看哪!那金黄的麦田,随风起伏,闪烁摇曳。如金灿灿的流苏,似一片黄澄澄的大海,更恍若一个永恒的微笑。

——题记

嘹亮的鸡鸣将我从沉沉的梦中唤醒。

蓦然回想起,儿时曾住在乡间的奶奶家。那时候,我总是喜欢睡在麦田里,让浓浓的麦香和清新的泥土芬芳伴我睡去,更喜欢醒在一阵欢乐而嘹亮的鸡鸣声中。在麦田里站起,望远处蓝蓝的天、苍翠的树以及星罗棋布点缀在麦田边的农居。那一刻,我觉得自己的渺小——我只是一个在蓝天之下,麦田之中的守望者,守着一个悠远绵长的梦。

奶奶对我说:“孩子,你长大了要做一个有出息的人”。

我却看着寂寞的稻草人,心里想,它愿为守护这一片麦田而努力,它的心,是多么的执着。

后来,我随着爸妈来到了城市。每每在笔尖触碰稿纸之际,我发现自己总有满满充盈的词汇,总会有意想不到的顿悟。仿佛总有一股浪漫的情怀溢满心头且久久不散。我还常常会在观摩一件静默的物体时顿生感动,我摸摸自己的胸口,感觉到一颗柔软的,炽热的又散发着麦香的心在沉稳地跳动。

也许,守望的道路是艰难的,就好像是明明知道目标就在前方的不远处,眼前却始终笼罩着一层薄雾,无论如何,我不会放弃,守望的目标则越来越清晰。

渐渐地,我开始把自己创作的小文向一些报刊投稿。虽然这其中经历过许多的艰辛与挫折,一次又一次的退稿,曾让我产生放弃的念头,一次又一次的失败,曾让我失去前进的动力。但是,我最终坚持了下来,孤独地前行着,我在心里默记着,我的哪些小文一一找到了它应有的归宿,我也渐渐地被人熟知——这个固执的、寂寥的,从不张扬的麦田里的守望者。

如今,我依然在守望着——心中的那一片金黄的麦田。

经过风尘仆仆的奔波,我回到了久违的乡间。终于扑进了这片麦田,尽情拥抱那不变的风,不变的阳光,不变的稻草人。

小麦们笑着,闹着,挤挤挨挨,靠近我。我嗅到她们的芳香一如往昔。我找到那个稻草人,他也还是熟悉的样子,我走上前,轻轻拉正他残破的蓑衣,我问他:“依然在守望吗?”

他沉默着,嘴角漾起一丝不易察觉的微笑。

他会不会就是我?没有人能知道。

导语:《三国演义》是中国四大名著之一。下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的优秀英语读后感,欢迎阅读与借鉴,谢谢!

Recently I have read a famous Chinese classical novel-The romance of the Three Kingdoms and I felt benefit a lot. Let me tell you about my feelings.

The romance of the Three Kingdoms is one of the four great Chinese master pieces. It was written by Luo Guanzhong, who was born in 1330. It describes nearly 200 characters and tells the story from the late Eastern Han dynasty to the unified of Jin dynasty.

The minute I started to read this book, I was deeply impressed by the sentence at the beginning of the novel: "The empire, long divided, must unite; long united, must divide." It is so philosophical. It reflected the main history of the Three Kingdoms, from the rebellion of the Yellow Turbans to the replacement of the division of the country into Three Kingdoms (Wei, Shu and Wu) by the Jin Dynasty. In these periods, it showed a lot of heroic deeds, and what the heroes did had made a brilliant history. In this novel, the hero I admire mostly is Guan Yu, the general of Shu.

"A man of enormous height, nine spans tall, with a two-foot-long beard flowing from his rich, ruddy cheeks. He had glistening lips, eyes sweeping sharply back like those of the crimson-faced phoenix, and brows like nestling silkworms. His stature was imposing, his bearing awesome." This is Guan Yus appearance. He was called as hero not only because of his handsome looking, but because of his precious characters.

He is the embodiment of loyalty, wisdom and bravery. Once, when Guan Yu was having a battle with Cao Cao (the Master of Wei), he lost connection with Liu Bei(the Master of Shu), and finally he had to surrender because Liu Beis family was with him. Cao Cao appreciated Guan Yus talents, he provided a fabulous palace and lots of money to Guan Yu. Despite Guan Yu was taken good care of in the Cao Cao’s camp, but his heart was still with the Liu Bei’s camp. He had never given up looking for his master. As soon as he got the news of Liu Bei, Guan Yu had forced five passes and slew six captains, finally he found his master. His behavior showed not only his loyalty to his master but also his bravery.

Admittedly, Guan Yus death is also a lamentable. Because of his complacency, he looked down on the army of Wu, lost Jingzhou (an important City), finally, he flopped, and was killed by his personal enemy.

With his personal likes and dislikes, regardless of the consequences, it led to the disruption of the alliance between Wu and Shu, the whole situation was changed greatly.

Guan Yu’s lesson tells us: No matter how talented you are, you’d better remain modest and be humble.

