淡泊人生——读《瓦尔登湖》后感

淡泊以明志，宁静以致远。

——题记

轻叩一本名着，细细地与梭罗促膝谈心；翻开一卷墨香，轻轻地聆听瓦尔登湖弹奏的梵歌。

回归自然的纯洁，回归淡泊的境界。我，作为一名浮躁的都市人，有幸拜读这由贵州人民出版社出版的《瓦尔登湖》，为我除去那躁动的灰尘，披上那自然的清新。

白居易曾说：“水能性淡为吾友，竹能心虚即我师。”这恰似这坐落在康科德的小木屋，梭罗就是在那里进行了两年两个月又两天的独居生活。他记录从春到冬的这一轮的风景，他的超验主义实践建立了一种与现代物质生活日益丰富对立的简朴方式，还原生活的原始状态。

真的很难想象，梭罗是如何生活下去，他将自己放在一个杳无人烟的地方，他拥有的只有一个简陋的小木屋，一张小小的床，一张普通的书桌和一些零落的稿纸，仅仅只有简单的陈设，仅仅只是他执着的信念，仅仅凭借着人对自然的欲望和热爱，他，完成了这伟大的实践，完成了这对自然的追求，完成了这本杰作，这不得不让后人称他为“自然随笔的创始者”。

淡泊是人生的一种至高的境界。当时正处于工业时代，物质的优越并没有让梭罗迷失，随波逐流，他曾在《经济》中写到：

“……人最完美的部分，不久也会被梨入土壤，化作粪肥……”

将所谓的经济与自然对立，当人们奢侈地享受生活时，却忘记这浮华世界背后的陷阱，难道就不怕醒来之后会是一场噩梦？似乎从原始时代开始，那些能够被称得上是“智慧”的东西早已被这社会的发展所抛弃，人们对于自然只剩下贪婪，总是渴望获得什么，有时像是一个无底深渊，永无止境。

梭罗总爱引用，记忆中影响最深的就是罗利的英译对句：

“既然人人乐道肉身本具顽石性，慈善心肠何能不将烦恼痛苦忍。”

带着讽刺去批判着人类的盲目，带着幽默去痛斥人类的无为。对于人，他的信仰除了所谓的上帝就是那些所谓的统治阶级，这对生活在基层的人民而言，生来位卑，他们活着就像一部机器，为了不让自己在劳动市场上贬值，抛弃了气概，抛弃了自尊。是的，他们的劳动力升值了，可悲哀的是他们的智慧却在贬值，难道这就是“安逸者”？这正如梭罗所言：“你刚走出了失望之城，又走进绝望之乡。”

上帝没有赋予任何人任何权力，自然自有它的公道。你，生来未带一草一木，死后又不带走一缕一线。奴隶的生涯终究是由失望垒成的城堡，有的甚至是由绝望筑成的荒墓，与其这样，为何不摒弃这些浮躁，还灵魂一份通透，回归自然的宁静呢？设想一下，当你应对这博大的自然，它给予你的是新鲜的空气，甜美的果实，突然间，你是否感觉自己成为了天真浪漫的孩童，不知疲惫地奔逐在它的怀抱里。

这些如水晶般的思想，梭罗还记录了很多很多，终点就是起点，四季的轮回正是生命的苏醒沉睡，这些文字就像是一杯温水，让人沉浸，心灵正被一点一点洗涤，灵魂正被一点一点安静。

淡泊是智者的动力，像是一把折扇，送来徐徐清风，拂去一片焦虑；又像是一面镜子，照清娇容的面貌，看清人性的本质；还像是一首诗词，念时如痴如醉，回味时百感交集。

月下共饮，湖边共赏。邀君在这片湖水前共冥，邀君在这份淡泊中共寻那份静谧！

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...

