一个善良的小男孩,一个忧郁的小男孩,一个倔强的小男孩,这个小男孩就是《孤儿》中的主人公奥利弗。

奥利弗是个孤儿,在济贫院中长大,因饥饿向厨师要粥喝而被送到棺材铺当学徒。受尽凌辱后逃到伦敦。在那儿,他误入贼窝,被费金指使行窃,作案时被抓住。失主布朗洛收养了他,但他又被女贼南希抓回,跟随赛克斯行窃,行窃失败,又被主人家收养。南希得知了奥利弗的身世,告知罗斯,因此被赛克斯杀害。最后,奥利弗依法继承父亲财产,盗窃团伙受到法律严惩。

《雾都孤儿》吸引我的不仅是它的故事情节,还给我带来了许多的启迪,其中最重要的一点是:我们每个人都要有爱心,都要乐于助人。我们生活中就有这样的例子。在2008年5.12大地震中,全国人民万众一心,众志成城:解放军叔叔不怕辛苦,日夜解救埋在废墟下的幸存者;街头的红十字采血车上,很多叔叔阿姨将自己的爱心奉献出来,用他们的鲜血挽救那些生命垂危的病人,这些充满爱心的鲜血汇成生命的长河;大批的志愿者赶赴灾区,献出自己的一份力;大批的物资从各地运送到灾区;小学生们也纷纷用零花钱为灾区捐款,一元钱的力量也许很小,只是杯水车薪,但汇集着无数爱心的无数个一元钱,它的力量却很大,灾区的人民一定能体会我们的爱心,感受到大家庭的温暖……这体现出了我们全国人民的爱心和我们乐于助人的精神。

对人民我们要有爱心,对动物植物我们也要有爱心。我们人类和动物植物是最亲密的伙伴,没有了它们,我们会觉得寂寞。我们要爱惜动物,爱惜一花一草,一树一木,这样,我们的世界才能更可爱更美好。

爱心是一朵花,一朵美丽奇妙的花;爱心是一首歌,一首焕发向上的歌;爱心是一股泉,一股清澈透亮的泉。让我们每个人都献出一点爱心,让世界变得更美好!

"One hundred years of solitude" is known as "Latin American history of literature in the vision of the society". It is the representative work of gabriel Garcia marquez, is the representative work of Latin American magic realism literature. After reading, the book morbid alone, for a variety of abnormal personality, floating in my around, for a long time not to go.

The characters in the book, Mr ASHLEY boone, emperor, this is a diligent, pragmatic, creative people. But because hes fascination with science and knowledge, wrongly, alchemy, god copperplate picture... He was completely insane, so he is a lonely.

His wife Ursula is a woman of flashing mother all good quality. In my opinion, she is the family foundation. The whole book is her busy figure, this womans body with another kind of loneliness.

I think the book is the most sad figures boone was the second son of Mr LeiLiangNuo. He launched numerous armed uprising, but all failed. Fortunately, life is very big, escaped the ambush, assassination, and shot, stubbornly survived. But alive may be biggest torture to him. He became fascinated by doing small goldfish, kept on doing repeatedly, as for alchemy obsession.

The characters in the book is filled with loneliness. Perhaps this is the author wants to express to us, the family of autism has brought the whole family. Similarly, the feelings without communication, a lack of trust and understanding of family also symbolizes the society at that time. Perhaps the author is to express myself in the book of Latin American national unity together, to get rid of loneliness.

《百年孤独》被誉为“再现拉丁美洲历史社会图景的鸿篇之著”。它是加西亚·马尔克斯的代表作,也是拉丁美洲魔幻现实主义文学作品的代表作。读完,书中病态的孤独,形形色色的畸形人格,漂浮在我的四周,久而不去。

书中的人物霍·阿·布恩帝亚本是一个勤恳务实、富有创造力的人。但由于他错误地对科学和求知痴迷,炼金术,上帝铜版照片……他完全发了疯,所以他是个孤独者。

他的妻子乌苏拉是个闪烁着母亲一切美好品质的妇女。在我看来,她其实就是这个家族的地基。整部书都是她忙碌的身影,这个女人的身上拥有着另一种孤独感。

我想全书最悲哀的人物莫过于布恩帝亚的次子奥雷良诺了。他发动了无数次的武装起义,却都无果。所幸命很大,躲过了埋伏、暗杀以及枪决,顽强地活了下来。但活下来也许才是对他最大的折磨。他痴迷于做小金鱼,反复不停地做,就如同对于炼金术的痴迷。

书中的人物无不充斥着孤独感。这也许正是作者想要对我们表达的,这个家族的孤独性给整个家族带来了毁灭。同样,这个没有感情沟通,缺乏信任和了解的家族也象征了当时的社会。或许作者正以此书来表达自己对拉美民族共同团结,摆脱孤独的强烈愿望。

导语:《简·爱》是英国女作家夏洛蒂·勃朗特创作的长篇小说,是一部具有自传色彩的作品。下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的相关作文,欢迎阅读与借鉴,谢谢!