This is a great novel that depicts the countless legendary stories. We can learn not only the characters of the heroes, but also the political and military strategies. It is a best way to experience the profound Chinese ancient culture. Tiancheng(Daniel)Dai

【参考译文】

最近我读了一本著名的中国古典小说>,我觉得受益匪浅。让我告诉你我的感受。

三国演义是中国四大名著之一。这是罗贯中写的,他出生于1330。它描述了近200个字,讲述了从东汉晚期到金朝统一的故事。

从我开始读这本书的那一刻起,我就对小说开头的一句话印象深刻:“帝国,长期分裂,必须团结;长期团结,必须分裂。”。它反映了三个王国的主要历史,从黄巾起义到国家部门更换成三个王国(魏、舒、吴)由晋。在这些时期,它表现了许多英雄事迹,英雄们做了辉煌的历史。在这部小说中,我最敬佩的英雄是舒将军关羽。

一个身材高大,身高九米,长着一二英尺长胡须的男人从他那红润红润的脸颊上流出。他有着闪亮的嘴唇,眼睛像深红色的凤凰一样深深地向后扫着,眉毛像刚开花的蚕。他的身材很高,他的举止令人敬畏.“这是关羽的样子。他之所以被称为英雄不仅是因为他英俊的外表,而是因为他珍贵的品格。

他是忠诚、智慧和勇敢的化身。有一次,当关羽和曹操(魏的主人)发生战斗时,他失去了与刘备(舒的主人)的联系,最后他不得不投降,因为刘备的家人和他在一起。曹操欣赏关羽的才华,他为关羽提供了一座华丽的宫殿和很多钱。尽管关羽在曹操的营地里得到了很好的照顾,但他的心仍然在刘备的营地里。他从未放弃寻找他的主人。关羽一听到刘备的消息,就强行传了五关,打死了六个上尉,最后他找到了他的主人。他的行为不仅表现出他对主人的忠诚,而且表现了他的勇敢。

诚然,关羽的死也是悲惨的。因为他的自满,他看不起吴的军队,失去了荆州(一个重要的城市),最后,他失败了,并被他的仇人杀死。

他不顾个人好恶,不顾后果,导致吴与舒的同盟破裂,整个局面发生了重大变化。

关羽的教训告诉我们:无论你多么有天赋,你最好保持谦虚和谦虚。

这是一部描写无数传奇故事的伟大小说。我们不仅可以学习英雄人物,而且可以学习政治和军事战略。是体验博大精深的中国古代文化的最佳途径。田成(丹尼尔)

凡·高,一个将画视为生命,甚至超过生命的人,一个真正用灵魂的色彩来绘画的人。可当他放下画笔时,却拿起枪结束了自己被人世束缚的生命。

他生命的热情,像是飞蛾扑火般冲动,像是美人鱼起舞般陶醉。他的色彩,跳跃着疯狂迷醉的舞蹈,奔放地随意旋转着,令人目眩;又似一首激昂的舞曲,想要跳出世俗的束缚。

他橘红色的发须是张扬也是落寞,那纠结的眉头总让人感到一种莫名的忧伤,他的《自画像》让人心疼。他总是充满幻想,却游走于极端,他总在绘画中与自己苦斗。他执著地爱着《向日葵》,他用抒情的笔调充分展示着那黄金般的绚丽色彩,一朵一朵绽放的花如同火焰,正如他自己所说,“这是爱的最强光”。

他的画,是永不熄灭的篝火,如同那激情似火的向日葵,按捺不住内心强烈的欲望,正奋力摆脱花瓶的束缚,奔向太阳。他的感情过于炽烈,总是因现实的黑暗而绝望;他的灵魂过于纯洁,总是因世人的污浊而叹息;他对梦想过于执著,魔鬼称他为上帝,上帝叫他为孩子,人们称他为疯子。

他说:“我是以向日葵的姿态活着,而不是以束缚的姿态活着。”看凡·高的画,第一眼看到的是耀眼的光华,第二眼看到的是太阳恋上雪花的矛盾,第三眼感受到的则是雪花在太阳狂吻下的无奈与消亡。

画如人生。当你被那金灿灿的麦田吸引时,你可曾注意到画面角落里阴冷,是否注意到那令人不寒而栗的送葬队伍?凡·高的绝笔画面,仿佛就是他自我生命的写照,是他宿命的遗言。灿如黄金的麦田之上,一群乌鸦飞过,也许,他觉得自己就像那个被束缚的稻草人,希望在阳光下沐浴却又无法忍受乌鸦的啃食。他选择了简单的方式让自己解脱,谁也不知道在中弹后的几天他是怎样度过的,是挣扎在生与死的边缘,还是静静地等待死亡。

凡·高,一个渴望自由的麦田守望者,一个天堂里的快乐狂人。

导语:《星际动物园》我们人类战无不胜是因为我们智力发达。我们会思想,会说话,会使用工具,会制造精妙的机器。我们是再聪明不过的动物……下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的优秀英语读后感,欢迎阅读与借鉴,谢谢!

As the only living things on a bare planet called “Just Like Home”, humans felt lonely and sad. In order to live, they must get married as often as possible and have children. Unwilling to get married, our 16-year-old protagonist named Humming Bird ran away from her planet and found a plastic space ship. There she met various kinds of animals, which frightened her even drove her crazy. She had never seen such things before. Only through ‘The Book Of Remembering’ did she get some rough idea of animals. After she took a small-copied cat home and showed it to the officials on her planet, the cat was shot to death and all the officials went crazy. Humming Brid didn’t give up her attempt to let people accept the animals. She decided to set about the job from children…

That’s the brief plot of Harry Gilbert’s science fiction—. Based on the reality of increasing environmental problems, the writer uses his full imagination and creativity to produce this vivid imaginative and thought-provoking story.

