply， but a huge charm of her ersonality.

Actually， she wasn’t pretty， and of course， the ordinary appearance didn’t make others feel good of her， even her own aunt felt disgusted with it. And some others even thought that she was easy to look down on and to tease， so when Miss Ingram met Jane Eyre， she seemed quite contemptuous， for that she was obviously much more prettier than ‘the plain and ugly governess’. But as the little governess had said: ‘Do you think， because I am poor， obscure， plain， and little， I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong!’ This is the idea of equality in Jane Eyre’s mind. God hadn’t given her beauty and wealth， but instead， God gave her a kind mind and a thinking brain. Her idea of equality and self-respect impress us so much and let us feel the power inside her body.

In my mind， though a person’s beauty on the face can make others once feel that one is attractive and charming， if his or her mind isn’t the same beautiful as the appearance， such as beauty cannot last for， when others find that the beauty which had charmed them was only a falsity， it’s not true， they will like the person no 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 Kahill Gibran has said， that ‘Beauty is a heart enflamed and a soul enchanted’. I can feel that how beauty really is， as we are all fleshly men， so we can’t distinguish whether a man is of nobleness or humbleness， but fleshly men， so we can’t distinguish whether a man is of nobleness or humbleness， but as there are great differences in our souls， and from that， we can know that whether a man is noble or ordinary， and even obscure， that is， whether he is beautiful or not.

Her story makes us thinking about life and we learn much from her experience， at least， that is a fresh new recognition of the real beauty.

Read the book "treasure island" over the weekend, let me have deep feeling.

"Treasure island" is a story of treasure. One is called the pirate captain flint bought 700000 pounds worth of treasure in the treasure island, the protagonist of the story Jim accidentally got a treasure map, and some people treasure together. Treasure hunters and pirates launched a life and death struggle, finally, treasure hunters finally found the treasure.

I like the story of Jim, he is smart and brave, for example, after they got on the treasure island, and pirates, one day, Jim out of their camps, in the evening, he walked into the camp of the pirates, pirates leader didnt kill him, because love Jim wanted him to join the pirates, but he keep up, determined not to join the pirates. He that let me admire very much. Also, when sailing captured by pirates, Jim and the ships anchor partition, let the boat with the wind rocking, the pirates to stun, the pirates were shaking all night, and drank the wine, ships were robbed Jim come back the next day.

In the book, and Im impressed with a person, he is silver. Silver looks graceful on the surface, like a gentleman, but hes murderous pirate leader. In the ship as a cook, he, usually, people on board the ship like a family, but, in his convened a bunch of pirates, to treasure island, but decide to deny, and Jim they played out.

Everywhere in our life, but also has a "hypocrite", such as silver we should see through their camouflage, dont be fooled disguise.

周末读了《金银岛》这本书，让我深有感悟。

《金银岛》讲的是一个关于寻宝的故事。一个叫弗林特的海盗船长在金银岛上买了价值70万英镑的宝藏，故事的主人公吉姆偶然得到了一个藏宝图，和一些人一起寻宝。寻宝者和海盗展开了一场生死搏斗，最后，寻宝者终于找到了宝藏。

我最喜欢故事中的吉姆，他聪明机智而且很勇敢，比如说，在他们登上金银岛后，和海盗交战，有一天，吉姆出了他们的营地，到晚上，他却闯入了海盗的营地，海盗头子因为很喜欢吉姆所以没有杀他，想让他加入海盗，他却临危不乱，坚决不加入海盗。他的这一点让我非常敬佩。还有，当帆船被海盗占领，吉姆又把船的锚索隔断，让船随风摇晃，把海盗晃晕，海盗们被晃了一夜，加上喝了酒，第二天船就被吉姆抢了回来。

在书中，还有一个人让我印象深刻，他就是西尔弗。西尔弗表面上看起来举止文雅，像一个绅士，但是，他却是杀人不眨眼的海盗头子。他在船上担任厨师，平时对船上的人就像是亲人一样，但是，在他召集了一帮海盗，到岛上寻宝时，却翻脸不认人，和吉姆他们打的你死我活。

在我们的生活中，也处处有着像西尔弗这样的“伪君子”，我们要识破他们的伪装，不被伪装所蒙骗。

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Black BeautyThe Autobiography of a Horse by Anna SewellSummaryBlack Beauty was the only book written by Anna Sewell, although its continued popularity among children, particularly girls, has justified that effort. Sewell was, remarkably, paid only twenty pounds for the book and it was published three months before her death, in 1877. However, its immediate success gave her great pleasure and she died in the knowledge that the book had indeed encouraged people to treat animals less cruelly.It is the autobiography of a horse, the black Beauty of the title, who narrates it. Through various owners who ask different tasks of Black Beauty, he grows and has numerous adventures. He goes from being a riding and carriage horse through being a mistreated town cab horse to eventual happiness in a secure home. Notably, the animal keeps strength and good temper throughout his suffering and the story was extremely influential as pro-animal propaganda but it is also an extremely exciting and moving childrens story.
