Title: The Little Prince

Author: Antoine de St-Exupery

Main Characters: The little prince, the pilot, the rose, the fox, the snake, etc.Despite I’ve not in my childhood yet, I still prefer reading fairy-tale stories.The tales, which accompany with me in my old days, often make me think of some precious experience and sensation which only belong to children.This summer I’ve review this kind of tale, which was published in 1940.It’s the world-famous fairy-tale by the French author, Antoine de St-Exupery, The Little Prince.As many other fairy-tales, the outline of The Little Prince is not very complex.―I‖, the narrator of the story, is a pilot whose plane has something wrong and lands in the Sahara.In this occasion, the pilot makes the acquaintance of the little prince, a little boy from another planet, the Asteroid B612.The little prince has escaped from his tiny planet, because he has some quarrel with a rose, which grows on his planet.In that case he left his own planet and took an exploration at some neighbor asteroids.On his all-alone journey, the little prince meets different kinds of people, which includes a king, a conceited man, a tippler, a businessman, a lamplighter and a geographer.From these people he gets a conclusion that the grown-ups are very odd.Following the instruction of the geographer, he descends in the Sahara, on the earth.Traveling on the earth, the little prince, who sees a garden of five-thousand roses, is overcome with astonishment and sadness, as he considers his rose is unique in the universe before.At that time a fox appears.The fox, who tell the little prince about the meaning of the word ―tame‖, becomes his new friend.At the time to say farewell, the fox makes him know that his rose is unique because she is his rose and tamed by him.From that the little prince begins to treasure friendship and be responsible to his rose.At the anniversary day of his descent of the earth, rejecting the pilot’s advice, he goes back to his own planet by bite of a snake.―It’s too far.I can not carry this body with me.It’s too heavy.‖ he said.He tells his friend, the pilot, he must be responsible for his rose, so he has to go back.At the end the author doesn’t tell us the ending directly.Maybe it’s more significant for us to imagine, and for more, think over.One of the important characters is the rose.Growing on the planet, she is very beautiful, but her coquetry and vanity suffer the little prince a lot.In spite of they love each other, he soon becomes unhappy.On the time of his departure, he just knows she certainly loves him.The character of the little prince actually represents the children, and their native thoughts and deeds.On the contrary, the inhabitants on the other planets, such as the king, the businessman and the conceited man, they also reflect the defects in the grown-up’s world.The real theme of this fairy-tale with a little sadness, I guess, is the consequence of pure love and friendship in our lives, but not others ―matters of consequence‖ of the grown-ups.Unbelievable, this little book moved me a lot.I seldom think about the true meaning of love and life before.Well, now I can say, with my short sixteen-year’s life experience, it’s like the stars in the sky that lit my heart.The little prince is not only an ordinary fairy-tale for children, but also for grown-ups, and our teenagers.Nevertheless, when I read this book, I feel a little sad – about ourselves, whom are losing more and more innocence.Five questions:

Q1: In what kinds of occasion that the pilot makes the acquaintance of the little prince?

A1: The pilot has an accident with his plane in the Desert of Sahara, without any mechanics or passengers.The first night, when sleeping in the sand, he is awakened by a little odd voice calling him to draw him a sheep.Then he sees a most extraordinary small boy stand there.In that case he makes the acquaintance of the little prince.Q2: Why the little prince become doubt about the flower after a piece of time?

A2: The flower begins very quickly to torment the little prince with her vanity.For instance, she always force herself cough a little so that he should suffer from remorse just the same.In spite of all the good will that is inseparable from his love, has soon come to doubt her.Q3: Why the little prince plunge in to deep dejection when he visits the tippler’s planet?

A3: The tippler is drinking there.When the little prince asks why he drink, he says so he might forget.When the boy demands what he forget, he says he forget that he is ashamed.When the little prince asks what he ashamed of, he says he forget the ashamed of drinking.The circulated answer seems to be absurd and ridiculous.So the little prince plunges in to deep dejection.Q4: What’s the meaning of the word ―tame‖ that the fox tells the little prince?