As far as we know, animal numbers are now diminishing all over the world every years, and the living conditions we depend on a getting worse. We dirty the air with gases and smoke, poison the water with chemicals and other substances and damage the soil with too many fertilizers and pesticides. We also pollute our surroundings in many other ways. Air, water and soil are all very important and necessary to the survival of all living things all over the world. If we human don’t pay more attention to that, there will come a day when we have to live the kind of life described in this novel. As we know, the world is made up not only of human beings but also a lot of other living things. If we don’t want to leave this perfect planet, we have to protect the environment; otherwise, without the company of other living things, people would only be half-alive, men only half-men.Nowadays, I should say, people have realized the importance of environmental protection and ecological balance. Slogans that remind us to save water and electricity are stuck everywhere, but how many are treated as requirements or duties and not just a piece of paper. If we pay a little attention to our working and study places, we always find some taps half opened with running water, and large numbers of people get used to leave lights on during the day. Dustbins for both recycled and unredeemable rubbish are placed in high density but no one bothers to throw the rubbish into the right dustbins. Nor do they even know what kind of rubbish could be recycled and what kind could not.Conservation centers for protecting animals are built in many countries. Our government also passed some acts to protect animals; however, there do exist some law-breakers who are driven by money. We plant trees very year, but no one bothers to water and care for them after planting them. For money, some farmers drive their sheep and cattle to grasslands and charge it into desert.All in all, to every one, I want to say, “Living on this wonderful planet earth, we are lucky and happy. In order to enjoy this kind of wonderful life, we must care for mother earth and put this kind of care into practice.”

Facing the world, to be or not to be, it’s up to you. We must make a choice without any hesitation!

篇4:《简爱》的英文读后感

人们普遍认为《简·爱》是夏洛蒂·勃朗特“诗意的生平写照”,是一部具有自传色彩的作品。下面是语文迷网整理的简爱英文读后感范文,供大家参考选择。

篇1:《简爱》英文读后感

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 companion 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 personality.

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.

篇2:《简爱》英文读后感

I first read "Jane Eyre" in eighth grade and have read it every few years since. It is one of my favorite novels, and so much more than a gothic romance to me, although thats how I probably would have defined it at age 13. I have always been struck, haunted in a way, by the characters - Jane and Mr. Rochester. They take on new depth every time I meet them...and theirs is a love story for the ages.

Charlotte Brontes first published novel,www.99zuowen.com, and her most noted work, is a semi-autobiographical coming-of-age story. Jane is plain, poor, alone and unprotected, but due to her fierce independence and strong will she grows and is able to defy societys expectations of her. This is definitely feminist literature, published in 1847, way before the beginning of any feminist movement. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the novel has had such a wide following since it first came on the market. It is also one of the first gothic romances published and defines the genre.

Jane Eyre, who is our narrator, was born into a poor family. Her parents died when she was a small child and the little girl was sent to live with her Uncle and Aunt Reed at Gateshead. Janes Uncle truly cared for her and showed his affection openly, but Mrs. Reed seemed to hate the orphan, and neglected her while she pampered and spoiled her own children. This unfair treatment emphasized Janes status as an unwanted outsider. She was often punished harshly. On one occasion her nasty cousin Jack picked a fight with her. Jane tried to defend herself and was locked in the terrifying "Red Room" as a result. Janes Uncle Reed had died in this room a little while before, and Mrs. Reed knew how frightened she was of the chamber. Since Jane is the narrator, the reader is given a first-hand impression of the childs feelings, her heightened emotional state at being imprisoned. Indeed, she seems almost like an hysterical child, filled with terror and rage. She repeatedly calls her condition in life "unjust" and is filled with bitterness. Looking into the mirror Jane sees a distorted image of herself. She views her reflection and sees a "strange little figure," or "tiny phantom." Jane has not learned yet to subordinate her passions to her reason. Her passions still erupt unchecked. Her isolation in the Red Room is a presentiment of her later isolation from almost every society and community. This powerful, beautifully written scene never fails to move me.

Mrs. Reed decided to send Jane away to the Lowood School, a poor institution run by Mr. Brocklehurst, who believed that suffering made grand people. All the children there were neglected, except to receive harsh punishment when any mistake was made. At Lowood, Jane met Helen Burns, a young woman a little older than Jane, who guided her with vision, light and love for the rest of her life. Janes need for love was so great. It really becomes obvious in this first friendship. Helen later died from fever, in Janes arms. Her illness and death could have been avoided if more attention had been paid to the youths. Jane stayed at Lowood for ten years, eight as a student and two as a teacher. Tired and depressed by her surroundings, Jane applied for the position of governess and found employment at Thornfield. The mansion is owned by a gentleman named Edward Fairfax Rochester. Her job there was to teach his ward, an adorable little French girl, Adele. Over a long period the moody, inscrutable Rochester confides in Jane and she in him. The two form an unlikely friendship and eventually fall in love. Again, Janes need for love comes to the fore, as does her passionate nature. She blooms. A dark, gothic figure, Rochester also has a heart filled with the hope of true love and future happiness with Jane. Ironically, he has brought all his misery, past and future, on himself.

All is not as it seems at Thornfield. There is a strange, ominous woman servant, Grace Poole, who lives and works in an attic room. She keeps to herself and is rarely seen. From the first, however, Jane has sensed bizarre happenings at night, when everyone is asleep .There are wild cries along with violent attempts on Rochesters life by a seemingly unknown person. Jane wonders why no one investigates Mrs. Poole. Then a strange man visits Thornfield and mysteriously disappears with Mr. Rochester. Late that night Jane is asked to sit with the man while the lord of the house seeks a doctors help. The man has been seriously wounded and is weak from loss of blood. He leaves by coach, in a sorry state, first thing in the morning. Janes questions are not answered directly. This visit will have dire consequences on all involved. An explosive secret revealed will destroy all the joyful plans that Jane and Rochester have made. Jane, once more will face poverty and isolation.

Charlotte Brontes heroine Jane Eyre, may not have been graced with beauty or money, but she had a spirit of fire and was filled with integrity and a sense of independence - character traits that never waned in spite of all the oppression she encountered in life. Ms. Bronte brings to the fore in "Jane Eyre" such issues as: the relations between men and women in the mid-19 century, womens equality, the treatment of children and of women, religious faith and hypocrisy (and the difference between the two), the realization of selfhood, and the nature of love and passion. This is a powerhouse of a novel filled with romance, mystery and passions. It is at once startlingly fresh and a portrait of the times. Ms. Bronte will make your heart beat faster, your pulse race and your eyes fill with tears.

