小王子读后感

Despite I’baive 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. “duI”, 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.

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。

傲慢与偏见读后感

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

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

Reading this novel, I have benefited greatly. In our people, there are many very modest, but there are some arrogant people. These arrogant people who sometimes annoying, they have eyes in the head long, others are dismissive. Indeed, the arrogance is a shortcoming in the environment to develop a character. Chinese children from an early age

by their parents as holding掌上明珠typical "little emperors." If so has been from small to large养尊du处优, how could it not arrogant? So I think that we should not be arrogant people who have prejudices, but the more soul-searching myself, to see if they have not arrogant, after their own things to learn to no longer allow parents to worry about, tired.

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

欧·亨利短篇小说读后感

Selected short stories by O. Henry is an anthology of the works of American short story master o. Hendrie. In the book Zhi, the ugly behaviors of those "upper class figures" and "proud people" in the society, who are extortion and extortion, deceived and deceived by Lidao, are exposed. Through their various performances, they vividly show readers the dark and funny nature of "civilized society", the reality of "the weak eating the jungle" and the loss of good nature. They also show the alienation and distortion of human nature in the living environment where money is omnipotent and profit-seeking.

However, in many descriptions of the ugly human nature, there are also many "little people" who make people respect each other. After a smile at the absurd and funny stories, people are filled with emotion. What impresses me most is the article "two Thanksgiving gentlemen", which makes me really appreciate the charm of human nature.

The story tells of two American gentlemen - one of whom can't be called

a gentleman at all. He can only say that he is a poor man suffering from hunger all the year round. There was a strange agreement between them - every Thanksgiving, the poor would sit on the third bench on the right side of the east entrance to the sidewalk opposite the fountain in federal square, waiting for the arrival of the old gentleman. When the old gentleman came, he would bring the hungry poor man a good meal. This is the sacred agreement between them. To the old gentleman, a meal is a trifle, but he finds the pleasure of helping others. The purpose of the poor is not only to have a good meal, but also to make an old man do what he wants.

This tradition lasted for nine years, and the tenth year of Thanksgiving, the poor were on their way to dating sites. But something unexpected happened. On the way, the poor were invited into the door by the housekeeper of a house and could enjoy a big meal. The original owners of the house, two old ladies, also had a strange tradition of inviting the first hungry passer-by in the middle of the day to eat and drink and have a good meal. The hungry poor couldn't resist the temptation of food and ate. When he walked out of the house with satisfaction, he remembered the appointment with the old gentleman. But he met with the old gentleman as promised. The old gentleman took him to a restaurant. In order not to spoil the old gentleman's pleasure, the poor man had to pretend to be hungry and gobble it up. Although the poor only had the

strength to move and breathe. After the poor man finished eating, the old gentleman paid the bill and said goodbye.

The end of the story is that both of them fainted on the way home and were taken to the hospital. The poor man almost broke his stomach because he ate too much, while the old gentleman, a rich man who had been rich a few days ago, fell down on the road because he had not eaten for three days and nights.

Reading this article is like chewing an olive, sweet with a trace of sour, let people in a indifferent smile, thinking for a long time.

The protagonists in this article are at best two "small people", but the human charm reflecting the primary promotion of oneself and mutual help is unmatched by those "big men" and "powerful men".

With only a little money left on him, the old gentleman could not go to the appointment. But what he valued was not money, but integrity. He would rather starve to death than break his promise. Compared with some people in today's society who will do anything as long as their own interests are damaged, the old gentleman's human charm is fully revealed. Look at the poor man. Although he has not enough food and clothes, and has no education, he is more charming than any well-educated "dignitaries" - that is the charm of human nature. He can tell the old gentleman that he is full, but in order to fulfill the wish of the old gentleman, he clenched his teeth and ate the food clean. Maybe it's

ridiculous, but it's not so great, how admirable!

After reading this article, I know the great power of human nature, and I am determined to be like those two gentlemen, not to live a magnificent life, but to seek truth, truth, meaning and pursuit!!!

《我的叔叔于勒》读后感

After reading this article "my uncle Yule" written by mobo Bai sang, I feel a lot of emotion. Zhi

In this article, "my uncle" has money in Daole, and our whole family is looking forward to his early return, which can bring us a happy and luxurious life.