A4: ―Tame‖, is an act too often neglected, which means to establish ties.According to the fox, to him now, the little prince is nothing more than a little boy, and he is nothing more than a fox, like the others.They both have no needs of each other, But if the little prince tames him, they will need each other.They will be unique in each other’s worlds.Q5: Why the little prince knows that the rose of him is unique in the world at last?

A5: Because his rose is not like the other five-thousand roses planted in the garden.He thinks in herself all alone she is more important that all he hundreds of others.Because it is she he has watered.It is she that he has put under the glass globe;because it is she that he has sheltered behind the screen;because it is for her that he has killed the caterpillars, except the two or three that they save to become butterflies;because it is she that he has listened to, when she grumbles, or boasts, or even sometimes when she says nothing;because she is his rose.【雾都孤儿】

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.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 come 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 become.Believe that you are unlimited, that you can do anything you commit to doing, and when you do, your accomplishments 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 come 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 become 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.【呼啸山庄】

Many people in the world are trying to find a perfect companion.Some of these may marry and not know what their new husband or wife is like.This kind of situation often leads to separation or hostility.Other situations may develop between two friends that stem from jealousy, desire for revenge, uncaring parents, etc.Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights displays several characteristics of destructive relationships.Three of these are uncaring parents, marriage without knowing the person, and jealousy.Uncaring or unsympathizing parents are shown throughout this story to be an element of destructive relationships.Because Heathcliff gained all the attention from Mr.Earnshaw, Hindley became disassociated from his father.This separation continued until after Mr.Earnshaw had died.Another example is between Hindley and Hareton.Hindley became such a drunk and a gambler that he could not properly care for young Hareton.This led to a separation between Hareton and his father as well.One primary example of an uncaring parent is shown between Heathcliff and his son Linton.Heathcliff did not even want his son for anything except enacting a part of his revenge.This is shown by Linton's fear of Heathcliff and Heathcliff's enmity toward his son.Linton even says “...my father threatened me, and I dread him-I dread him!”(244)to express his feeling about Heathcliff.The hostility and separation between father and son in this book shows that uncaring parents can cause serious damage in relationships with their children.This element of destructive behavior may stem from an unhappy marriage in which the husbands or wives don't know each other.This had happened between Isabella and Heathcliff.Isabella did not really know Heathcliff when she married him, but after she had married him she saw that Heathcliff was not a gentleman at all.To declare her feelings she wrote “Is Heathcliff a man? If so, is he mad? And if not, is he a devil? I shan't tell my reasons for making this inquiry;but I beseech you to explain, if you can, what I have married...”(125).Another example of this is when Catherine married Edgar Linton.Although she had been happy at the beginning of the marriage, she thought having parties all the time was going to be fun.Yet, after a while, she became bored.She also realized that she loved Heathcliff more than Edgar and would always love Heathcliff.This enlightenment created separation between Edgar and Catherine during the final hours of Cathy's life.An additional marriage which was made that was doomed was the one between Catherine and Linton.Because this was a forced marriage, Cathy had not yet learned all she could about Linton.Because she did not know until after the marriage that Linton was selfish and inconsiderate, she became distressed and grew isolated in the house.These three failed marriages described in this novel show that knowing the person you will marry is very important.While these marriages took place, jealousy also took a hold in some relationships.One example of this is when Mr.Earnshaw starts to favor Heathcliff over his own son, Hindley.Because of this, Hindley becomes jealous of young Heathcliff and sets out to make Heathcliff's life a nightmare.Hindley's jealousy becomes evident when he says ,“...be damned you beggarly interloper!and wheedle my father out of all he has;only afterwards show him what you are, imp of Satan.”(35).Jealousy was also found very notably in the relationship between Heathcliff and Edgar Linton.【老人与海】

