快乐王子读后感50字左右英文版全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1The Happy Prince by Oscar Wilde: A Essay by a KidI had to read the book The Happy Prince by Oscar Wilde for school. At first I didn't want to because the name sounded kind of lame. But it turned out to be a really cool story!The book is about a statue of a prince covered in gold and jewels. The statue used to be a real prince when he was alive. When he died, they made the statue to remember him. The statue could see everything going on in the town from up high on the tall column.One night, a little swallow stopped to rest before flying to Egypt for the winter. The swallow met the statue and it could talk! The statue told the swallow it used to be a real prince and he saw so much sadness and poverty in the town below. He said his ruby eyes could cry but that was all.The kind swallow felt bad for the statue and decided to stay and help him. The statue would tell the swallow about the poorpeople he saw from his view up high. Like a mother with a sick boy who had no money for medicine. Or a young writer with no heat or food trying to finish a play. The swallow would pull out the gold leaf covering the statue and deliver it to the people who needed help.Slowly the statue got dullter and dullter as his gold coating was removed, but his heart became more and more beautiful on the inside. The swallow worked hard even as winter came, getting weaker without migrating to Egypt. But he chose to stay and be the statue's friend and helper.Finally one stormy night, there was only one ruby left in the statue's eye socket. The swallow pulled it out with his little beak and it fell onto the street. The mayor's son was riding by and thought the ruby looked valuable, so he picked it up and put it on a chain around his neck. Seconds later, the swallow died from the cold and fell down dead in the city square.In the morning, an emaciated old man and a young man were admiring the leaden statue with no jewels left. The old man said, "He is no longer a happy prince, he is the ugliest thing I have ever seen." But the young man said, "No, he is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen! Those ruby lips showing the endless suffering he experienced for the poor!"Just then, a strange thing happened. A huge crack sounded and the leaden heart broke apart, revealing the dead swallow inside. The tiny bird had chosen to die for the cause of selfless charity rather than migrate and live for itself. The townspeople crowded around marveling at the dead bird inside the ugly statue, seeing a symbol of sacrificial love and compassion.I think the story is saying you shouldn't judge things just by outside appearances. The statue looked ugly and worthless by the end without its gold. But it showed that true beauty is about what's in your heart - caring about others and making sacrifices to help people. The little swallow understood that message the best, giving his whole life to help the once-rich prince give away his riches to the poor.So even though the statue and bird looked ugly after their work was done, they actually became the most beautiful things of all through their good deeds. And the story makes me want to be a giver like the happy prince and look for ways to help people who are struggling. Sometimes the most beautiful things don't look fancy or expensive on the outside! I used to think beauty was just about how things looked, but now I know the real beauty is how you treat others.I give The Happy Prince 5 stars! It's sad but fills your heart at the same time. Oscar Wilde must have been a really wise person to see that outer beauty is nothing compared to inner beauty. This story will definitely make me look at homeless people on the street differently from now on and want to find ways to help them, even if it's just giving them a couple dollars. You never know what sacrifices people have made to be in that situation!篇2The Happy Prince by Oscar WildeI just finished reading the story "The Happy Prince" by Oscar Wilde, and I have to say, it was a very sad but beautiful tale. It's the kind of book that makes you cry, but also feel happy and grateful inside.The story is about a grand statue of a Prince covered in gold and jewels. Even though he was just a statue, he could see everything going on in the town from his tall pedestal. One night, a swallow who was migrating stopped to rest under the statue's feet. The Prince could talk, and he asked the swallow to stay and be his messenger to help the poor people of the town.At first, the swallow didn't want to because he was supposed to be flying to Egypt for the winter. But he felt sorry for thePrince who couldn't move or help anyone himself. So the swallow decided to stay and do as the Prince asked.The Prince would see people in need and tell the swallow to go pluck out one of the jewels or bits of gold from his body to give to them. Like there was a poor woman trying to get her sick child warm, so the swallow brought one of the Prince's ruby eyes to give her to buy food and blankets. And a poor playwright had to sell his play to get money, so the swallow