晚上10点多,突然想看这部约翰尼·德普喜欢的名著。其实早就想看,只是一直在图书馆都没有找到,今天在网上看到了,一看才227页,就想看完它。

小说主人公是一个17岁却长得很高的漂亮的中产阶级的小伙子。从小生活在纽约,生活没有什么可愁的,不愁吃不愁穿更不愁花钱,所以丢了什么都不在乎,没有真正自己喜欢的东西,找不到自己的目标。但是痛恨一切假模假式的东西,包括人,宗教,小说,电影,演员的演技等等。所以小说开始的时候,主人公就被潘西学校,当地一个很好的学校开除了,因为他修了五门功课有四门没有及格,并且学习不认真。而他真正离开学校的原因是因为看不惯学校校长和老师的阿谀奉承,假模假式的态度。以后讲的也是他厌恶的事,扎不到出路,感到寂寞却有找不到知己。但是主人公却喜欢自己的弟弟和妹妹,以及发现和小孩子相处的时候就没有这些假惺惺。因此他想做一个在麦田悬崖边上守望奔跑孩子的人。最后他想到一个不认识别人也没人认识他的森林边上建造一个有充足阳光的小木屋,装成又聋又哑的人不与外人交流。但是最后,这个计划也被妹妹天真的行为阻止了。

“太阳只是在它想出来的时候才出来!”主人公在纽约街头时的天气不是极冷就是下雨。当然这是对他心情的一个衬托,太阳对他这样一个自认为倒霉的人身边是不会经常出现的。有时想借酒、烟失眠和性来麻痹自己的他,远离这个假丑恶的社会却发现什么都不能帮助自己忘记。“你到底非常喜欢什么?”妹妹的问话,回答的结果是死去的弟弟和看着妹妹。于是就像逃避,最后在儿童天真的性格中找到了慰藉。但是真的能得到解决吗?小说最后说道了他还是要听从家人的安排上学。

小说中有一段为学校教育辩解的话,说的也很符合实际。

其实,我们都知道现在的教育和社会,就像小说中的一样,那么我们却还是继续不指出,继续生活其中。“一个不成熟男子的标志是他愿意为某种事业英勇地死去,一个成熟男子的标志是他愿意为某种事业卑贱地活着。”这是精神分析家为我们社会人做出的解决方法,而对于我们接触社会很少的新人类还是不能接受这样的说教,即使自己也知道这样是对的,还是想睡觉。

现在这样的著作应该很多了,但是当时的那个时期能写出这样的作品,真是对年轻人心里的一个很好的剖析。

篇6:追风筝的人英文读后感

This is a wonderful, beautiful epic of a novel. Set in Afghanistan and the United States between the 1970s to the present day, it is a heartbreaking tale of a young boy, Amir, and his best friend who are torn apart. This is a classic word-of-mouth novel and is sure to become as universally loved as The God of Small Things and The Glass Palace.

Twelve year old Amir is desperate to win the approval of his father Baba, one of the richest and most respected merchants in Kabul. He has failed to do so through academia or brawn, but the one area where they connect is the annual kite fighting tournament. Amir is determined not just to win the competition but to run the last kite and bring it home triumphantly, to prove to his father that he has the makings of a man. His loyal friend Hassan is the best kite runner that Amir has ever seen, and he promises to help him - for Hassan always helps Amir out of trouble. But Hassan is a Shia Muslim and this is 1970s Afghanistan. Hassan is taunted and jeered at by Amirs school friends; he is merely a servant living in a shack at the back of Amirs house. So why does Amir feel such envy towards his friend? Then, what happens to Hassan on the afternoon of the tournament is to shatter all their lives, and define their futures.

The Kite Runner of Khaled Hosseinis deeply moving fiction debut is an illiterate Afghan boy with an uncanny instinct for predicting exactly where a downed kite will land. Growing up in the city of Kabul in the early 1970s, Hassan was narrator Amirs closest friend even though the loyal 11-year-old with "a face like a Chinese doll" was the son of Amirs fathers servant and a member of Afghanistans despised Hazara minority. But in 1975, on the day of Kabuls annual kite-fighting tournament, something unspeakable happened between the two boys.

Narrated by Amir, a 40-year-old novelist living in California, The Kite Runner tells the gripping story of a boyhood friendship destroyed by jealousy, fear, and the kind of ruthless evil that transcends mere politics. Running parallel to this personal narrative of loss and redemption is the story of modern Afghanistan and of Amirs equally guilt-ridden relationship with the war-torn city of his birth. The first Afghan novel to be written in English, The Kite Runner begins in the final days of King Zahir Shahs 40-year reign and traces the countrys fall from a secluded oasis to a tank-strewn battlefield controlled by the Russians and then the trigger-happy Taliban. When Amir returns to Kabul to rescue Hassans orphaned child, the personal and the political get tangled together in a plot that is as suspenseful as it is taut with feeling.

The son of an Afghan diplomat whose family received political asylum in the United States in 1980, Hosseini combines the unflinching realism of a war correspondent with the satisfying emotional pull of master storytellers such as Rohinton Mistry. Like the kite that is its central image, the story line of this mesmerizing first novel occasionally dips and seems almost to dive to the ground. But Hosseini ultimately keeps everything airborne until his heartrending conclusion in an American picnic park.

