第一篇：英语小说读后感 A Book Report of Araby

A Book Report: “ Araby”

“Araby”is a short story written by James Joyce, published in his 1914 collection Dubliners.In “Araby” James Joyce starts the story by adopting the first person point of view so as to give readers a sense that they are a part of the story.“I” , the narrator in the story, always reminds readers of their own adulthood.It helps us to recall our innocent and sweet love stories while we were at the age of the narrator’s.At the beginning of the story, the author describes the street where “I” lived as a secluded ,isolated and quiet place.As it is presented: “North Richmond Street, being blind, was a quiet street except at the hour when the Christian Brothers' School set the boys free.An uninhabited house of two storeys stood at the blind end, detached from its neighbors in a square ground.The other houses of the street, conscious of decent lives within them, gazed at one another with brown imperturbable faces.” [1] The setting reveals the dreary and tedious life of Dublin.Mangan’s sister appears in the narrator’s sight and lightens his gloomy life.Apart from that, when Mangan’s sister talked about the bazaar with “I” , it is the first as well as the only conversation between the two characters.“I” acted as a brave knight who fight for his romantic and ideal lover and went to the bazaar—Araby.After an intolerable and unpleasant journey on the train, the narrator eventually came to the bazaar, but just turned out to be an disappointed place.He became angry and anguished.Even the readers feel sympathy for his suffering.In fact, the “Araby” much seems like an mysterious and exotic part of the world.It merely exists in one’s imagination.Mangan’s sister is considered as a symbol of brightness, helping him escaping from the current tedious daily life, which unfortunately can only last for a short period.Everyone are bound to experience frustration when entering the adults’ world.A young, sensitive and innocent boy will grow to be mature and disillusioned.Works Cited [1] Joyce, J(1914).Dubliners.London: Grant Richards.

小说《飘》是美国著名女作家玛格丽特·米歇尔创作的一部具有浪漫主义色彩、反映南北战争题材的小说。主人公斯佳丽身上表现出来的叛逆精神和艰苦创业、自强不息的精神，一直令读者为之倾心。这部经久不息的小说感动了无数的读者。有人说这部电影最经典的场面是思嘉在战争后回到被毁的家园，在园中手握红土发誓，无论去偷去抢都不会让家人挨饿那段，因为那时她的眼神和表情真的特别震撼人。这样说我也不反对，因为这实在是一部太经典的片子，经典的场面太多，各人有各人的偏爱。我倒是情愿选择这个：以后，明天就是新的一天了。什么是爱？什么是恨？爱和恨可以象两条永不相交的平行线，爱和恨也可能只需要一缕阳光就可以消融。珍惜拥有的人是幸福的，因为我们总是并不确切知道我们需要的到底是什么。太多的人只有在失去的时候，才知道去珍惜。泰戈尔有一句诗我特别喜欢：如果错过太阳时你流泪了，那么你也将错过星星了。历尽沧桑，你要学会忽略过去。因为——tomorrow is another day。

阅读了罗曼·罗兰的《名人传》，深有感触。罗曼·罗兰是20世纪法国著名作家，他的作品是人们强大的精神支柱。《名人传》写的是贝多芬，米开朗基罗和托尔斯泰的故事，他们经历了各种的磨难却没有向命运屈服，在生命的最后一秒仍不屈不挠的抗争着，最终成为了伟人。这也告诉了我们一个道理：艰难和挫折是对命运和人生的最好锤炼！在这三位伟人当中，给我留下最深印象的是贝多芬。他对音乐有火一般的热情，先后创作了许多优秀的作品。他的作品深邃而辉煌壮观，充满了幻想。但灾难还是无情的降临到了他的头上，在1802年，他意识到自己的听力障碍已经无法治愈，并且会很快恶化。那意味着他可能再也不能进行创作了!这是多么大的打击啊！但他却能顽强的和命运抗争，这也许是他后期能写出那么多不朽作品的原因吧。这种对生活对命运永不妥协的精神正是我们应该学习的，这伟大不屈的灵魂让黑暗的世界有了光芒，让生活有了希望。

