A Book of All Times

——Thoughts given by Sherlock Holmes and the Duke’s Son

Written in the first chapter of the book Pride and Prejudice is an extraordinary sentence of which even a person who has had only a brief look upon the book will not fail to receive a deep impression-It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife. In terms of Sherlock Holmes, we’d better alter the sentence into “It is a fact universally accepted by readers throughout the world that an excellent book in possession of our famous detective Sherlock Holmes is undoubtedly a masterpiece of all times.” Perhaps this is one of the most obvious explanations for the unrivaled popularity of “Holmes series” in the field of detective stories. Overwhelmed by the recommendations provided by my friends, I decided to take a look on this Sherlock Holmes and the Duke’s Son originally published by Oxford University Press.

As a whole, this book is about a case concerning the Duke’s missing son. Arthur, the Duke’s son, was found out in a certain morning to have disappeared, accompanied with which was also the disappearance of the German teacher. The school master Dr. Huxtable then turned to the famous detective of the time Sherlock Holmes for help. Realizing how tough and important the case is, Holmes immediately made up his mind to accept the case and followed Dr. Huxtable back to Mackleton by train. Having formed a rough idea about the whole matter, Holmes probed into the case immediately and had a careful investigation of the entire area shortly after the arrival, during the process of which he discovered the body of the German teacher Heidegger. Finally, primarily due to his prominent ability as a detective, he managed to unravel the mystery and obtained the twelve thousand pounds promised by the Duke.

Having once started reading this fiction, I was completely immersed in the mysterious story presented by the book. As the saying goes, “Well begun, half done”. At the beginning of the story, just like many other detective stories, the author gives us a brief description of the condition by the words of a client. However, unlike other ones, this story first delineates the client’s strange behavior at length to indicate the severity of the incident in order to attract the readers to continue reading it. As is known to all, vivid depiction is essential to detective stories since it can help the readers understand each figure’s characteristics and visualize the scenes, thus making the story more authentic and attractive. Therefore, trying to present a “real world” to his readership, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, author of the original “Holmes series”, has skillfully arranged the plots of the whole story from the perspective of Dr. Watson, a character not so specialized in discovering the truth hidden behind the enigmatic happenings as Holmes but so loyal to Sherlock Homes as a friend that he always accompanies Holmes wherever he goes. In this way, he elaborately depicted every scene and character in the book, Apart from the special start, the ending of the whole story, being dramatic but reasonable, is certainly an outstanding one. After all, except the author himself, who knows that the Duke’s seemingly ordinary secretary is in fact the Duke’s bastard? In addition, who knows that the Duke actually has already been acquainted with the whole thing before Holmes solves this complicated problem? Yet, surprising as it is, this ending seems so natural that it fits all the plots of the story perfectly well. While enjoying this wonderful story, I could do nothing but admire the wonderful design of this masterpiece as well as the author’s gorgeous writing skill. Closing my eyes, I can even “see” the story happening just like watching a film. Not until then did I understand why the Japanese cartoon film Detective Conan used this “Conan” as the name of its hero.

As far as I am concerned, nothing is more admirable and surprising in the hero Sherlock Homes than his profound knowledge which has certainly assisted him a lot when he was studying the case. Take the bicycle tyres for instance, Holmes actually is capable of recognizing 42 different varieties of bicycle tyres. What’s more, according to his other stories, Holmes has studied different kinds of newspapers, cigarettes, people’s footprints and other special things as well. Therefore, he seems to have the mastery of anything relevant to the cases he deals with. Except for his illimitable knowledge, Holmes also specializes in arranging the facts in order and then finding the fact leading him to a great discovery or even the truth itself. From his speaking “Every mystery has an answer”, we can readily shape the impression of a man with great intelligence and inflexible will. In this case, after getting rid of unrelated facts, Sherlock Homes eventually grasped the clue and discovered the amazing fact.

Needless to say, as a world-renowned masterpiece, Sherlock Holmes and the Duke’s Son has attracted and is still charming numerous readers from all corners of the world and people from all walks of life. The “Holmes series” has already set up a standard against which all the following detective fictions are measured. Sherlock Holmes, beyond all doubt, has become a name firmly rooted in people’s memories. Although Dr. Watson’s closing The Case Book of Sherlock Holmes in 1927 was a great pity to the readers, the discontinuance of the entire “Holmes series” may have actually added to the legendary stature of Sherlock Holmes.

I read a famous American writer Ernest Hemingways novel "the old man and the sea", very admire kept the will of the novel, he let me know how a man must have perseverance, can succeed. The man is a novel depicts a near the old fisherman, in a single out to sea fishing, caught a big fish, but pull not up. The old fisherman al with fish after a few days, found that this is a more than his several times as big marlin fishing boats, although knowing is hard to win, but still dont give up. Later and because the big marlin wound fish smell drew a few group of sharks rob food, but the old man still would not so give up, eventually beckoning, the big fish back to the fishing port, let the other fishermen to admire.