Learn to love and care

Here I am sitting on a couch alone， thinking about what I have just finished reading with tears of sadness filling my eyes and fire of indignation filling my heart， which revived my exhausted soul that has already been covered by the cruelty and the selfishness of the secular world for a long time。 It is truly what I felt after reading Oliver Twist， written by the prominent British author Charles Dickens。

The resonance between me and the book makes me feel not only the kindness and the wickedness of all the characters in the novel， but what this aloof society lacks， and what I lack deep inside。 These supreme resources I’m talking about right now are somewhat different from minerals， oil that we usually mention。 They’re abstract like feelings， and some kinds of spiritual stimulation that all of us desire anxiously from one another —— love and care。

Those charitable figures whom Dickens created in the novel are really what we need in life。 They showed love and care to others， just as the gentle rain from the sky fell upon the earth， which was carved into my heart deeply。

Mr。 Brownlow is one such person。

The other day he had one of his elaborate watches stolen by two skilled teenage thieves， Artful Dodger and Charley Bates， and thought naturally it was Oliver， who was an orphan and forced to live with a gang of thieves， that had done it because he was the only one near by after the theft had taken place。 Being wrathful， he caught Oliver， and sent him to the police station where the ill-tempered， unfair magistrates worked。 Fortunately for him， Oliver was proved innocent by one onlooker afterwards。 With sympathy， Mr。 Brownlow took the injured， poor Oliver to his own home。 There Oliver lived freely and gleefully for some months as if he were Mr。 Brownlow’s own son。 One day， however， Mr。 Brownlow asked Oliver to return some books to the bookseller and to send some money for the new books that he had already collected。 The thief Oliver once stayed with kidnapped him。 After that he disappeared in Mr。 Brownlow’s life。 Searching for a while， Mr。 Brownlow had to believe the fact that he had

run away with his money。 But dramatically， they came across each other again a few years later。 Without hesitation， Mr。 Brownlow took Oliver home for the second time not caring if he had done something evil。

Perhaps most of us would feel confused about Mr。 Brownlow’s reaction。 But as a matter of fact， this is just the lesson we should learn from him。 Jesus said in the Bible。 “Forgive not seven times， but seventy-times seven。” Why is that? Because forgiveness is our ability to remove negative thoughts and neutralize them so our energy may be spent on doing what we came here for。 We cannot move forward in our future if past issues cloud our thinking。 Stop put Mr。 Brownlow into the list of your models。 Always give people a second chance no matter what they might have done。 That’s also a substantial part of loving and caring others。

Then there are Mrs。 Maylie and Rose， Oliver’s other benefactors。 Maybe the reason they loved and cared Oliver was not because of forgiveness。 In my point of view， it was trust。 They had faith in Oliver when he was considered to be a filthy burglar who tried to break the front door of Maylie’s at midnight。 But this wasn’t how these two ladies saw the whole thing。 They denied Oliver’s crime immediately and listened attentively to Oliver’s own description of his miserable life。 They were deeply touched by Oliver’s strong perseverance and astonishing vitality。 Accordingly， they remedied Oliver’s body and heart and turned him into a different boy。 He began to wear appropriate and clean suits which were tailor-made for him and receive education。

当我们认为这个女孩,她给了我们不是一个漂亮的脸蛋或卓越的气质,让我们深深敬佩,但是她的性格的巨大魅力。

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.

简爱,是一个贫穷但有抱负的,小的身体但巨大的灵魂,晦涩但自重的女孩。当我们关闭这本书的封面,长途旅行后的精神,简爱,一个了不起的人物,我们留下了如此多的回忆和想:下面是小编收集的简爱读后感希望大家认真阅读！

我们记得她的善良:对于那些失去手臂和盲目的眼睛,对那些鄙视她的平凡,甚至有人在过去曾深深地伤害了她。

我们还记得她追求正义。就像一个同伴与善良。但是,一个善良的人应该促进善良一面,必须检查坏处在另一边。

我们记得她的自尊和清晰的情况在平等。在她看来,每个人都是一样的在上帝的脚。尽管有状态的差异,在属性和外观,但所有的人类都是平等的人格。

我们还记得她追求的生活,她的韧性和她的信心…

How can such a little boy who had already suffered oppressive affliction remain pure in body and mind? The reason is the nature of goodness。 I think it is the most important information implied in the novel by Dickens-he believed that goodness could conquer every difficulty。 Although I dont think goodness is omnipotent， yet I do believe that those who are kind-hearted live more happily than those who are evil-minded。