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.

【翻译】

奥利弗扭,是查尔斯·狄更斯最著名的作品之一,是一部反映第十八世纪英国生活悲剧的小说。

作者自己出生在一个贫穷的家庭写这本小说在他的二十几岁,以揭示这些丑恶的罪犯丑恶的面具,揭露隐藏在伦敦狭窄和肮脏的街道下的恐怖和暴力。

这部小说的主人公是Oliver Twist,一个孤儿,被扔进了一个充满贫穷和犯罪的世界。他遭受了巨大的痛苦,如饥饿,口渴,殴打和虐待。在读小奥利弗的悲惨经历时,我对他的痛苦感到震惊。我觉得对穷人的孩子,但同时我憎恶邪恶的费根和残暴的比尔。让我欣慰的是,正如所有最好的故事所写的那样,善良最终战胜了恶魔,奥利弗最终过上了幸福的生活。一个情节是最吸引我的是盗窃后,小奥利弗被允许在Maylie太太和罗丝的护理下恢复并开始新的生活。他和他们一起散步,罗斯向他朗读,他努力学习功课。他觉得自己似乎永远地留下了罪恶、困苦和贫穷的世界。

这样一个受过压迫的小男孩怎么能保持身心的纯洁呢?原因是善良的本性。我认为这是狄更斯小说中最重要的信息,他相信善良可以战胜一切困难。虽然我不认为善良是万能的,但我相信那些善良的人比那些有邪恶思想的人生活得更幸福。

对我来说,善良的本质是一个人最必要的性格之一。善良之于人类犹如水之于鱼。没有良善的人是一个毫无价值的人。相反,正如著名的谚语所说,芬芳总是停留在给玫瑰的手,与善良的人无疑是一个快乐和有用的人。人们收到他的帮助是感谢他,他也得到了欣慰,他做了什么,因此他可以做的好事,他帮助的人和自己。

令我失望的是,现在有些人似乎怀疑人性的善的存在。他们看不起人们的诚实和善良,认为愚蠢的人是热心。结果,他们对那些处于困境中的人没有同情心,也很少主动帮助别人。另一方面,他们重视金钱和利益。在他们看来,金钱是唯一真正的对象,而情感和道德的虚无。如果他们不能从显示他们的“善意”获得利润,他们退缩时,别人面临的麻烦,甚至打了一个人,当他下来。他们是我最讨厌的一种。

弗朗西斯·培根说,在他的文章中,“善良,所有的美德和心灵的尊严,是最大的,是神的性质,没有它,人是一个繁忙的,淘气的、不幸的事情,没有比一种害虫。”

也就是说,没有善良的人注定会失去一切。因此,我,一个善良的人,想告诉那些“vermin-to-be从一种奥利弗恢复善良的本质。

篇8:《格列佛游记》英语读后感

全文共 4611 字

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.”

He has accomplished the scientists goal,but the scientist is not happy,for his livelihood has now been destroyed.Swifts clear implication is that even though the houyhnhmns are smart,they do not know how to use that knowledge for the benefit of society,only for their own prideful agrandizement.

Throughout gullivers travels,the houyhnhms are shown to be an ideal gone wrong.Though their intent might have been good,they dont know how to do what they want to do because they are filled with pride.They mislead gulliver and they even mislead themselves.The satire on them is particularly well explained by the new born houyhnhm who,having just been born, exclaims,“with this sort of entrance,what must I expect from the rest of my life!”