《简爱》的作者夏洛蒂勃朗特温柔，清纯，喜欢追求一些美好的东西，尽管她家境贫穷，从小失去了母爱，再加上她身材矮小，容貌不出众，但也许就是这样一种灵魂深处的自卑，反映在她的性格上就是一种非常敏感的自尊。下面小编带来的是简爱中学生英文读后感，希望对你有帮助。

Jane Eyre is a novel with autobiography. It tells a story of love and dignity and tells people the true meaning of life.

Jane live a happy environment, grew up under treatment with peers: discrimination and cousin aunt abandonment, cousin insults and beaten...... Perhaps it is because of all this, Jane love unlimited confidence and firm and inflexible character, which can overcome the inherent personality. She firmly to the pursuit of a bright, holy, wonderfull life.

When Jane Eyre know Mr. Rochester and Rochester, and alternate affection, is about to enter marriage when they found Rochester had wives -- an imprisoned in the attic of the mad woman. At the end of his heart, Jane fled from the manor and wandered around, and later on because he had been obsessed with Rochester and returned to him. This is the manor is completely different, and Rochester is blind, but Jane loves to go with him.

This novel fascinating plot, language starkness, scenery description, rich local color, many environmental description is both real and typical. Such as Jane Eyres life at his aunts home, the experience in the orphanage and her relationship with the priest, Saint John, are all truthful descriptions of the social life in Britain at that time. And the most typical of them is the description of the orphanage. In Jane Eyre, Charlotte describes the first person and contains strong emotions. Therefore, the description of the orphans mental state is more delicate and real, which deepens the revelation and accusation of this reality.

Jane Eyre is the most approachable idol of a generation of women in the heart of a generation. She will not be difficult to get near, and her shadow is scattered around us. The art image of Jane Eyre can shock and infect readers from generation to generation. It is her self support and self-esteem that support her personality charm. If compared to "Jane Eyre" and Ibsens "a dolls house", Jane is not willing to live in a mans choice out of the shade and Nora left home to go farther, more revolutionary than that. In Jane Eyre, there is such a word that Jane says to Rochester. "Do you think Im poor and beautiful, Im going to lower you?" Youre wrong。 We are equal. Just as we have passed through the grave as well, and before the heels of God, we are equal. Because our spirit is equal. " The female owner is equal to the pursuit of love from the bottom of the heart, with religious devotion. Such a word is exciting at any time, and the mouth of an independent, self respecting woman seems more powerful.

"The Pursuit of Happyness" is a simple inspirational movie.It is not pretty actors,no fancy pictures,no touching music,but can also attract you read on law-abiding,because it has good enough story,plain but not mediocre!

Two of the film places the novel,though intentionally set,but that is not offensive,not far-fetched,pregnant with meaning.

First:When Chris (Will Smith plays) to see graffiti in the "happyness" spelling error,he said these words:There is no y in happiness,There is i.(y or Why).This line is extremely clever setting,it also aims to express through the entire film.Yes,there is no happiness in the why,the only others only their own happiness.Why blame others than their own happiness is meaningless,only rely on their own can be happy.

这是汉语翻译

《当幸福来敲门》是一部简单的励志电影.它没有漂亮的演员、没有花哨的画面、也没有动人的配乐,但却同样可以吸引你安分的看下去,因为它有足够好的故事,平淡却不平庸!

影片里有两个特别新奇的地方,虽然是故意设置的,但却一点都不唐突,不牵强,寓意深刻.

其一：当克里斯(威尔史密斯扮演)看到墙上涂鸦中的“happyness”拼写错误时,他说了这句话：There is no y in happiness,There is i.(y即Why).这句台词的设置是极其巧妙的,它要表达的宗旨也贯穿了全片.是的,幸福中本就没有为什么,幸福中唯一有的只有自己.埋怨别人为什么比自己幸福是没有意义的,唯有依靠自己才能够得到幸福.

其二：影片开始时,克里斯在人潮涌动大街上被人流推着前进,在一张张笑脸中唯有他一脸茫然,无助地伫立着.而在影片接近尾声时,克里斯却在同一个地方,一脸满足的留下了动情的眼泪,并为自己鼓掌振臂.在历经过苦难、悲伤、抛弃、落魄、无助、绝望之后,克里斯用忍耐、努力与永不言弃的人生态度换回了属于他的美好时光.所以在通过试用期的那一刻,克里斯是幸福的.

什么是幸福?这个问题自古以来被人问及了无数次,答案却一直莫衷一是.

假如你要幸福,那就去追求.幸福是逼出来的,是追寻来的.

