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 isquo;m talking about right now are somewhat different from minerals， oil that we usually mention。 theysquo;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。 brownlowsquo;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。 brownlowsquo;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。 brownlowsquo;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。 thatsquo;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。

published in 1847, wuthering heights was 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.

英文写读后感篇3

sense and sensibility was the first jane austen published. though she initially called it elinor and marianne,austen jettisoned both the title and the epistolary mode in which it was originally written,but kept the essential theme: the necessity of finding a workable middle ground between passion and reason. the story revolves around the dashwood sisters,elinor and marianne. whereas the former is a sensible,rational creature,her younger sister is wildly romantic--a characteristic that offers austen plenty of scope for both satire and compassion. commenting on edward ferrars,a potential suitor for elinor's hand,marianne admits that while she "loves him tenderly," she finds him disappointing as a possible lover for her sister.

soon however,marianne meets a man who measures up to her ideal: mr. willoughby,a new neighbor. so swept away by passion is marianne that her behavior begins to border on the scandalous. then willoughby abandons her;meanwhile,elinor's growing affection for edward suffers a check when he admits he is secretly engaged to a childhood sweetheart. how each of the sisters reacts to their romantic misfortunes,and the lessons they draw before coming finally to the requisite happy ending forms the heart of the novel. though marianne's disregard for social conventions and willingness to consider the world well-lost for love may appeal to modern readers,it is elinor whom austen herself most evidently admired;a truly happy marriage,she shows us,exists only where sense and sensibility meet and mix in proper measure.

英文写读后感篇4

miss austen never attempts to describe a scene or a class of society with which she was not herself thoroughly acquainted. the conversations of ladies with ladies, or of ladies and gentlemen together, are given, but no instance occurs of a scene in which men only are present. the uniform quality of her work is one most remarkable point to be observed in it. let a volume be opened at any place: there is the same good english, the same refined style, the same simplicity and truth. there is never any deviation into the unnatural or exaggerated; and how worthy of all love and respect is the finely disciplined genius which rejects the forcible but transient modes of stimulating interest which can so easily be employed when desired, and which knows how to trust to the never-failing principles of human nature! this very trust has sometimes been made an objection to miss austen, and she has been accused of writing dull stories about ordinary people. but her supposed ordinary people are really not such very ordinary people. let anyone who is inclined to criticise on this score endeavor to construct one character from among the ordinary people of his own acquaintance that shall be capable of interesting any reader for ten minutes. it will then be found how great has been the discrimination of miss austen in the selection of her characters, and how skillful is her treatment in the management of them. it is true that the events are for the most part those of daily life, and the feelings are those connected with the usual joys and griefs of familiar existence; but these are the very events and feelings upon which the happiness or misery of most of us depends; and the field which embraces them, to the exclusion of the wonderful, the sentimental, and the historical, is surely large enough, as it certainly admits of the most profitable cultivation.

in the end, too, the novel of daily real life is that of which we are least apt to weary: a round of fancy balls would tire the most vigorous admirers of variety in costume, and the return to plain clothes would be hailed with greater delight than their occasional relinquishment ever gives. miss austen's personages are always in plain clothes, but no two suits are alike: all are worn with their appropriate differen as we should expect from such a life, jane austen's view of the world is genial, kindly, and, we repeat, free from anything like cynicism. it is that of a clear-sighted and somewhat satirical onlooker, loving what deserves love, and amusing herself with the foibles, the self-deceptions, the affectations of humanity. refined almost to fastidiousness, she is hard upon vulgarity; not, however, on good-natured vulgarity, such as that of mrs. jennings in "sense and sensibility," but on vulgarity like that of miss steele, in the same novel, combined at once with effrontery and with meanness of soul.

英文写读后感篇5

i think there are three themes revealed in the novel great expectations.