On summer vacation of this year, I studied in novel “ old man and sea ” of Hemingway , famous writer of U.S.A.,.I admire the old fisherman's will in the novel very much, he lets me understand that a person must have unremitting spirit, could succeed.What the novel is described is an old fisherman almost the sixty years old, when go to sea and fish alone once, have angled to a big fish, but can not draw.After tough fisherman and fish have socialized for a few days, just find this is a big Malin's fish which exceeds several times of one's own fishing boat, though know perfectly well that it is very difficult to win , does not give up yet.Because big Malin fish fishlike smell of wound attract odd herds of shark vie for the food again later, but the old man is still unwilling to give up like this, stress the tight encirclement finally , take the large fish back to fishing port , let other fishmen admire it endlessly.The old fisherman thinks that as I read “: It is really too close from here to coast, perhaps there are bigger fish in the farther place ……” When,admire very much because this old fisherman in the persons, because play not for some fishing he already at this moment I, but he is not satisfied with the existing state of affairs , but advance towards greater goal.Seeing us again, meet some little difficulties at ordinary times , all of us complain bitterly.We are the future of the motherland, should be as ambitious as this old man, go to pursue well , greater goal.Read as me “ big Malin fish is it enclose light fishing boat move about , is it get mast to twine cable fast to begin, old man right hand hold steel fork high , jump out in a flash , affording to try one's best above water in it, a sound of wail has finished the life of the loud fish, it floats on the surface of water silently ……”When,the I one heart is too fall like pieces of stone not big.I admire that kind of fearing of the old man at all , unremitting spirit very much, though know rival's strength is very strong , but he has not shrunk back at all , meets the difficulty.Just because there is this kind of spirit, the old fisherman has obtained the victory of the trial of strength of this life and death.We should study the old fisherman's spirit too in life, do the thing and is not afraid of the difficulty , could achieve success.Read big blood offensive smell of fish smell one shark , fall over each other to visit to vie for the food, left hand of old man pull a muscle just, he can only use right hand, can weapon attacked to used for defend oneself with stick , mouth of swordfish that catch everything, and has driven away this herd of shark finally.But big meat of fish take into big half already, but old man criticize one's own left hand “ when the work this when have a rest ” humorously also, I am subdued by old man's optimistic spirit too.In life, some losses are unavoidable, we should treat the optimistic attitude , can't worry about petty gain or loss.Finally, the novel sees with a teenager that old fisherman has 18 feet of big long Malin's fish totally in the tolerance , the ones that have described this fish are enormous again, prove that old fisherman's difficulty overcome is big, than ordinary.Old fisherman's spirit that makes great efforts to struggle fearless of danger and difficulty that the novel has been extolled, we should be like him too, can' t be satisfied with the current situation , should be positive upwards, it should be unremitting to do anything, it must not give up halfway to meeting difficulty should meet the difficulty.Only in this way, we could obtain greater success and victory.【哈姆雷特】

Carrie was such an ordinary rural girl at the beginning of the story.Sitting on the seat of a bus, she couldn’t help feeling exciting at the sight of the metropolis’ spectacle.She was impressed deeply by large crowd on the avenue, the spacious square or tall buildings.Far more different from other heroines, Carrie was not a plain pure angel like Snow-white, nor was she brave enough to be a heroine of revolutionist or even a reformer, nor was she so clever as to be a successful career woman who start from scratch.What attracted her most, after her entering this huge metropolis was the incredible fineries, fashion shoes, smart handbags displaying in the shop windows, the jewellerys shining brightly behind the glass.She dreamed that one day, she could wear all of these, jogging gracefully into the most luxurious hotel with focused sights of admiration.And this was not merely a dream.Because she had large eyes which can earn others’ sympathy, even love.She had wonderful figure which can win others’ hearts.However, anything she got, anywhere she reached, had not come from her ambition.Things happened, and then she accepted.That’s what she had just done ? just to accept willingly from the bottom of her heart.She was not at all an evil woman who would give anything for the fortune or fame.However, she would give uo something for a better life when her instinct defeated her intellect.That was Carrie, a girl had her own desire, a human being just like many others in the realistic world.There’s one sentence written in chapter VIII:” When this jangle of free-will instinct shall have been adjusted, when perfect understanding has given the former the power to replace the latter entirely, man will no longer vary.” However, how many people can go that further.And I want to quote another sentence to wind up my essay:

“In Carrie ? as in how many of our wordings do they not? ? instinct and reason, desire and understanding, were at war for the mastery.”