But on this trip, when "we" saw him on the boat, he did not make much money, but an old and poor old oyster salesman. "Father" and "mother" try to avoid him as much as possible. Why? Because he has no money. Think about it from another angle. Did Yu Le really not recognize his nephew? Didn't you really recognize that it was your brother who bought his oysters? The answer is No. he certainly recognized it. Because he knew that he had made many mistakes before, so he was embarrassed to recognize him.

Think again, why didn't Yu Le go back to his hometown? The answer can be found in the captain's mouth: "it is said that he has relatives in Harvard, but he does not want to return to them because he owes them money..." In this way, Yu Le has changed from a former "hooligan" to an

"old man selling oysters" who knows that money is not easy to go through the vicissitudes of life. At least he knows that he needs to be self reliant. Clarice, however, saw that he had no money now and was afraid that he would come back to eat them. This shows that "my mother" is a market woman. And "my father" Phillip, like his mother, was "blind to profit", and they believed that "my uncle" had no future in his life.

If I were Clarice, I would also recognize my brother, because it is inevitable for people to make mistakes, and it is also a kind of precious wealth if we can correct the evil. If I were Philip, no matter how poor and rogue my brother was, I would recognize him. After all, the kinship with blood is thicker than water.

麦琪bai的礼物读后感

The gift of Maggie Bai after reading, O Henry's Mini novel Du Maggie's gift Zhi tells a ridiculous but touching story that Dao was born in a small family in the lower class of society at Christmas. The hero Jim is a small clerk whose salary is only enough to support his life. The heroine della is a virtuous and kind-hearted housewife. Their lives were poor, but Jim and Della had the same precious treasure -- a gold watch handed down by Jim's ancestral family. Even if "the basement is full of gold and silver, and King Solomon is the gatekeeper, whenever Jim passes by, he will touch out the gold watch, so that King Solomon will blow his beard and stare with envy." Della's beautiful waterfall like hair can "make NABA" It

shows that the Queen's Pearl baby is fading. In order to give each other a gift at Christmas, Jim sold his gold watch and bought della a a set of combs made of pure tortoiseshell with jewels on the edge; della sold her long hair and bought Jim a platinum watch chain. The first time I knew this article, I heard it on the radio. At that time, when I was very young, I didn't feel much when I listened to it. I just had a puzzle. Why can't the hero's watch strap and comb be bought? It was not until I saw the original work that it was a jeweled comb and a platinum watch band. At that time, the radio chose this novel to broadcast because of the political needs at that time, so that we could feel the warmth of socialism and the ugliness of the capitalist society. Of course, these things were gradually understood when we grew up. This novel has been with me ever since I came into contact with the original. From time to time take out to review the inside of the plot, although the story is small, but everywhere flashing the glory of human nature, warm family, love, loyalty. In a difficult and difficult environment, a couple who love and depend on each other, exchange their most precious things for each other's beloved gifts. Although the story is some tragic color, but set off is more valuable than the love between people. In the article, the author does not carry out any preaching and critical narration, but a detailed description of the surrounding environment and family conditions, so that the characters are ready to emerge, as if such things happened in the city around us. As

the old saying goes: a friend in need is a friend indeed. Looking at our present environment, fame and wealth are at the forefront. The indifference between people has nothing to do with one's own affairs, and is totally focused on interests. Morality, kinship and love are fragmented by money. In order to benefit and money, husband and wife parted ways, brothers turned against each other, friends suspected each other, as if only utilitarian is the first. At present, whether a person's value is successful or not depends on his wealth and status. No matter how kind a person's heart is, it has nothing to do with it. Judging people by their appearance has become our standard to measure a person. Since ancient times, China's modesty and moral standards have been forgotten. People sometimes see the public misconduct has been indifferent, everywhere full of numbness. On the contrary, they scoffed at some of the acts of dedication, reaching the level of bad money chasing good. As Bo Yang and Lu Xun said, this society is a big dye vat, any kind of heterogeneous culture will lose its original nature in this VAT. However, this article can always arouse people's inner goodness, so that people can also experience the peace and warmth of the world's true feelings. The dominant human nature is not to cheat on others and forget what they are interested in. As the Nobel laureate Mother Teresa said: "we often can't do great things, but we can do small things with great love." "Let me love until I get hurt." each of us should carry

forward our love and care for the world and make the world a better place.

