Freedom ——My Impression of The Declaration of Independence “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.”

First of all, I truly believe that all that is about impendence of a country or person should be treated seriously.The Declaration of Independence, drafted by Thomas Jefferson, is the fundamental element of founding of United State.The content of Declaration of Independence can be divided into three parts.First part is foreword and it declares the purpose of this declaration.Second part is a generalization of Capitalism’s political thought.And the rest part enumerates the guilt of the British Empire and makes a statement of being independent.I am emphasizing the importance of independence again.We are living in such peaceful year that we are not as eager about independence as they did.So we can’t experience the ecstasy of being free.Freedom is the main point of this declaration.Because freedom is the foundation, we must first make ourselves free.Without freedom, we act like a slave.“All men are created equal”.Equality is also a main point.In this declaration, they demanded equal right as Brittan does.This piece of law is applicable nowadays.Not only does equality mean we demand equal rights as the other do but also it means governor should be punished as usual when they break the law.“They are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.” This time I would like to focus on the line “pursuit of Happiness”.The phrases became popular after publishing.However, someone had mistaken that we have right to pursuit happiness for that we have right to be happy.The meanings of these two sentences are absolutely different.Apparently, we can pursuit our happiness through hard working, but it is impossible that we have happiness without exertion.Meanwhile, “pursuit of happiness” reminds me of a movie named Pursuit of Happiness.The man in the movie struggled for a long time and finally he succeeded.He pursuit his dream and he was happy in the end.What impressed me most is that we must pay for our own happiness.In a word, we are created equal and we should fight for our equal rights.Moreover, we have right to pursuit happiness but we must struggle for ourselves.Independent—— My Impression of The Great Gatsby For an ordinary lady, what are required characters? Is it self-loving or independent? I will work it out later.Daisy was a miserable woman because she lost love and dignity, being tricked by two men, Tom and Gatsby.I can’t find a more unfortunate woman than Daisy.I come to a conclusion: woman should be independent, self-loving.Daisy used to love Gatsby and she had escape home, tolerating the condemnations from others, even in the last night before wedding she drank a lot and threw the wedding ring away.But she finally gave in because she had to live on.Without materials, she can’t live and she knew love is also realistic.Paying her whole life, she married Tom.Tom was a selfish, vulgar, hypercritical man.He married Daisy to fulfill his vanity even he didn’t love Daisy at all.During the five-year marriage, Daisy gradually lost herself and lost her dignity.In order to live a better life, Daisy tolerated her husband’ affairs.Meanwhile, Gatsby showed up.He became more charming and richer.Gatsby did a lot to achieve his broken “American Dream” through seeing Daisy’s regret and shock.What a poor man!Gatsby showed his apartment and procession to Daisy and Daisy was moved and dangling.At that time, Daisy was controlled by these two men.What’s surprised, Daisy let Gatsby take the blame of vehicular manslaughter.If Daisy had been independent and self-loving, she would have not married Tom who she didn’t love at all, and she would have not been degraded.It reminds me of nowadays phenomenon.Many young ladies become mistress of the rich old man because of materials and abandon their boyfriend.They satisfy the old man’ every need.But finally, young ladies become old and get nothing from old man.A battle of women is not how to attract fascinate man but to be independent and be herself.A successful woman should keep on her road of life in her own way.She is said to pursuit her dream and maintain her career.Another topic I want to discuss about is “American Dream”, which is actually the theme of The Great Gatsby.The main character, Gatsby, a poor man at the very beginning, had a “American Dream”.He wanted to marry Daisy.But his dream was broken because Daisy refused to marry him.It was the first time that his “American Dream” had broken.Gatsby became rich later and did a lot to let Daisy come to his house, including moving to the house next to Nick, holding a lot of luxury parties.He made it.Daisy came to his house and fell in love with him again.At last Daisy let Gatsby take the blame of vehicular manslaughter and she fled away with Tom.What’s ridiculers is that Gatsby still believed Daisy would stay with him.Apparently, it was the second time that his dream had broken.What a miserable man and poor woman!Five Lessons——My Impression of The Five People You Meet in the Heaven Life and Death is metempsychosis.Mitch Albom's The Five People You Meet in Heaven weaves together three stories, all told about the same man: 83-year-old Eddie, the head maintenance person at Ruby Point Amusement Park.As the novel opens, readers are told that Eddie is only minutes away from death as he goes about his typical business at the park.And after Eddie died, he met five people in the heaven.Each soul has a story to tell, a secret to reveal, and a lesson to share.Through them Eddie understands the meaning of his own life even as his arrival brings closure to theirs.The first person Eddie met in the heaven was a stranger, blue man.Actually, Eddie met the blue man when he was a child.Eddie caused the blue man’ death indirectly and he felt sorry for the blue man.The blue man taught him a lesson.“No life is a waste.The only time we waste is the time we spend thinking we are alone”.Life never will be meaningless.All the thing we do and all the experiences we suffer are meaningful.We should enjoy our life.The second person he met in the heaven was his Captain, who had shot at his leg.He knew that the Captain did this for his good and the Captain died of explosion.The Captain also taught a lesson to Eddie.Death is not the end of everything.Self-sacrifice is a part of life.Sometimes you think you have lost a thing then you are giving it to other.We should be generous and give a helping hand.Your life will be wonderful after giving and donating.The third person he met in the heaven was Ruby, the wife of the amusement park’s founder.She told the truth of Eddie’s father’s death.She taught the third lesson to Eddie.To forgive other is kind of mercy to yourself.We should learn to forgive those who have hurt you or you just simply don’t like.The forth person he met in the heaven is his wife, Margaret.Eddie loved his wife very much, and so Margaret did.Margaret told Eddie that life is limited while love is unlimited.As for myself, I know that I can keep loving my parents even though they are not alive any more.Love is everlasting.The last person he met in the heaven was a Philippine girl, Tara.Eddie caused her death directly.He felt sorry for her but Tara forgave him.Because Tara knew that Eddie had saved a girl’s live.Eddie ruined a girl’s live but he saved another girl’s live.Everything happened in the world is related.The Five People You Meet in the Heaven reminds me of a TV series named Touch.Everything is associated.The idea of this book and that TV series is similar to Buddhism idea——Metempsychosis.Because we believe that we have future life, we pay attention to what we have said and what we have done in case that we would be punished in the coming future life.