For me， the nature of goodness is one of the most necessary character for a person。 Goodness is to humans what water is to fish。 He who is without goodness is an utterly worthless person。 On the contrary， as the famous saying goes， ‘The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose， he who is with goodness undoubtedly is a happy and useful person。 People receiving his help are grateful to him and he also gets gratified from what he has done， and thus he can do good to both the people he has helped and himself。

To my disappointment， nowadays some people seem to doubt the existence of the goodness in humanity。 They look down on peoples honesty and kindness， thinking it foolish of people to be warm-hearted。 As a result， they show no sympathy to those who are in trouble and seldom offer to help others。 On the other hand， they attach importance to money and benefit。 In their opinion， money is the only real object while emotions and morality are nihility。 If they cannot get profit from showing 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。

法国大革命是人类史上一个血的印记。在那个混乱的时代，充满不确定;在这种无秩序的状态下，人性的一切表露无疑。双城记以法国大革命为背景，透过为族与平民之间的仇恨冲突，作者狄更斯只想传达出---鲜血无法洗去仇恨，更不能替代爱---贵族的暴虐对平民造成的伤痛不会正因鲜血而愈合，平民对贵族的仇恨也无法替代对已逝亲人的爱。

故事中，梅尼特医生从监狱中重获自由和女儿一齐到伦敦生活。五年后，他们在法庭上为名叫查尔斯?代尔那的法国青年做证，露西和代尔那因相爱而结婚。1792年，法国大革命爆发，故事场景转至法国。代尔那因身为贵族后裔而遭逮捕并判死刑，在千钧一发的时刻，一向爱恋露西的英国青年西得尼?卡登替他上了断头台。

卡登是书中最富魅力亦最复杂的主角之一。颓废、消极，求学时，他只替同学写作业;出社会后，即使拥有一身才华，它仍然选取为另一名律师工作。但是，在他冷漠的外表下，有著深深的温柔。凭这一斛温柔和对露西的爱，卡登做了一个好处重大的决定---代替代尔那上断头台---用自己的生命换回另一个人的性命，换回一个家庭的幸福和笑颜。这是卡登守护露西的表现，为爱而牺牲，这在那个大时代、甚至现代，是多?高贵的举动!

相较於代表的温柔和爱，多法石太太则是杀戮和血腥的象徵。由於亲人惨死在代尔那的父亲和叔叔的魔掌下，她终其一生为仇恨而活;为置代尔那一家於死地，无所不用其极，最后终於让自己死於擦枪走火的意外。多法石太太的嗜血固然使人不寒而栗，但也叫人不禁感叹恨的力量，将本该快乐幸福的女生塑造成复仇女神。十八世纪末的法国，被这种执拗复仇的火焰燃烧成阿修罗地狱。

教训和好处不能正因岁月而被遗忘。如果我们无法从其中获得一些什?，相同的杯具依旧会重演。两百年后的这天，期望活在这个世代的我们能创造出真正平等、自由、博爱的新世纪。

卡登的死，就像一支羽毛轻柔的飘落水面，没有水花，却有一个个涟漪，提醒人们：真正的自由平等无法用断头台建立。有一天，世界会变得更好，就像卡登临死前看见的世界，那不是天堂的幻影;有一天，那会是我们的世界。

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.

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……

雾都孤儿英文读后感

As far as we can see， it is trust that helps us all live together without precaution。 Sometimes trust can even lead us to miracles， which we often expect to e about， so why not trust? Trust yourself， trust others， and you’ll salute miracles every single day。

In the novel， though the young Oliver again and again fell for conspiracies of those hideous thieves， who tried to torture Oliver’s body and poisoned Oliver’s heart intensely， he always lived on and tried hard to seek for his own life。 Then I realized what supported him all through were actually beliefs。 In most cases， what you believe is what you’ll bee。 Believe that you are unlimited， that you can do anything you mit to doing， and when you do， your acplishments will know no bounds。 You control your beliefs and that is how you ultimately control your life。 It’s all dictated by your attitude。

In the final analysis， love and care contain numerous forms， there are love of forgiveness， love of trust， etc。 but they all e from your beliefs in life。 When someone tells you he’s deceived you， forgive him anyway， when someone tells you what he’s done， trust him anyway， and when you face adversities while chasing your dreams， think about your beliefs， then what hinders you will bee a piece of cake in no time。

