傲慢与偏见英语作文读后感汇总20篇

镜子说：“凭理智来领会是个悲剧，凭感情来领会是个悲剧。

镜子有一泓清净的甘露，镜子真实的看透着每一个人。镜子不会说谎。他会聚集阳光的力量，愤怒地：“燃灼”着欺骗者的心灵，却不惜用尽所有的甘露。而当镜子“空”了的时候，就真得什么也没有了。如同是湖泊的干涸，镜子，慢慢地，消失在了，人们的，眼帘之中……

傲慢，偏见，这两个毋庸质疑的贬义词，让简。奥斯丁的作品成为精致的象征一时之间闻名遐迩，从而傲慢与偏见也成为了脍炙人口的伟大着作。

简。奥斯丁生于一七七五年，卒于一八一七年。其间英国小说正处于青黄不接的是时期。当小说大师先世之后，就接踵而起以范妮。伯尼为代表的感伤派小说和哥特式传奇小说。虽然风靡，但终究因苍白无力而逐渐退出历史舞台，此后奥斯丁发表了《理智与情感》《傲慢与偏见》《劝导》等六部小说。以其理性的光芒照出了伤感、歌特小说的矫揉造作，从而现实主义小说的高潮开始启蒙。《傲慢与偏见》以男女青年的恋爱婚姻为题材。然而所不同的是，它以男女主角的爱情纠葛为主线，描述了四起姻缘，通过对照与描写，提出了道德行和行为规范的问题。

当我读完这部着作的时候，我为伊丽莎白和达西最终美满的结为伉俪而感到欣慰和满足。是的，是因为他们有傲慢，有偏见，才会有这一切的波折。伊丽莎白是个热情、活泼、却又不乏纯真的乡村少女形象。他不懂得勾心斗角，不懂得如何区分真实或是虚假，因而偏见在她心中产生。达西是一位上流社会的贵族，如此锋芒毕露的显赫地位，怎会使他不在心中拧成一份傲气?是的，他傲慢正因为如此，才让人们忽略了他身材魁伟，眉清目秀，举止高雅，一表人才的形象，任凭他财产再多，人们也只会认为他自高自大，目中无人，不好逢迎一样。伊丽莎白也只因为对达西的偏见，而使她清新了威克姆对达西人品的贬低之言。

可欣的是，达西与伊丽莎白的矛盾最终融解了。然而，设想，如果达西没有向伊丽莎白示爱意，或是在遭到拒绝和人格的侮辱后没有澄清，并放弃了对真爱的追求，那结果又会是怎样?会是一个悲剧，也许简与宾利执着的感情也会毁于一旦，莉迪娅的轻狂举动会使贝尔特家庭蒙上羞耻的阴影，名声败坏。然而这一切都没有呈现。因为达西用他理性的眼光看到了伊利沙白的纯真，他原谅了她。因为爱她，所以他会不顾祖母凯瑟琳的阻止，毅然选择了她。

这样起伏跌荡的爱情，仅有真挚爱情的滋润，他们是因为有了“爱”才走到一起，简与宾利，达西与伊丽莎白。他们的爱是纯粹的，而夏洛特与柯林斯的爱情则完完全全建立在金钱上。这两种截然不同的爱情观从那时起延续到至今，渗进了人类进步的历史之中。

我是个主张有真爱的人，因为人的一生如果是为钱而活着，那么试问，活着的意义是什么，难道只是为了拥有无忧的生活保障?当一个人成为了最富有了人，而却得不到精神上的富有，此时，当你离去的时候，余有你空空一人，拂得两袖清风却不到生命的真谛。生命是无比可贵的，紧紧地栓紧它，不能松手。我不曾了解爱情，当我知道它得来不易，它像是坐在海绵里的玻璃花瓶，也许一个侧身，就碎了，也许它永远被海绵围绕，安静的置放在那儿。谁都不知道我的会怎样，但至少，人的精神寄托是无尽与可贵的，爱情是无法用金钱来估价的。我羡慕爸妈永远幸福与甜蜜的爱情，尽管时间会冲淡一切，可在他们的平淡中，始终孕育着一股强大的美，向我冲击，向生命进发。