读了贝多芬的故事，让我联想到了海伦凯勒——一个同样有着坚强毅力的人。她的生活同样是很不幸的，儿时的一场大病，让她变成了一位又盲又聋又哑的小女孩。在她的世界里，没有色彩，没有声音，也无法表达自己的想法。但命运的不公没有让她失去希望，她渴望了解一切，于是她加倍的努力，最终成为十九世纪最有影响力的人物之一。贝多芬和海伦凯勒在生活中遭遇着不同的磨难，但他们却有着同样的精神——永不向命运屈服！这不仅让我敬佩也引发了我深深的思考。作为21世纪的一名中学生，社会的竞争更加的激烈，我们的功课越来越多，学习上的困难也随之增多，面对重重的困难与压力，我们是不是也需要这种精神呢？是！在遇到难题时，在学习成绩下降时，让我们“借着贝多芬的光芒，再一次擦亮我们的眼睛。”用坚定的信念去面对挫折，用顽强的毅力去实现理想 读《假如给我三天光明》有感

父母、老师常常教育我们：一寸光阴一寸金，寸金难买寸光阴。自从我读了美国盲聋女作家、教育家海伦．凯勒写的《假如给我三天光明》，我才更明白这句话的含义。

《假如给我三天光明》这本书写了海伦对光明那热切的渴望和对人生的感慨，让读过这本书的人和她一起分享海伦人生中的酸甜苦辣。书字里行间，无不洋溢海伦·凯勒对生活的热爱，她用热情的态度劝戒世人应该珍惜享有的一切。她希望拥有三天的光明去看尽世界的一切景观。海伦·凯勒想看的事物实在是太多太多了，然而这只不过是一个梦。要是人把活着的每一天都当成最后一天该有多好啊，那就更能显示出生命的价值，然而人利用时间和享受时间却是有限的如果每个人都可以充分利用每一天的话，那这将会是一件多么令人高兴的事情啊!三天光明，对于常人来说只是人生中的短暂的一刻。对于双目失明的海伦来说，却是可想而不可及的。三天光明，对于那些碌碌无为的人，无非是在漫无目的地游玩着，他们追求的生活还不如那些乞丐，至少还知道去要饭。而目前青少年学生中也有这么一些人，拥有舒适的生活环境，良好的学习条件。但他们不是去珍惜自己拥有的一切，而是吃不得半点苦，把学习当成一大苦差，无心向学。对于学习，他们总是不屑一顾，不是以积极的态度去勤奋学习，努力拼搏，而是哀叹命运对于自己的不公，责怨上天没有赋予他们聪颖的天资、超人的智慧，让他们能一举成名天下知。现在的社会是靠知识才能生存的社会，没有知识的人是不可能在社会上有一席之地。如果我们可以好好学习，让学问把大脑给 占据的话，就可以为以后的道路铺上一层石头了！海伦·凯勒双木失明，她还能用自己的残疾的身躯写出《假如给我三天光明》这样闻名于世的书。

A Rose for Emily——Rousing Our Sorrowful Emotion for Emily

--------Response to A Rose for Emily

After finishing reading this thought-provoking novel, several questions occurring to my mind, for example why does she chose to ruin her own life in the almost sealing house, I just feel sad for the poor Emily from my heart because she could have a brilliant and sunny, happy and merry, enviable and enjoyable life with her family members.However, the bilateral influences of both his father’s education and her compensations about the attitude to the world outsides totally destroy her life and the life of some innocent persons.What we could do is just rousing our sorrowful emotion for the unbelievable Emily.Thinking over this tragedy carefully, it is of no difficulty for us to realize on point that our sorrowful emotion is deserved to Emily in origin and that her life is inevitably unfortunate because of her continual fear for the outside world and her persistent opinion of in-house being safe.Her death is not the end of the event, not the end of reader’s thinking.At the end of the story, the narrator mentions the body of Homer Barron in Emily’s house, which gives explanation to all puzzled scenes arranged above, such as Emily buying the poison, she keeping in the house, her servant being mute and so on.All of things could be linked together as the beads are threaded in one line.We should feel sorrow for the poor Emily when she struggles in the formal education in mental lonely.She has an aspiration for the common and normal life, not the life locked in the terrible house with the friend of loneliness, not the life discarded in the horrible house with the friend of tediousness, not the life littered in the abandon house with the friend of discrimination.She was just a soldier in her in visible war of two contradictory minds, one being out for the dreamy life and the other being in for the safe forever.The appearance of Homer Barron brings the expectation of the new, exciting, hopeful life to Emily.She did enjoy the life with Barron for a certain time as a result of her belief that her brilliant future depends on the Barron.These lead to the tragedy gradually.In my opinion, Emily is really innocent and how stupidly she gambles her future!If she wasn’t addicted in her lover with some rational sense, she will also come out from in-side to out-side and go on enjoy the beautiful life.Unluckily, she chooses