《汤姆索亚历险记》读后感

The adventures of Tom Sawyer was written by Du Mark Twain, a famous American writer in Bai, who mainly lived in American youth. The background of the story is St. Petersburg on the Mississippi River in the 19th century.

Tom, the protagonist of the story, is a typical American teenager who is naive, lively and naughty. He and shack, the wild child, have done a lot of wonderful things. For example, when Tom was punished for painting the wall, he used a trick, which not only made other children willingly work for him, but also offered thanks automatically. Later, they fled to the desert island with shack. People thought they were drowned and were holding a funeral for them in the church, but they were listening from the bell tower of the church. Although these mischievous actions can not serve as a model for us, for the sake of justice, he resolutely stood up as a witness to save the innocent criminal muff Peter. In addition to the murder of Xia Ke, he became a naughty hero. It seems that Tom has something to learn from.

In fact, the child's mischievous sometimes just reflects the child's innocence. This kind of innocence is hard to find after childhood. What we can find is only a little sweet memory that we will think of

occasionally. I believe that even if your childhood is hard, you will be happy in retrospect. Who didn't do one and a half stupid things as a child? The more you grow up, the more interesting you'll find these stupid things. I say childhood is like a can of sweet wine. The longer the time goes by, the more fragrant, purer and more memorable.

People always grow up. In addition to being tall and strong, people's minds are also growing. You have a different view of the world, sensible, no longer naive. But people have to get better and better. Don't be like the ruthless villain Zoe in the adventure. He does all the bad things and people hate him. But in the end, he got a result of starving to death in the cave.

After watching the adventures of Tom Sawyer, I really envy Tom to have such an interesting experience. This book makes people look very interested, even forget to eat and sleep. I think the adventures of Tom Sawyer can make you laugh when you are upset.

In this book, the little hero Tom Sawyer took me to his childhood. In his childhood, the naughty Tom Sawyer took me to his family, his school.

He loved huckleberry, Joey Harper, bane Roger, Jim harrings Play together. He once told the truth, took Injun Joe to court and rescued poor murphyport. Once again, he called Huck and Joey to a desert island to be pirates. On another occasion, he rescued Judge Thatcher's daughter, Becky Thatcher, from the "labyrinth" that was hard to get out

of. Finally, he and his good friend Huck searched for treasure. They successfully dug out the hidden treasure in the ground, and Tom showed his wit again. He hid the treasure in two small pockets and carried it out with difficulty.

Tom's childhood is full of rebellion and adventure. I hope you can follow this witty and brave little hero to feel the transparency of childlike innocence, the beauty of youth, the warmth of life and the value of freedom

Let's lay a good foundation for our childhood and our life. Let's enter his childhood and his memories together!

When it comes to reading, it's my favorite hobby. I have read countless books, among which the most childish one is the adventures of Tom Sawyer. The author of this book is Mark Twain, a famous American literary master. After reading this book, I deeply feel the hero Tom's courage and justice.

One day, Tom and his partner Huck witnessed a shocking murder in the cemetery. But the murderer Porter wronged Harper, so he was arrested. Tom decided to prove everything in court. How much courage it takes! This is a homicide case. Besides, Porter, the murderer at that time, was also present. Was he not afraid of porter? Because Tom has a strong sense of justice, so he is desperate to save Harper, to return his innocence. I admire him so much!

Once again, Tom and his partner Becky were playing. I lost my way in a big cave with five fingers out of my hand and crisscross with channels. They were trapped inside for days and nights. Becky was a girl, and she could not walk any more. Tom risked her life to find her way out of the cave.

How brave! Show no weakness in front of death. Tom's every move proves his bravery. Ordinary people will be scared by themselves first, but he bravely faces and relieves all difficulties and dangers!

After reading this book, I became brave and just. Now, I finally understand the impact of reading on us. In the future, I will think of this name - Tom!