So find out “Olivers” in your life and do as Mr。 Brownlow and Mrs。 Maylie do: love them and care them， which cost nothing but save much。 They enrich those who receive， without impoverishing those who give。 They can be certain smallest words or actions， but the memory of them sometimes last forever。

Charles Dickens said:“Love makes the world go around。” These immortal words have inspired and will keep on inspiring us to chant the melody of love and to say the prayer of care forevermore。 Let us， therefore， enjoy life and treat other people lovingly。 These principles are the roots and foundations of beliefs supporting this article and our mission together。

To Regain the Nature of Goodness

—— 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 dont think goodness is omnipotent， yet I do believe that those who are kind-hearted live more happily than those who are evil-minded。

For me， the nature of goodness is one of the most necessary character for a person。 Goodness is to humans what water is to fish。 He who is without goodness is an utterly worthless person。 On the contrary， as the famous saying goes， ‘The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose， he who is with goodness undoubtedly is a happy and useful person。 People receiving his help are grateful to him and he also gets gratified from what he has done， and thus he can do good to both the people he has helped and himself。

To my disappointment， nowadays some people seem to doubt the existence of the goodness in humanity。 They look down on peoples honesty and kindness， thinking it foolish of people to be warm-hearted。 As a result， they show no sympathy to those who are in trouble and seldom offer to help others。 On the other hand， they attach importance to money and benefit。 In their opinion， money is the only real object while emotions and morality are nihility。 If they cannot get profit from showing 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。

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.

Recently, I have reading the book "Jane Eyre”。 Although I forgot some details in the book, Jane gave me deeply impression, I admire her very much. After that the teacher also told us to put the play in to a movie, and then we all can touch each hero’s soul in the book. The play it mainly tell us how Jane is growing up when suffering from great difficulties and painless. whats more, it is impressed me that she still love her master even if he is blind at last due to rescue his mad wife.

And I like the Classic lines what Jane said to Mr. Rochester ："Do you think I can stay to become nothing to you? Do you think I am an automaton?--a machine without feelings? and can bear to have my morsel of bread snatched from my lips, and my drop of living water dashed from my cup? Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong!--I have as much soul as you,--and full as much heart! And if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you.

I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, nor even of mortal flesh;--it is my spirit that addresses your spirit; just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood at Gods feet, equal,--as we are!" its so beautiful, Jane is a girl who will never lose confidence in life and always sensible when handling with some motional problems. Jane was huge in my heart. She can control her life and fate. She knew how to continue her life and she got it!

Maybe after what she told me I have known that what love is and how to love and to be loved! The book is a book worth of reading, so all in all let’s enjoy it!

The Woman Pays

TESS is really a tragic figure in the book TESS of the d’Urberwilles.

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.

If youve ever been poor, this movie may be hard to watch. It depicts poverty in America in gut wrenchingly accurate ways. Ive been as poor as Chris Gardner, and, like him, Ive been poor among very rich people in the Bay Area while trying to work my way up.

Chris Gardner is a loving father and failing businessman. He is chosen for a competitive internship at Dean Witter, a stock brokerage. The internship, which offers Chris a very long shot at a better life, doesnt pay any salary. Chris has to live without a salary for six months while risking just about everything for that long shot gamble.

Chris is really smart. He can solve a Rubriks cube in minutes. But, hes poor. Poverty, like an octopus, keeps trying to suck him down to the bottom, and make him stay there.

His car is towed. His wife walks out on him, leaving him with a five year old son. He is arrested for unpaid traffic tickets. He becomes homeless. He has to rely on a homeless shelter.

All this while, he must appear for work in the morning in a suit and tie, and be ready to charm some of the wealthiest and most powerful people in the Bay Area. These people take wealth so much for granted that two of them stiff him for cab fare.

Having lived through similar experiences, I cringed throughout this movie. My stomach hurt. I winced. I cried. I hugged my knees to my chest.

The movie is very accurate, but painful to watch. I hope a lot of rich people, who think that they understand poverty, see it.