1.women are fragile. that is not because those women are in lack of will, but that they need surviving abilities and that of self-survival and struggle against destiny. they always turn to men. that can be called “hero saving the beauty”. this notion originated in the greek tales but is still adopted successively. the only difference between them lies in the plot and structure. estella is adopted and trained to break men?s hearts by miss havisham. havisham revenges men and marries estella to an unworthy guy though pip deeply loves estella. nothing can be bitterer than see his lover married to another guy for a man. pip really fell into the despair of losing estella. however, estella suffers a lot and begins to regret for her initial choice for her spouse and begins to treasure

2.facing destiny, women are physically and intellectually inferior to men. actually it does not mean they have an inferior intelligence, but that it seems so. or we can say that both men and women have the same potential of intelligence, but women never show a lot. god creates everyone equally, but not everyone is granted the same approaches to success or achievements. women are restricted to families, which restricts

them from showing a lot. they can cook food well, which is one standard for their excellence but not the one for male. the novel goes this way since it implies the male consciousness. the ordinary intelligence of women in marriage and love is exposed completely. havisham is abandoned on her wedding day, but she keeps the room like the day she got married, while on the other hand she tries every means to revenge men. bearing these two conflictive thoughts in mind, havisham certainly fails to live her own life out of the control or influence from male.

3.the discipline for women ]. a feminist de bufuwa says: “one is called woman because she is ?made? not ?born?.” culturally woman is the product of society and the result of its strict restrictions. those women who do not obey the disciplines are not regarded as gracious or good women by social criteria, which emphasizes on families, the responsibilities for their husbands and their dependence on men. in great expectations, estella and havisham?s misfortunes are closely attached to love and marriage. they try to revenge men and but they cannot leave men. estella leaves pip, but at last she comes back to him. and havisham keeps thinking about her marriage day and her husband. so in dickens?s novel, women are decent on surface, but failed in heart.

every period has an outstanding feature, which make descendants linger in mind. to learn this novel can help us in understanding better women?s efforts to stand up. society presses public to believe that male

plays a dominant role. havisham can symbolize a feminist but what then? she needs a male accompany. her ending somewhat is tragic but estella harvests through a long time, but anyway she wins in depending man and leading a pleasant life.

英文写读后感篇6

"with human love to love, we can turn from love to hate; but divine love cannot change. neither death nor anything can destroy it. it is the essence of the mind."

if i held the book "war and peace" with reverence, then, when i finished the book "war and peace", my heart is not calm for a long time. because, prior to this, the great russian writer lev? tolstoy's war and peace ", i have heard many, today, when i learn completely "war and peace" after the novel of the novel and its author had a deeper understanding. "war and peace" by paul christian okonsky, don't zuhuofu, rostov, four noble family in west china in the war and peace s life for plot clues, vividly shows from 1805 to 1820, the russian president allied with the french army at the battle of austerlitz, napoleon's army, the french army invaded russia, moscow fire rout, and a series of major historical events, the soldiers' spirit of patriotism and heroism, sing praises to the russians the uniting spirit and the great victory of the people's power. the scene is spectacular, the structure is clear and has a strong sense of the times. what i feel most is that the characters in this novel are very distinct and full of personality. for example, andrew was introverted, determined and had strong social activities. piel was outspoken and emotional, lacking in practical activity, and focused more on the pursuit of moral ideals. the heroine natasha is an emotional, vibrant, love nature, close to the people, with national temperament of the woman.

they have been trained and grown up in the war of defending the motherland, and these main characters have high cognitive value and aesthetic value. the greedy, hypocritical and depraved personalities of the court aristocrats represented by kuragin were also starkly depicted and mercilessly whipped. centering on the great patriotic war of 1812, it reflects a series of major events at that time. what's more, we can learn a lot of things, including philosophy, history, politics, economics, military science and even religion, etc., all of which, taken together, form a huge system of thought.

i had a habit of closing my eyes throughout the book, with only a few characters so real and vivid in my mind that i couldn't get out of my head. these characters run through the plot of the whole book. they have different ideas and personalities. in their different life trajectories, they have experienced a baptism of physical and mental war and peace.