镜子不是透明的，但镜子会反射无限的能量。镜子不会说谎，当它枯竭的时候，它的心就真正空空如也。那，才是一个真正的悲剧。

Anne is a distinctive girl. She had her own mind. Maybe in the views of others she is a naughty girl. Especially she has a quiet sister. Comparing with Margot she was not favorable. At the beginning her general appearance her character her manners were discussed from A to Z. But with the time going by she were becoming sensible. One must apply one’s reason to everything earning to obey to hold our tongue to help to be good to give in. Life has the great power to change us to adapt it. In addition Anne started afresh and tried to get to the bottom of it all. As she said we should examine the whole matter carefully ourselves and find out what is true and what is exaggerated. In our daily life we often meet arguments with parents. We can stick to the Anne’s principle. If parents are wrong we shall try first of all to make them alter their ideas and if we don’t succeed we shall stick to our own opinions and judgement. Although she lived in a small room she still had a brightful heart. She believed that it was spiring within her she felt that spring was awaking she felt it in her whole body and soul. And in the book she wrote and thought much of the time about things which very sensitive. For example she described a lot about the affair with Peter. It’s normal for a teenager. I think parents should read this book so they can regard this question correctly.

Anne said “One certainly could not call us rich now but all my hopes are pinned on after the war.” Now we are in the peaceful world hope is full of our life. So there is no reason putting off achieving dreams we should treasure everyone everything every moment that we have.

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

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

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

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

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

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

As was the common practice with the gods of Olympus,Zeus and Hermes were visiting the world in disguise．One day they came to a village．At a thousand house sthey knocked,and a thousand times they were refused rest and food and drink．At last they arrived at a humble cottage,where the old couple Baucis and her husband Philemon lived．Poor but at peace with world,they made the best of what life could offer them ,and felt truly grateful to the gods above．When the two travellers entered the hut,the old couple were glad with lively happiness．They offered their guests their best seat,and immediately set about preparing dinner for them．With no small difficulty they made fire,brought in a fresh cabbage,cut a fat piece of their long kept meat and put them over the fire to cook．The one single goose they were ready to kill for the visitors,but it was saved at the last minute by the guests．The dining bench was a makeshift ,poor and patched but the best they had．The table was supported by a brick．The feast was quite modest,eggs and wine and cot tage cheese,and a variety of newly pickedfruit．The old couple humbly waited on the visiting guests withsincere looks and eager goodwill．Moved at the hospitality ofthe house,the gods told their true identity．“We are gods”,saidZeus．“While the neigh bour hood pays the penalty for itswickedness you shall be free from misfortune．Coming along with us”．When they were near the top of the hill,Bancis and Phile mon looked back and saw all the village below covered by amarsh ,and that among the general ruin and destruction their old cottage alone survived,changed into a grand temple．At their request they were made the guardians of the sacred place of Zeus．When their span of worldly life came to an end they were turned into an ash and linden,standing side by side in front of the temple．

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.

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.

The impressions of reading One Thousand and One Nights

Have you heard One Thousand and One Nights? There are many interesting sorties in this book and I like Alibaba and the Forty Thieves best.

Let’s share the story together. Alibaba found the gold that the thieves hid and knew the secret .With the help of the servant, he risked his life and used the great wisdom to kill forty atrocious thieves. He avenged his brother .Though he was poor, he did not take the gold himself and gave the gold to the poor. The poor loved him very much.

From the story, I feel the power of wisdom and value of love. In our actual life, we may meet many kinds of difficulties and lure. We should face them bravely and try our best to overcome them. In my daily life, I often felt panic and cried when I met any difficulties about my study. Sometimes, I ask money from my parents but do meaningless things. I am really ashamed.

In the future , I decide to study hard .I do everything that I can do to reduce the pressure of parents .I will try my best to be brave and intelligent. I believe I can do better.

I have read some parts of this nover when I was about thirteen years old,but the book was really too thick for me to read over patiently.It’s a pity that I haven’t finished it till now.But fortunately, I have watched the movie “Pride and Predudice”directed by an American film studio several months ago.

The simple but pure plot,the wonderful song,the classical custume, the luxury ball,the scene full of amorous feelings from the British country,the beatiful and stubborn actress,all of these moved me deeply.Mr. Darcy,the actor of the nover,a nobleman from the uper-classes in England,because of this , he has an inborn superiority that he looks down at every person from the lower-classes .

He don’t like neither their life style nor their way to think.Elizabeth,the actress of the nover,an obstinate,wise young girl from the lower-classes of the country.She dosen’t like anyone who is constumelious,she hates the spurs from the pride men. By these, you know,there’er lots of conflicts between them,but at last,Darcy and Elizabeth,the two different even opposite youngsters fall love .That’s very incredible.