今天,我看了一部电影《背着爸爸去上学》。当我看到这部电影的名字时,感到有些奇怪,为什么要背着爸爸去上学呢?我带着这个疑问观看了这部电影。

石娃是这部电影的主人公,他出生在甘肃山区的一个小村庄。那年他七岁该上小学了,姐姐十二岁也该上初中了。由于他们从小失去了母亲,爸爸是一个淳朴憨厚的农民,而且家里很穷,只能勉强供一个孩子上学。于是,父亲用一把铜勺来决定两个孩子谁来上学的机会。也不知道是上天从来都把这样的机会赐给男孩,还是石娃比他的姐姐幸运,最终铜勺指向了石娃。

石娃每天上学时都要经过一条叫马莲江的河流。有一次下雨,河水很大很急,他亲眼目睹了河水吞噬了一个小伙伴的生命,当时他很害怕很无助,这件事情对他的打击很大。他再也不敢淌过那条河流去学校上学了,当他逃学第三天就被父亲发现了,父亲狠狠地打了他一顿。也就是那天,父亲背着他淌过了那条叫马莲江的河流,并告诉他:“男孩子无论做什么事都要有个结果。”这个淳朴憨厚的父亲说了这,么一句话,可能就是因为这句话的原因,石娃每年都是班里的三好学生,学习成绩一直名列前茅。

转眼间,石娃上了初中。有一天当他回家时,他发现爸爸把姐姐嫁给了附近一个个子很矮的男人。石娃很生气,气冲冲的对着父亲说:“我恨你!”父亲满脸的无奈没有任何怨言。可石娃哪里知道父亲是为了给他凑学费才不得以这么做的呀!不久,石娃参加了全国奥林匹克化学大赛,拿到了甘肃赛区的第一名。他在颁奖大会上说的那句话使我受益匪浅,他说:“我上学的机会是铜勺转来的,那天铜勺的把柄偏偏指向了我,没有指向姐姐。”这句话充分表明了贫困山区里的孩子们能有上学的的机会多不容易呀,他要上学而他的姐姐就要辍学,看来石娃的确很珍惜这个上学的机会。看到这里我真的感到自己很幸福,我们生活在城市里吃的、穿的、住的、用的那个都比石娃好上几十倍、几百倍、甚至几千倍,所以我们更应该珍惜现在的学习机会。

就在石娃获奖没几天,爸爸在干农活时不小心摔了一跤,从此得了中风,生活不能自理。家里的重担一下子压在了石娃身上,既要读书还要照顾生病的爸爸,即使这样他的学习成绩丝毫没有受到影响,功夫不负有心人,他终于考上了城里的师范大学。就在乡亲们为他庆贺时,石娃却高兴不起来,如果他去城里读书那爸爸怎么办呢?就在他决定放弃上大学时,爸爸坚决不同意,想结束自己的生命好让石娃放心的去读书。石娃不得不答应爸爸去上大学,但他却做出了一个惊人的决定,他要背着自己的爸爸去城里读书。

电影的结尾是太阳慢慢的升起,照耀着大地,石娃背着爸爸来到爸爸当年背他的马莲江边,他用自己瘦弱的身体背起爸爸缓缓地向河对面走去……石娃背起的不仅仅是他的爸爸,他背起的是一个儿子的责任,他背起的是自己的幸福和未来,他背起的更是一个温暖的家。

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.

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 dont 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 peoples 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 theirkindness 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 thosevermin-to-beto learn from the kind Oliver and regain the nature of goodness.

This book is a little Ducheis the story is about a girl called Sarah, who is all she wanted, but she is not spoiled. She immediately became one of the most popular students in the other, when they found her very smart, can make use of a good story of her vivid imagination. In Sarahs 11-year-old birthday, MiMinchin was told that Sarahs father died, leaving Sara penniless, and you can not go anywhere. Minchin sent so missed an attic where she worked as servants. Sarahs trial is to remember that the princeis a princess, and even when she acted as other people, even in the run-down. She was finally helped friends and her father become rich, to become a princeforever.

We can feel good book. Sarah to everyone, even the mouse and her doll! She was always willing to help others what circumstances. Her own. She encouraged her friends the difference they have problems, she helped her friend to learn; she tells the story of poor little servant, and for her to buy delicious food; forgive her students, given them a hate her hands warm, they have problems, even when she deteriorated, she still gave her most of the bread to the beggars; she and a friend turned into a mouse. Although she was hungry, she will not forget some food. You might think that it is difficult for others, but Sarah has done a good job. Her kindneand her evil principals become a strong contrast. For me this book had a great influence. When I have difficulties, I always feel that Sarah, I would like to have the courage to tackle difficult and sometimes some ideas will come to my mind, if Sarah has helped me.

The so-called "good" What does this mean? In this dictionary is: State or quality. What Sarah has done on behalf of not only good, but the author also shows that the maintenance of good things and hope the world is full of mercy and love. Then you know about real life in this world? Of course, good and evil. So good? Beautiful things are by the history and great people; as an insignificant, and this has nothing to do with me! If you have such a good idea, you are completely wrong. We can see very tiny things, from善性such as the perceptual awareness: to a sweet smile, your friends, when you met the kind-hearted, caring person; When you have done, trying to find very glad to help others, for all the biological ... Oh, there are many, this sounds very difficult; but if you really have a warm heart in daily life, you will find it very easy to do good.