i can't help but think about pierre, he gave me the impression is too deep just returned from abroad, in high society does chaos of food on the life of pierre again in his life road real play a role too: nobles, bastard, super rich, officialdom poor political tool, public welfare, the prisoner of war, the aggressors friend, a good husband.

after reading this book, i came up with a lot of feelings, such as: when i was young, i always feel that the war is not a bad thing, because the war can not only plunder the territory of other countries, but also can increase prestige, really kill two birds with one stone! after reading "war and peace," every time i turn to the pages of the brutal war,

read "war and peace", you really will understand, associate with a lot of very i think, "war and peace" such a novel, for me, although a little esoteric and fresh, but through this study, i have a preliminary understanding of such world classics and desire to learn.

read this book, my feelings are very deep, before, i was very naive to think, how good war! war can not only plunder the country, but also increase prestige, really kill two birds with one stone! "war and peace" made me understand the cruelty of war, the beauty of peace, peace is the most valuable, when the smoke curling up on the land of peace, it means the beginning of war -- people have to leave their homes,

there was a look of terror in the children's eyes, and no food, no water, no food, everything was so shocking, terrible, peace, what a holy word!

our world has a law, is competition, some people use the word bad nature to describe our nature, but we should realize that if we do not have this "bad nature". then our world is stuck in ancient times. had it not been for the qin dynasty's brutal war to unify china. our china would not exist, maybe we are still living in primitive tribal times. what about now, do you think the situation will always be the same in 200 countries around the world? i think human beings may be patient to maintain this slightly peaceful situation, but war is bound to break out in the foreseeable future. if there is no war for human beings forever, let's look at the history first. our ancestors may think that there will still be the sea on the other side of the sea, without people, it is an endless sea. but? we now know that there are not only "chinese" people in the world, there are countless nationalities and races. such diversity allows us to strive to build our country in the complex psychology of envy, envy and rejection in order to live better than others. will the world not be unified according to the law of history? at that time, just like the period after the ancient chinese people's reunification, we thought that "the world was at peace", but what about outside china? other places are developing, too. they're not empty. that our earth, we must recognize that in the universe is not only the earth with fertile soil a straw, not to mention the universe is a nearly infinite space, which is the probability of life will be very big, the universe by far not change his rule - to grow in the competition, growth after the war, after the war is unified, unified face to or after the competition, and growth.

"did i fall... all i know is, i don't have to run with a flag anymore

run.. no more war to worry about..." prince andrey lay still on the ground. this is a war, a war for the sake of faith, perhaps the emperor thought that this is only a war about honor and disgrace as a house, then is wrong. if the struggle is not a war, it is not a war. others are bleeding on the battlefield, and the emperor is shameless enough to say, "i will prepare meat and wine. you prepare for war." this is most deplorable. emperors are slaves of history. so, is it? people are dying. he can say things like that.

"did the bridge blow up?" "asked the officer. "of course." "said another officer complacently. "at what cost? not worth mentioning. two wounded and one dead."

the officer gave a nonchalant shrug. see here, involuntarily clenched fists, there is such as life as a child's play? but then i thought, isn't that what war is? death and injury are certain to have, but, this kind of life as a joke, indifferent to the lives of others, is not only the officer class of people can do it? today, on the battlefield, you charge, tomorrow at this time, you may sleep in the full of blood of the monastery.

war is the most barbaric act that dehumanizes people. why should we think of love, poetry, philosophy and other things that are the most civilized of human beings? i don't think there's anything wrong with that. the war that is already formed for the faith is not the battle, and then talking about the good thing, it is the conflict. but again, i think there is nothing wrong with talking about these wonderful things at this time. to tell you the truth, i admire pierre very much. in any case, gentle but not cowardly. he seemed like a good match. in the most difficult time, think of not despair, but beautiful afterglow. his life as the duke of bekhosff was full of drama.