In fact,we are always pride and think something in our mind but not right,we assess the others only depend on their background or their color of skin , we hide our true heart and pretend ,we dispise the others without any reason……But why don’t we ask ourselves in our heart or mind: what do we feel in fact? What do we need in fact? What do we hate and love in fact? Why not express our real feelings at once?Why not chase the happy we really want ?

If we can go through the hindrances that set by ourselves,if we can express the true feelings we have and say it out loudly and clearly to somebody we want to tell with, if we can give up the contumely and spurns which block us to get long well wigh the others wo love,if we can live together harmony and sincere, if ……If that day really comes,the love will come too.

《漂亮女孩夏林果》是《淘气包马小跳》系列中我最喜欢的一本书。最近，我又读了一遍《漂亮女孩夏林果》，书中的故事深深地吸引了我，淘气包马小跳和他的同学漂亮女孩夏林果的故事，很有意思。

夏林果学习优秀，是学校的大队委。她从五岁开始练芭蕾舞，她走路时眼睛永远平视前方，腰板永远挺得笔直。“六一”节她身穿雪白的芭蕾舞裙，跳起芭蕾舞，舞姿优美动人。夏林果是个善良的小姑娘。一天，她在路边捡到一只小猫，虽然她妈妈不让她养，但她舍不得，把小猫寄养在马小跳家里。为了养好这只小猫，每天放学后他们一起去超市为小猫买吃的东西，两人也成为了好朋友。

马小跳向爸爸极力推荐夏林果作为设计中国娃娃的模特。因为夏林果太在意结果表现不自然，马小跳的爸爸觉得一同去的路曼曼反而比较自然有特色。第二天，路曼曼得知自己可能成为模特后特意展现出自己标准的微笑，马小跳的爸爸却觉得放松的夏林果好看。这个小故事告诉我们，最自然状态下的美才是真正动人的。

马小跳因为觉得夏林果很优秀很漂亮，很想和夏林果同桌，但班主任秦老师认为他思想有问题向马小跳的爸爸告状，马小跳的爸爸在和马小跳沟通后发现不是孩子思想复杂，而是大人的思想复杂。笨女孩安琪儿有表演天赋参加拍摄电视剧。夏林果开始嫉妒安琪儿，但是在导演的肯定和帮助下她认识到每个人都有自己的优点。

In the process of the development of Latin American literature more than hundred years, there have been many different schools, these schools have deeply changed the world literature. Famous writer Garcia and Colombia. Gabriel Garcia marquez, with their magical thinking of the real world and, created the magic realism of this literary genre, and the author also won the Nobel Prize for literature.

Just started reading "one hundred years of solitude", we will find two strange place, one is to tell the story in the book are ridiculous; The second stage is the repeated work in the name and repeat the same thing. In real life could not have lasted more than four years of rain, an elderly father could not only drink a mouthful of cocoa can float in the air, the dead will not because to bear loneliness is to return to the earth... But it all happened in the family. More surprisingly, in the book the way across the hundred years in the family, man isnt called al jarno in dior is called ole, and all kinds of strange things in the family, the familys first generation of the founder al dior until the last guardians of the ray in jarno repeated happening. Linked to the creation of the author s and living environment, it is easy to see what this symbol.

The author in the one hundred years of solitude with fantastic language describes the entrepreneurial hardships, the emergence of civilization, reproduction and survival, love and betrayal, glory and dream, the production of capitalism, the outbreak of the civil war, the entry of monopoly capitalism, such as the fight for democracy and republic, could influence the Latin America is to let them more concentrated in a small named Malcolm in the country. Every member of the Brian dia home are deeply involved in. At the end of the story. In the last of the guardian aurelio jarno read records the fate of the family in one hundred after the parchment said: "it all, I have seen, is already know!" The author is through the summary of the character, expressed his view of history of one hundred years in Latin America, the modern Latin America more than hundred years of history is repeated, the development of Latin America and history are stagnant.

"One hundred years of solitude" is an interesting work, she didnt have the mammoth plot, the development of the story is more puzzling. When you read him, plumcakes with ChangSi, but you can feel the author repeat of history. In Latin America alone in one hundred. And couldnt help but indulge among them.