Today I have read Helen Keller’s “Three Days to See”.I have read this article in the chinese teaching material when I was in high school.This article impressed me.It told me how lucky we are.We should aprrecaite that we are healthy.Healthiness is riches.So today I read this article again.Whenever I read this article,compare with Helen Keller,I think we should treasure our life,god has given us sight so we can see a lot of good things,so we can know how beautiful this world is,so we can know how wonderful we can live in our coloreful life.

Helen Keller,blind and deaf from infancy.Stricken with a serious illness at the age of nineteen months,Keller survived from the illness but was left permanently unable to see and hear.In this article,three day of sight,we can see,how precious it was as for Helen Keller.What would you want to look at if you had only three days of sight?Helen gives her answer in this famous essay.I always think that people can realize the importance of the sight and sound only after they have personally expericenced the dark and silence life.Darkness would make him more appreciative of sight,silence would teach him the joys of sound.

This short story tell people how Keller take advantage of having the privileges to see,hear,and speak.Some people,unfortunately,are blind,deaf,and mute.These unfortunate people take more time to appreciate life and they are always waiting for the miracle all their life.The author,Helen Keller,is one of such person who is blind,deaf,and mute.She strongly believes that people,who are fortunate to have such senses,take life for granted.She also strongly believes these people should live in the fullest,meaning,accomplish lifes when they can do this today,do not leave it for tomorrow.

One can die at any moment,no matter how healthy or in what physical shape he is.As for this,Helen came across many instances.She had asked her friend what she had seen after taking a walk through the woods,and her friend replied,“Nothing in particular.” Her friend gave she this answer,because her friend become accustomed to see the routine of their surroundings,and her eyes only can be attracted by startling and spectacular things.I think if we only have sight for 3 days we will give another answer.

I appreciate Hellen Keller.Her life is a miracle,she stronly face the difficulties which can detroy one’s mind of living.Her life is a tragedy,but the world in her heart is full of love.Her spirit will encourage all of us,forever.

红字》讲述了发生在北美殖民时期的恋爱悲剧。看完这部小说后就来看看语文迷为大家整理的英语读后感吧,希望你喜欢。

The Scarlet Letter offers an extraordinary insight into the norms and behavior of the 17th century if American Puritan society. The basic conflicts and problems of its main characters, however, are familiar to readers in the present. The female protagonist, has borne a child out of wedlock and has been jailed for over three months and sentenced to wear a symbol of her adultery, a scarlet “A” on her dress at all times. It concerns about the moral, emotional and psychological effect of the sin on people in general. It’s not simply a love story or a story of sin. The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne uses the scarlet letters to symbolize the harshness of Puritan society, showing how they brand sinners for life. 英语文摘mmkey

The story happened in Boston about 200 years ago. It narrates love affairs between three persons. The punished woman. Hester Prynne and his husband. Who called himself Roger Chillingworth . He is an old misshapen man and a doctor. Hester does not love him at all. Another man is a young minister, Dimmesdale, who has a high position among ministers and is highly respected among his people in town. Hester and Dimmesdale love each other. But their love is forbidden in that time . It is sinful. Due to this,Hester is punished by society with a letter A on her chest, which considered an evil, a shame.

In this novel, the mainline seems to be around the letter A. Hester is brave enough to face the cruel reality. She is always with a mind of courage. She has been alone with her child for so long , with litter communication. Shame! Hopelessness! Loneliness! Hester has to wear the letter A day after day, seven years as for punishment and ill fame.

When a woman has lived through a difficult experience, her character changes a great deal. If she be all tenderness, she will die. If she survive, the tenderness will leave her .Hester’s charitable deeds and quiet humility have earned her a reprieve from the scorn of the community. The letter on her chest represents her work on earth , always helping others, without expecting any thanks. Never afterwards, does that scarlet letter leave her chest. The townspeople no longer view the letter as a punishment , but rather as representing her great strength and bravery and thy say it means “Able”.

But Arthur Dimmesdale, his sin against Hester and Pearl is that he will not acknowledge them as his wife and daughter in the daylight. He keeps his dreadful secret from all those under his care in the church for seven years for fear that he will lose their love and will not be forgiven. He is too weak to admit his sins. He suffers from mysterious heart trouble, seemingly caused by psychological distress. What’s worse, he is an advisor to the townspeople about their sins.

After Mr. Dimmesdale’s death , no one changes more in appearance than Roger Chilling worth. All his strength and energy has been used to harm his patient . This unhappy man has made his aim in life to add to the suffering of the young minister. When the evil old man no longer has such a purpose, the devil takes him back to the hell . It is a curious subject of observation, however, whether hatred or love are not of the same place. Each takes a great deal of emotion from one person. The two feelings seem basically the same, expect that one is smiled upon by God, while the other is worshipped by the devil.

The two lovers has ever decided to flee to Europe, where they can live with their dauthter Pearl as a family .They feel a sense of release there. However, their plan fails…… When Hester dies, she is buried next to Dimmesdale. The two share a single tombstone, with a deep colored letter A shining brightly.

《红字》是美国小说家霍桑最杰出的代表作,也是整个美国浪漫主义小说中最有声望的权威作品之一.小说的故事发生在十七世纪中期加尔文者派统治下的波士顿,作者从当时的社会现状入手,通过一个感人的爱情故事悲剧来揭露当局对人们精神,心灵和道德的摧残.

海丝特*白兰是一个在婚姻上遭到不幸的女人,年轻美貌,却嫁给了身体畸形多病的术士罗杰*齐灵沃斯,夫妻间根本谈不上爱情,后来,罗杰又在海上失踪,杳无音讯,白兰孤独的过着日子.这时一个英俊有气魄的青年牧师,亚瑟*丁梅斯代尔闯入了她的生活,他们真诚的相爱了,度过了一段隐私但热烈的爱情生活.不久,白兰由于怀孕的隐情暴露,以通*罪被抓,在狱中生下了女儿小珠儿.