another road of her life when Barron plans to leave away.We should rouse sorrow for the poor Emily when she chooses the wrong way to deal with difficulty with the originally in-side mind that is the winner of the mental war of In-side and Out-side.She turns back to the in-side minds that her father nurtures and even develops this in-side minds because of her irritation and disappointment of the out-side minds.In her eye of the little and innocent girl, the in-side mind is much better than the cheating out-side mind and the in-side mind is , in final, the most safe way to live, at least, there being no cheats in the only-one-existing world.She wants to take Barron in out-side into in-side, thus only by killing her lover can she bring him into the isolated world separated from the normal world.She keeps her secret keeping no trace of other any person, and making her servant mute.Her mind of safe-in –side makes her crazy and leads the abnormal life.What happens to Emily is just rousing our sorrowful emotion for her, the poor woman

英语小说读后感

篇一：呼啸山庄英语>读后感

The book was written by Emily Bronte, it published in 1847.But at that time, it seemed to hold little promise, selling very poorly and receiving only a few mixed reviews.I found this in our school library, I chose this book because the title attracted me.The book is structured around two parallel love stories, the first half of the novel centering on the love between Catherine and Heathcliff, while the less dramatic second half features the developing love between young Catherine and Hareton.In contrast to the first, the latter tale ends happily, restoring peace and order to Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange.In the story, the two houses, Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange, represent opposing worlds and values.I spent twenty days reading this book.After reading this book, I felt for Heathcliff at first.Heathcliff begins his life as a homeless orphan on the streets of Liverpool, and then he tyrannized by Hindley Earnshaw.But he becomes a villain when he acquires power and returns to Wuthering Heights with money and the trappings of a gentleman.His malevolence proves so great and long—lasting.As he himself points out, his abuse of Isabella—his wife is purely sadistic, as he amuses himself by seeing how much abuse she can take and still come cringing back for more.Catherine represents wild nature, in both her high, lively spirits and her occasional cruelty.She loves Heathcliff so intensely that she claims they are the same person.However, her actions are driven in part by her social ambitions, which initially are awakened during her first stay at the Lintons, and which eventually compel her to marry Edgar.Catherine is free—spirited, beautiful, spoiled, and often arrogant, she is given to fits of temper, and she is torn between her both of the men who love her.The location of her coffin symbolizes the conflict that tears apart her short life.She is buried in a corner of the Kirkyard.In contrast to Catherine, Isabella Linton—Catherine’s sister—in—law represents culture and civilization, both in her refinement and in her weakness.Ultimately, she ruins her life by falling in love with Heathcliff.He never returns her feelings and treats her as a meretool in his quest for revenge on the Linton family.Just as Isabella Linton serves as Catherine’s foil, Edgar Linton serves as Heathcliff’s.Edgar grows into a tender, constant, but cowardly man.He is almost the ideal gentleman.However, this full assortment of gentlemanly characteristics, along with his civilized virtues, proves useless in Edgar’s clashes with his foil.He sees his wife obviously in love with another man but unable to do anything to rectify the situation.Heathcliff, who gains power over his wife, sister , and daughter.The whole story make people’s mood heavy.Fortunately, the end is happy.The author Emily Bronte lived an eccentric, closely guarded life.She was born in 1818, two years after Charlotte—the author of Jane Eyre and a year and a half before her sister Anne, who also became an author.Her father worked as a church rector, and her aunt, who raised the Bronte children after their mother died, was deeply religious.Emily Bronte did not take to her aunt’s Christian fervor, the character of Joseph, a caricature of an evangelical, may have been inspired by her aunt’s religiosity.The Brontes lived in Haworth, a Yorkshire village in the midst of the moors.These wild, desolate expanses—later the setting of Wuthering Heights—made up the Brontes daily environment, and Emily lived among them her entire life.She died in 1848, at the age of thirty.篇二：绿野仙踪英语读后感