克里斯得到幸福的过程是如此的艰难,也正由于艰难,他们才会珍惜,才会感觉到幸福.圣诞节那天,他和儿子无家可回的流落在车站,他唯有用自己的幽默哄的儿子开心;为了能够赶上在留守所度过一晚,他们一路狂奔只为那有限的留宿名额;为了能够找回朋友韦恩欠他不换的14元钱,他可以三番两次的怒火冲天;他在被汽车撞丢一只鞋子后,可以立即爬起来单鞋跑回去工作.

然而这一切告诉我们,幸福在艰难的过程里也是要有动力的.在人生最低谷的时候,他可以被妻子抛弃,可以被房东赶出家门,可以被所有的公司拒之门外,但他却拥有着唯一属于他的财富——他的儿子.

他可以在球场上很严肃的对儿子说：“假如你有梦想,那么请保护好它.”在那一刻,他都未必能坚持住自己的梦想,但是他却鼓励儿子能够坚信.

电影《当幸福来敲门》告诉我们：在漫长的人生,幸福永远是短暂的,幸福是当苦难经过努力转变为成功时那一瞬间的感觉.所以,当幸福来敲门时,请你一定要好好的招待它,紧紧的抓住他,别让它在你的指缝中溜走.因为只有你自己才可以让自己感觉幸福!

Jane Eyre — A Beautiful Soul

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Life is like a box of chocoles  《Forrest Gump》

Walden is a masterpiece written by Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)， who was born in Concord, Massachusetts.  The age he lived had witnessed the flourish of capitalism as well as the  prosperity of industrialization and urbanization. During the 19th century, the American economy developed at so fast rate that  most people were bound up in pursuing the material satisfaction , while ingored the spiritual life to a great extent. But Thoreau was quite different from other people, he disdained the modern civilization and attached  more importance to the spirit than the material. He thought many people of his time lived in a non-human-like modern society and many modern appliances, such as trains and telegraphs, had done harm to peoples harmonious life peace and also broken the relationship between human and nature.

In order to prove that without the modern instruments , people can also live a happy life, in 1845, he moved into a cabin on the shore of Walden Pond and live there alone for two years to get close to the nature .Walden, is the famous book mainly talks about his life and thoughts during those days living in the woods .

Thoreau was so happy with the life living near the lake of Walden that he felt it a sweet grace to have the nature accompany and even the sounds of rain and the sights around his house were full of sincere friendship. In his eyes, the nature was an intimate friend of him and all things in the nature were lively and vivacious.  And all kinds of animals in the wood, such as field mouses, robins and wild rabbits were amicably treated and regarded as his adorable companions. He even thought that plants were also had the right to live equal with human beings. Just because of this, he even blamed himself for hitting chestnut trees with stones. From many words or sentences, we can easily feel Thoreaus deep love and care towards nature.

Besides, Thoreau was a pioneering nature lover, who called on people to stop destorying nature but protect it by setting himself   an example to others. The consciousness of the environmental protection is becoming more and more important in our modern society, while the whole world is trapped in some serious ecological crisises resulting from hunting and killing animals, cutting down trees and polluting the rivers for pursuit of human beings own interests. We  all have the common sense that the number of wildlife is decreasing, the area of lake is shrinking, and the water is not clear any more. Whats worse, environment problems such as globe warming, climate change and air and water pollution are deteriorating during the commercial process . So its high time that we should realize we never be the dominator of the whole world conquring nature, but should spare no efforts to improve the environment right away. That is, we should comply with the natural laws, make reasonable utilization of natural resources and keep the harmonious development between the society and the environment. Only in this way will we has an opportunity to embrace a bright future and achieve a sustainable society .

In the book, Walden, Thoreau not only advocated the protection of nature, but also encourage people to comprehend and return to nature. He told us using his own experience that by living a simple life close to nature, we human beings will find out the true value of life and significance of existence.

After reading the book, what impressed me most is the description of the fascinating scenery around the Walden pound, especially these sentences: "A lake is the landscapes most beautiful and expressive feature. It is earths eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature. The fluviatile trees next the shore are the slender eyelashes which fringe it, and the wooded hills and cliffs around are its overhanging brows". To Thoreau, the Walden lake is like a charming and melting girl , who has slender eyelashes and likes to dress herself in different beautiful clothes with the changes of different seasons.

Every morning after getting up, Thoreau would have a bath in the Walden lake to start a new day. After that, he used to wander around the pond and refresh himself with the fresh air. In summer days , he cultivated a piece of land and growed beans, blackberries, johnsworts and the like. The depiction of his leisure rurality spontaneously reminds me of Tao Yuanming, the famous Chinese poet, who lived in the Jin Dynasty and made his life meaningful by  returning to the nature and perfecting himself. If Thoreau and Tao Yuanming lived in the same period and place, they would probably become best friends.