在拉美文学百余年的发展过程中，出现过许多不同的流派，这些流派都深深的改变了世界文坛。而哥伦比亚著名作家加西亚。马尔克斯，则以其对现实世界魔幻般的思索和诉说，开创了魔幻现实主义这一文学流派，而作者也因之获得了诺贝尔文学奖。

刚刚开始阅读《百年孤独》时，我们会发现作品中有两处奇怪的地方，其一是书中诉说的故事大都荒诞不经;其二是作品中人名的反复出现和相同怪事的重复发生。在现实生活中不可能会有持续了四年多的雨，一个老年神父不可能只喝了一口可可茶就能浮在空中，死者更不会因为耐不住寂寞就重返人间……但这一切都发生在了这个家族的身边。更令人奇怪的是，书中这个绵亘了百余年的世家中，男子不是叫做阿尔卡迪奥就是叫做奥雷里亚诺，而家族中各种奇怪的事情，在家族的第一代创始人阿尔卡迪奥直到家族的最后一个守护者奥雷里亚诺的身上反复的发生着。联系到作者的创作年代和生活环境，我们不难发现这象征了什么。

作者在《百年孤独》中用梦幻般的语言叙述了创业的艰辛，文明的出现，繁衍与生存，爱情与背叛，光荣与梦想，资本主义的产生，内战的爆发，垄断资本主义的进入，民主与共和之争等足以影响拉美的大事，却让他们集中发生在一个小小的名叫马尔孔多的乡村中。把布莱恩迪亚家的每个成员都深深的牵扯了进去。在故事的结尾时。家族的最后一个守护者奥雷里亚诺阅读了记载这个百年世家的命运的羊皮卷后说：“这里面所有的一切，我都曾经看到过，也早已知道!”作者正是借这个总结性的人物之口，表达了自己对拉丁美洲百年历史的看法，即近代拉美百余年的历史是重复的，拉美的发展和历史进程都停滞不前。

《百年孤独》是一部有趣的作品，她没有波澜壮阔的情节，故事的发展更是令人费解。当你读完他，掩卷长思，你却可以感受到作者对历史的重复。对拉美的孤独百年的思考。并情不自禁的沉浸其中。

最近读了《傲慢与偏见》，颇有感受。本书作者是简·奥斯丁，她是英国小说家，她没有上过正规学校但在父母的.指导下，在她20岁左右开始了写作。从18世纪末到19世纪初，充斥英国文坛的只是“伤感小说”和“哥特小说”，而奥斯丁的小说却破旧立新，一反常规地展现了英国的日常生活和田园风光。

《傲慢与偏见》就以喜剧为结局，讲述了四段婚姻：简与宾利先生的一见钟情，让双方步入爱河;伊丽莎白和达西先生之间存在了许多误会，后来误会化作了理解，加德纳夫妇把伊丽莎白带到了德比郡，二人结为伉俪;而轻浮放荡、爱慕虚荣的莉迪亚和满是虚伪的威克姆草率冲动的在一起，让街坊邻居说尽了闲言碎语;柯林斯与夏洛特仅仅追求物质生活，让贝内特太太头痛不已……

四段婚姻，形成了两种鲜明的对比，前者追求真爱而后者追求物质生活。当然，《傲慢与偏见》中不仅仅批判了后者的愚昧无知，还有上流社会中的太太们思想上的封建：认为只有上等人才配得上自己的儿女、亲人。总是傲睨自若的对待那些无权无势的人，这使得普通百姓总是片面的看待他们，可能他们很善良。但在人们的交往中，普通百姓仍持有对他们的偏见——他们很傲慢!

其实我认为那些无权无势的人的偏见是不错的，倘若那些上层人士放下架子、和善待人，那么不仅仅是简，宾利先生和伊丽莎白，达西先生的婚姻那么顺利，整个社会都会变得和谐!

My Feelings after reading Wuthering Heights

Wuthering Heights is a well-written tragedy of love. After reading the whole story, I would like to talk about the main characters of the story—Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff. Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff love each other very much, but they do not have the right attitude towards love, which leads to the tragedy.

In Catherine’s life, she made a very foolish decision---marrying to Edgar. In fact, her love for Edgar can never be compared to that for Heathcliff. She did so, because she thought the wealth of Edgar would be useful to Heathcliff. But in reality, it did not work. She did not have a good understanding of love, which is something pure and saint. If anyone add any purpose into love, love itself lost its meaning. Catherine’s wrong decision hurt two people who love her, and even destroyed the happiness of their offspring.

Heathcliff is a man full of retaliation. He loved Catherine very much, but what he did, on the contrary, added to the misery of Catherine. In my opinion, if he really loved Catherine, he should not walk into Catherine’s life again after his disappearance. Further more, after the death of Catherine, what Heathcliff did brought agony to Catherine’s daughter, as well as his own son.