“ Hamlet ” of Shakespear is a clASSical representative work.This book certainly does not have the big difference in the superficial plot with the historical fable, spoke or the Danish prince the story which revenged for the father, in which fills the rank smell of blood violence and dies.Just like the dramatis personae Horatio said: “ you may hear to to rape massacre, the unusual repair behavior, the dark center decision, accidental slaughter, borrows the hand murder , as well as falls into suicide result.” Windingly elects

This is a story about a special and unreserved woman who has been exposed to a hostile environment but continuously and fearlessly struggling for her ideal life.The story can be interpreted as a symbol of the independent spirit.It seems to me that many readers’ English reading experience starts with Jane Eyer.I am of no exception.As we refer to the movie “Jane Eyer”, it is not surprising to find some differences because of its being filmized and retold in a new way, but the spirit of the novel remains----to be an independent person, both physically and mentally.Jane Eyer was a born resister, whose parents went off when she was very young, and her aunt，the only relative she had，treated her as badly as a ragtag.Since Jane’s education in Lowwood Orphanage began, she didn’t get what she had been expecting——simply being regarded as a common person, just the same as any other girl around.The suffers from being humiliated and devastated teach Jane to be persevering and prize dignity over anything else.As a reward of revolting the ruthless oppression, Jane got a chance to be a tutor in Thornfield Garden.There she made the acquaintance of lovely Adele and that garden’s owner, Rochester, a man with warm heart despite a cold face outside.Jane expected to change the life from then on, but fate had decided otherwise: After Jane and Rochester fell in love with each other and got down to get marry, she unfortunately came to know in fact Rochester had got a legal wife, who seemed to be the shadow following Rochester and led to his moodiness all the time----Rochester was also a despairing person in need of salvation.Jane did want to give him a hand, however, she made up her mind to leave, because she didn’t want to betray her own principles, because she was Jane Eyer.The film has finally got a symbolist end: Jane inherited a large number of legacies and finally returned.After finding Rochester’s misfortune brought by his original mad wife, Jane chose to stay with him forever.I don’t know what others feel, but frankly speaking, I would rather regard the section that Jane began her teaching job in Thornfield as the film’s end----especially when I heard Jane’s words “Never in my life have I been awaken so happily.” For one thing, this ideal and brand-new beginning of life was what Jane had been imagining for long as a suffering person;for another, this should be what the audiences with my views hoped her to get.But the professional judgment of producing films reminded me to wait for a totally different result: There must be something wrong coming with the excellence----perhaps not only should another section be added to enrich the story, but also we may see from the next transition of Jane’s life that “Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you would get.”(By Forrest Gump’s mother, in the film “Forrest Gump”)

What’s more, this film didn’t end when Jane left Thornfield.For Jane Eyer herself, there should always be somewhere to realize her great ideal of being independent considering her fortitude, but for Rochester, how he can get salvation? The film gives the answer tentatively: Jane eventually got back to Rochester.In fact, when Jane met Rochester for the first time, she scared his horse and made his heel strained, to a certain extent, which meant Rochester would get retrieval because of Jane.We can consider Rochester’s experiences as that of religion meaning.The fire by his frantic wife was the punishment for the cynicism early in his life.After it, Rochester got the mercy of the God and the love of the woman whom he loved.Here we can say: human nature and divinity get united perfectly in order to let such a story accord with the requirements of both two sides.The value of this film may be due to its efforts to explore a new way for the development of humanism under the faith of religion.Life is ceaselessly changing, but our living principles remain.Firmly persisting for the rights of being independent gives us enough confidence and courage, which is like the beacon over the capriccioso sea of life.In the world of the film, we have found the stories of ourselves, which makes us so concerned about the fate of the dramatis personae.In this era of rapid social and technological change leading to increasing life complexity and psychological displacement, both physical and mental effects on us call for a balance.We are likely to find ourselves bogged down in the Sargasso Sea of information overload and living unconsciousness.It’s our spirit that makes the life meaningful.Heart is the engine of body, brain is the resource of thought, and great films are the mirrors of life.Indubitably, ―Jane Eyer‖ is one of them.【飘】