第四篇：小说读后感

网络小说的价值

—— 《修真世界》读后感

我本来不爱看小说，尤其是现代的网络小说。之前，我一直认为现代网络小说没有什么可读之处，而且篇幅过长耗费的时间太多，实在是不可取。但大学之后，某次在回家的路上闲来无聊，看了部网络小说《战皇》后，遍开始偶尔会看些网络小说。我看的网络小说大多是修真，武侠类的小说，看了一些小说后发现，其实网络小说有那么多的人热衷其实也是有其可取之处的。而我最近正在看《修真世界》一书，就借以此书来分享下我对修真、武侠类网络小说阅读的体悟和感受。

异域空间，现代缩影

自古以来，所有的小说无论题材取自何处，情节何其不同，但在仔细阅读品位阅读后都能发现现实世界身影。古典小说《红楼梦》是一部百科全书，包容世界万千智慧，而《西游记》则反映了一个时代的社会生活。这些都有无数先贤文人讨论过，就不再班门弄斧。至于，现代网络小说又何尝不是呢。《修真世界》讲述的是一群修真们的生活纷争，相对于现实世界他们会各种法术，符阵，剑诀，他们需要面对妖魔和来至其他门派乃至自己门派的各种问题。但是，再怎么不同，在修真世界中仍旧处处可见现实世界的人文事故。

在文章伊始，主角不过是个小小的门外生产修者，任何门内弟子都可以欺负打压他。而主角也始终以赚取晶石（小说中的货币，可用作修炼及其他作用）为人生目标。但当主角在奇遇之后，快速的成长为一名灵植夫，以及后来被发现竟然练就剑气，大展雄风后便使众人彻底改变了对他的态度。在现实社会中，又何尝不是如此呢！在学校里，老师总是对学习成绩好的学生特别关照，在单位里，领导只关心有能力的人，至于弱者，生死有命，祸福由天罢了。在各种聚会上，所有的人也总是围绕着事业有成的成功人士，而失败者，估计自己都会躲得远远的。人们只相信强者才能帮助自己，认识强者才能帮助自己成功，而弱者，不但对自己毫无帮助，反而会拖累自己。不论是小说中的金钱观，人生观还是人际交往，无不透露着现实世界的影子。

卑微出生，引人深入

在现在的网络小说中有极大一部分的小说主人公的出生都是极其卑微的。而《修真世界》本文的主人公就是一个出生卑微的人物。主角出场时，是以一个失忆了的生产修者的身份，而且还是一个外门弟子。可以说没有任何的优点，乍一看，让人感觉主人公的人生灰暗不已。我看过得小说不多，另外《战皇》，《界皇》，《仙剑》（PS：仙剑应该不属于网络小说吧，不太清楚）主人公都有着卑微的出生。为什么所有的主人公都要有卑微的出生？我觉得有以下两个原因。

一、现代网络小说普遍篇幅较长，我认为短篇、中篇、长篇已经都不足以区分了，可称之超长篇小说。若主角出生富贵，强大，那么作者再有水准恐怕也难有太大的发挥。

二、符合读者的口味，增加文章悬念。主角由原来的弱小，经历磨砺，慢慢的成长强大，作者可以在其中加入各种悬疑因素，增强文章的可读性。尤其是现在网络小说的章节分明，只有尽可能的在每次更新时留以悬念，才会有人去乐意阅读，这也是为什么有那么多人等着小说更新（ps：还好我读的小说都是更完了的）。