After reading, I have a better understanding of love. If you love really someone, his or her happiness is the thing that most matters.

《呼啸山庄》读后感

《呼啸山庄》是一部写得很好的爱情悲剧。读完整个故事,我想谈谈故事的主人公——凯瑟琳和希斯克利夫。凯瑟琳和希斯克利夫非常相爱,但他们没有采取正确的态度对待爱情,从而导致悲剧。

在凯瑟琳的生命中,她作了一个非常愚蠢的决定——和埃德加结婚。事实上,她给埃德加的爱永远不可能与给希斯克利夫的相比。她这样做,是因为她认为埃德加的财富会对希斯克利夫有用。但实际上,它没有用。她不懂得爱情,爱情是圣洁的。如果有人给爱情添加任何目的,爱情本身就失去了意义。凯瑟琳的错误决定伤害了两个爱她的人,甚至破坏了他们的后代的幸福。

希斯克利夫是一个充满复仇心的男人。他非常爱凯瑟琳,但他的所作所为恰恰相反地增加了凯瑟琳的痛苦。在我看来,如果他真的爱凯瑟琳,他不应该在他消失之后再次走进凯瑟琳的生活。此外,凯瑟琳死后,希斯克利夫给凯瑟琳的女儿以及他自己的儿子带来了极度的痛苦,。

读后,我对爱有了一个更好的理解。如果你真的爱某人,他或她的幸福绝对经得住所有困难的考验。

Read the red and black "is a time too long process, because time already gave writers and works most selfless and impartial judge, I like reading attitude to bestseller since can’t, and can’t be like that unbridled fiction was noncommittal on that. I’m in with the mind talking with that era, the key is in history outside of the inquiry and thinking

Lead me finish the book is gnaw its own great charm. The authors from a paper simple criminal case showed that time data broader social screen, turn an ordinary criminal improve to early nineteenth century French bourgeoisie social system, make the level of the research history and philosophy. Novel makes me see history books in curt inability to feel, that France and bourgeois big noble alternating the key period of ruling the condition. I learn realistic works of another kind of artistic characteristics of the world of people - 1783 stendhal "soul dialectics"; This and I had from the high old man ", "ouye ni · lattice lang sets of Balzac in" the experience "caused a person’s circumstances" very different.

The most dazzling encyclopedia is literary history famous characters, in SuoLeiEr natural is even higher, "civilian background, culture, as happened with the hostess governess, relationships, dew, the shot that lover, was sentenced to death" is his life’s skeleton, "pursue" happy "warm" and "perseverance and class differences revolt showed almost hero’s spirit is moving flesh and blood. The author USES desalt material description and highlight the gimmick of mind tracking, it is to strengthen the impulse even in youth pursuit of "the hero’s dream" experience, this is the social form of resistance, but also for proudlly, our lost youth rebellion.

For ambition in social reality when hampering only two choices: retreats or resistance. Those small staff in advance, not all the youth is complaining life tedious withdraws person, they maybe mediocrity comfortably was social forward eliminated. Can continually establish a life goal, decided to achieve the ideal of life is and YuLianYou masculine-looking same protesters. The era of course not welcome false words as the method, but still need enthusiasm for life to oppose empty to live. So, in the end even tragic except shows "personal rebellion won’t work" outside, the more practical significance in today’s society.

Write so far, leads to the novel to a "firsts" -- made with DE pepe reina in even Mrs "spiritual love" and to connect with DE la Moore young lady "mind love" set each other off becomes an interest. Although the two aristocratic way of love, a very different deep, a frantic, they in these two basic points is consistent, that is: to this class of disgust, MenFa system and rebellious feudal. Remember when julien jeanvier find their love is morphing into vanity said "I put their tools can be destroyed", after the detail is "a proud with malicious expression between the most sincere quickly replaced the most intense love, look." The noble from miss is always slow as the tortoise climb, like life, with a loss of dignity method. Evoked love Book two paragraphs of tragic love has always been with the progress of the upstart dominated and even inferiority in the suspect, until brought life shall be the end, love that broke the futility of primitive sparks, a illnesses.

When I will put pen to write with consciousness, found that when the time already can feel with the time with a psychic reading the original compared.