Sarah to set a good example for us. She not only is perfect, but it is also a good idea to spread her friend was impressed by many people. Through this book, we can see that, in fact, the author describes as Sarah and the two most under Minchin, a very good; the other is very bad. While it is in real life, not very different. However, we can still be found today, very few people are willing to do mercy and to do it well. Why?

A considerable number of reasons to explain this important phenomenon. First of all, now, our society, the so-called people - children - policy, taking into account their children, many parents are teaching kids, first of all, in order to protect themselves, day after day, the children become a bit selfish, resulting in the fact that fewer people can do good. As Sarah

Urbanization also plays an important role. Methods as the countrys urbanization and the continuous improvement of living standards, more people live in a big city life, and more the pressures of life, are busy for their own work and study, then do not concern public community, they only care about things with their lives, such as income and holidays and so on. They are not unsympathetic, but there is no concept of the United States and Germany. In their mind to do nothing good.

As we have mentioned, human sympathy, but no sense. If they are worried about more things, in addition to those who do will have noticed with them is also very good for them, for their social position. As we know, the world is complex, there is the feeling, we can not accept, so it is difficult to make people aware of this. This may explain why people living in the past with lepressure, it might give them the kind-hearted.

The popular princeof a small, not only the kind of Sarah, but understanding of the properties, we have our time in this beautiful book. I wish Sarah would be the princein our hearts forever; more and more people want to be that little Sarah Duchein reality.

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。

雾都孤儿》中主人公的英文名字为Oliver Twist,而Twist其英文意思是“扭曲,曲折,使苦恼”,这暗示着主人公Oliver的一生很坎坷,要经历很多的痛苦。在这个对社会进行抗议的情节剧式的小说中,奥利弗被当作一个主人公,其目的不是要触动我们的文学敏感性,而是要打动我们的情感。以下是小编带来的雾都孤儿英文读后感,希望对你有帮助。

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.

The Hunger Games, is written by Suzanne Collins. The central ruling city, named the capitol, holds the hunger games. Every year,the evil Capitol of the nation of Panem forces each of its twelve districts to send a teenage boy and girl to compete in the Hunger Games. The Hunger Games are just a nationally televised event in which Tributes must fight with one another until one survivor remains.

To my surprise, Katniss involved in the hunger games, replaces her sister to play. She moves forward with faith, and finally wins both love and the hunger games. By the way, Katniss and Peeta are the tributes from district 12. Finally, they survive to the end and return home.

In my opinion, the Hunger Games is written mainly against domination. In another word, the hunger games are the product of domination. From the growth of Katniss, I deeply impressed that she is not only minute but also representative and aspirant, for the Hunger Game is not only a game itself as a show, but also the game between the Capitol and other 12 districts. This is a game about domination and revolution. In the Hunger Games, there are many moving scenes. While peeta joins the tributes from the richer districts. However, when he has the opportunity to kill Katniss, he instead saves her from the others. But Rue skilled by another tribute, whom Katniss then kills, Katniss sings to Rue until she dies, which encourages the watching people to chase for freedom and be against domination.

Besides this, I also learn something about hope from the story. Katniss moves all the way forward with hope. She tells peeta in the arena,If we win, we will each get a house in the part of town reserved for Hunger Games’ victors。 She does not give up but does everything she can to increase the possibility of survival. As young adults, we should also have faith in our future. Ups and downs as we may face, none of them is challenging enough compared with the death threat Katniss encounters. Katniss never losed hope. Neither should we.

At the end of Hunger Games, when the couple remain last, the rule changes back. One must kill the other to win. Knowing that the gamemakers would rather have to victors than none, Katniss offer some highly poisonous berries to peeta. Realizing that Katniss and Peeta instead to commit suicide, the gamemakers announce that they both will be victors of the 74th Hunger Games. Katniss is very mature, brave and wise. She is a b role model for young girls with her character"s sacrifice, courage, moral grounding in a world that"s lost its own, and will to fight for what"s right, even if it means sacrificing her own life or sparking a revolution.

Although the reality is cruel for almost every character in the fiction, the positive side of humanity and love is always bright.