From the book, we know that during the years when Thoreau lived near the Walden, he did not completely isolate himself from the outside world. Sometimes he went to the town and did odd jobs and would receive visitors and friends in his cabin at times. As I mention before, the intention for his living in the woods was that he wanted to teach people how to live a simple life, achieve enjoyment from the nature, free oneself from the strained daily life and what is more important is to reevaluate the value of social life.

Thoreaus though of enjoying a simple life has a more realistic significance and have become a valuable spiritual wealth in our modern society. With the development of the material civilization, peoples desires are swelling limitlessly and many people are busy with the pursuit of wealth and luxurious life by any means, including at the expense of nature. However, even in the society materially affluent and technologically advanced , people are not be more happier than those people who lived centuries ago, but even feel less satisfactory and complaint more about their present life as a result of having unbounded desires of getting more and better. Therefore, many people who possess a lat have become slaves of machine, working more but do not have the ability to enjoy what they have.

In the book Walden, Thoreau had realize this problem several hundreds ago. Thus, he set his mind to give a enlightenment to awake people and encourage them to live a simple life. His thoughts have great similarity  with the belief of our Chinese humanism, that is, the meaning of life lies in the sane and healthy enjoyment of a simple life. In fact, Thoreau and his teacher and friend Emerson praised highly on Confucianism and both them benefited a lot from it.  I am very happy to see the interlinked place between Chinese culture and western culture.

Reading this book is like having a tranquil steam flow through my heart, washing the dust in my mind. It teaches me how to keep a pure spirit in the complex society, set proper goals for my life as well as enjoy the endows of nature. In short, I feel it quite worthwhile to read the book Walden. I sincerely hope more and more people would like to read this book and receive benefits from it .

一百六十多年前的1845年7月4日美国独立日这天，一个哈佛大学的28岁的毕业生亨利•梭罗独自一人来到距康科德两英里的瓦尔登湖畔，搭一间小木屋，自食其力，开始了他隐居山林的简朴生活。他自己劳作耕种，不于外界发生任何关系，除了必须的劳动，他的剩余时间就用来观察自然，思考问题，分析生活，评断价值，批判习俗，探求怎样实实在在的生活，怎样体验与经历有意义的生活。两年零两个月又两天后，他回到文明世界，为我们留下了一本宁静、恬淡、充满智慧的书——《瓦尔登湖》。

选择在一个寂寞的黄昏，独自一人，翻开《瓦尔登湖》。时光如一江春水，在窗下翻书的沙沙声里流过，流入瓦尔登湖。读《瓦尔登湖》，我们可以听得见蛙声和鸟啼，看得见湖水的波纹和林中的雾霭，处处蕴含着返璞归真的美丽。他记录了观察与体验大自然的详细情况，为其赋予了通俗的哲学意义，这正是梭罗超越众人所拥有的一切所在。反观如今，充斥着追名逐利、物质要求的时代，恐怕难以找到如此沉淀，专心体味生活意义的仙露琼浆了，让人们的心灵从沉重的物质中解脱出来，回归瓦尔登湖畔那种恬淡、宁静的状态，呼吸自由的空气，体味什么是真正的生活，那些唤醒了我们沉睡的旧梦。

读罢此书，我脑海中隐隐出现了一个头戴草帽、短褐穿结、带月荷锄的人——陶潜

梭罗和元亮兄竟真有些相似，两人都因厌恶世俗的追名逐利，厌恶趋炎附势的污浊世风而隐居，都好自然、乐山水、爱流年，梭罗也曾在瓦尔登湖畔“种豆南山下”，两人唯一的不同大概就是隐居时间了，梭罗只隐了两年多，而陶渊明却是藏了半辈子。

其实不在于时间，时间只是人们想象与虚构的产物罢了。重要的是心，隐居只是一种方式，而在心中留一片“瓦尔登”才是最具意义的。

The tale of two cities is a historical story， one of Dickens’ long fictions。The background to the novel is the revolution of France 。It portrayed a brutal and bloody story ， but it also contained love and friendship。搞笑说说大全

In the novel， Dickens sarcastically described a typical cruel nobleman—marquis of Evermonde 。 When he was young he and his brother stole a countrywoman by force and killed her family 。What’s worse ， he used his power to imprison Dr Manette ， a kind and honest man who knew all the things they had done and wanted to disclose their crimes 。 In order to hide their crimes。 Marquis of Evermonde and his brother threw Doctor Manette into prison for 18 years 。 During these 18 years，Doctor Manette lost his freedom and suffer a great in spirit 。