这部出自英国作家奥斯丁之手的浪漫爱情小说，其中一直夹带着浪漫最大的“敌人”——现实!没有浪漫的爱情就失去了其本身的美好的色彩，但小说中种种门当户对等一系列现实问题却充斥其间。

小说共写了四桩婚姻故事，可以说这四桩婚事代表了世界上各种类型的婚姻。文中着重描写的是最单纯、最纯粹的爱情——不是为了财富，不是为了地位，仅仅是和自己所爱的人在一起——达西与伊丽莎白的爱情。

其中最荒谬、最令人不齿的是贝内特家族的小女儿与威科姆的婚事。威科姆是一个表里不一的伪君子，险些欺骗伊丽莎白，后伊丽莎白在其舅舅舅妈的规劝以及自己理智冷静的控制自己的感情之下，没有上他的当。是谎言终究会被揭穿：达西戳穿了他的谎言。可是谁知小女儿放荡无知，竟和他私奔了!最后还是在达西的资助下才有钱成婚，婚后还自诩幸福。这种由无知导致两人不顾一切结婚，自以为幸福，却不知遭了多少人的唾弃、鄙视。

第二桩婚事明显简单了许多：结婚的目的就是为了金钱和财富，没有任何感情基础。夏绿蒂和科斯林可所谓门当户对，金钱成为他们俩唯一的挂钩。虽然婚后并不算幸福，但不得不承认，钱改善了生活，过的并不差。现在像这样为钱而婚的、没有感情的婚姻早已屡见不鲜。

宾利与简的爱情故事算是大众的表现了，两情相悦，众望所归。虽免不了过程有些曲折，但终究在亲友祝福、父母见证下完婚。婚后幸福而美满，和睦且融洽。

达西与伊丽莎白的爱情可算的上是难能可贵了。达西对伊丽莎白的一见不钟情，二见却倾心的感情一直持续了下去，伊丽莎白对他则算是日久生情。两个人闹过矛盾，吵过架，翻过脸，伊丽莎白还曾一度讨厌他，但最后在达西的耐心解释下，一封真情流露的长信，揭穿了威科姆的真实面目，为自己洗脱那些污蔑他的谣言，使伊丽莎白对他刮目相看。后来达西对伊丽莎白一家人给予帮助，一点也没有他那傲慢的特性和那种上流社会的偏见，终于感动了伊丽莎白——她曾今还拒绝过达西的求婚，达西竟然还能伸出援手，不变感情——文中许多描写两人心理的句子很值得回味。两人最终结成百年好合，也算是来之不易的幸福。

全文四桩婚事犀利批判当时社会多数人的婚姻价值观在于金钱财富，而文章中达西与伊丽莎白的爱情故事则犹如镜中花、水中月，似乎遥不可及。所以在追求爱情的路上，一定要坚持自己的信念，不要因为金钱、名利等现实因素而草草决定，要坚持寻找自己的真爱，要学会珍惜相爱的彼此，不要由于别人的一些话而改变自己，相信自己，幸福要自己去经营!

小说中的玫兰妮也给人非常深刻的印象，她身材娇小，外柔内刚，善良，却有着惊人的毅力，可以说是伟大的女人。在斯佳丽快支撑不下去的时候给她以精神力量，在斯佳丽被人们唾弃时以全力来维护她。但斯佳丽一直没意识到，甚至恨她。直到玫兰妮临死前，她才意识到自己离了玫兰妮是活不下去的，玫兰妮才是真正爱她的，她也爱玫兰妮。她依赖玫兰妮，正象她依赖自己一样。可这时，玫兰妮却又把丈夫阿希礼和儿子都托付给了她。因为阿希礼是一个内蕴丰富注重道德，名誉的绅士，在这样的战争年代就显出了他的无能为力。 玫兰妮，一个弱小的女子，她却是勇敢坚强的斯佳丽和儒雅绅士阿希礼的精神支柱，也是风流倜傥、豪放磊落的瑞特值得信赖的伟大的女人，显示出了她的内在美。

斯佳丽，貌似天真却富于心计，争强好胜又倔强坚韧，历经情场失意，内乱战火，家园重建，爱女夭折，丈夫出走等等一连串巨大的困难和挫折，但是她很少胆怯，一次次重新把生活的主动权夺回到自己手中。每当她在遇到难题时，她就想：不管怎么说，明天又是新的一天。便是她乐观自强人生的最好表白。她爱过两个男人，但都没有真正去了解他们，所以才双双失去了他们。如果她了解过阿希礼，她就决不会爱他了;如果他真正了解过瑞特，那么她就不会失去他了。