Scarlett , a very personality figures，the two mans she love ,neither does she know about.To her, I was compelled to admire, admire her strong and brave, admire her to lay down in the environment, farm workers previously suffered education, admire her to disregard the community to create their own expression of the cause.She is in the whole story, all a person full of fighting will full of vitality.I appreciated most , it is this “ Tomorrow is another day of hers.”.Promising forever, full of fighting will , will never give up, never desperate.I think I’m moved by her.So, whenever I meet difficulty, the mood is not good, I will tell oneself : “ Tomorrow is another day.” ’Gone with the Wind’ is absolutely a good book that is worth sampling repeatedly, the characters are graceful , the plot rises and falls, exciting boldly and unconstrainedly, though the subjective factor because of the author among them , the appraisal on U.S.A.’s Civil War is not objective and overall, but as to angle of literature, this one fine piece of writing generation definitely absolutely, worth visiting.Title: The Little Prince

Title: The Little Prince Author: Antoine de St-Exupery Main Characters: The little prince, the pilot, the rose, the fox, the snake, etc.Despite I’ve not in my childhood yet, I still prefer reading fairy-tale stories.The tales, which accompany with me in my old days, often make me think of some precious experience and sensation which only belong to children.This summer I’ve review this kind of tale, which was published in 1940.It’s the world-famous fairy-tale by the French author, Antoine de St-Exupery, The Little Prince.As many other fairy-tales, the outline of The Little Prince is not very complex.“I”, the narrator of the story, is a pilot whose plane has something wrong and lands in the Sahara.In this occasion, the pilot makes the acquaintance of the little prince, a little boy from another planet, the Asteroid B612.The little prince has escaped from his tiny planet, because he has some quarrel with a rose, which grows on his planet.In that case he left his own planet and took an exploration at some neighbor asteroids.On his all-alone journey, the little prince meets different kinds of people, which includes a king, a conceited man, a tippler, a businessman, a lamplighter and a geographer.From these people he gets a conclusion that the grown-ups are very odd.Following the instruction of the geographer, he descends in the Sahara, on the earth

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.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.Pride and Prejudice（傲慢与偏见）