got the other ruby eye from the Prince to give to the writer.Eventually, the swallow pulled off all the Prince's gold leaf until he was no longer shiny and beautiful. But the Prince didn't mind, because he was so happy to be able to help the people in need. He told the swallow incredible stories that made the little bird want to stay forever instead of leaving for Egypt.In the end though, it got too cold, and the swallow died from the freezing weather while listening to the Prince talk. His little body fell to the ground below. The townspeople just brushed away the dead bird like it was nothing and continued on with their lives.The next day after the swallow died, a huge storm came. The metal statue of the Prince got blown over and crashed to theground, shattering into pieces. The only things that didn't break were the leaden heart and the dead swallow.A group of scientists found the heart and the bird and said the heart must have been made of lead since it didn't get damaged. But an angel saw them and said no, it was definitely a heart made of gold that was too pure and beautiful to ever be destroyed. The angel also saw the little dead bird and picked it up to bring to heaven as the most precious thing of all.I thought this story was so touching and made me realize how important it is to be kind and generous, even if you don't have much to give. The Happy Prince gave away all his riches and beauty to help others, and in the end, his good deeds are what made him truly valuable, not his fancy jewels. And the poor little swallow who selflessly stayed to be the Prince's helper was the most precious thing in god's eyes.It makes me want to be more like the Prince and the swallow - to care about other people's needs and do what I can to make their lives better, even if it's just a small act of kindness. We should all try to have a heart as caring and "golden" as the Happy Prince. True worth isn't measured by how rich orgood-looking you are, but by how much you do for others.That's my big takeaway from this classic children's tale. While the ending is very sad when the swallow dies and the statue breaks, the message of compassion and self-sacrifice really stuck with me. I think every kid and adult should read "The Happy Prince" so we can all learn this important life lesson - that the greatest people are the ones who are happiest to share what they have to help make the world a little bit better.篇3The Happy Prince by Oscar Wilde - A Book ReportI just finished reading the book "The Happy Prince" by Oscar Wilde and I have to say, it was really good! It's a short story, which means it's not very long, but it packs a big punch. Let me tell you all about it.The story starts off with a statue of a prince covered in gold and jewels. He's standing up on a tall column in the city, looking over everything. A little swallow stops to rest at his feet before starting his journey down to Egypt for the winter. The two of them start talking, and the swallow is surprised to hear the prince speak!The prince explains that when he was alive, he never noticed all the poverty and sadness around his city because he was toocaught up in his wealthy, privileged life. But now as a statue, he can see everything clearly. He asks the swallow to stay and help him by taking the jewels off his body and giving them to the poor people in the city.At first the swallow doesn't want to because he needs to get to Egypt before winter sets in. But he feels sorry for the prince and agrees to help for just this night before leaving in the morning. So the prince sends the swallow all around the city, plucking off ruby after sapphire after jewel and giving them to poor, hungry families.In the morning, the swallow is too tired to fly to Egypt. The prince convinces him to stay for just one more night of deliveries. This pattern continues night after night - the swallow flies around helping the poor with jewels from the prince until he is just a dull, naked statue.Winter comes, and the swallow grows weaker and weaker from the cold. Still, he refuses to desert the prince. Finally, after helping a poor young boy and his sick mother, the swallow dies of the cold at the prince's feet.The townspeople who had watched the prince give away all his riches thought it was so stupid. But a religious figure sees the dead swallow at the prince's feet and calls it the most preciousthing in the city. He has the dilapidated statue put into a museum as an important piece.I loved this story because it shows you don't have to be a real prince to be kind and generous. The Happy Prince and the swallow were selfless in wanting to help those less fortunate, even when it meant great sacrifice for them. It reminds me that we should keep our eyes open to people in need around us and do what we can to make their lives a little easier. A small act of kindness can make a big difference!The end was really sad when the swallow died, but also beautiful because it meant he had been so dedicated to the prince's mission of charity. This book taught me you're never too young or too small to care about others. I think every kid (and adult!) should read "The Happy Prince" so they can learn this important lesson in a fun, fairytale kind of way. I'm going to keep this one on my bookshelf to read again for sure!