可最让观众和读者感动的是瑞特对斯佳丽的爱，达到了男人爱女人的极限。但他做不法的生意，发的是不义之财，所以一直被人们所唾弃，也是斯佳丽对其产生防范的一个原因，但主要还是每次相逢他总说中她的内心，而让斯佳丽恼火，从而对他的爱产生怀疑。直到有了女儿，把爱转移到女儿身上，人们才对他改变了看法，但女儿夭折，他对斯佳丽的爱也消失贻尽。

There are many parts I like:"The Ugly Duckling" tells of a homely little bird born in a barnyard who suffers abuse from his surroundings until, much to his delight (and to the surprise of others)， he matures into a beautiful swan, the most beautiful bird of all. The story is beloved around the world as a tale about personal transformation for the better." The Angel"?, which about an angel and a dead child gathering flowers to carry to Heaven, reminds us of the punishment which we would accumulate on the ill-use and under-use of our talents and situations.

"The Little Mermaid lifted her glorified eyes towards the sun, and felt them, for the first time, filling with tears.” The Mermaids sacrifice is not incidental, or because she made the mistake of loving a human, or because she wanted a soul, or be a complete human, or as her final rite of passage.

Obviously ,as human beings and ‘children of God’， we should possess the essential goodness. The fairy tales show us about the importance of kindness, of perseverance, of obedience which we should follow in life.

I love the theme of Andersens Fairy tales : "There is no love greater than this: That someone gives his life for his friend." It also points out the importance of wisdom in a persons life. we can see more important aspects of life.

The story of the magnolias father from the army has been around for a thousand years, and we have been very much admired by the woman named hua mulan.Last year, the school played "mulan" to show the heroic killing of the valiant female general mulan.

Watching this movie is like going through a thrilling battle. The real performance of zhao has infected all the audience.At the beginning of the film, the director deliberately lowered the lens to allow you to see four-fifths of the yellow earth, only a blue-blue sky.In such a barren land, the people of the gentle barbarian, the blood of the human life, the soldiers in the peaceful life, a show in front of the present.The film is only slightly used to coax his father to drink or drink the details of the medicine, he explained to hua mulan from the small learning of the martial arts, and the deep love of the old father.Zhao weis acting without the trace, without the beauty of the big eyes, has already made the character of hua mulans kindness and bravery crystal clear.There are a lot of comments criticizing "mulan" for crying too much, and in my opinion, both zhao wei and Chen kuns cries are in line with the plot development.

Death makes soldiers grow, and sorrow is beyond reproach.When hua mulan led the army to the "dragon", it was almost wiped out.The name of hua mulan in the boundless desert of wentai.Seriously injured in the hua mulan miss staring at this time, back from the dead people in their own cries and screams, at this time no matter the film actor, or theater in the audience was moved to tears and visceral.

The whole atmosphere of mulan is sad, and the emotional entanglements and the cruelty of the war have been intensified.But we still want to thank the director for being able to give the audience a lot of grief

Bring a smile.In fact, from the atmosphere, we can see the director and the writers heart.If the whole film is in a subdued emotional tone, and there is no easy transition to a heavy shift without the ups and downs of the plot, then the overall view of the film is not likely to be so full.

Of course, there are some shortcomings. Most of the scenes in the war scene are in the lens of the scene, and it seems difficult to satisfy the visual impact of the audience.The director understands his own advantages, so his script does not stand in a macho mood to show mulan, but chooses the female perspective to interpret our heroine.He mainly showed how a woman was able to survive and protect her feelings during the war.Heroines have her courage and strength, but also her vulnerability and evasion.So, we can see a full of individual character, image full of hua mulan, with femininity and daughter psychology to show the cruelty of war, and we also can see children affair in the national interest and anti-war feelings show different performance.

Everybody has read a famous masterpiece - "treasure island", Treasure Island English reading. The book revolves around an adventure story, in which a young man was born in a poor home to make a living in a hotel. The boy is the hero of the book, Jim. Hawkins. He stumbled upon a map of a desert island where old pirates hid gold and silver. So, he and other friends to discuss, with a group of seaman embarked on a trip to find. But soon, they were a group of seaman mutiny, the two sides keen on the battlefield, they launched a thrilling fight with the enemy. Finally, because all the efforts of the crew, charged to victory, Jim soon, they carried the wealth jubilantly with the home.