After reading this wonderful story, I can feel love, brave, deep friendship and some other good spirits in the people.The Scarecrow wanted some brains, but on the way to the Emerald City, he thought out of a way to cross the river.The Cowardly Lion wanted to be brave, but when they met the river, he carried other friends to jump across it.And the Tin Man wanted a heart, he said he couldn’t love, but he didn’t want to hurt any animal.In fact, they all have the things they want: the Scarecrow is clever, the Cowardly Lion is brave and the Tin Man is kind-hearted.This book tells us a story of how a little girl Dorothy goes back to her hometown when she is in another strange city.Dorothy is a little girl who lived with her aunt and uncle in Kansas.The weather there is very bad, sometimes there was a cyclone.When a cyclone came, people stayed under their houses.But one day a cyclone blows Dorothy’s house, with Dorothy and her dog Toto in it, to a country called Oz.In that city there are four witches and a very famous wizard—the Wizard of Oz.And Dorothy’s house just fell on the bad Witch of the East and killed her, so the people there were very happy.Dorothy took the witch’s red shoes and wore them.She wanted to go home to Kansas but she doesn’t know how to get there.So the Witch of North told her to go to the Emerald City to find the Wizard of Oz to help her.Then Dorothy met the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion, but they need help too.The Scarecrow wanted some brains, the Tin Man wanted a heard, and the Cowardly Lion wanted to be rave.So they all take the yellow brick road to the Emerald City.On the way to the Emerald City they met some difficulties, but they solved them successfully.After they met the Wizard of Oz, the wizard gave them another challenge—to kill the bad Witch of the West and they accept.During the way to the Witch of the West’s house, they were caught by the witch and Dorothy was requested to work for her.One day, when the witch tried to catch Dorothy’s red shoes, Dorothy threw some water on the witch by accident and the Witch of the West disappeared.Only water can kill her.So Dorothy went back to the Emerald City with her friends but they found the Wizard of Oz is not a real wizard, he is also a man came from Kansas, and he is just a conjurer.He wanted to go back to Kansas too.So he made a big balloon and prepared to go.But when the balloon is going to raise, Dorothy’s dog Toto jumped away to run after a cat, so Dorothy had to get Toto back and they were left in Oz.Then Dorothy and Toto went and find the Witch of the South and the witch told them they can just use the red shoes on Dorothy’s feet, they’re a pair of magic shoes, they could take anybody go back to their home as soon as she said‘East, west—home is the best!’After Dorothy said goodbye to her friends, she went back to her new home with her dog.It’s really a wonderful risk.Yes, no matter where we are, home is always the best place for us to rest or study.There are our parents here;there are also our favorite things here.At home, we feel safe, we feel comfortable, and we can relax ourselves.篇三：小王子英语读后感

This story’s name is “The little prince”。As it known to all, we will encounter a lot of difficulties, even hardships.Different people may have different ways to deal with them.After reading The Little Princess, I am deeply impressed by Sara’s way to deal with difficulties.The Little Princess was written by Frances Hodgson Burnett, a famous novelist and dramatist.Sara, the heroine of the novel, was born in a rich family.In order to get a better education, her father took her from India to London so that she could go to the best school.Because Sara was kind-hearted, generous and most of all—rich, she was loved by everyone.All went well until her father died in an accident.Everything changed completely.She didn’t understand why the teachers and classmates treated her so badly.Even the principal who used to be fond of her, made her work 16 hours a day.Sara’s miserable life began.When I finished reading the book, I was shocked by what the unimaginable pain Sara had suffered after her father’s death.She used to be a happy, worriless, and rich Princess, but now she was a lonely and poor servant.She had to work very hard without any rest but only had little food.Besides she had to endure the unfriendly and even rude ways that her classmates treated her.All teachers and students in the school looked down upon her.The most important fact is that Sara had lost the love and care of her parents.What a mighty pain!If you were Sara, could you stand such pain? Needless to say，an 11 years old girl, even if it were an adult，he might not put up with it.But to my surprise, Sara faced it bravely.Despite of the torture of the principal and all those pressures above, she still was optimistic towards life.By reading this novel, I felt inspired and think much.When we meet such difficulties, what should we do? Some people always complain that the fate is unfair to them.Some people can’t sustain the hardships and choose to give up.Few of them even try to commit suicide because they lack the courage to overcome it.Compared with Sara—an eleven years old girl who can treat the pressure of life with optimistic spirit, these people’s performances are sounded so lamentable.Why can’t they make it?However, what impress me most are her characteristics and the thought of her “being a real princess.” This “real princess” does not mean luxury palaces, beautiful clothes and the apple of the others’ eyes, but being kind, generous and having good manners.It is unnecessary for “a real princess” to be strong in body, but she must be strong in will.Sara is a real princess in my heart all the time, whether she was rich and wore beautiful clothes in the classroom or she was cold and hungry in the attic, just because she had the good characters and kind heart.The story went on.Fortunately, a friend of Sara’s father found her and told her that her father left a great sum of money to her.I pray and believe that every good person in the world deserve a good result, and of course, we are the same.