篇4The Happy Prince by Oscar Wilde - A Book ReportI just finished reading the book "The Happy Prince" by Oscar Wilde and I have to say, it was really sad but also really beautiful. It's about a statue of a prince that was covered in gold and jewels.Even though he was just a statue, he could see all the poverty and sadness in the city below him.A little bird came to build her nest in the prince's statue. The prince asked her to take his jewels and gold and give them to the poor people. The bird did what he asked, even though it was really hard work to carry the heavy jewels. The prince was so kind and wanted to help the poor people however he could, even though he was just a statue.By the end, the bird had taken away all the prince's gold and jewels to give to the poor. The townspeople didn't understand why the statue looked so dull and worn down. They just thought it was an ugly statue. Only the poor people knew that the prince's jewels had helped them survive.In the last part, the bird was too tired to fly away for the winter. She cuddled up next to the prince's statue heart to keep warm. When the town officials saw the dead bird's body, they knocked down the entire statue because they thought it looked ridiculous.In a magical way, a lead heart wasn't really lead at all. God had sent an angel to get the two most precious things in the city - the prince's lead heart and the little dead bird. Those were theonly things that represented true love and sacrifice, so they got carried up to heaven.I thought it was a very sad but beautiful story about selflessness and compassion. Both the prince and the bird gave up everything they had to help others in need. That's a great lesson about how important it is to be kind and generous, even when you don't have much yourself.It made me want to look around my own community and find ways to help people who are struggling with poverty or sadness, just like the prince did. Maybe I can do a bake sale and give the money to a homeless shelter. Or collect canned goods for a food pantry. I might be just a kid, but this story inspired me to find little ways to be a "happy prince" and share what I have with the less fortunate.I think everyone can learn something important from this classic tale - to have compassion for others, to be selfless and generous, and to always help those in need however you can. It's the smallest acts of kindness that can make the biggest difference in someone's life. The happy prince taught me that valuable lesson in a very powerful and unforgettable way through his ultimate sacrifice.篇5The Happy Prince by Mr. Oscar WildeI just finished reading the story "The Happy Prince" and it made me feel so many different feelings! At first I was sad because the Happy Prince statue could see all the poverty and suffering of the people in the city he overlooked. He was covered in gold and jewels but he felt terrible that he couldn't help the poor citizens.Then a little swallow stopped to rest on the statue on his migration journey. The swallow was going to travel to Egypt for the summer with his flock, but the Prince persuaded him to stay and help deliver his jewels and gold coating to the poor citizens of the city. The swallow was doubtful at first, but he ended up agreeing because he felt sorry for the Prince who couldn't move or do anything himself.Over the autumn days, the Prince would have the swallow pry off jewels and gold leaf from his body and drop them down to poor families in need. I thought it was so kind of the swallow to risk his life flying in the cold and sacrifice his journey just to help deliver the Prince's riches to those in poverty. The story showed that even though the Prince was just a statue, his leadheart was full of compassion. And even though the swallow was a very small creature, he showed immense selflessness and courage.My favorite part was when the swallow delivered one of the Prince's sapphire eyes to the poor young woman with the sick boy. She was able to sell the sapphire to a mercenary for money to buy food and get her son medicine. I was so relieved the sick boy would be okay thanks to the Prince and swallow's generosity!By the time winter came, the swallow had worked so hard that he eventually became too cold and sick to fly away before dying. The story made me cry when the swallow died from the cold after delivering the Prince's final gold leaf. The once radiant Happy Prince statue was now stripped bare, with only one dull eye remaining.In the spring, a remorseful Mayor ordered the destroyed statue to be melted down. But then an angel appeared and delivered the leaden heart of the statue and the dead swallow to paradise as the two most precious things in the city. This reminded me that kindness and self-sacrifice are the most valuable things of all, more than any gold or jewels.I thought the story had such a beautiful message about selflessness, charity for the poor, and how the most unlikely heroes can show immense compassion despite their limitations. The fancy statue and the tiny swallow worked together to make the world a bit better for those most in need. I will try my best to be as caring and generous as the Happy Prince and the swallow whenever I can help someone in need.