按照当时的教规,白兰只有交代*夫的姓名才能获得赦免,否则将受惩罚.然而执行审讯任务的却正是他的情人.白兰宁愿独自忍受任何惩罚,为了把她和丁梅斯代尔之间的爱情深深地埋在心中,她坚强的挺住了.

海丝特*白兰受到了惩罚,她必须终身穿着一件绣着红色A字的外衣.字母A代表"通*(Adultery)"一词.白兰带着小珠儿离群独居,在郊外偏僻的茅舍中过者孤寂的生活.而用心险恶的前夫罗杰发现了丁梅斯代尔的反常表现,利用牧师痛苦和矛盾的心情,不断地折磨他,终于丁梅斯代尔在他即将升为主教的前夕,当众宣布了自己的秘密,丁梅斯代尔向周围的人们展露了这首爱情的颂歌.当他把自己的胸衣扯开时,一个猩红的A字烙在他的胸前.他在自己的爱人身边离开了人世.

海丝特*白兰,他坚强,有毅力,对爱情忠贞不渝.虽然被统治者认为有罪,但她是清白的,纯洁的.她的精神不断上升,成为真,善,美的化身.她的举动是对封建政权与教权压迫下的爱情,人权和自由的充分肯定.

丁梅斯代尔最初与白兰产生了炽热的的爱情,虽然他一度退却了,为自己能够隐蔽的安慰,但内心的痛苦并没有因他的安全而平息,相反,越来越强烈.他与白兰的约会,他在枷刑台上的自我忏悔,他们的逃跑计划,以及最后的公开演说,都成为了丁梅斯代尔向着爱情的祭坛一步步走近的脚印.最后他扯开上衣,人们见到了烙在他胸口的红色A字.这个A字实际上是烙在他的心上的,这是爱情的升华.

作者用蔷薇花象征美与善,用监狱象征死亡,用一道光,一只鸟……象征丁梅斯代尔与白兰之间的爱情的结晶——小珠儿,使作品充满着一股迷人的魄力.

在作品的最后,在白兰和丁梅斯代尔合用的墓碑上刻着这样一句话:"一片墓地上,刻着血红的A字."这句话不可谓不意味深长.

燃尽了无数段烛光,点亮晚辈们心中的渴望;耕耘了无数个日夜,唤醒后生们心中的启迪;洒满了每一个角落,成就了芊芊学子们的一花一叶。她是谁?与其称她是老师,不如给她一个亲切的名字:麦田守望者。

沧桑抹不去她难忘的容颜,过去丢不下她肺腑的话语,曾几何时,初中的英语老师,我的林老师,是我心中的那一潭静水。

她长得美,但她常对我们说,美丽只是一张皮,心美才是真的美。的确,她是一个善良却带严厉的老师。在她神圣的课堂上,老师应有的威严掩盖住她娇弱的身躯。在她的办公室里,老师应有的责任模糊了她的身份。对于我们,她的孩子们来说,其实,她就像一位妈妈,一位严格又忘我的妈妈。

她记性非常好,也正因为记性非常好,在学习上,同样的错误,我们不敢犯第二次。只要她第一次点到你,下一次就记住你这个人,全班同学谁各犯什么错她记得清清楚楚。学习上并非只告诉我们做什么,她还经常告诉我们,会休息的人才会学习。其实我们需要合理安排时间,能高效地运用学习时间,从而腾出适当的休息时间。

莫不是应来的缘分,让我今生遇到了林老师。她曾形象地说过,她种下了一田麦子,就看到最后谁争气,能收获多少,她就是日日夜夜守望在麦田田头的守望者,她守着,耐心化作了希望的莲花。她望着,希望化作了幸福的明天。

三年来一度在我心中,她的形象并非老师,因为她的名字很奇特,管理方法很独到,什么事情逃不出她的慧眼,什么人物改变不了她的原则。在我心中,她就是一只脚踏入私凡一只脚盘坐在天的观世音大士,爱与教化让她选择踏出,能力与原则决定她必须踏出,于是她在爱的善提下踏出了一步,我们便成为她手下的绿油油的禾苗,日夜勤修。

守望者越过高山,渡过沙河,虔诚地对待着一代又一代的麦苗,她把蓝天奉献给麦苗,于是麦苗学会了仰望,她把太阳奉献给麦苗,麦苗学会了光明,她把风雨奉献给麦苗,于是麦苗学会了自立与坚强。是的,她从来不忘记让我们经历挫折,就这样,我们现在已经不在乎人生的风浪冲波。

但她并没有说让我们学会感恩。可是在我心里埋藏了三年的文章充满了感恩,是的,人人是我们生命中匆匆的过客,除了父母。当然除了父母,与我们每天见面的就是辛苦的守望者。

我想对天下的麦田守望者说一声,你们也是最可爱的人!

These days Ive just finished the novel Uncle Toms Cabin that left a really deep impression on me and we can see.

It is a book written in 1852 in response to the passage of the Fugitive Slave Law, Uncle Toms Cabin has been considered as the most influential anti-slavery novel in that period and described by Stowe herself as a “series of sketches” describing the human cruelty of slavery, opens with a description of Arthur Shelbys Kentucky plantation during the antebellum period.

There are several impressive characters in this novel, George who is clever and brave;Harry, a beautiful and talented child who sings dances and mimes;Mrs. Shelby, a very religious woman;Sambo and Qimbo and so on. The major character Uncle Tom who was the most impressive in this novel was a devout Christian. He endured the miserable fate bravely and aroused the whites sympathy for slaves with his Christs sacrifice and the tolerance of returning good for evil. This novel focuses on the distinctive personalities of Uncle Tom deeply influenced by Christianity and the important role Uncle Toms Cabin playing on abolition; and the Significance of “Uncle Tom” to the harmonious worlds development, and the effect on modern people.