路途坎坷，激励人生

每个人都希望自己的成长旅途可以一帆风顺，没有人会希望自己的人生在苦难的磨砺中度过。但是，一帆风顺的人生平淡而无味，虽然不用去经历苦痛，却也缺少了生活的乐趣。面对挑战，去勇敢的解决，在磨砺中成长，这样的旅途才会动人心魄。而在看过他人的苦难人生后也可以激励自己在困境中坚韧成长。虽然，小说世界是一个虚幻，不真实的世界，但是主人公的坎坷人生也可以激励我们成长。在《修真世界》中主人公的成长经历可谓是在海

涛中的成长，一波刚平一波又起，随时都要面对命运的挑战。当主角刚把小云雨诀精通，并修习其他四种法诀，看见了自己原本平静生活可以发达的一点希望时，却被命运戏弄一只妖进入其意识海。而当他得到自己师傅认可后，却又被门派无情的抛弃在一座小岛上。总之，每当旅途稍有平静便会有意外发生。一路的坎坷促使他快速成长，磨砺他的心智。同时，也给了读者在面对困难时的勇气和激励。

以弱胜强，战胜自我现代网络小说的另一个特点就是，主角的胜利往往都是以弱胜强，战胜的对手都是比自己强大的对象。《修真世界》一书从开始主角所面对的对手就要比自己强大，主角在练气期就要面对筑基期的高手，而到了筑基期就要面对凝脉期的对手，而且往往是以胜利结束战斗。而每次，战斗前的准备都是费尽精力，可以说是千召磨砺只为一战。当主角的能力提升后，面对的对手也会提升一个层次。就好像是在挑战自我，自我是每个人最难挑战的对象，自己永远是自己最大的对手，不论自己如何成长总是要面对自己的。自己越强大，挑战就越激烈。在现实社会中，不论是在学习中还是工作中，我们最大的对手都是自己，只有不断地客服自己的弱点，不断提升自己，才会有长足的进步。

在最近的阅读中，网络小说同样让我有所获益。只要是文学作品，既然有人会乐意去阅读，那么自然是有其可取之处。闲暇时，偶尔读几章小说解解闷未尝不是件好事。

第五篇：小说岛读后感

小说岛读后感

假期的时候，读了长篇小说《岛》。《岛》的作者是英国作家维多利亚·希斯若普，这部长篇小说是她的处女作，获得了巨大的成功，用今天的话说极具正能量，读后令我久久难忘。

故事发生在希腊克里特的斯皮纳龙格小岛上，那是上个世纪五、六十年代欧洲的麻风病隔离区。故事的主人公阿丽克西斯的祖辈伊莲娜是一位备受孩子喜爱的老师，在她被确诊为麻风病之后，连同他的一个学生一同被人们无情地送到了斯皮纳龙格小岛。岛上的一切并没有打垮伊莲娜的意志，虽然病魔一天天吞噬着她的生命，但她仍然热爱着孩子们，热爱着她的教育事业，这为荒凉的小岛带来了希望。而岛的对岸，她的爱人和两个女儿每天面对着海那边的小岛无比悲痛。渐渐地两个女儿长大了，大女儿贪婪，爱慕虚荣，毫无孝心，在嫁入豪门后贪图富贵，极力隐瞒母亲曾患病的事实，后来因为情变被丈夫杀死。而善良的小女儿正在兴高采烈置办嫁妆满心期待嫁给自己最心爱的人的时候，却被查出患上了麻风病，也要被送到小岛上，这是怎样的无法接受与痛不欲生的事实，所幸的是坚强的小女儿遗传了母亲的坚韧性格，不放弃，努力将自己的所学—中药疗法试验于麻风病，最终小有收获，在她的协助下，两位致力于研究麻风病不顾个人安危的医生，不断改进医术，最后，通过集体的努力，整个斯皮纳龙格小岛的病人有的治愈回到家乡，有的虽没有治愈，也离开了小岛，被安排在布拉卡的医院内，终于和正常的人们生活在了同一片蓝天下。《岛》的悲从麻风病开始，也随着麻风病的治愈而结束。最后，小女儿治愈，并获得了真正的幸福。

《岛》告诉我们，不要害怕，不要绝望，要勇敢的面对一切，在最困难的时候或地方都会有奇迹出现，只要努力就会重现光明。而那些坚强的人，无私奉献的人正是最值得我们敬佩的人。当我们以为失去了最珍贵的，以为失去了最爱的时候，只要做好自己，就会有更好更值得爱的人在未来的路上等着我们···