外国名著英文读后感

外国名著英文读后感 We remember her self-respect and the clear situation on equality. In her opinion, everyone is the same at the God’s feet. Though there are differences in status、in property and also in appearance, but all the human being are equal in personality. 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. 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. We can't imagine living in a world without light and sound,so we can't perceive the spiritual world of disabled people who are blind,deaf or even dumb.Have you ever thought if we lose our eyeslight and hearing one day ,how can we live the rest of our life ?Heller Keller in her famous essay"If I Had Three Days to See"gives us her answer. After reading the essay,Iwas deeply moved by Heller's spirit.Heller was blind ,deaf and dumb.She suffered much from such a great misfortune in her childhood,but her inner world was very rich.She longed for three day's lights to feel the world.She would like to see people who gave her love and friendship.In order to know the soul of human ,she planned to appreciate opera and literature.She intended to experience people's daily life. One of my friends had recommended the book Gone with the Wind almost two years’ ago, but my reading plan was just put off, for the book is really too thick and I even no courage to start. However, this semester I made my mind to read and I found myself was totally lost in the absorbing plots and the

《杰克伦敦短篇小说选》读后感_800字

《杰克伦敦短篇小说选》读后感_800字 这个寒假我花了二个星期在网上阅读了《杰克伦敦短篇小说选》。这是一本想快读却读不快的一本书,我认为。《杰克·伦敦短篇小说选》精选了杰克·伦敦较有代表性的短篇小说,包括《热爱生命》、《北方的奥德赛》、《为赶路的人干杯》、《黄金谷》、《强者的力量》等。杰克·伦敦是美国20 世纪著名的现实主义作家,是美国文学史上最重要的作家之一。杰克伦敦先生写的是一个时代的缩影。 他的文中到处是蛮荒,冰雪,野性和文明的交碰是那么剧烈,开拓者们挣扎在各种的绝境里,在原始蛮荒下人的血性被逼出,生命的张力和韧性让人震动。然而现实社会的我们明明在幸福的生活,却往往身在福中不知福。考试不及格、和父母吵架、零花钱不够花、父母偷看了你的秘密,我们便要死要活的。天灾人祸也往往会提醒我们:我们现在是多么美好,要珍惜现在,热爱生命!热爱生命,是每一个生命体最基本、最不可缺少的基质,也是自己最不可放弃的权利,也是自己最不可让渡的责任。 热爱自己的生命,热爱生命世界,乃是教育最不可背叛的基点。在许多著名的章节中让我最有感触的是<银白色寂静>。这是讲述三个人和狼狗们在雪地里和生命斗争的故事。杰克伦敦将人物们置于极端严酷、生死攸关的环境之

下,以此展露人性中最深刻、最真实的品格。虽然结局不尽人意,但却可以为人类敲响警钟。其 中我也摘选了许多好词好句:1。我所看到的,是征服的迷人力量,是血色冒险及黄金潮的迷人力量。……生命既勇敢又狂野,而我正经历着我阅读了无数遍的冒险生活。2。承担起自己生命的责任,如这里的主人公一般。完整地说:“自己”热爱生命、包括自己的生命3。人生的劳役,莫过于在北极地带跋涉。在这萧索的无人区行进,如果沉默一天就能一路平安,乃是最高的快乐了。4。时光在流逝,这白色的寂静令旅人为之敬畏,他们全心全意地专注于自己的苦役。天地有众多手腕使人类感到自我的渺小和生命的可贵——汹涌的潮汐、狂猛的风暴、慑人的地震、轰隆的雷电——但一切手腕莫过于这白色的寂静。5。“砰”,一声枪响,梅森接着被弹向他的空中之墓。基德鞭打着狗群,雪橇在雪原上狂奔。我想以上便是我阅读《杰克伦敦短篇小说选》的感触及收获。

经典英文短篇小说 (108)