In the book, at the beginning, the author presents us a very beautiful image of a rather harmonious family who live a happy life. However, that beautiful image couldnt last long, the darkness came soon. The master of this happy family, Uncle Tom was arranged into a difficult situation. As Shelby, the not cruel master, he has incurred serious debts- prompting him sell some slaves to avoid financial ruin, so Uncle Tom, Shelbys loyal servant since childhood was sold to Mr. Haley, the slave trader. Uncle Tom remained loyal to his master, despite his betrayal and the risk of death at the cruel hands of a new master. The slaves at the plantation were very mournful, but Tom remained placid and tried to read his Bible for fort. On the steamboat to New Orleans, where Tom was to be sold, Tom befriended an angelic little girl, “Little Eva” St. Clare. Uncle Tom saved the five-year-old beauty from drowning, and she convinced her father to buy Tom for her own family. In her family, Tom enjoye.

d his life because of the girls love; Toms contentment does not last, however, because Eva soon falls ill. Dying, Eva asked Mr. St. Clare to free Tom after her death. But Mr. St. Clare is so sad by her death that he never legally freed Tom before he himself was killed trying to mediate a barroom scuffle. Mrs. St. Clare sold the slaves to settle her husbands debts and Tom was sold to Simon Legree who was so violent that beat his slaves brutally. At last, when Mr. Shelby, finally found Uncle Tom, he was almost died. After Tom was dead and buried, Shelby went back and freed his slaves.

As we all can see that Uncle Toms Cabin was an anti-slavery novel and it was even considered as one factor that caused the Civil War. In the novel, the slaves were sold from one place to another frequently, and their fate was tragic, with no exception- just like Uncle Tom, no matter he was under the control of kind masters or evil masters, he cant escape the misfortune of being sold from one master to another. We cant see any human right of them, so terrible.

As someone said, with more people realizing the inhumanity of slavery in the 19th century, slavery became one of the most important issues and it became more violent year by year in American society. However, slavery was not abolished irrevocably until ratification of the 13th Amendment to the Constitution in 1865, following the Civil War. After the passage of Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote this novel Uncle Toms Cabin which publicized the evil of slavery to a wide audience.

Now we are in the 21st century, we may never e across such kind of thing. However, this book can always remind of us that there ever has existed this evil and we cant let it happen again. And “equality” 、“human right ” cant just be a slogan, we should make it e true really and always.

篇16:格列佛游记英文读后感

全文共 4674 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!" .

看过《麦田里的守望者》 霍尔顿是个标准的滥学生,他五门功课就有四门不及格,他利用被学校第四次开除回家前这段时间在纽约城里游荡。令他烦腻的事物太多,所以他在书中从头骂到尾。他毫不隐讳地将他看到的东西陈述出来,并明确表态:“我最不喜欢老人穿着睡衣裤和睡袍。他们那瘦骨嶙峋的胸膛老是露在外面。”“我***真希望他别老这么一个劲儿管我叫‘孩子’!”“那副牙齿像长满苔藓似的。”“跟老马蒂跳舞,就好像抱着自由女神石像在舞池上拖来拖去。”……

他是个天真单纯的人。他一直为“公园湖里的水结冰后,野鸭都飞到哪里去了”这一问题困惑许久并请教过出租车司机,“这个织毯子的印第安人弯着腰,我们都看得见她的**,我们经过的时候,总要偷偷瞧一眼。”“我可以在哪儿找个工作做,咱们可以在溪边什么地方住着,过些日咱们还可以结婚……”“女人。老天爷,她们真能让你发疯,她们真的能!”

很难想象一个无所是事,玩世不恭,百无聊赖的人居然和自己的小妹妹关系处理得那样融洽。书中仅有一次提到的“麦田里守望者”也是对菲瑟讲的,而且她也是阻止霍尔顿继续游荡即结束全书情节的人。

我原本是想把塞林格的《麦田里的守望者》的读后感写下来的,为了《麦田里的守望者》,我竟然不怕回忆那羞于启齿的年少,那种邪恶的、叛逆的、无所谓的孩子,内心空洞的、无助的、脆弱地与生活抗争着的孩子。

也许在真正年少的时候,我还无法懂得这本书,因为那时我们都太年轻,不真正了解生命,只是在懵懂与茫然之间。现在,我走进了“麦田”里,因为我自己就是一个守望者。

很难想象,在我十五六岁的时候,也有一顶红色的,霍尔顿那样的帽子。不知出于什么心理,我用手里不多的零花钱买下了它,我会穿着大皮靴,戴上那顶红得刺眼的帽子,一张幼稚的面孔喜欢在所有人的面前招摇,努力美好,直到自己美好,渴望别人欣赏自己的美好。有人说,这种状态叫花朵心态。等待已是很苦,花朵还不只是等待,它还有时间的紧迫感消逝的压迫感。我戴着这顶帽子一方面掩饰自己的恐慌感,另一方面又从别人投来的或好或坏目光中心里坏笑着,我不知道什么叫空虚,我自己都不明白这样做是为什么。现在我知道了,塞林格懂,他是真正懂得成长意义的作家。

德伯家的苔丝》是哈代的代表作,是“威塞克斯系列”中的一部。它描写了一位农村姑娘的悲惨命运。看过这部小说后你有什么感触呢?下面是小编为大家整理的英文读后感范文,希望对你有帮助。

She was seduced by a so-called gentleman—Alec, and from then on her life totally changed from this loss of innocence. People looked down on her and respected her no more. Actually she did nothing wrong because before she was seduced she knew nothing of men. She was just a girl when she first met that terrible man.