I felt unthinkable that Marquis of Evermonde and his brother killed people just as easily as they killed chickens。 They deprived other people’s freedom as they liked and they thought it was normal and unremarkable。 They had never realized that they had done something wrong or something improper。 Because their nature was cruel and evil， like demons。 There is an old saying which means: People who mit too many crimes will kill themselves。 After all， there is justice in the world。 The demons can’t be rampant forever。 Because the world will not forgive them。 They will pay their lives for their crimes。 Let’s see the consequence of the Marquis，’’He lay there like a stone with a knife pushed into his heart。” I think it was just what he ought to gain and it is a real exciting scene。

The Marquis’ death was just the beginning of people’s resistance to the nobleman。 Gradually more and more people joined in the revolution。 One after another nobleman were sentenced to death and their heads were cut down 。 However， some innocent people were implicated in the revolution。 Charles Darney was one of them He was the nephew of Marquis of Evermonde。 To the opposite of his uncle， Darney was a kind and independent young man。

Dickens spoke highly of kindness mercy and love in the novel too。 This is the other thone of the novel when Doctor Manette was released from prison。 It was his daughter Lucie who took care of him and helped him return to normal。 During this time， Dr manette and Lucie knew Charles Darney and Sydeny Carton， the two young man fell in love with Lucie at the same time 。 At last， Lucie married Chares Darney 。Dr Manette accepted Darney as his son-in-law although he knew that Darney was the nephew of the man who threw him into prison for18 years。 This is the love between father and daughter。 And Sydeny Carton ， the very great man ，loved Lucie deeply。 He promised Lucie that he would do everything for her happiness。 He did it truely ，he sacrificed himself instead of Darney who looked the same as him。 This is love for lovers 。 This is the most wonderful thing in the world。 It also reminds us that no matter how no matter when there is true love existing。 At the end ， Lucie， Dr Manette and Darney arri保护地球的标语

ved in England safely。

The tale of two cities is different from other historical fictions。 Its characters and main plots are fictional under the real background of the revolution of France。 The author made the experience of the fictional charactor Dr Manette as the main clue。The plots are plicated， and they are flexuous and dramatic。 The structure is plete and rigorous。

Dickens had dear love and hate。 He praised those who ought to be praised and attacked those who ought to be attacked。 The motivation of the novel maybe just warn the English dominators。 But I think we can learn something meaningful from the tale of two cities。

梦，似真似幻，一如泡沫般易碎，又如钢特般坚韧。我读着梭罗的《瓦尔登湖》，体味着他的，自由之梦。

每个梦都是特别且唯一的。或许正是这一种特别，造就了《瓦尔登湖》。梭罗用他真挚的情感与纯粹的初心来见证着、思考着这个社会，或许正是这颗纯粹的初心和执着的精神，展现了他与众不同的一面。他那孩童般的好奇心与任性、轻蔑的态度，也让我们看到了这个社会不同的一面。

他不愿意与这忙碌的社会有太多的交集，所以他跑到森林里去了。每天过着农民般自给自足的生活，但是又不完全等同于农民。他近乎虔诚的挥洒着汗水，过着隐士的生活，但他有大把大把的时间来研究这里的一草一木，来研究四季的更替，来思考!恰恰是这一生的思考，留下了太多太多。他的真理、他的顿悟、他的明朗，给后人留下了不朽的瑰宝，时刻警醒着世人：勿忘根本，勿忘!

梭罗曾说，致力于耕作时，我充满了难以形容的自信，愉快地从事劳动对未来信心十足。虽然从事劳动学时辛劳的，伴着甘冽的泉水品味着成熟硕果，这滋味难以言述!但他不止于此，他还想播种真诚、真理、朴素、信心、单纯等种子，这些珍惜的品质，大都散失四方。一方面，他恳切地希望人与人之间少一点客套虚伪，停下忙碌的脚步善待这些珍贵之物。另一方面，他高昂着头颅，以批判的态度审视着这个资本社会，充裕的时间给予了他思维的活性，他的思考深入人心、鞭辟入里，带着对社会的批判，带着对他梦想的执着追求。

梭罗有一种与众不同的追求，不同于城市人对金钱名利的执着追求，而是一种更高级的生活，他将其称之为——本能。像大多数人那样的精神生活的本能，所以他阅读、交流、思考，但同时还追求原始状态和野性的本能，这是一种毫不掩饰的释放自己，与大自然融为一体。他可以坐在树下，安安静静地读一本书，也可以坐在小船里挥舞着船桨击打着水面，看碧波泠泠，听回响不穷。他的真性情，丝毫不作为的处事，让我隔着墨香四溢的纸张，透过近两百年的光阴，也能清晰地感受到。

我最爱他的小诗：

“把你的视线转向内心

你会发现心中一千个未发现的地区

到这些地方去旅行

是自己成为家中宇宙学的专家”