Many people simply regard Pride and Prejudice as a love story, but in my opinion, this book is an illustration of the society at that time.She perfectly reflected the relation between money and marriage at her time and gave the people in her works vivid characters.The characters have their own personalities.Mrs.Bennet is a woman who makes great efforts to marry off her daughters.Mr.Bingley is a friendly young man, but his friend, Mr.Darcy, is a very proud man who seems to always feel superior.Even the five daughters in Bennet family are very different.Jane is simple, innocent and never speaks evil of others.Elizabeth is a clever girl who always has her own opinion.Mary likes reading classic books.(Actually she is a pedant.)Kitty doesn‟t have her own opinion but likes to follow her sister, Lydia.Lydia is a girl who follows exotic things, handsome man, and is somehow a little profligate.When I read the book, I can always find the same personalities in the society now.That is why I think this book is indeed the representative of the society in Britain in the 18th century.The family of gentleman in the countryside is Jane Austen‟s favourite topic.But this little topic can reflect big problems.It concludes the stratum situation and economic relationships in Britain in her century.You can find these from the very beginning of this book.The first sentence in this book is impressive.It reads: “It is a truth well known to all the world that an unmarried man in possession of a large fortune must be in need of a wife”.The undertone is very clear: the foundation of the marriage at that time is not emotion but possession.People always think that Austen was an expert at telling love stories.In fact, the marriage in her book is not the result of love, but the result of economic needs.After reading this book, I know the truth is that a poor woman must be in need of a husband, a wealthy man.I couldn‟t forget how eager Mrs.Bennet wants to marry off her daughters.If you want to know why she is so crazy about these things, I must mention the situation in Britain at that time.Only the eldest son had the privilege of inheriting his father‟s possessions.Younger sons and daughters who are used to luxurious lives have no choice but marry a man or woman in possession of a large fortune to continue their comfortable lives.Thus, we can see that getting married is a way to become wealthier, particularly for women without many possessions.Jane Austen told us that money and possession determined everything, including marriage and love in her century.In “Pride and Prejudice”, the sister of Mr.Bingley strongly opposed his plan of marrying Jane because the Bennets don‟t have many possessions and their social positions are much lower than them.From this, we can see there are a lot of obstacle for a not very rich woman to marry a wealthy husband.The society, the relatives would not allow them to get married.In modern society, although the marriages of economic needs have decreased rapidly, the concept of “money determines everything” is still rooted in some people‟s mind.A lot of parents try hard to interfere their children‟s marriages.Education background, possessions, jobs remains the main reason that may influence one‟s marriage.Marry for money is still a big problem in our society.We can‟t help thinking: can money determine everything?

Austen left this problem for us to think.The genius of Jane Austen lies in this perfect simplicity, the simplicity that reflects big problems.Although Austen was only 21 when she wrote “Pride and Prejudice”, her sharp observation of social lives makes the style of this book surprisingly mature and lively.The plots in her works are always very natural.The development of the plot is as inevitable as a problem in mathematics.I think the depth of Pride and Prejudice is the reason that makes this book prominent and classic.Today, her book still can be the guide telling us the economic relationships both at her time and in modern time.Leave Dead Man Island（亡灵岛）

Carol was once a happy and sunshiny girl.But after her father died in a plane crash, she became bad and took drugs.She had secrets in her heart and didn‟t want others to know them.When Carol went to an island, she found the host had a bigger secret than hers: he had killed a girl in a car crash.So he needed an island to hide himself.This is the story in Dead Man‟s Island.I think everybody has done something wrong and wants to keep the secrets in his or her heart.But do you know, even if we can escape from others‟ eyes, we can‟t escape from our own hearts.I had been told a story like this: A woman felt ill and she went to see a doctor.The doctor examined her carefully and told the woman, „There is a tumor in your uterus.You‟d better take an operation immediately.‟ The woman agreed.When the doctor cut open the woman‟s abdomen, he got such a big surprise—there was a baby in the uterus, not a tumor.The doctor was sweating all over.„What to do? Take out the baby, or told the woman‟s husband that it was just a tumor?‟ „But … I am a doctor!‟ He thought.At last, the doctor sewed up the woman‟s abdomen.When he told the woman‟s husband the truth, the man didn‟t move for a while.But then, the man jumped to the doctor, shouting at him.He was so angry and wanted to hit the doctor.After the accident, a friend of the doctor‟s asked him „Why did you do so? If you took out the baby, no one knows.‟

‘But I know!‟ said the doctor.I have a very similar experience.That was a Monday, I was cleaning the classroom after school.John, my friend came up to me.He was looking for my maths teacher.But the teacher had been after work.So I told John to come again the next day.I said to myself, if I met the maths teacher, I would tell him that John had been looking for him.When I was on my way home, I just looked at the ground, thinking about something.At that moment, my maths teacher came towards me and passed by.When I realized that, it was too late.The teacher had gone far away.At night, when I was lying on the bed, my brain was full of the thing happened in the afternoon.The next day, John would find the maths teacher and not think about me, just as nothing happened.But I felt sorry for John.I wanted to do something for him, but I didn‟t.Nobody knew what my idea was, but I knew.Many things like the dead man on the island.After the crash, he made himself „dead‟ and hid on the island.Maybe, he made others forget the crash, forget himself, but he couldn‟t forget.He always felt remorseful and locked himself in his heart house.What others think is not important, we should listen to ourselves.I think every one may face sad things, like relatives‟ death, missing the good high school, losing your best friends.Sometimes we feel cross and often ask „Why does the God do this to me?‟