The Romance of a Busy Broker by O. Henry Pitcher, confidential clerk in the office of Harvey Maxwell, broker, allowed a look of mild interest and surprise to visit his usually expressionless countenance when his employer briskly entered at half past nine in company with his young lady stenographer. With a snappy "Good-morning, Pitcher," Maxwell dashed at his desk as though he were intending to leap over it, and then plunged into the great heap of letters and telegrams waiting there for him. The young lady had been Maxwell's stenographer for a year. She was beautiful in a way that was decidedly unstenographic. She forewent the pomp of the alluring pompadour. She wore no chains, bracelets or lockets. She had not the air of being about to accept an invitation to luncheon. Her dress was grey and plain, but it fitted her figure with fidelity and discretion. In her neat black turban hat was the gold-green wing of a macaw. On this morning she was softly and shyly radiant. Her eyes were dreamily bright, her cheeks genuine peachblow, her expression a happy one, tinged with reminiscence. Pitcher, still mildly curious, noticed a difference in her ways this morning. Instead of going straight into the adjoining room, where her desk was, she lingered, slightly irresolute, in the outer office. Once she moved over by Maxwell's desk, near enough for him to be aware of her presence. The machine sitting at that desk was no longer a man; it was a busy New York broker, moved by buzzing wheels and uncoiling springs. "Well--what is it? Anything?" asked Maxwell sharply. His opened mail lay like a bank of stage snow on his crowded desk. His keen grey eye, impersonal and brusque, flashed upon her half impatiently. "Nothing," answered the stenographer, moving away with a little smile. "Mr. Pitcher," she said to the confidential clerk, did Mr. Maxwell say anything yesterday about engaging another stenographer?" "He did," answered Pitcher. "He told me to get another one. I notified the agency yesterday afternoon to send over a few samples this morning. It's 9.45 o'clock, and not a single picture hat or piece of pineapple chewing gum has showed up yet." "I will do the work as usual, then," said the young lady, "until some one comes to fill the place." And she went to her desk at once and hung the black turban hat with the gold-green macaw wing in its accustomed place. He who has been denied the spectacle of a busy Manhattan broker during a rush of business is handicapped for the profession of anthropology. The poet sings

英语短篇小说-菊花

The Chrysanthemum Elisa Allen, a woman approaching middle age, is at a point in her life when she has begun to realize that her energy and creative drive far exceed the opportunities for their expression. Her marriage is reasonably happy—when she notices that her husband is proud of selling thirty head of steers he has raised, she gives him the compliment he hopes for, while he, in turn, appreciates her ability to grow flowers of exceptional quality. There is an easy banter between them, and while they have settled into a fairly familiar routine, they are still responsive to each other’s moods, and eager to celebrate an achievement in each other’s company with a night on the town. On the other hand, their marriage is childless, and Elisa generally wears bland, bulging clothes that tend to de-sex her. Their house is described as “hard-swept” and “hard-polished”; it is the only outlet for her talents and it is an insufficient focus for her energy. She has begun to sense that an important part of her is lying dormant and that the future will be predictable and rather mundane.

The-Raven中英文赏析

哥特式文学首先盛行于18,19世纪的西方世界,旨在描述发生在 充满神秘与恐怖氛围中的传奇经历。许多学者认为,“哥特元素大都运用于小说创作,而诗歌则由于受到情节、节奏与韵律的限制而缺少叙述哥特故事的基础条件” (Tzvetan 25-26)。但部分学者则坚信“哥特元素不仅存在于小说中,在诗歌当中亦可以分外活跃”(刘守兰:55)。作为美国哥特文学大师与先驱,埃德加·爱伦坡的短篇小说以及他的诗作都充满了哥特式的神奇色彩。但是大多数学者仅将研究聚焦于其短篇小说中的哥特研究,而忽视了该元素在其诗歌中也存在的现实。 一、爱伦坡所持的哥特式文学理论 爱伦坡对美好事物的凋零有着强烈的迷恋。追根究底,这还源于他儿时的丧亲之痛,与中年的丧妻之痛。而已逝女子的影子常在他脑海里盘旋,引领他在诗歌王国里翱翔。哥特式风格又恰如其分地被其用于诠释他心底深处的恐惧与压抑。众多作家在描写恐怖情节时,常对外部环境进行大力渲染,而他则更注重对人内心世界的雕琢。他深信“诗歌的最好主题是死亡,尤其是美丽尤物的死亡,将毫无疑问是世界上最具诗意的主题(Poe:133-140)”。他用诗歌践行了自己的写作原则,并将一生都奉献给了这种哀伤的美丽。为更清晰地展现爱伦坡的哥特式写作风格,本文将以《乌鸦》为例并诠释其中所蕴含的死亡之美与哥特式元素。 二、意象塑造 1、人与物的塑造 《乌鸦》塑造了两个重要形象:年轻男子与乌鸦。悲伤的男子刚失去他最爱的女子,他企图沉浸于书以忘却伤痛,但一切都是徒劳,他越看书,越被寂寞与悲痛侵蚀;而象征死亡与不祥的乌鸦却在午夜,飞入这间男子曾常与故去情人蕾诺相会的小屋。此外,诗人还塑造了两个对诗的主旨起重要作用的意象。其一为黑色,“纯色调可使人产生快乐或抑郁之感”(朱立元:489-490)。诗中所连续采用的黑色背景,可使读者感到压抑,从而感受男子心底的恐惧与悲痛。 诗中反复出现的“永远不再”亦可看作一种特殊形象。除该词的原意外,它还具有象征意义。在乌鸦出场时,悲伤的男子问它叫什么名字,乌鸦的回答就是“永远不再”,但当主人翁向乌鸦询问是否有良药以消除他心中对蕾诺的思念时,当他想知道是否能与蕾诺在遥远的天堂再次相会时,以及最后要求乌鸦离开小屋时,乌鸦都是通过“永远不再”作答,也正是这个词,使得男子陷入永恒的悲痛深渊。 2、场景设置 读者可在开篇看到一幅夜半三更的凄厉画卷: 阴森的气氛,令人毛骨悚然的场景,神秘而忧郁的男子,不祥的乌鸦……在阴郁而寒冷的午夜,除寒风的呼啸声与男子翻动书页的声音,周围的一切均可谓万籁俱寂,屋外的世界在夜的面纱笼罩之下,而屋内的狭小空间在昏暗的光线下显得忽明忽暗,突然一阵短暂的敲门声在他房门上叩响,但当他打开房门查看时,却不见敲门人,只有无情的黑夜与肆虐的狂风。然而,当他回到屋内,之前的敲门声却再次响起,乌鸦在这时飞入他的房间,并栖息于他房门之上。 但为何选择午夜作为故事发生的时间?午夜意味着恐怖与神秘,各种幽灵与魔鬼总在此时出没。这种令人发怵的氛围,为乌鸦的出场奠定了基调。诗人将故事设置在一所幽僻而狭小的屋子里也是别有一番用心。首先,狭小而封闭的空间对构