有梦，没什么办不了，只要你愿意，太阳也可以因你而破晓。他，不拘于时，率真活泼，高傲又任性。他的散文，与之批判，更像是一场命中注定的追梦之旅。

《双城记》被誉为描写法国大革命的最杰出的代表作，我想最大的原因可能是因为它的与众不同。和其他的作品，比如卡莱尔的《法国大革命》不同，狄更斯更注重的是底层人民的喜怒哀乐。尽管在那个时代，这些小人物本身并不能引起世界的关注。但是作者敏锐的捕捉到这些小人物和大革命有着千丝万缕的联系，可以说法国大革命本身就是有小人物们的力量所引发的。

在这部作品里，我看到了很多很多不同的人。正直善良却惨遭迫害的马奈特医生，美丽温柔的露西，优雅高尚的查尔斯，忠厚老实的洛瑞，外表冷漠、内心热情，放荡不羁而又无私崇高的西德尼，扭曲了人性的德发奇太太，豪爽忠诚的普洛士小姐，残忍阴险的埃佛瑞蒙兄弟……复杂的仇恨纠缠不清，残忍的复仇制造了更多仇恨，爱在地狱的边缘再生，却是以生命为代价。这错综复杂的一幕幕，活生生的展现在面前，仿佛重现了那个失去理智的时代。

有人说，《双城记》是描写了两个男人和一个女人的故事，我却觉得，这样说的人必定没有了解作者真正想表达的意图。如果只是表达了这个，任何一部作品都可以达到露西和查尔斯的水准，那么《双城记》的优势怎么体现出来呢?在我看来，德发奇一家和法国贵族的仇恨也好，露西、查尔斯和西德尼的感情问题也好，都是为了体现一个共同的主题而设的。这个主题就是剖析这场大革命与民众之间的关系，看到底是什么引发了这场革命，到底这场血雨腥风给人们带来了什么。我想这才是作者想要表达的重心所在。

As Jane Eyre， in her plainness and solitude， walks to and fro in the Thornfield Hall， her unfortunate childhood， conflicting love， and religious forbiddance all cannot stop her seeking a better life and cherishing the human nature. She broke loose the chains that jailed her spirit， and through her struggles she overcame the poverty， customs， social standards， and piety which all blocked her from her dream of happiness， and finally became the master of herself! It could be said that Janes life was earned through retaliation and pursuit， that she fought tooth and nail until the sunlight was won. The sunlight now in her palm， shines brightly unto her!

In fact， one has endless thoughts for the most effulgent sunbeam that shines after the storm. I always think in a difficult situation， if and when the hardships of this life is done， if and when the road of time no longer curves， if and when I try my best to walk to the end， will I be able to see the blinding sunlight? For the most important meaning in life is that， struggling through your trials you realize the value of your life， while taking away all the bitter misfortunes. Only then will we see the true radiance of the golden sun...

To be honest, I"ve never seen anyone like Forrest Gump in a movie before.Forrest Gump who is unfortunately to be born with a lower IQ and the muscle problem, usually, people always think this kind of person can"t be successful in doing anything. But, instead, this unlucky man has achieved lots of incredible success, he is a football star, a war hero, and later a millionaire!

Forrest Gump not only shares his innocence and purity with others, ,he also manages to retain that innocence through some very difficult times. I love Forrest that he doesn"t lose his purity through the movie, or maybe he just can"t ,but either way, this shows us don"t need to be evil or really intelligent to be recognised or successful.

It is just a movie, so maybe it doesn"t work like that in reality.A simply means is that the acting and story of this film got a high level like the real . And in my definition that"s what a good movie should be able to do.

ToRegaintheNatureofGoodness—— Review of ‘Oliver Twist’

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 feeling of 《PrideAndPrejudice》

Then man treat great event in one’s life with punishing, Demonstrate different attitudes to the love question of the marriage of young girl of the family origin of middle class of villages and towns, Thus reflected authors oneself’s marriage view: It is wrong to get married for the property, money and position; Get married and does not consider that above-mentioned factors are unwise too .

"Jane Eyre" has been published since 87 years, and has been in the past many years. Time does not affect his light. Today he is still a great work. In the history of literature, many of the classic masterpiece will be immortal, but can look like "Jane Eyre" so deeply into peoples souls, it has attracted tens of thousands of readers with an irresistible beauty, affecting peoples spiritual world, even for some people, the work affects their lives not many.

Jane Eyre is a novel with autobiography, which explains the theme of human value = dignity + love.

The author of this book, Charlotte Bronte and Emily, the author of Wuthering Heights, are sisters. Though they live in the same living environment, they are quite different from their family environment. Charlottes character is gentle, pure, and he likes to pursue some beautiful things more. Although she was poor in her family, she had little care from her parents, and she was not so beautiful and stature. But perhaps it is such a deep inferiority in soul, which reflects a very sensitive self-esteem in her character, and takes self-esteem as the compensation for her inferiority.