This movie will be politically controversial. First of all, it doesnt touch the race issue with a ten foot pole. For example, when Chris appears to stiff a taxi driver for fare （it was really the rich white guy who failed to pay）， the taxi driver never uses the “n” word. In real life, I think he probably would have.

Is the movie afraid to talk about race, or does it not want to? I dont know, but I know that some will protest the movies not shoving race in the movie goers face. Im not one of those people. The movies approach to race -- treating it as almost incidental -- worked for me. As a poor white person, I can tell you that poor white people face the same obstacles Chris did.

Second, does the movie sell the message that if you work hard, you will succeed, no matter what, and does that message tell the truth about success in America? I think that the movie is open to interpretation. Some will see it as an indictment of poverty in America. The scene of carefree rich people driving past the line to get into a homeless shelter is pretty devastating. Other people will become angry because they believe that the movies depiction of hard work leading to rewards, in some cases, is too facile. I disagree, but thats what youll hear.

Third, is this movie meant to chastise black men who abandon their children? Chris is a role model exactly because he moves heaven and earth to be a good father to his son. This will be debated back and forth.

The movie has a big philosophical statement to make, that has been lost on many reviewers, for example, Richard Schickel in TIME.

Chris is shown running throughout the movie. Remember the title of the movie: “The PURSUIT of Happiness.” Chris places emphasis on “pursuit.” Jefferson, when he penned the Declaration of Independence, did not promise Americans happiness, but only the right to pursue it. Chris says, at one point in the movie, paraphrase, “I am happy right now. It is a fleeting moment.” We experience happiness in eyeblinks. The rest of the time we, like Chris, are chasing after it.

I don’t know for sure whether it is the cold or the movie that kept me tossing and turning in bed, but one thing is certain: many scattered fragments of the movie again and again flashed in my mind. My cell phone read 4:16 am at that time, but I was not sleepy at all. So I decided to get up and write something.

"The Pursuit of Happyness" -- the title comes from a misspelled schoolhouse mural -- has a lot on its mind but mostly this: If America is about the promise of bettering oneself, why does it have to be so freaking hard? In the movie, Jeffersons Declaration of Independence words about happiness kept recurring to Chris Gardner. Every day, Christ had to work hard from morning till night, but still could hardly make a living. Chris saw a bunch of suits, mostly male, pouring out of the Dean Witter Reynolds brokerage firm in downtown San Francisco. They all looked “happy,” “Why not me? “ Christ wondered. He did have an adorable boy, Christopher, but wife Linda was becoming a scarecrow of overworked anxiety. Finally, his wife left Christ because of life pressure, leaving him and her five-year-old son, Christopher. And naturally, Christ became a single father.

With the failure of his business, Christ had no money to pay for the rent, so they were driven away from the flat. They became homeless. They slept in asylum, subway station public bathroom or anywhere as a temporary shelter. The destitution of life was absolutely depressing, but for his son’s future, for his own belief, Christ never gave up and he still strongly believed that happiness would come one day if he worked hard enough today.

With his great efforts, Christ won a six-month internship at Dean Witter, but there was no pay at all. So on one hand, Christ had to work hard to make a living; on the other hand, he had to fight for his intern work, since only one of the twenty interns would succeed finally. Besides, he had to take good care of his son after day care. However, Christ made it with his amazing willpower.

Christ was unfortunate, for he got a wife who was not understandable at all (though she has her own difficulties) and was in bad luck with his business. But he was very fortunate also, for he got a son who was very thoughtful and, I think, tough life experiences always make a great person.

It is said that this movie is inspired by a true story, and I want to say, this movie does inspire me a lot. What impressed me most are: Christ’s wife left him because of life pressure; Christ’s love to his son and Christ’s strong belief towards life. Through these, I know that it is not easy to be a good husband and a good Papa, since in reality, only love cannot only make everything. And I also learn that one has to strongly believe in himself, no matter how difficult the situation is, but of course, hard-working is indispensable.

I like to watch The Pursuitof Happyness.

From Gardner, who realized that what I do is the real men and how to do good is the real father.

Christopher was from, I feel the childs innocence and ignorance, how is the good son.

You gotta dream, you gotta protect it. If you have a dream, you theprotection on it.