篇6The Happy Prince by Oscar WildeI just finished reading the book "The Happy Prince" by Oscar Wilde and I have so many thoughts spinning around in my head! This book really made me think about what it means to be kind and selfless.The story is about a beautiful prince statue covered in gold and jewels. Even though he was just a statue, he could see all the poverty and sadness in the town around him. There was a swallow bird that stopped to rest at his feet before migrating south for the winter. The Happy Prince convinced the swallow to stay and help him by taking off his jewels and gold leaf to give to the poor people in the town.At first, the swallow didn't want to because he thought it would delay his migration too much. But the Happy Prince was so sad about all the people suffering that the swallow felt bad and agreed to help. The swallow started taking the jewels to give to a struggling family, an impoverished writer, and other poor folks in need. With each jewel delivered, the Happy Prince became less shiny and battered from the weather.My favorite part was when the swallow pulled out the Prince's sapphire eye to give to a young boy. The Prince was so happy to help the boy that it made his remaining eye fill with a crystal tear which the swallow had to pry out to give to a poor seamstress. Even though the Prince lost both his beautiful eyes, he felt warm sunshine on his face instead of tears when he realized how much he helped people.I thought it was really sad when winter came and the swallow grew too weak from the cold to fly south before dying at the Prince's feet. The Prince told the swallow that they would live forever because their good deed was written in the book of God. When the Mayor and town leaders saw how battered and ugly the Prince statue looked without its jewels, they decided to melt it down. But an angel appeared to collect the two most precious things in the city - the swallow and the Happy Prince statue.This tale really teaches the beauty and reward of selflessness and generosity. Even though the Happy Prince was just a statue, he showed incredible compassion towards the poor and suffering people of the town. He convinced the selfish swallow to overcome his own wants and needs to help make the world a little bit better place before winter came.I think kids and adults alike can learn a valuable lesson from the Happy Prince's example. He taught us that the most precious things in life are not material goods like gold, jewels or beauty on the outside. The things that really matter are good deeds, generosity and kindness from the heart. Wealth and status mean nothing if we don't use what we have to help others.The swallow also went through an important change and growth. At first, he was vain, selfish and didn't want to delay his own migration plans to stay behind. But the Happy Prince's pleas and giving spirit inspired the swallow to see beyond his own needs. He put service to those suffering above his own wants until it cost him his life. Seeing how far the swallow went to help others really moved me.I found this story very sad but also uplifting. Sad because the Prince had to give up his beauty and the swallow lost his life from staying too long in the cold. But uplifting because their gooddeeds and sacrifice were rewarded by an angel taking them to heaven. It made me realize how important it is to be kind and give of ourselves, even if it means making personal sacrifices or giving up something we value.I wish I could be as selfless as the Happy Prince! But I can certainly try harder to think of others' needs above my own wants. I may not have riches to give away, but I can give my time, energy and care to those in need around me at school or in my community. This book has inspired me to look for ways I can go out of my way to perform good deeds and acts of service, no matter how small. Even the tiniest act of kindness can mean the world to someone suffering. Just like the Prince's generosity meant everything to those in poverty.From now on, instead of dwelling on the latest toy, video game or goodies I want for myself, I'm going to keep my eyes open for opportunities to put others first. When I see someone struggling, I hope I can be giving and kind like the Happy Prince. It's more important to be a giver than a taker. This book has motivated me to be more aware of those in need around me. Even a small gesture - like the swallow's delivery of each jewel - could make someone else's day so much better and fuller. Justthinking of the joy that simple giving brought to the struggling families in the story makes me smile!Overall, I absolutely loved this heartwarming book and its beautiful message of unconditional generosity and compassion. The tale of the Happy Prince and swallow will stick with me as I go through life and have choices to make. Will I be selfish and look out only for myself? Or will I think of the greater good and find ways to share whatever I have to help others? The prince and swallow have set an inspiring example I will aspire to follow. I hope I can make them proud and spread more kindness and giving in this world that needs it so desperately.。