To let oneself feel better, we maybe do more wrong things.But happy and free time is transient.After that, we will have ourselves, hate life, hate everybody.We want to forget, but can‟t.more and more secrets are hidden in hearts.We close our window, and it is dark inside.Old days follow us forever, how we wanted the „man‟ in the past can die.Nothing matters.Sadness is filled in our body.We live just like a dead man.Escaping can do nothing.Beginning a new life is the most important, take sadness but live strongly.When Carol left Dead Man island, I think she knew this all.The host influenced her.Don‟t be remorseful any more, face new life, no hiding, no giving up the beautiful life, show the world a real self.Leave Dead Man‟s Island, let a bunch of sunshine get into your heart house.Hamlet（哈姆雷特）

Shakspere(wrong spelling)created Hamlet--a man with wisdom and courage.In order to revenge on his uncle for killing his father, he pretented(spelling mistake)to be mad and suffered a series of misery.On the contrary, we can also say that Hamlet is rude and selfish for he did not think twice before his revenge.if(Capitalize “If” since it is the beginning word of the sentence.)a country has no king, how can a country keep alive(You need a question mark here since it is a question.)So, every thing has two sides, the bright side and adumbral side.Every time we make a decision we have to think twice.Comment: Be careful with your spelling, grammar, and punctuation.Too many uncessary mistakes.It is good that you looked at both the dark and bright sides of Hamlet.Thats quite objective and convincing.

Faust ———————— By 爱普

These days I have read this renowned book，I was amazed at this renowned masterpiece without any exception.It’s really worth reading, but I think it can be too hard for average people.To be honest, I just hardly understand it, and I determined to read it in my whole life to really taste this wonderful book.When reading this book, I have a strong feeling on the theme.I always have a feel that I have two extreme opposite aspects within my body.One is always try to challenge the any tasks in the world, it seems to not fear anything.Nothing can defeat it, just like Hemingway's famous saying, man is not made for defeat, a man can be destroyed but not defeated.I continuously pursuit every significant things.However I cannot deny the other opposite respect in my mind.I deny my efforts and people's efforts.I even suspect anything in the world.Just like Faust and Mephistopheles.But, why shall we accompany the devil？ Perhaps, we are born with evil.Only study and modify ourselves can we stay away from this evil.Faust can help us get away the devil, while I dislike Faust as well.He can choose to not let the the devil with him, he sign the agreement for his pursuit.As for myself, no matter what reasons we should depend on ourselves instead of others even the mighty God.In other consideration of this great piece, you will find how learned Goethe is.This book involves music, history, mystery and religion.Of course may be even more, but I only find these.I never think that I can learn all these like Goethe, but I just want to grasp them entirely one day.

Anna Karenina(Анна Каренина)is a novel by the Russian writer Leo Tolstoy first published in periodical instalments from 1873 to 1877.The novel first appeared as a serial in the periodical Ruskii Vestnik(Russian: “Русский Вестник”, “Russian Messenger”)--but Tolstoy clashed with its editor Mikhail Katkov over issues that arose in the final instalment.Therefore, the novel's first complete appearance was in book form.Widely regarded as a pinnacle in realist fiction, Tolstoy considered this book his first true novel.The character of Anna was likely inspired, in part, by Maria Hartung(1832–1919), the elder daughter of the Russian poet Alexander Pushkin.Soon after meeting her at dinner, Tolstoy started reading Pushkin's prose and once had a fleeting daydream of “a bare exquisite aristocratic elbow”, which proved to be the first intimation of Anna's character.Although most Russian critics panned the novel on its publication as a “trifling romance of high life”, Fyodor Dostoevsky declared it to be “flawless as a work of art”.His opinion is seconded by Vladimir Nabokov, who especially admired “the flawless magic of Tolstoy's style” and the motif of the moving train, which is subtly introduced in the first chapters(the children playing with a toy train)and inexorably developed in subsequent chapters(Anna's nightmare), thus heralding the novel's majestic finale.远离尘嚣的读后感