This is a great father to his sons care and education Christopher In many cases, we would like to see a movie may be silly to pass the time,saying that some of the good, or it may be trained to listen to hearing English spoken. This inspirational film, I look at it with the problem. What I can learn.

From despair to find hope Out of society, have no choice but to work hard, as long as solely, nothing is insurmountable unless heaven or hell.

Christophers cute in his ignorance and innocence which Christopher has always been the man could in his father through thick and thin,no complaints. Im impressed the most is his father said to him "I trust you",

I think this is that they are able to Gardner in countless ting in front of the biggest setbacks from the powerand reason.

in tess of the d’urbervilles, hardy molded a pure, kindhearted image and rather an image brave enough to rebel, to shoulder the responsibility of her action. her unfortuneness was the tragedy of the society, her character and fate. it vividly revealed the persecution towards people after industrial revolution made by the conception of capitalism and traditional moral. following are some of my opinions about the causes to her death.

her character and parentage was part of the cause

in the author’s ideal world, tess was the embodiment of beauty and the incarnation of love .she represents all the merits of the villagers in her hometown: beautiful, pure, kind, simple, charitable and tolerant. to love ,she had no egocentric thoughts and didn’t plan to meet her vain wish by marriage .she standed by he dignity and pursue freedom .hardy made the poor, helpless ,humble country girl as the heroin.despite she committed adultery and murder, hardy still claim she was a “pure girl”. this fully showed the author’s sympathy towards tess. hardy elaborately modeled the image of tess and indignantly describes the depression confronted with tess through her short life.

tess is a young woman who tends to find herself in the wrong place at the wrong time. she is a victim, but she is also, at times, irresponsible. she falls asleep while taking the beehives to market, which ends up killing the family horse, prince she decides to visit the d’urbervilles in trantridge, giving rise to all her future woes, partly out of the guilt and responsibility she feels toward her family. she wants to make good, but in trying to help her family she loses sight of her own safety and her own wants and wishes. she becomes alec’s victim in the forest. she probably should have known not to put herself in such a situation, but she has few other options. here, it seems as though she is destined to rely on others, even when they are unreliable.

tess is also a strong woman throughout the novel. she stands up for herself and refuses to crumble under pressure. she chastises herself for her weakness after her sexual escapade with alec. if we agree with her claim that this indiscretion is a moment of weakness, we probably also feel that such weakness is not unlike that of most human beings. she is hard on herself for letting herself become a victim. at the burial of her child, sorrow , she weeps but collects herself and moves on as a stronger woman. overall, her determined attempts to escape her past primarily reflect her strength.

her parentage to some extent leaded to her final tragedy. born in a poor family, with an ignorant vain, drunkard father who did not care too much about the

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.

“Pride and Prejudice ", a novel a pleasure to behold, a beautiful and moving story.

The article describes a number of daughters Bo Nate story. Ji-an eldest daughter, gentle kind-hearted, beautiful Keren, Bentley and rich kids at first sight, but at the crucial moment has brought a twist. Second daughter, Elizabeth, Qingli intelligent, ambitious, assertive, consistent with the property of the nobility million youth met Darcy. Can be as arrogant Darcy eccentric, Elizabeth for his prejudice are serious, they love but refuse to recognize the obvious, but also continue to hurt each other with words, but fortunately dispelled the last mistake, married lovers.

Reading this novel, I have benefited greatly. In our people, there are many very modest, but there are some arrogant people. These arrogant people who sometimes annoying, they have eyes in the head long, others are dismissive. Indeed, the arrogance is a shortcoming in the environment to develop a character. Chinese children from an early age by their parents as holding typical "little emperors." If so has been from small to large, how could it not arrogant? So I think that we should not be arrogant people who have prejudices, but the more soul-searching myself, to see if they have not arrogant, after their own things to learn to no longer allow parents to worry about, tired.

As the book said: "Heart of pride in everyone. As long as we have so a little bit of strength, they will feel especially great. But pride and vanity while the same meaning, but in real terms in different kinds of self-pride is a feeling,Vanity will need to involve other people overestimate their own, so people have a pride without vanity, which is justifiable.