this novel interspersed in the upper society, not limited to a corner of the novel, the scene is magnificent, is the reason why he became a classic. the characters are so distinctive that they are hard to forget. pierre, andrei, nikolay, and so on, seemed to be able to touch, if only through time and space, the blood, the real sorrow, the hope for the future, which was thus laid out before one's eyes. born,

people's various desires, the ugly side of the display. lust, lust, more. kuturav, too, did not care to be told that he was a one-eyed man, and that he had served his country with great military devotion. in the end, however, because of the dissatisfaction of others, the military handed over control. "my time has finally passed?" he muttered. . perhaps, as leo tolstoy said in war and peace: everyone has flaws, just like an apple bitten by god, and some people have bigger flaws, just because god loves his fragrance. perhaps he is the apple that is bitten by god especially much, therefore, he is the most loved by god that person.

the prelude to peace always requires bloodshed and sacrifice. whether the sun will rise tomorrow, no one knows. in the small workshop natasha and andrei exchanged human forgiveness. when the war was over, napoleon's time was over, and the austrians had won, everyone knew that the real dawn had come at last. yes, it is coming, after the baptism of war, when the tune of peace is played, the melody is particularly happy and moving.

weddings, children, it's human nature, it's a time of true peace. the last sentence, let a person feel a lot: i can do, but is to make the people who love me feel happy. those were the sentiments of little nikolay, the words of that thin boy of fifteen. yes, now that there is peace, all we can do is make those who love me happy.

say goodbye to deformed absolute values. to love, to integrate, to forgive, to understand; not to ruthless, to divide, to antagonize, to bring down. this is probably the greatest novel in the world.

i read a tale of two cities, the reason is that there are a lot of net friend recommendation online, they all said it was a very touching book, i'll download on the net with curiosity, finished part feels good, just write this entry.

the tale of a tale of two cities is a profound depiction of the turbulent times of the day, and the love of women who have sacrificed their lives for historical realities.

it is said on the internet that the tale of a tale of two cities is a story of two men and a woman, but i feel that the man does not know what the author really means. 's de, in my opinion, a hatred and french aristocrat, lucy, charles and sydney's feelings, is just to show who caused the war, why things. in fact, people have to be tolerant to others, even if the big things can be small and small. i remember one thing that happened to me: once, i accidentally lost my classmate's book, and i thought she would pay me for it. i didn't think that when i spoke to her, she not only did not scold me, but also told me that i could not forget the whole thing in the future, so i should form good habits. well, maybe this is the attitude between people.

in this work, i see a lot of different people. honest good yet suffered persecution horse knight doctor, loyal lowry, appearance indifference, inner passion, dissolute and selfless sidney, inhuman de's wife, cruel and wicked fremont brothers el... there is a complex hatred in it, but it creates more hatred, and this complicated act is vividly presented in front of us, and we seem to be back to the era of the irrational. some people complain that being born in this century is a bad thing, to be born in the past, at least to be a martyr. in fact, this idea is wrong. we should make contribution to modern life in modern times. and have all kinds of people in the world, they all have different personalities, we who don't cry because it is the character of the weird and don't make friends with him, also don't believe that the people around, maybe he is one of them want to harm you.

what i like most about a tale of two cities is sidney, the lawyer's assistant. carlton. his first appearance was different, and when the people in the courtroom looked casually at the ceiling, one of his notes revealed the plot behind the case. him with a melancholy, in an appearance as a lawyer, he is talented, but is reluctant to hiding behind the somebody else, do others stepping stone of success, he built his own hands and a wall, cut off from fame and wealth. he once said, "i am a desperate coolie. i don't care about anyone in the world, and nobody cares about me."

yes, we should not aspire to be famous, so we can not learn more knowledge. maybe you can be a stepping stone to others, and you can learn more knowledge from others. we can see his strengths and weaknesses, learn his strengths, and throw away his weaknesses.