Much of the plot of Far from the Madding Crowd depends on unrequited love — love by one person for another that is not mutual in that the other person does not feel love in return.The novel is driven, from the first few chapters, by Gabriel Oak's love for Bathsheba.Once he has lost his farm, he is free to wander anywhere in search of work, but he heads to Weatherbury because it is in the direction that Bathsheba has gone.This move leads to Oak's employment at Bathsheba's farm, where he patiently consoles her in her troubles and supports her in tending the farm, with no sign he will ever have his love returned.This novel focuses on the way that catastrophe can occur at any time, threatening to change lives.The most obvious example occurs when Oak's flock of sheep is destroyed by an unlikely confluence of circumstances, including an inexperienced sheep dog, a rotted rail, and a chalk pit that happens to have been dug adjacent to his land.In one night, Oak's future as an independent farmer is destroyed, and he ends up begging just to secure the diminished position of a shepherd.This novel offers modern readers a clear picture of how important social position was in England in the nineteenth century and of the opportunities that existed to change class, in either direction.In the beginning, Oak and Bathsheba are social equals: he is an independent farmer who rents his land, and she lives on her aunt's farm next door to his, which is presumably similar in value.The only thing that keeps her from accepting his proposal of marriage is the fact that she just does not want to be married yet.After Oak loses his farm and Bathsheba inherits her uncle's farm, there is little question of whether they can marry — their social positions are too different.She is more socially compatible with Boldwood, who owns the farm next to hers and is in a similar social position.安娜卡列尼娜观后感

Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina is given lavish treatment in this lush filmed version by director Bernard Rose.The cinematography and set design, and extravagant costumes are lovely and impressive to look at.That and the sweeping orchestral score, containing music by Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, and Prokofiev, are almost worth the price of admission by themselves.As far as the story itself is concerned, some pieces of it work and some don't.The central love story, between Anna Karenina and Count Vronsky, is compelling and tragic.Anna and the Count have an affair, causing much talk.Due to the double standards of the time, Vronsky may still hold his head high in society, while Anna is forced to stay inside and hide her shame.There's the matter of Anna's confused, unfeeling husband--Anna's fight for a divorce and custody of their son is furious and futile.Sean Bean's portrayal of Vronsky, for some reason, didn't quite hit the mark for me.On occasion, I felt as if I were on the verge of understanding his character, but I never did.Sophie Marceau, in the title role, fared better.She makes the helplessness of Anna's situation is manifestly clear, and the tragedies in her life are moving, and the moments that foreshadow these are effective.The movie fails, however, to do justice to the rest of Tolstoy's epic novel, involving among other things a secondary love affair between Constantin Levin and Kitty Scherbatsky.These plot elements are given too cursory a treatment and come off like an arbitrary soap opera.Parades of marriages, births, affairs, and family squabbles are ushered through one scene after the next, and Tolstoy's ideas and ideals are neatly avoided.One must cut slack, I suppose, for a film that compresses a novel of nearly a thousand pages into 108 minutes of screen time.On the other hand, I'd have preferred the screenwriter to have trimmed the novel's scope rather than its depth.Is this movie version worth seeing? Yes, but just barely.Enough of the substance of the primary relationship is preserved to make the film meaningful, and as I mentioned before, the music and set design are fabulous.It's just too bad it wasn't fleshed out a little more.