平凡世界》是中国作家路遥创作的一部百万字的小说。以下是小编带来的平凡的世界英语读后感,希望对你有帮助。

The man who is working is the happiest one in the world, no matter in which period. That’s a truth the book ordinary world wants to tell us. It’s loudly gives out the slogan, as a human, despair the position, as long as you have a burning heart, you will beloved by the life. Everybody in the world should love their work. One can be ordinary, but can not be mediocre. Only be a worker, and use one’s sincere heart to taste the life and experience, can we truly being alive. We have only one life. This is a book written by life. There is a kind of ordinary sound flood in the earth and universe.

The book’s time span lasts from the 1975 to 1985, the turbulent years in Chinese history. The story happened in a small village called Shuangshui village. Almost the whole book is describe the life and people in Shuangshui village. During that ten years, the Cultural Revolution has came to an end, Deng Xiaoping came into power,a new mode of production-- household contract responsibility system with remuneration linked to output has came out. All of these changes lead to the happen of the story. Shungshui village and it’s people is just like a miniature picture of the whole China and it’s people. The book included every aspect of the society that time. Lu Yao wanted to use a kind of realism style of writing to draw the outline of a great social picture scroll. In the scroll, everyone in different stratum is lifelike in both characters and features. This is an important point, because of Lu Yao ‘s consummate novel skill and the deadly serious writing attitude, this novel turned into one of the best teacher aids of that period history.

The pedagogical meaning I get from this book is a kind of profound understanding to the peasant in our own country. The younger generation in the modern city is very hard to figure out the meaning of this point, because they are far away from the real country life. Peasants’ life, peasants’ thought ,the days peasant’s had and now and the future, all of these are quite unfamiliar to most of us. Then this book can be regarded as a bridge, we can indirectly gain a better understanding of the real country from this book And that’s the function of books. The book perfectly draw a picture of that time, it reflects the pleasure, the anger, the sorrow, and the passions of the peasants. After finished the book, we can say we experienced that period in one sense. We had ever worked in a filed, the sweat poured like rains from our face and we had ever loved someone ,lost someone. All of these cane from the book. The practical significance of the book sets on the current situation and historic continuity of China; sets on the hope of the future and the development of our young generation; sets on the understanding of China and the people.

On the other hand, I do really like Lu Yao’s starting point---ordinary world. Their world is ordinary, this is just one of the tens of thousands of villages in loess plateau. But Lu Yao have seen the character out of the common in the protagonists. Take Sun shaoping as an example, he had a secondary education and through a self-study came to a undergraduate level. The author put many excellent qualities to this leading role. All the roles in Lu Yao’s novel are ordinary people, but all the marvelous characters in their body made them different.

Life is an outward journey and there is not much time for us to squander, to grieve or to feel depressed. It will be spineless to give up our hope. Just like the famous sentence “Though the torches is drooping, the fire is burning up”。 Even the most ordinary people should fight for his life.

篇19:《麦田里的守望者》英语读后感

全文共 1730 字

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.

Little Women

Before I read this book, I had watched a cartoon movie made by Japan. So I have a strong interest on it.

It all begins in the dead of winter; The Christmas Season. The coldest one of all, were the war has made fuel for heating very scarce. While her husband is off at war, Marmee is left alone to raise their four daughters: Jo, Meg, Beth, and Amy.

On Christmas Eve, Marmee has just arrived home from passing out food to the less fortunate with a letter from her husband, the girls father. The all gather together around the fire to read the letter. Afterwards, the girls are teary eyed. Marmee kisses them and they are off to bed.

Jo is longing to become a writer. So, every night she stays up late writing the script for soap operas. As morning comes she is the last one awake. The table is set, and food prepared for their Christmas feast.

As dusk falls, the girls are all up in the attic acting out Jos play, which she reads from the local (fake) newspaper. As they are performing, their rich, next-door neighbors grandson watches from the window.

The 2 oldest girls: Jo and Meg, get ready to attend the Christmas Ball. While Jo is curling Megs hair, there is a strange smell to the air. Amy screams, Megs hair is being singed. They continue digging through the old clothes bin for a pair of white gloves.

One of the prominent themes in Little Women is the coming of age or maturation of the girls. During the course of the novel we see them grow in many ways -- physically, intellectually, and especially emotionally. One question which readers must ask themselves is whether the views the characters have on the coming of age process are shared by Alcott. If they arent, what are Alcotts views and how do they differ from those of the women in her story?

It is interesting to examine the last half of Chapter 20, "Confidential." Jo addresses the maturation issue as she speaks with Marmee of the situation between Meg and Mr. Brooke. The possible love between these two represents one of the very important aspects in coming of age for a teenage girl. Jo treats this natural process as if it were some sort of disease, however. Jo cannot understand why Meg would want to stop behaving "like a sensible creature" (p.202), and refers to love as "such nonsense."