第五篇：英语小说读后感

The women in white

It is a story of greed and evil, innocence and betrayal, confused identities and cruel deceptions.It also contains love.WhenMr.Hart right and Miss Fairle were separated,they still missed each other much in their own minds and never give up this loyal love.In the end, the gained a happy ending.It reminded me of the things we once loved.Sometimes,we are eager about something,such as hobbies and dreams.We think we can keep it eternally in our mind but if always is impossible.We forget it without thinking when we put our thorough attention on others,such as study or career.At last,we lose too much love we once took possession of.They always are most beautiful things in our life.I do hope we can pay more attention to find and preserve this beauty.In this novel, I especially admire Laura’s sister Marian.She is kind, calm and clever.Walter is a handsome and capable man, Marian and Laura spent 4 months learning drawing from Walter, I’m sure she loved Walter, but she was selfless and made all her efforts to help the couple be together.She isn’t a beautiful woman, but she is favored by the readers.William Wilkie Collins was an English novelist,playwright, and author of short stories.He was very popular during the Victorian era and wrote 30 novels, more than 60 short stories, 14 plays, and more than 100 nonfiction essays.Collins was a lifelong friend of Charles Dickens.A

number of Collins's works were first published in Dickens's journals All the Year Round and Household Words.The two collaborated on several dramatic and fictional works, and some of Collins's plays were performed by Dickens's acting company.His best-known works are The Woman in White, The Moonstone, Armadale, and No Name.The Invisible Man

The invisible man tells a story about a scientist called Griffin who theorized that people will be invisible with some scientific procedures.He succeeded, but could not become visible again.Instead of applying it to benefit mankind, Griffin tried to use it to control others and make evil gains.Consequently, he was killed by a crowd of people.This story leads to me thinking about the advanced technology of present-day society.On the one hand, people over the world have profited enormously from the technology innovations and progressions, in terms ofboth efficiency and flexibility.On the other hand, the staggering advancement of technology is always accompanied by disturbing

phenomenon.In the fist place, technology may breed endless greedless.This is well illustrated with Griffin, who used technology as a tool to make a fortune,even conduct other evil behavior.In the second place, if a scientist does not have a sense of justice and responsibility, misuse will ensure.This scientist is just a case in point, he planed to begin a Reign of

Terror, using his invisibility to terrorize the nation with Kemp as his secret confederate.In a word, this is both thought-provoking and interesting story.The Mayor of Casterbridge

Hardy mainly reflects the main character’s tragically fate to illustrate the strong force and blind function of fate.Human beings can never escape from the puzzle and grief, which is manipulated by tragically fate.In the novel, Hardy’s main characters seem to be victims of a blind fate.Hardy’s pessimism is mainly portrayed by Character’s fate.The failure of Henchard and Lucetta can be reflected Hardy’s view that human beings are never free enough to exert their own will on the universe.Through reading the novel, the thing impressed me most is Hardy’s deep sympathies are reserved for those people who are unable to protect themselves against fate.Hardy does not see them as helpless victims.Indeed, there are frequent expressions of hope for the future.That is the real significance of Hardy’s pessimism.Our life is full of difficulties, no one can escape from the destiny.We need the power that comes from our heart and soul to help us, and encourage us to fight against the fate.At the end, one point comes to my mind, “ we can lose everything, but not losing our hope.”

Jamaica Inn

After reading this book,I was touched deeply.Here is some aspects.Firstly,the inequality between the sexes, showing the hardship of women who are the victims.Mary Yellan is a victim from the very beginning of the novel.She is a victim of the event when her mother dies and she is forced to move to her only relative.Mary also becomes a victim at the hands of Joss Merlyn, who treats her roughly, cows her, and involves her as an unwilling witness to his murderous activities.Mary

us that the character would have great expectations just as the title goes.But in fact this title has a tone ofsarcastic on the other way around.People always like to compare with their friend.If other people have a lot of money, we also want to be rich.If all the people around us are poor, we never mind that we are very poor, too.I have learnt a lot from this novel.I believe the real gentlemen are not those who are rich, they should also be generous and kind.And, money may buy many things, but it can’t buy friendship and happiness.It is not worth gaining the money and social position at the cost of losing the precious things.Charles Dickens was an English writer and social critic.He created some of the world's most memorable fictional characters and is generally regarded as the greatest novelist of the Victorian period.During his life, his works enjoyed unprecedented fame, and by the twentieth century his literary genius was broadly acknowledged by critics and scholars.His novels and short stories continue to be widely popular.His main work including The pickwick papers, Oliver Twist, David Copperfield, Great Expectation and so on.