小王子读后感 Despite I’baive 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. “duI”, 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. 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

宁波大学考核答题纸 (2014—2015学年第一学期) 课号:063W22A09 课程名称:英语短片小说选读改卷教师:阿德尔 学号:116070035 姓名:石佳得分: The Epiphany for Love Dubliners is often considered as the reflection of ethnic history in Dublin which, is stuffed by the ubiquitous “paralysis”. The corruption in social life, in politics even in people’s spirit is said to have made great impression in reader’s mind. However, with the skinny experience for no more than twenty years, I dare not conclude the thesis or the main idea of this opus in haste, while I could also not just allow myself to follow those comments and opinions made by “they”. Among the chapters I have read, Araby s eems to appeal to me most, because I have once had the same feeling of that little boy. This kind of feeling, literally, the epiphany for love, is the sweetest emotion and the most endurable torture I’ve ever experienced. There seems to be three periods of time during the process of the epiphany for love but to summarize with suitable words is undoubtedly a knotty issue. What comes first must be the admiration for the one who possesses neat skin, delicate facial features or slim figure, or even just a special nice odor. Since an occasion even you yourself cannot remember for sure, a figure has inserted into your little world and driven you to do crazy things. The shadow turned to the base to watch her; the hall witnessed numerous bumping into each other and in that corner the light from the lamp opposite the door caught the white curve of her neck, lit up her hair that rested there and, falling, lit up the hand upon the railing. What a magic feeling! But as you gradually sank in this dramatic journey, the inexplicable confusion and loneliness began to kidnap you. You found that you were not only the idle but also the weirdo nobody understands including yourself. Her name was like a summons to all your foolish body and her words and gestures were like fingers running upon the wires. With this confused adoration, sometimes even an unnoticeable movement or sentence would annihilate the sunshine and the hesitation between “do” or “do not” always brought heavy rain. Asking help seems to be of no sense because adults were going to acting lightly even sometimes with contempt. So the only way is to lie on the floor in a dark evening murmuring her name. I believe that sex or the thoughts about sex must accompany though there is no such description between the lines. And this kind of confusion and loneliness cannot be removed until she refuses which is sure to leave the unbearable pain for you to learn from, or luckily, accepts, which means you are going to exploring the sealed world together. Then the epiphany for love seems to be accomplished. No one can bypass the enlightenment of love to achieve the epiphany. And only by experiencing the sweetest emotion and the most endurable torture at the same time can people really get to know the original taste of love.