Her description of Janes love is also a beautiful, small woman, but she has a very strong pride. She is unswervingly pursuing a good life.

Jane Eyre, living in an orphaned, happy environment, grew up under treatment with peers, abandoned aunt, cousin of contempt, insults and beatings cousin the ruthless trample on a childs dignity, but perhaps it is because of all this, Jane love unlimited confidence and a firm and inflexible spirit, which can overcome the inherent personality

Unfortunately, in the study life, Jane. Love is still suffering from corporal punishment and mental disability. School donor rocor Hearst not only when all the teachers and students face to defame her and put her shame on the stage show. She was ashamed in front of the whole school. But Jane. Love is firm and inflexible, turn grief into strength, not only the rapid progress in learning, but also made the teachers and students to understand. Soon, Jane. Love has fallen into the whirlpool of love. Her strong personality and also keep personal dignity, is great lady rival in front, favorably, overbearing for miss Ingram, she was calm in the face. Similarly, in front of Rochester, she never because he is an inferior status of the family teachers feel inferior, she thinks they are equal. It should not be because she is a servant, but not to be respected by others. It is also because of her integrity, noble and pure, the soul is not polluted by the secular society. Rochester zican are made of dirty, at the same time respect for her and deeply in love with her. He was sincere and moved her, and she accepted him. Later, Jane. Love found that Rochester had a wife, her self-esteem again appeared, without hesitation, she left him, her love for the exclusive, let me admire.

The ending of the novel is perfectly happy. Although the manor of Rochester was destroyed by his mad wife, his eyes were blind, and became a disabled person. But this is the fact that Jane is no longer in contradiction between dignity and love, but at the same time, he is happy.

The novel tells us that the most wonderfull life is human dignity and love, I really appreciate the author of this wonderful life ideal - is the dignity and love, after all, in todays society, the persons value = dignity + love this formula to pay to achieve often cannot do without the help of money. Choose between rich and poor, choose between love and no love. Few people will abandon everything for love, like Jane, and do not care.

In the face of setbacks, we should have a "thousand mill strike" ambition, as long as there is hope, do not give up, stand up, continue to move forward, because, after all the journey to buy a return ticket. The test of thousands of setbacks has created our persistent character, molded our strong will and trained our excellent skills and paved the way for us to succeed. In the setback, we have a little bit of strength, step by step to the glory. Let us full of "fate by the throat" of the lofty sentiments and aspirations to challenge setbacks, overcome setbacks!

the Old Man and the Sea is one of Hemingways most enduring works and may very well become one of the  true classics of this generation. It played a GREat part in his winning the Pulizer Prize in 1953 and  the 1954 Novel Prize for Literature and confirmed his power and presence in the literary world.   Hemingway is also one of my favorite writers. Besides The Old Man And the Sea, I have read some of his  other works, such as The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms and The Snow of Kilimanijaro. But The Old  Man and the Sea is the one that left the deepest impression on me.

I first read this book when I was in my fifteens. And now I remember it just as well as if I had read  it yesterday.

Pride and Prejudice is a chefdoeuvre.

My first impression of this story was from screen.

Its long long ago, maybe before I can read english books. I dont remember which movie edition I had  seen. But I was impressed by the music, the scenery and the costume. I was very favor of a section of  music in its balls. Its pretty brisk, liked a wonderful song of a bird. Regarding to the characters, I   liked Elizabeth, the heroine,though I didnt think shes beautiful. But shes smart. However, I didnt  pay much attention to the plot. I thought its so long that it made me impatient and bored. By now, I  havent read the whole story in English or its Chinese version, either. I owe it to my prejudice.

In fact, I didnt understand the story at that time. I didnt know why it called Pride and Prejudice.  Of course someone was pride, but I didnt find where s the prejudice. I thought its normal, the way  people treated each other in that. I considered prejudice would be very disgusting. But to the movie  everthing was OK in my minds, except its length. Now, I think I have understood more about it. Im a  prejudiced person so I cant find wheres wrong. I merely like to do the things I like. Everytime I  meet somebody or something,my thinking about he or it all depends on my foregone experience and my mood  of the time.

读后感

Mark Twain"s short story of "one million pounds" is a very good work. The article on the "money is everything," "money is omnipotent," the idea of a satire, to expose the ugly face of capitalist society.