《快乐王子》的读后感英文
《快乐王子》的读后感英文The Happy Prince is a touching tale that leaves a deep impact on the readers. Oscar Wilde's writing style is whimsical and colorful that transports the readers to a magical world where there is sorrow and joy coexisting together.The story starts with a description of a statue of a prince covered in gold and jewels, perched on a high pedestal overlooking the city. Though he is regarded as the 'Happy Prince,' he is sad inside. It is only after a sparrow comes to him and asks for help that the prince understands the harsh realities of life beyond his high pedestal.The Happy Prince selflessly helps the poor in his city, despite being a statue. He sacrifices his jewels and gold to help the needy, and in doing so, he becomes a symbol of kindness and goodness. The tale puts forth a message that even small gestures of kindness can make a huge difference.The character of the swallow is also significant in the story. The sparrow helps the prince in his endeavors of assisting the poor, and in the end, they both die together. The swallow represents the importance of empathy and selflessness. He puts his own comfort aside to help a friend in need.The story is not only a commentary on social inequality but also on the human condition of love and sacrifice. The Happy Prince teaches us that love and sacrifice are the most significant virtues a person can possess. It is also emblematic of the beauty and majesty of selflessness.The writing style is very melodic and poetic, and the story is full of enchanting descriptions. The narrative is often dark and sad, but the ending is uplifting and hopeful. The author's use of imagery is enrapturing and adds depth to the story. The underlying theme of the story is the idea that empathy and kindness go together.In conclusion, The Happy Prince is a poignant tale that will linger with the readers long after they have finished reading. The story has a timeless quality that still resonates with audiences today. The book is not just a children's story but a masterpiece of literature. It reminds us that kindness is essential in a world that is often cruel and unforgiving. The message of the story is simple yet potent: love and sacrifice make life worth living, and they bring joy even in the darkest moments.Apart from the universal themes of love, sacrifice, and kindness, Oscar Wilde's The Happy Prince also addresses the issue of social inequality prevalent in his time. Through the Happy Prince's observations of the suffering of the poor, Wilde highlights the issue of class division and economic disparity in society.The prince represents the wealthy class that stands at a distance from the troubles of the poor. However, through his involvement in the lives of the poor, he becomes aware of their sufferings and sacrifices his wealth to alleviate their troubles. Wilde challenges the selfishness and callousness of the upper class and calls for compassionate actions towards the less privileged members of society.Moreover, the story also critiques the self-serving attitude of the government and institutions towards the underprivileged. Themayor and the bishop in the story are portrayed as negligent towards the plight of the poor, showing a lack of empathy for their suffering.The Happy Prince is also a story of friendship and sacrifice, showing the value of selfless love and the importance of putting others' needs before our own. The swallow becomes the prince's loyal companion in his mission of helping the poor even at the cost of his own life. Wilde highlights the significance of such friendships in bringing about positive change in society. Overall, The Happy Prince is a timeless classic that continues to inspire readers and intervene in societal issues through its simple yet poignant narrative. Its themes of love, sacrifice, kindness, and social inequality are as relevant today as they were during Wilde's time, making it a must-read for all ages.。

The happy princeThe happy prince is a famous fairy tale written by Oscar Wilde. When I first heard the book’s name, I thought it must be an interesting story about the happy life of the prince or about the romantic love between the prince and princess. However, it was a sad story. The prince devoted himself to the happiness of others. I was greatly touched by what the prince and the little swallow have done.This book mainly tells the story about the happy prince and a swallow. They are the embodiments of the true, the good and the beautiful. In fact, the prince is just a statue standing high above the city. Once he was a happy prince living in the palace of Sans-Souci and he didn’t know what sorrow was. Now as a statue, his body was gilded with thin leaves of fine gold, for eyes he had two bright sapphires, and a large red ruby glowed on his sword-hilt.