She was forced by the gossips and the church to blame herself for this accident, so she thought she deserved nothing good. In order to get rid of the past she decided to go to a distant dairy farm but was still saying to herself that she was wrong. Maybe God didn’t agree with that, because the Lord gave her someone she loved with her whole heart and life—Angel Chare. Angel popped the question to her but she refused him without saying why. She said she loved him deeply and perhaps no one in the world could love him more than she did but she could not marry him for some unspoken reason. Angel wasn’t satisfied with this vague answer and did his best to win Tess. Somehow she agreed and they soon fixed the wedding day. Soon after their wedding Angel confessed the crime he committed to a woman long time ago and asked for Tess’s forgiveness. Tess was not at all angry and forgave Angel at once; in fact she was rather happy and excited for she also had things to confess.

She sat and told everything to Angel, hoping he would forgive her as he was forgiven but she was wrong. She was not forgiven, not as she thought she was. The woman pays.

Without Angel’s love, nothing meant anything to her. The result wasn’t important now. Tess was arrested for her murder of that so-called gentleman. Why? She still loved Angel and when he finally went back to her and asked for HER forgiveness, after he regretted what he had done unfair to Tess, she was desperate. That was too late—Alec had always told Tess that Angel would never come back so he won Tess’s trust. Unluckily Angel did come back and found Tess.! Everything was too late!

Tess was deceived and she lost Angel for the second time! The strengh of her love was so strong that she had forgotten the difference between right and wrong. Before that she had done nothing wrong but when she killed Alec, everything really changed! She became a criminal! How could it be? She was as pure and innocent as the good wife in the Bible. Her whole character was honest and faithful. Angel figured out at last that a person should be judged not only on what he has done but also on what he wanted to do!

Tess didn’t want to be seduced by man and she had no power to defend herself so she lost her innocence and that’s all! Angel also did the wrong thing and it was even more serious than Tess’s crime but HE was not blamed for it. Why it is always the woman who pays? Why they are always hurt? Why was Tess’s girlish purity lost? Why does the wrong man take the wrong woman? Why do the bad often ruin the good? Why is beauty damaged by ugliness? Women are too weak! Thousands of years of history have shown us that women have always been treated unfairly!

In old China there was a culture, which didn’t think of women as human beings. If you asked one if he was the oldest in his family, he would probably answer “the oldest one” even if he had some elder sisters. If you asked why then he would say, “Ha, they are not included!”

People gave birth to many girls in order to have only one boy to keep the family name going. They thought girls had no use for the family. They would be married and go to live with their husbands’ home and be their wives some day sooner or later. So they were extremely hard on girls.

Girls should be hard working, faithful, loyal, intelligent, and virtuous and the most important thing was she must be a maiden! If her husband was the first man who touched her then she was a good girl, a good wife no matter how she thought. If she wasn’t, then she would gain a very bad reputation and nobody would dare to go near her. What about men? People did not care whether he was an experienced man or not, nor did they care about his character. They thought man equals power and power equals rights…

Now let’s not be so bitter. Nowadays women’s situations have become much better. Some are because of the change of society and some are because of civilization. Just let those poor painful women like TESS be just a memory.

篇19:经典小说《雾都孤儿》英文读后感

雾都孤儿》以雾都伦敦为背景,讲述了一个孤儿悲惨的身世及遭遇。以下是小编带来的雾都孤儿英文读后感,希望对你有帮助。

Oliver Twist is written by Charles Dickens.

Charles Dickens is one of the greatest writers in the England. He was born in a poor family, but later he became famous and rich. The famous novel --A Tale of Two Cities is written by him, too.

This novel shows us the cruelty and crime of London. Oliver Twist, the hero, is a poor orphan. He lived in a life filled with taunts. Nobody loved him. With visions of his future, he decided to go to London. He thought a new life was coming, but he was wrong, a group of thieves were waiting for him.

The author created a group of bad men.

Fagin, an old man, with a horribly ugly face and red hair, was the head of those thieves. He tried to make Oliver be a criminal.

Bill Sikes was a cruel and evil man in the group. He had a bad

Monks, Oliver’s brother, did bad things to hurt Oliver. He wanted to get the legacies left by his father alone. He paid Fagin to trap Oliver into a life of crime. In fact, they were all afraid of being put into prison and being hanged. They can’t live happily.

Nancy, a poor girl, loved a bad man. She had to help Bill Sikes perpetrate, because she loved him. She had to be loyal to the criminal group, because she loved him. Actually, she was kind. She helped Oliver at the risk of her life. If she hadn’t fell in love with Sikes, she would have a happy ending.

The author showed these ugly things to us, he described an ugly world. But there are more kind people in the novel.

Mr. Brownlow, an old friend of Oliver’s father, took good care of Oliver.

Mrs. Maylie, Harry Maylie’s mother, saved Oliver of his life.

Miss Rose is the aunt of Oliver, in fact.

They all protect Oliver from hurt.

Oliver was unlucky to meet so many evil people, but he was luckier to get help from so many kind people.

In the end of the novel, all the evil people were punished. Oliver got what he should get. Rose married Harry Maylie and they lived happily. All the kind people have a happy ending.

Righteousness can always beat evil. I think this is what the author wants to tell. Although there are many ugly things in the world, we must believe that righteousness can always beat evil.

We must store kindness even though we are in ugly situation. One is poor if he doesn’t have kindness. One is rich if he has kindness. So please store your kindness in your mind.

What’s more, the novel also tells us to be brave. Oliver was brave enough to overcome all the problems he had met. No matter how difficult the problem is, we can’t give up, we must try our best to solve it.

From Oliver Twist , I have learnt a lot .It’s really a good novel.