"One million pounds" is about a poor, honest man, that is, the heroine of this story has received a pair of brothers, the letter sent to him inside one million pounds. The brothers had made a bet, gambling, if a poor, honest people who come knocking on the door received the one million pounds, he will be what kind of results? Brother that he would starve to death because he could not prove that the money was his own, will be subject to other people"s doubts, and even the banks do not let him save money. His younger brother that he would lead a very good, and therefore they have the brothers of one million pounds will be loaned to check the poorest people, and spent 30 days abroad. Did not expect that during this period of time, people have the rare fortune suddenly rich, has tried to cozy up to him, from the free food, buy clothes, free accommodation, like a beggar, like to please him, and continue to improve his social status until the exception of the highest outdoor Wang Duke on! Not only that, he also has been a good wife and 30,000 pounds of bank interest, and finally from two brothers got a very good job. Lived a very, very happy life.

See here, I am so envious of the "lucky" heroine, but at the same time I would like to: people reason to curry favor with him, not just because when people value money too it? Worship of money is shameful and should not be reaping more! Money is not omnipotent, the world than money, there are many more important things ... ...

马克吐温著的短篇小说《百万英镑》是一部很好的作品。文章对“金钱就是一切”“金钱是万能的”的想法进行了讽刺，揭穿了资本主义社会的丑恶面容。

《百万英镑》是讲一个贫穷、诚实的人，也就是这个故事的主人公收到了一对兄弟的信，信里面送给了他一百万英镑。原来这对兄弟打了一个赌，赌如果一个贫穷、诚实的人收到天上掉下的一百万英镑，他会有怎样的结果？哥哥认为他会饿死，因为他无法证明这些钱是他自己的，会受到别人的怀疑，连银行都不会让他存钱。弟弟则认为他会过得很好，于是他们兄弟俩将一百万英镑的支票借给了这个贫穷的人，并出国呆了三十天。没想到在这段时间内，人们对这位突然暴富的罕见富翁，竟拼命地拉拢他，从免费吃饭，买衣服，到免费住宿，一个个像乞丐一样讨好他，并不断提高他的社会地位，一直到了除王室外最高的公爵之上！不光如此，他还得到了一位好妻子和三万英镑的银行利息，最后还从两兄弟那儿得到了一份很好的工作。过着非常非常幸福的生活。

看到这儿，我很羡慕这位如此“幸运”的主人公，但同时我又想：人们之所以讨好他，不就是因为当时人们太看重金钱了吗？拜金主义是可耻的，不劳而获更不应该！金钱不是万能的，世界上还有许多比金钱更重要的东西……

Published in 1847, WUTHERINGHEIGHTSwas not well received by the reading public, many of whom condemned it as sordid, vulgar, and unnatural–and author Emily Bronte went to her grave in 1848 believing that her only novel was a failure. It was not until 1850, when WUTHERING HEIGHTS received a second printing with an introduction by Emily’s sister Charlotte, that it attracted a wide readership. And from that point the reputation of the book has never looked back. Today it is widely recognized as one of the great novels of English literature.

Even so, WUTHERING HEIGHTS continues to divide readers. It is not a pretty love story; rather, it is swirling tale of largely unlikeable people caught up in obsessive love that turns to dark madness. It is cruel, violent, dark and brooding, and many people find it extremely unpleasant. And yet–it possesses a grandeur of language and design, a sense of tremendous pity and great loss that sets it apart from virtually every other novel written.

The novel is told in the form of an extended flashback. After a visit to his strange landlord, a newcomer to the area desires to know the history of the family–which he receives from Nelly Deans, a servant who introduces us to the Earnshaw family who once resided in the house known as Wuthering Heights. It was once a cheerful place, but Old Earnshaw adopted a “Gipsy” child who he named Heathcliff. And Catherine, daughter of the house, found in him the perfect companion: wild, rude, and as proud and cruel as she. But although Catherine loves him, even recognizes him as her soulmate, she cannot lower herself to marry so far below her social station. She instead marries another, and in so doing sets in motion an obsession that will destroy them all.

WUTHERING HEIGHTS is a bit difficult to “get into;” the opening chapters are so dark in their portrait of the end result of this obsessive love that they are somewhat off-putting. But they feed into the flow of the work in a remarkable way, setting the stage for one of the most remarkable structures in all of literature, a story that circles upon itself in a series of repetitions as it plays out across two generations. Catherine and Heathcliff are equally remarkable, both vicious and cruel, and yet never able to shed their impossible love no matter how brutally one may wound the other.

As the novel coils further into alcoholism, seduction, and one of the most elaborately imagined plans of revenge it gathers into a ghostly tone: Heathcliff, driven to madness by a woman who is not there but who seems reflected in every part of his world–dragging her corpse from the grave, hearing her calling to him from the moors, escalating his brutality not for the sake of brutality but so that her memory will never fade, so that she may never leave his mind until death itself. Yes, this is madness, insanity, and there is no peace this side of the grave or even beyond.

It is a stunning novel, frightening, inexorable, unsettling, filled with unbridled passion that makes one cringe. Even if you do not like it, you should read it at least once–and those who do like it will return to it again and again.