Although I did not go there in person adventure, but in my mind, always emerge a picture, Jim his honest face always appeared in his side, he is so noble, kind, brave, he is always able to subdue the pirates, victory, he is so brave! When I heard him this sentence shaking shock, such as this one: we see the land that night, I was in the apple barrel, I heard you, John, and Dick Johnson. - you, it is a Chinese, he is now at the bottom of the sea, I am still a little while, every word you said the report, the "treasure Island" in English reading. As for the schooner? It made me cut off the ropes of the ship. It was I who killed you on the ship...... When I saw these, I was very shocked, a juvenile can have so much courage to say these, which I admire.

Of course, I admire people who have a resentment of the people, such as Silver as the representative of the people, in their body are hypocritical, presumptuous, evil, they kill the lives of others for themselves, they do not feel guilty for what you have done, but more and more rampant. Think of the money the brain is empty, finally only kill the idea, to a mans throat cut, run amuck. Let my mind they all come out with a pair of ferocious terror ningxiao eyes with a seaman knife killed many people crazy, only for their own benefit and loss of humanity.

Although the novel is genuine, his work embodies a sharp confrontation between good and evil. I think the story warns us not to do anything selfish, because it is the wrong way in your life, and Jim is a kind of spiritual wealth represented by justice.

Its simple plot relates the misfortunes of the loyal Christian slave, Tom, who, deprived of familial love and affection and destined for the harsh life of plantation slavery, doesn’t rebel or curse God, but philosophically accepts his cruel fate. He could leap overboard Cold River to save the drowning daughter of a wealthy white passenger who gratefully rewards the brave Negro by buying him.

Tom seems destined, now, to live out his life in a pleasant New Orleans mansion, spending his days reading Bible aloud and singing religious hymns with the angelic little Eva. But the child dies of tuberculosis, having first elicited a promise from her father to free the loyal Tom. The father is killed , however, in a brawl before he can fulfill his pledge and his widow is forced to sell Tom, who becomes the property of the heartless Simon Legree. He soon learns how really harsh the life of plantation can be, but he remains true to his religious training, elated by his pious acceptance of God’s will. Harassed by the evil Legree ,Tom displays his Christian charity by refusing to flog another slave .Simon Legree may not own Tom’s soul ,but he can do as he chooses with the body, and he orders two of his slaves, Sambo and Quimba, to whip the unresisting Tom, whose only responses to the merciless beating is a plea to stop in order that Legree might save his own soul.

On his deathbed, Tom charitably forgives the harsh Legree. Ironically, he lives long enough to witness the arrival of his former master’s son, come to redeem the family pledge by buying him back and granting his freedom.

The theme of Uncle Tom’s Cabin, for its all apparent simplicity, is representative of much of 19th century American fiction of the good man opposed by evil personified under the circumstance of slavery.

What strikes me is Tom’s loyalty to his religious belief. All of us has our own belief , it plays a most important part in our life, it supports us whenever we are caught in rough conditions ,it helps us get out of the dark to see the sunrise, it teach us how to adapt ourselves to different circumstances.

Life is full of ups and downs; we should hold our belief to fight against them to realize our goals!

Pride and Prejudice is my favorite novel, which impresses me for a long time. It describes a love story mainly between Elisabeth, who I like the best, and a rich and proud man, Darcy.

The story began with the arrival of a crowd of rich men who rent a house near the Bennet. In a ball, Elisabeth gave such a bad impression on Darcy’s first pride that she refused Darcy’s first proposal. Darcy was so surprised by Elisabeth’s refusal that he loved Elisabeth more deeply. And Elisabeth’s antipathy made Darcy realize his shortcomings. He was not angry about Elisabeth’s censure, but also he changed his previous proud attitude.

During Elisabeth’s travel in Darcy’s manor. Darcy was very nice to her uncle and aunt, different from previous proud attitude. When one of Elisabeth’s sisters ran away with Wickham, Darcy helped Elisabeth find her sister and prevent her sister from the loss of reputation, with nobody knowing that it was he who helped the Bennet. So many changes in Darcy eliminated Elisabeth’s prejudice. At last it end with their marriage.

Taking the daily life as its material, this story reflected the life and love in a conservative你 and blocking England town. It reflected the author’s view about marriage that it is fault to marry for property, money and status and it is also foolish to take these elements into account. In fact Darcy’s pride manifested the gap between their statuses.

Since his pride existed, there is no ideal marriage between Elisabeth and Darcy. From the different attitudes from Darcy’s two proposals, it reflected the feminine pursuit of personality independence and right equality, which is a progressive character from the image of Elisabeth.

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 .
